...Phnom-Penh, soldiers were installing Soviet-made 122-mm. artillery pieces to ward off any thrust from the south. Other troops, including elements of a 3,000-man contingent of Cambodian mercenaries who had fought with American Green Berets in Viet Nam, mounted a counterattack on Neak Luong. The tough, red-scarfed mercenaries, who were airlifted into Phnom-Penh last week to back up Lon Nol's weak 35,000-man army, expect to link up with South Vietnamese forces that were closing in on Neak Luong at week...
