Cambodian guerrillas retain hold on camp
By United Press International
BANGKOK, Thailand — Cambodian guerrillas said yesterday that they had killed more than 500 Vietnamese troops in a nine-day battle to keep control of a key island on the Thai-Cambodian border.
Gen. Sak Subskahon, chief of staff of the Khmer People's National Liberation Front, said Vietnamese forces had suffered more than 300 dead and 300 wounded since April 15. The army's offensive against KPNL1 military headquarters at Ampil, 128 miles east of Bangkok.
Sak said 22 KPNLF fighters had been killed and 101 wounded in the battle for Ampil, a sprawling border camp evacuated by 36,000 Cambodian refugees last week when the Vietnamese began their biggest military push of the current dry season.
After a week of skirmishes, Sak said his fighters Sunday launched a counterattack on Vietnamese who had surrounded Ampli.
The guerrillas said they recap
tured Beung Ampi, a small lake 2 miles west of Ampil taken by the Vietnamese at the beginning of their offensive.
Thai sources were unable to confirm KPNLF casualty figures but said the guerrillas appeared to have broken out of Ampil.
Fighting continued yesterday, when KPNLF forces suffered four dead and 20 wounded as they advanced on Vietnamese positions.
They said Vietnamese artillery also fired into Nong Chan, a refugee camp and resistance base 12 miles southwest of Ampil.
Western relief officials at the border said that about 60,000 Cambodian civilians were prepared to flee across the border into Thailand from Nong Chan and the nearby Khmer-speaking country, the Vietnamese shelling continued.
Another 80,000 refugees have already been granted temporary refuge in Thailand since Hanoi's offensive began.
The Vietnamese drove the Kmer Rouge, one of the three guerrilla groups fighting the Vietnamese war from Phnom Penh in January, 1979.

Nicaragua says troops killed 25,injured 35
Nicaragua government troops killed 25 U.S.-backed rebels and wounded at least 35 others in two clashes in the country's northern provinces, the official Sandista newspaper said yesterday.
On the Salvadoran war front, 1,200 government troops launched a drive against leftist rebels the army feared would attack the country's newest hydroelectric dam, military officers said.
The fighting occurred Thursday and Friday near the towns of Wiwili and Quilai, about 100 miles north of Managua, the newspaper said.
Nicaragua's official newspaper, Barricada, said the German Pomares Battalion clashed with rebels of the Honduras-based Nicaraguan Democratic Force, known by its Spanish name, during 23 and wounding at least 35 others.
"FDN commander Mike Lima entered Nicaragua with 600 men in two columns in attempts to steal medicines, food and ammunition, where they were met by troops of the Pomares Battalion in the hills 5 miles from the town of
Wiwii, in Jinomea province" lt L. Jauan Francisco Yindell, the battalion
He said 12 Sandinista troops were wounded in the first clash but gave no casualty report for the second fight.
In El Salvador's Usulitian province, government troops spotted guerrilla camps around the teams of Villa El Niño in Nicaragua. The Nicaraguan and Jucapa, military officials said.
On Friday, the battalion fought the CIA-financed rebels at Quaili, some 18 miles to the west in Nueva Segovia and was attacked by settlers in the mountains, Vindell said.
Leftist guerrillas were camped along the Lempa River north of the 15 de septiembre dam, 43 miles east of San Salvador, the officials said.
the nyteleocelic dam, inaugurated last Sept. 15, was slightly damaged in a Dec. 31 guerrilla mortar attack just before rebels with explosives destroyed the nearby Cuscatan Bridge on the Pan American Highway.
Col. Julio Cesar Yanez, commander of Usulitan province, said that two soldiers died and eight were wounded in a battle with rebels south of the dam.
