Nguyễn Ngọc Phúc Long Thanh Phúc Lê Thanh Ngân “Hanoi - Dien Bien Phu in the air” victory a Introduction “Dien Bien Phu in the air”, or Operation Linebacker II as the US Air Force called it, was the most terrible air bombardment in world history Professor Vladimir Buyanov, Chairman of the Russia – Vietnam Friendship Association, has stressed that the ‘Hanoi – Dien Bien Phu in the air’ victory is a glorious event in the history of the Vietnamese military The victory forced the U.S government to sign the Paris Peace Accords, ending the war, restoring peace in Vietnam Furthermore, it affirmed the strategy of General Vo Nguyen Giap, the Commander-in-Chief and the big brother of the Vietnam People’s Army (VPA), in directing the construction of the entire people’s air defense posture - a new development in Vietnam’s unique people’s warfare At the end of 1972, when negotiations reached a deadlock and in the face of increasing public opinion against the war in the country, the US decided to carry out the Dien Bien Phu aerial campaign - Linebacker II - to subdue Vietnam An opponent with an iron will, despite being overwhelmed by the balance of forces and weapons, still stubbornly resisted, and defeated all strategies and combat technologies of the world's most formidable war machine According to data obtained by CNN, the Dien Bien Phu Air Campaign - Linebacker II, starting on December 18, 1972 (December 17, 1972 Washington D.C time), mobilized more than 200 B-52 aircraft with about 730 sorties, spraying tens of thousands of tons of bombs on Hanoi, Hai Phong and many northern provinces in 12 days and nights at the end of December 1972 US data also estimates that about 1,600 Vietnamese civilians died during 12 fierce days and nights The US Air Force also suffered losses that until now cannot be fully measured Dozens of B-52s, which were the pride of the US Air Force, were shot down and with them dozens of pilots died Worse, although American and world historians still debate the influence and impact of this campaign on the outcome of the war, the majority of the public believes that many American pilots were killed in vain Half a century has passed, but the memories of the American pilots of that day are still as horrifying as if they were yesterday when recalling the sorties into the "fire net" of Vietnam's air defense in 1972 b Making preparation for fighting against B-52 stratofortress From the beginning of 1965, in addition to mobilizing troops to the southern theater of Vietnam, the U.S also deployed B-52 bombers from an air force base in the Pacific with the aim of destroying the North of Vietnam At the same time, the foreign invaders also disseminated information about the power of B-52s to threaten the Vietnamese people Previously, President Ho Chi Minh had forecast, “Sooner or later, the U.S will mobilize B-52s to destroy Hanoi In Vietnam, the U.S will definitely lose, but only when they lose in the air of Hanoi.” As Secretary of the CMC and Defense Minister, Document continues below Discover more from: English E27082004 Trường Đại học… 411 documents Go to course 100 từ bất quy tắc thông dụng PDF

1966, the General ordered the VPA’s General Staff to send Missile Regiment 238, Division 363 of the ADAF to Vinh Linh district in Quang Tri province The regiment was tasked with working with radars, electronic reconnaissance systems, and air force troops to study the features and operations of the B-52 At a meeting in September 1971, the Politburo and CMC agreed that in 1972, the enemy would withdraw its troops if they reached their target, otherwise, they would conduct airstrikes in North Vietnam, so we should be ready in any circumstances After the meeting, General Vo Nguyen Giap noted that B-52s might attack Hanoi in addition to the South The ADAF was requested to study the Stratofortress Meanwhile, radar, missile, and air force troops also took part in the training programs as scheduled Furthermore, several mobile sites were secretly built, and Hanoian militiamen and some cities were equipped with anti-aircraft firepower In June 1972, under the direction of General Vo Nguyen Giap, a conference was held to discuss measures to fight against the B-52 Delegates at the event pointed out the shortcomings of the aircraft and mapped out solutions to destroy them A document titled “How to Defeat a B-52” was finalized in October 1972, becoming a manual for air defense troops During the period, the Department of Intelligence, the ADAF, and functional organs were tasked with exploiting information related to the B-52, and studying and developing weapons and equipment to counter the bombers The General also requested the troops to forecast the main attack directions of the enemy During the 12 day and night campaign in Hanoi, almost all of the enemy aircraft took advantage of the terrain to fly Northwest as forecast Therefore, the VPA’s General Staff and ADAF sent troops to these scenes to successfully destroy B-52s in the Northwest, Southwest, and South of Hanoi, where the air force used MiG-21 fighters At the same time, the people’s air defense and radar systems were widely deployed to restrict B-52s This was a unique and innovative feature in the fight against B-52s in the Air Defense Campaign 1972 On October 20, 1972, General Vo Nguyen Giap worked with the ADAF to map out operational orientations of the air defense campaign against B-52s to protect Hanoi He noted that we should be ready and make thorough preparations to defeat the enemy’s plot to invade the North On November 25, 1972, in the directive “Strengthening Combat Readiness,” on behalf of the CMC, General Vo Nguyen Giap underscored, “In the near future, the enemy can severely bombard targets outside the latitude 20 They can use B-52s to attack key points in Hanoi and Hai Phong ” c Defeating U.S stratofortress Defeating the US’s strategic air raids During the 12 days and

agreement on ending the war and restoring peace in Vietnam d The meaning of the campaign “HaNoi - Dien Bien Phu in the air” victory The meaning of the victory in the campaign "Hanoi - Dien Bien Phu in the air" can be understood in several ways: The triumph of "Dien Bien Phu in the Air" proves the Communist Party of Vietnam's proper political and military rules, as well as the fact that "nothing is more precious than independence and freedom." It was the victory of the entire nation's political power and spirit, with the desire to fight, the bravery to battle, and the determination to beat the American invaders That is the People's Air Defense posture's success in terms of war strategy and the art of arranging the use of force Symbolic significance: The victory in this campaign was seen as a significant achievement for the North Vietnamese forces It demonstrated their ability to effectively challenge and confront the technologically superior American air power It boosted the morale of the North Vietnamese troops and the Vietnamese people, giving them hope and confidence in their ability to resist and ultimately achieve their goals Strategic importance: The victory in this campaign had a significant impact on the overall course of the war It forced the United States to reconsider its military strategy and approach to the conflict The heavy losses suffered by the American and South Vietnamese forces led to a shift towards a policy of deescalation and eventually paved the way for the Paris Peace Accords in 1973, which ended direct American involvement in the war International implications: The victory in the campaign "Hanoi - Dien Bien Phu in the air" attracted international attention and had diplomatic implications It demonstrated the resilience and determination of the North Vietnamese forces, gaining them support and sympathy from other countries This victory, along with other factors, contributed to the growing anti-war sentiment worldwide 10 and put pressure on the United States to seek a peaceful resolution to the conflict The victory of "Hanoi - Dien Bien Phu in the air" demonstrated the relevance of Marxism-Leninism in war and revolution, as well as the importance of Ho Chi Minh's military theory These are opinions and thoughts regarding the origin, character, and qualities of war, about constructing a new-style working-class army, constructing an all-people national defense, and fighting a people's war to safeguard the country and the revolution's accomplishments The triumph also left many vital lessons for the contemporary cause of constructing and defending our country General Vo Nguyen Giap a Introduction He was born on August 25, 1911 in the village of An Xa, Le Thuy District, Quang Binh Province in the year of Tan Hoi, when the Tan Hoi Revolution broke out in China As a poor little boy of the country with “west wind, white sand”, he went to school, grew up, joined the revolutionary movement, and became an outstanding general of the Vietnamese Revolution His life and career has been closely linked to the history of formation, growth and development of the Vietnam People’s Army He was an excellent and close disciple of late President Ho Chi Minh, and a close comrade-in-arms of the leaders of the Party and State of Vietnam Expelled from the College for his participation in the April 1927 school walkout, he taught himself, wrote articles for the paper “Tieng dan” (People’s Voice) edited by the patriot Huynh Thuc Khang and joined the “Tan Viet” (New Vietnam) Party In 1930, he was arrested and indicted, then put under house arrest at his home village He went to Hanoi , learning and working for his own living, passed the exams as First Laureate in the All-Indochina general examinations, held exclusively for excellent students, then graduated as a Baccalaureate in Philosophy and Bachelor of Laws with an excellent thesis Giap worked as a teacher and a journalist while embarking on revolutionary activity During time off from teaching at Thang Long Schoool, he wrote articles for the newspapers “Lao Dong” (Labour), “Tin Tuc” (News), “Tieng Noi Cua Chung Ta” (Our Voice), both in Vietnamese and French During this period, he co-operated with Truong Chinh in writing the book titled “Van De Dan Cay” (The question of the tiller) under the pen-names of “Qua Ninh” and “Van Dinh” In the Indochina Congress Movement, he was elected Chairman of the Tonkin Press Committee The important turning point that brought him to the post of a general commanding a people’s army was the foundation on December 22, 1944, of the “Viet Nam Tuyen 11 Truyen Giai Phong Quan” (Vietnam Propaganda Liberation Army) in Tran Hung Dao Jungle of Nguyen Binh District – Cao Bang Province, the predecessor to the Vietnam People’ Army of today b His illustrious battles As the first General and Supreme Commander of the People's Army of Vietnam, General Vo Nguyen Giap played a pivotal role in both the First Indochina War (1946– 1954) and the Vietnam War (1960–1975) He directly commanded and led numerous crucial campaigns, including the Border Campaign of 1950, the Battle of Dien Bien Phu (1954), the Tet Offensive (1968), the Spring-Summer Campaign of 1972, and the Ho Chi Minh Campaign b.1 Border Campaign of 1950 In this campaign, General Vo Nguyen Giap served as the chief commander and political commissar Under his leadership, 29,500 soldiers defeated 10 African battalions, French battalion, and Vietnamese battalions, destroying the French fortifications built after 1947 to encircle Viet Bac The campaign opened up the Vietnam-China border (from Cao Bang to Dinh Lap), expanding controlled territories to 4,000 km2 with a population of 350,000 Following this operation, the Vietnamese forces completely broke the siege, establishing mobile groups of strong divisions and launching several major offensives far from the Viet Bac base, gaining strategic initiative from the French This campaign marked the first proactive attack by the People's Army of Vietnam, altering the battlefield landscape and shifting strategic initiative to the Northern front of North Vietnam The French suffered significant military and political losses, being pushed into a passive defensive position This campaign was a significant cornerstone, representing a turning point in the resistance against French colonialism b.2 Dien Bien Phu Campaign of 1954 This campaign catapulted General Vo Nguyen Giap to international fame and demonstrated the success of his guerrilla warfare tactics He shifted the military strategy from "fast and decisive" to "slow but sure" and achieved success After 56 days and nights of exceptionally courageous fighting, the historic Dien Bien Phu battle concluded in a complete victory The Vietnamese forces killed and captured 16,200 enemies, shot down and destroyed 62 aircraft, and captured the entire enemy garrison, including General De Castries Nearly ten thousand enemy soldiers fled the bunkers seeking surrender This victory marked the end of the 9-year resistance against French invasion, inscribed in history alongside battles like Bach Dang, Chi Lang, and Dong Da in the 20th century, and it entered the world's history as a brilliant achievement, a breakthrough against the fortresses of the colonial imperialist system (as stated by the late General Secretary Le Duan) 12 b.3 Ho Chi Minh Campaign The Ho Chi Minh Campaign, the final campaign of the People's Army of Vietnam during the 1975 Spring Offensive and Uprising, also marked the end of the Vietnam War This victory completely ended the division between North and South Vietnam after 21 years, leading to the unification of society, political systems, population, and the integrity of Vietnam's territory on land, sea, air, and certain islands In this campaign, General Vo Nguyen Giap, in his role as the commander, chose the principle of attacking weaknesses while avoiding strengths Instead of directly targeting the "brain" of the enemy in Saigon, the primary objective of this campaign was Buon Me Thuot His strategic plan was to establish a large-scale strategic battlefield formation, deploying troops to encircle the enemy on both ends of the North-South frontlines (Saigon and Hue-Da Nang), breaking through in the Central Highlands, and eventually liberating Saigon The victory in the Ho Chi Minh Campaign paved the way for a swift and continuous series of victories, starting with the liberation of Da Nang Seizing the opportune moment, on March 29, 1975, the Politburo and the Central Military Commission decided to liberate the South before the 1975 rainy season This decision was highly insightful, embodying the revolutionary military ideology of Ho Chi Minh: "Hit the Americans until they run, hit the puppet troops until they surrender." Capitalizing on that opportune moment, General Vo Nguyen Giap ordered the units rushing to the battlefield: "Move swiftly, even swifter Be bold, even bolder Seize every hour and every minute to rush to the Southern liberation front Fight decisively and achieve complete victory." c Special things about the general c.1 One of the 10 greatest generals in the world:  According to the announcement of the British Royal Science Council, he was honored to be ranked as one of the 10 greatest generals in the world, a master of guerrilla warfare with extremely sharp tactics The glorious victory of Dien Bien Phu in the air, destroying the French "impregnable fortress" partly demonstrated the talent of a general like him  In addition, he is also consideredOne of the world's top 21 famous generals of the past 25 centuries in the book "Famous Generals" – Duncan Townson c.2 The only general who completely defeated the Japanese empire, the French, American and Chinese armies:  It is no exaggeration to say that General Vo Nguyen Giap is a military genius of Vietnam in general and the world in particular He is the first and only general 13 to completely defeat all four countries with extremely powerful military potential at present: Japan, France, America and China c.3 Youngest General in Vietnam:  In 1948, President Ho Chi Minh signed a decree conferring the military rank of General on Vo Nguyen Giap, who was 37 years old at that time He is the youngest general in Vietnam ever to be awarded the title c.4 Formerly a History teacher:  Before becoming a talented general of the nation, Vo Nguyen Giap was a history teacher who imparted knowledge and patriotic enthusiasm to many generations of students His lessons have evoked the spirit of fighting for national independence and the pride of red-blooded and yellow-skinned Vietnamese in many people Commenting on him, many people said that General Vo Nguyen Giap always had friendliness and warmth This integrity and virtue may be due to his background as a history teacher c.5 The first General of the Vietnam People's Army  With his military talent, General Vo Nguyen Giap made an important contribution to every victory of the Vietnamese army and people On December 22, 1944, the Vietnam Liberation Army Propaganda Team was officially established -
