The headquarters platoon was to engage the Vinatexco Mill while the other two platoons attacked south through the village, the artillery and helicopter gunships would prevent any escape to the south or southwest. The subsequent assault was described as a "turkey shoot" as any fleeing VC/PAVN had to run a gauntlet of fire. However, many VC stayed to fight, putting up a steady stream of RPG and AK-47 fire and were systematically killed in their fighting positions. Otis was shot down three times while overseeing the battle.
