The Battle of Song Be was a major action between the National Front for the Liberation of South Vietnam and Army of the Republic of Vietnam in May 1965.
Planned as a major show of force against the ARVN forces, the NLF attempted to capture the fortified capital of Phuoc Long province, Song Be. Perhaps to their surprise, ARVN forces in the area rallied and re-took the town by the end of the second day of combat. Several additional days of chasing the NLF forces involved proved fruitless, as they escaped.
