Jet bombing strikes, heavy artillery fire, and advancing paratroopers finally take Hill 875 after 3 days of some of the most furious fighting of the Vietnam War. A black screen reads, "Foe's Last Line - U.S. Troops Take Hill 875." An American bomber flies over a destroyed forest. Smoke rises from the forest. American troops hike over lying trees and branches. A soldier speaks into a field telephone while smoking a cigarette. Captured ammunitions are poured from cloth bags and displayed for the camera. Grenades, mortar shells, foot sandals.
