On a much smaller scale, the NVA Tet offensive was repeated in 1969. Near Ben Het, an American firebase came under armored attack by units of the NVA 202nd Tank Regiment. The NVA goal was to take out the large self propelled artillery pieces located there. A platoon of  Patton tanks from the U.S. 69th was also located at the firebase.
