E1 Hill
E1 Hill – Fierce evidence of the Dien Bien Phu Campaign Hill E1 is located in the northeast of Muong Thanh center, Dien Bien Phu city, Dien Bien province. During the Dien Bien Phu Campaign in 1954, this was an important base in the Dominique base cluster of the French army, with the task of protecting Muong Thanh center and Dien Bien airport. After our troops captured E1, this high point was used as an artillery observation post, mountain artillery battlefield and command post to control enemy targets. Due to its strategic location, E1 suffered thousands of artillery, bombs and tank fire from the French army for 36 days and nights. The terrain was plowed and the trees were completely destroyed, causing this place to be called "death hill" by the soldiers. Despite fighting in extremely fierce conditions, our units still stubbornly held the position, maintained the battlefield, contributed to destroying enemy firepower and supported the attacks into the center of the Muong Thanh stronghold group. E1 Hill is a testament to the brave fighting spirit of the Vietnamese army, contributing to the historic victory of the Dien Bien Phu Campaign on May 7, 1954. Today, E1 hill is one of the attractions in the Dien Bien Phu Battlefield Relics Complex, helping tourists and today's generations better understand the fierceness of the battlefield as well as the resilient fighting spirit of the Vietnamese army and people in the "illustrious victory on five continents, shaking the earth".
