[Khmer] Government Forces drive back Communist troops in fierce paddyfield battle (Visnews production number 13978-71)
Description
As forces of the Khmer Government and Communist troops battle for control around the outskirts of Phnom Penh, some of the heaviest fighting since the war escalated into the country has been reported over the last few days. Last Tuesday (23 November), Visnews cameraman Neil Davis accompanied a battalion of crack Khmer Krom troops into a paddy field battle and shot this account of one of the bloodiest clashes since the fighting around Phnom Penh began.
