Action Continues Near Cambodia
Battlefield action pressed along the Cambodian border north of Saigon as U S forces faced renewed shelling of camps near Bu Prang and an army helicopter was shot down killing four Americans. Farther south troops uncovered a 13 ton rice cache, killed 11 enemy soldiers on a jungle trail and found 22 enemy corpses. Bombers retaliated with up to 309 tons of air strikes while defectors increased as four NVA divisions shift, with analysts noting a potential westward movement and a wider campaign expected mid November. President Thieu urged greater sacrifice on National Day eve to defend independence.
