Shortly after dawn the 1st Infantry Regiment commander ordered his battalions to recapture the city. His three battalions north of Quảng Trị City began marching toward the capital. Along the way, they collided with the 808th Battalion blocking Highway 1 near the Trieu Phong District headquarters which temporarily stopped their assault. At about the same time, ARVN troops at La Vang began moving north toward the fighting between the Airborne companies and the K6 Battalion in the cemetery south of the city, and were ambushed by the K6th, slowing their advance to a crawl. Fighting south of the city there was heavy throughout the morning. Only the PAVN K5 Battalion, holding a position in Hai Lang District to block reinforcements from Huế, remained unengaged in the fighting.
