War Returns To Old Viet Battleground
In the central highlands South Vietnamese forces reported heavy fighting with 11 North Vietnamese and six government troops killed and 30 government soldiers wounded around the Plei Blang base after it fell Tuesday. Sixty five missing at Plei Blang and 30 killed highlight the battles near Pleiku, with further clashes 11 miles southwest of Kontum where 12 North Vietnamese were killed. A major shakeup reportedly ousts Lt. Gen. Nguyen Van Minh, amid criticism after early January fighting. In Cambodia Khmer Rouge forces closed Highway 4 near Phnom Penh, with 30 plus fighter-bombers flying sorties to disrupt insurgent positions along the defense perimeter.
