Cambodian Army Pressed Back Near Phnom Penh by North Vietnamese
North Vietnamese forces pushed the Cambodian army from Bat Doeung district town 16 miles northwest of Phnom Penh. About 50 Cambodians were killed or wounded, and 150 troops fled to safety at Phnom Baset outpost after two days of heavy fighting. The retreat followed earlier Cambodian losses as Hanoi’s forces gained 25 miles of Highway 6 and civilians fled Kompong Thom. U S air actions against the Ho Chi Minh trail intensified, with carriers Enterprise and Constellation using 100 plus planes daily in Laos and Cambodia.
