            Ho-Chi-Minh.  Giap  also  knew  he  would  make  the  expecting
            echo regard in the world by continued take the win in the battle,
            and  it  will  prepare  for  Ho-Chi-Minh’s  voice  in  the  cease-fire
            talks.


                The  Vietminh’s  Dong-Xuan  operation  1953-1954,  General
            Vo-Nguyen-Giap  pushed  his  troops  forward  on  the  Red  River
            delta to control the most this area and will threaten some cities
            as Thai-Binh, Ha-Nam, Nam-Dinh, and Ha-Dong. General Giap
            wished  to  make  the  cycle  around  Hanoi  Capital  if  his  troops
            were moving as well as in his plan. He will make French troops
            will get worse on the battle then French leaders will lose their
            voice in the Geneva conference.

                On  another  side,  General  Navarre  opened  the  large-scale
            military actions on the countryside to defense the cities and tried
            to  break  the  Dong-Xuan  operation.  He  used  the  full  power  of
            Air  Force  and  canons  to  support  the  ground  troops,  destroyed
            some villages where Vietminh soldiers tied up with the people
            and used the people as their shield. General Navarre expected he
            would regain the most area that lost into communist hand by the
            fail of the firebases.


                Both sides fought either one as the mad dog for profit, made
            the deadly sounds howling in the air,  blasted heavy thunderbolt
            and shook the earth for the combat.  They broke up more bloody
            for  the  people,  flamed  up  and  disaster  everywhere  in  the
            countryside.  Also,  they  lost  more  thousand  fighting  soldiers
            every  week  and  killed  the  lot  civilians  in  the  countryside  by
            bombardment.

                Most the time French troops were killed, and wounded few
            dozen  soldiers  by  the  Vietminh  sniper  and  mines  during
            operation. They called the Air Force, and canons supported to
            bomb the villages without care of the people, but nothing they
            can find in the destroyed villages. Instead, French troops brought
            up more hate from the people for themselves, made the people
