South Vietnamese Cambodians Smash North Vietnamese Base Camp
South Vietnamese troops with a token Cambodian force reportedly crushed a North Vietnamese base camp inside Cambodia near the Parrot's Beak. Officials claimed 179 NVA killed, 30 detained, 550 huts and bunkers destroyed, in a cross-border operation near Highway One northwest of Saigon. Eyewitnesses said over 2,000 South Vietnamese and 100 Cambodians advanced inside Cambodia, with some tanks and APCs in use. U.S. advisers reportedly crossed the border with the force. American observers monitored from a border post after Viet Cong and NVA attacks elsewhere. The operation followed a broader withdrawal shift as Nixon plans another reduction in U.S. forces.
