Glad you "got it". In a situation like this Recon calling in air/artillery on opposition support units (mortars, artillery) is exactly what they should be doing. They're not there to fight anything, except maybe the isolated AA position to clear the way for the air.

As to retreating into the bunkers ... that's sorta 50/50. The trenchline provides pretty good cover and while you can't stop the VC/NVA with small arms you can slow them down and make them mass for the artillery.

But as they say ... if it works it's a good idea!

May I ask where and how you used the Rifle Company that arrived in helos?
