Unknown to Trong, scouts had reported increased American activity
to the southeast of the camp, which possibly meant the Americans
were moving into the area. Every precaution had been taken to
ensure that the camp was not taken by surprise. Patrols were sent
out daily. Observation posts were placed well forward of the camp,
and fi ghting positions around the camp were manned at all times.
Trong checked his equipment one more time as he waited for the
Americans. He slid the bolt back on his Soviet made AK-47 making
sure that a round was chambered. Next, he checked the green plastic
American-made detonator, which was attached to the Chinese claymore
mine located thirty meters from his position. He thought himself
ready and tried to fi ght the panic that assailed his mind. He
thought of what his section leader had told him. "Wait, until the
Americans were close to the mine before detonating it. Then use
your rifl e to kill any of the Americans that are left alive."
