Details

The Battle of Vinh Yen, which occurred from 13 January to 17 January 1951, was a major engagement in the First Indochina War between the French Union and the Viet Minh. The French Union forces, led by World War II hero Jean de Lattre de Tassigny, inflicted a decisive defeat on the Viet Minh forces, which were commanded by Vo Nguyen Giap. The victory marked a turn in the tide of the war, which was previously characterized by a number of Viet Minh victories. By October 1950, the Viet Minh had seized the initiative from the French. Operating from bases in the People's Republic of China, Viet Minh troops under Giap constantly raided French outposts along Route Coloniale 4. At the end of the attacks on October 17, the French had lost 6,000 troops, stunning the French government into action: the high commissioner for Indochina, Leon Pignon, and the commander-in-chief of the French Expeditionary Corps, General Georges Carpentier, were both recalled. Paris replaced them with General Jean de Lattre de Tassigny, widely considered one of the greatest French commanders after his spectacular leadership of the French First Army in World War II.
