France 1992 Pierre. Skyndover's classic war masterpiece, which looks at the famous Battle of Dien bien Phu from the perspective of an American war reporter, is quite enlightening. The defeat of the strong by the weak is regarded as a "military miracle" through the ages. Dien bien Phu is located in northern Vietnam close to Shangliao. In early 1954, there were more than 20,000 French troops assembled in Dien bien Phu. In addition to infantry and paratroopers, there were two 105 howitzer battalions and one 155 pomegranate artillery battalion. The French transported goods by airdrop, making it the "Verdun of Southeast Asia", which was the largest controlled area and the most important military stronghold in Vietnam at that time. On March 13, 1954, the Vietnamese people's Army attacked Dien bien Phu with five times the strength of the French, and the fierce offensive and defensive battle between Vietnam and France ended on May 7. The Vietnamese people's Army achieved brilliant results in the Battle of Dien bien Phu, killing more than 5000 French troops, capturing more than 11,000 people, destroying 62 aircraft of various types, 4 tanks, and seizing 30 heavy artillery and 6 tanks, which eventually forced the French to surrender and withdraw from Vietnam.
