What was the purpose of the Border Campaign launched in June 1950?
The Border Campaign was launched in June 1950 with the aim of eliminating enemy forces, opening the Vietnam-China border, and creating conditions to develop revolutionary forces in the border areas. This was an important campaign in the resistance against French colonialism.
The objectives of the 1950 Border Campaign were as follows:
1. Elimination of enemy forces:
In the context of French troops and their collaborators controlling border areas and part of northern Vietnam, eliminating military bases, and depleting enemy forces in this area was intended to reduce the military strength of the French and expand the operational range of the Viet Minh army.
2. Opening the Vietnam-China border:
The Vietnam-China border was a crucial route for supplying weapons, food, medicine, and other support from the Soviet Union through China to the Viet Minh army.
Opening the border not only helped establish a strong logistical route but also allowed the Viet Minh army to conduct subsequent attacks on strategic enemy positions in the Northeast and Northwest regions.
3. Creating momentum for subsequent campaigns:
The 1950 Border Campaign was not just an independent military operation but also an important step in the Viet Minh's long-term strategy. The victory of this campaign facilitated the development of our army and prepared for larger campaigns in the following years, especially in the context of the French army facing many difficulties and the enemy forces being weakened.
4. Implementing the strategy of "fighting and building":
The strategy of "fighting and building", meaning simultaneously combating enemy forces and building political bases, consolidating public support, and developing revolutionary organizations in newly liberated areas, aimed to not only maintain stability in the liberated zones but also lay the groundwork for broader revolutionary activities in the future.
