Bravo company started pushing up the hill while meeting large amounts of North Vietnamese soldiers. Because of the resistance, they called in close air support to aid in moving up the hill. Miscommunication caused the air support to confuse the landing zone for an NVA camp resulting in them opening fire and killing two and injuring thirty-five of their own. Unfortunately, this was the first but not the last friendly fire incident during this battle. The thick vegetation caused for so much miscommunication and inability to properly identify targets. Honeycutt continued to launch assaults against the NVA. Theses assaults would face heavy resistance with many casualties. Lt.

These air strikes and napalm eliminated many of the NVA bunkers and trenching system (Hickman,

No other allied operations were as thoroughly planned and coordinated as ours to succeed in capturing Vimy, since the Ridge was so well fortified all attempts to capture it failed ultimately except ours. Canadians soldiers trained exceptionally under the surveillance of Arthur Currie commander of the First Canadian Division. Preparations were complex; to thoroughly understand and prepare for every stage of the warfare a replica of Vimy had been built representing every inch for implementation at the authentic Vimy Ridge on Easter Monday. Most historians accounted that Major-General Currie was tolerant, diligent and had significant faith in his men. The weeks of practice, accumulate of weapons and hard work finally paid off. In a matter of five days the Canadian Corps had captured all of Vimy Ridge. The Icy, snow- covered ridge may have been impregnable for the debilitated but not for a powerful determined nation like the
