Chinese, Vietnamese head for fight at eastern border
BANGKOK, Thailand (AP)—Chinese troops captured the big town of Lai Cao on the northwestern end of the Vietnamese border yesterday, but the Vietnamese officials were reported advancing for a showdown at Lang Son at the eastern end of the frontier.
Japan's Kyodo news service in Peking quoted the Chinese news agency Hainan as saying Vietnamese forces shelled the two Chinese border towns of Pinghia and Xiangxi, causing heavy damage to a heavily damaging part of a railway and a hall built for Sino-Vietnam friendship.
A correspondent for the Japanese newspaper Asahi Shibun reported from Lang Son, 12 miles from the Chinese border to Vietnam. He said they were bracing for a major battle in that area.
"Several thousand men of regular and regional units with heavy arms are advancing toward Chinese positions," the correspondent, Kazuhisa Ikawa, reported.
"Trucks are hauling 105-millimeter guns from Dong Mo, 60 kilometers, 37 miles from the border."
The account said the main road to the frontier was jammed with vehicles carrying troops, weapons, ammunition and fuel, while refugees moved in the opposite direction.
"Vietnamese 130-millimeter artillery, positioned south of here Lang Son is firing toward China," the report said.
"Antiaircraft batteries also have been set up."
The Japanese correspondent said only military personnel, security men, government officials and a few civilians were seen outside the house because other residents had been evacuated.
He reported that Vietnam officials said the number of people left was between 12,000
and 13,000 out of a normal population of 46,000.
The Soviet Union, Vietnam's ally, has armed the troops to get out of Vietnam "like a bomb." The United States is not
President Carter, in a foreign policy address in Atlanta, said yesterday that the United States had "consulted directly with the world" about the Vietnam situation.
He was believed to be referring to contacts with Soviet President Leonid I. Brezhnev and China's Vice Premier Teng Hsia-ping, presumably made in an effort to head off a confrontation between the two communist powers.
In New York, U.N. officials continued to consult representatives of the 15 nations on the Security Council about a possible council meeting to deal with the conflict. Such a meeting was not expected until today at the earliest.
