River Landing Liberates 344 Cambodian Villagers
Cambodian forces say they landed near Tonle Sap river mouth and freed 344 villagers from Khmer Rouge control on Koh Ta May island. Cpl. Am Rong reported the unit traveled 15 miles up the Tonle Sap river from Kompong Chuang, 60 miles north of Phnom Penh, to retake the island. He noted insurgents appeared low on rice and that rice production has fallen in Khmer Rouge areas as villagers described guerrillas mixing rice with a root. He also cited a government commander 40 miles north of Phnom Penh saying Highway 5 area has been cut for three weeks, cutting rice output as workers are forced onto nonowner lands. Two relief columns to reach Vihear Suor remained blocked by insurgents. A separate Saigon report charged North Vietnam and Viet Cong with violating Paris accords amid possible renewed hostilities after the Le Minh Ranger Camp capture.
