One Australian foot mobile infantry company went into the greatest battle in Vietnam with "first line" ammunition. That is, 60 rounds per SLR and 600 per M60 (9 total in the company).
They were attacked during a thunder storm (ruling out air support) in a rubber plantation towards the end of a several day long patrol by 2,000-3,000 NVA...
...and won.
