Battle Of Cao Bang - Cao Bang, First Indochina War, Gulf of Tonkin, French Foreign Legion

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Battle of Cao B ng was an ongoing campaign in northern Indochina during the First Indochina War, between the French Far East Expeditionary Corps and the Vi t Minh, which began in October 1947 and culminated on September 3, 1949. Since the start of the conflict, Vi t Minh troops had ambushed French convoys along the Vietnam China border from the Gulf of Tonkin on a 147-mile route to a French garrison at Cao B ng, known as Route Colonial 4, or RC4. Repeated ambushes led to repeated French operations of increasing strength to reopen the road, including a costly mission by the Foreign Legion in February 1948. On July 25, 1948, the Cao B ng encampment was itself attacked and held out for three days with two companies defending against two battalions of Vi t Minh. A further 28 ambushes took place in 1948.
