30 September 1968, Monday, 2245 Hours, VC Sappers Caught Probing Wire at Gate #11 At 2245 hours [10:45 PM], a team of Viet Cong sappers, tried to crawl through the wire of Long Binh Post at Gate #11. It appears their target was the POL (Petroleum, Oil, and Lubricant) storage tanks. Several mortar rounds were also launched at the area during the attack. They set off a trip flare and the bunker guards opened fire catching several of them in the perimeter wire. There was a brief exchange of fire before the VC retreated into the darkness. That night the bunker guards found one VC body in the wire and what appeared to be several blood trails. B Company Ambush Squad #76 conducted a search at first light with negative results.
