With a large force and modern equipment, this base blocks the route from the west of Que Son to the plain, causing many difficulties for our troops and people. To break this defense line, Military Region V Command decided to open the Ban Bat campaign. After a period of preparation and careful study of the terrain, our army coordinated with the main force, local troops, artillery, infantry and special forces, simultaneously attacking from August 17, 1972. At dawn on August 18, important defensive posts were captured and the enemy's defense line was divided. Hundreds of artillery shells continuously fired at the base, destroying many gas depots, ammunition depots, motor vehicles and enemy artillery positions. After two days and nights of fierce fighting, at 3:00 p.m. on August 19, 1972, our army's victory flag flew over Cam Doi command post and Que Son district capital. The Cam Bat victory marked the maturity of our army and people in their ability to capture fortified defense bases, contributing to the failure of America's "Vietnamization of the war" strategy. Today, on the top of Cam Doi hill there is a victory monument, depicting the image of a liberation soldier and a female guerrilla raising a baby high together, symbolizing faith in peace and the country's future.
