Cannon road
The artillery track relic is located in Na Nhan commune, Dien Bien district, Dien Bien province, located along Highway 279 on the right bank of Nam Rom river in the direction from Tuan Giao to Dien Bien. This place marked the change in the combat motto of the Front Command from "fight quickly, win quickly" to the motto "fight firmly and advance firmly". And this is also a historical place imprinted with sacrifices, difficulties and hardships as well as solidarity and synergy during the preparation of the campaign, the spirit of determination to overcome all challenges and hardships to win. On January 14, 1954, at the Campaign Command Headquarters in Tham Pua Cave, Km 15, Tuan Giao - Dien Bien Street, the Party Committee and the Campaign Command met to discuss a plan to destroy the Dien Bien Phu stronghold group. The Politburo's strategic determination at the meeting was to concentrate forces to destroy all enemy troops in Dien Bien Phu according to the principle of "sure victory". The artillery towing command was established with comrade Le Trong Tan as commander and let each type of gun be tested to learn from experience and decided to use a truck to tow the artillery at kilometer 9 near Na Nhan village and stop cutting. The artillery got out of the vehicle and used human power to pull dozens of 3-ton artillery pieces into battlefields over a distance of 15km. The artillery road is 3m wide, running from the mouth of Na Nhan forest through the 1150m high Pu Pha Song peak, equivalent to a 40 - 60 degree slope down to Ban Tau, Dien Bien Phu - Lai Chau road to Nghiu village. To ensure secrecy, the artillery path must be completely camouflaged to prevent detection by reconnaissance aircraft. The estimated road construction time was one day and one night. The soldiers of the 308th Army, a company of mountain artillery, and an engineering battalion of more than 5,000 people successfully completed the road to pull the artillery in 20 hours. The next thing is to put howitzers and anti-aircraft guns into the battlefield position to fire. The mission was given to Group 351 and Group 312, expected to be completed in 3 nights. But after 7 arduous days and nights, our artillery still did not reach all the battlefields compared to the original plan, so the planned shooting time of January 20, 1954 had to be postponed for 5 days, i.e. January 25, 1954. At this time, our Command Post moved from Tham Pua cave to Huoi He cave, Na Tau village. Here, after considering the many changes in the enemy's situation, in order to ensure "a sure victory", General Vo Nguyen Giap quickly changed the battle plan from "quick attack, quick victory" to "sure victory, sure advance." ”, ordered the artillery to be pulled out of the battlefield, retreated to the gathering place, and re-prepared. Pulling artillery into the battlefield is difficult and difficult, pulling artillery out is even more difficult. Our artillery path has now been exposed, the road is slippery, enemy planes are searching day and night to bomb. On open roads, artillery transfer must be carried out at night. At night, on the roads pulling artillery, the soldiers' backs were drenched in sweat, their eyes were dark from lack of sleep, their hands were tightly clinging to the winch rope, their feet were as if they were stuck to the ground, gritting their teeth to hold the artillery. Also in this situation, the song "Ho pulled up artillery" by musician Hoang Van was born. The song immediately became widely popular among front office units, taking to the streets to sing artillery to serve the soldiers. . Up to now, the comedy song "Ho pulling the firecrackers" has become an immortal epic about one of the heroic historical periods of our nation. After 11 arduous days and nights, all of our artillery was gathered to a safe area. In 2004, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the historic victory of Dien Bien Phu, our Party and State provided funding to build, restore and embellish the road to pull artillery by hand.

The French colonialists chose to build a defense system here located on 3 hills at a height of nearly 500m with 3 bases in the form of a tripod, supporting each other, with a solid defensive position and lots of powerful firepower. There is also a system of secondary fortifications made of dense barbed wire fences, in addition to being equipped with guns with infrared rays to detect targets at night, tanks, artillery, and air force.

Before we opened fire, all doubts about the defensive capabilities of the Dien Bien Phu stronghold group were extinguished. The French colonialists completely knew in advance the time and plan to attack the Him Lam resistance center of the Vietnam People's Army and had the most optimal preparations. French artillery was also ready and waiting for the opportunity to extinguish any movements that could cause aggression against the base group. But the element of surprise is something they cannot predict. The presence of our heavy artillery on the hillsides surrounding the basin and the construction of perfect camouflaged battlefields brought an unbelievable surprise to the French, for which they had to pay the price with a near collapse. almost completely of the Him Lam stronghold cluster right in the first hours of the campaign. Also in this battle, we witnessed the heroic sacrifice of Mr. Phan Dinh Giot, who used his body to cover the enemy's fire points, creating an opportunity for his comrades to advance and occupy the remaining positions. Along with Be Van Dan, To Vinh Dien and Tran Can, these four heroes stand out for the spirit of "Determining to die for the country and deciding to live" and become examples and immortal names in history books, associated with the war. later won Dien Bien Phu. The rapid fall of the Him Lam Resistance Center caused deep mental panic to not only the soldiers but also high-ranking figures of the Dien Bien Phu stronghold group. Immediately after Him Lam, Doc Lap and Ban Keo were also quickly destroyed and forced to surrender; We have opened the northern and northeastern gates of the Dien Bien Phu stronghold group, continuing to take the next steps towards another important goal, the center of Muong Thanh, gradually destroying the extremely strong stronghold group.

Because the terrain of Dien Bien Phu is a wide basin, surrounded by high mountains, in the central battlefield there is the Nam Rom river flowing through dividing the central area into left and right banks, so the Communication from the central command post with the base groups on the eastern and northeastern hills encountered many difficulties. To solve those difficulties, the French army built Muong Thanh bridge across Nam Rom river. Muong Thanh iron bridge is a pre-made bridge that was shipped from France and assembled in Dien Bien. The entire bridge is 40 m long and 5 m wide. On both sides of the bridge are simple supporting iron bars, without a middle shaft. The bridge floor is paved with wood, and underneath are iron beams that are very firmly linked together to ensure a load of 8-15 tons. To protect this vital bridge, the French arranged bases 509, 508 and 507 on the eastern bridgehead, while on the western bridgehead they arranged a 4-barrel machine gun nest to prevent the enemy from attacking beyond. Cross the bridge to attack the central command post. With such a force arrangement, General De Cat hoped to maintain the bridge and maintain the gateway for reinforcements to the eastern and northeastern peak clusters of the Dien Bien Phu stronghold group. When war has not yet occurred, Muong Thanh bridge is a transport route for raw materials, ammunition, and barbed wire to serve the construction of defensive bases in the East and the Northern subdivision. During the general attack to destroy all the eastern heights at 4:00 a.m. on May 7, 1954, our troops destroyed the entire A1 base. At 2:00 p.m., Regiment 209, Division 312 launched an attack.

From the east, Regiment 209 advanced straight into the central area of Muong Thanh with Regiment 98 and Regiment 174 close to the central area. In the west, the 36th Regiment entered the last strongholds covering the enemy's headquarters. The 88th Regiment opened the way through the airport and straight into Gono's last lair. Wherever our troops fought, the enemy's white flag appeared, many enemy groups from bases and trenches flocked out to surrender their weapons. At exactly 5:30 p.m. on May 7, 1954, our army's Decisive War - Determined Victory flag fluttered on the roof of General De Cat's bunker, successfully ending the historic Dien Bien Phu campaign. This was the biggest victory in the long resistance war against the French colonialists and American interventionists, and also the most famous victory in the history of the Vietnamese people against foreign invaders.
