What Did the Viet Cong Learn the Hard Way at Long Tan?

On August 18th, 1966, in a monsoon-soaked rubber plantation near Nui Dat, 108 men from D Company, 6RAR were hit by a regimental-scale Viet Cong assault that should have wiped them out in minutes. Instead, they held. This video tells the Battle of Long Tan from a rarely explored angle: the enemy’s perspective. What the Viet Cong expected from another Western unit… and what they found instead. Silent movement. Controlled fire. Unshakable radio discipline. NCO-led cohesion under impossible pressure - and artillery support that cut through rain and chaos with terrifying precision. Wave after wave crashes into a shrinking perimeter. Ammunition runs low. Casualties mount. The moment of collapse never comes. And when APCs finally punch through the plantation, the battle flips in seconds - leaving behind a lesson the Viet Cong would carry for the rest of the war: Australians could be beaten, but they couldn’t be broken.
