45 years ago, Operation Linebacker II, otherwise known as the "Christmas Bombings", was defeated by Vietnamese soldiers, forcing the US to sign the Paris Peace Accords to end the war and restore peace to Vietnam. Vietnamese people called this the "Dien Bien Phu in the air campaign".
A conference entitled "Dien Bien Phu in the air victory: a showcase of Vietnamese wisdom and force on ground-to-air battlefield" was held in Hanoi on Thursday to reaffirm the importance of this event.
With just anti-aircraft guns and missiles, Vietnamese soldiers were able to defeat the US B52 aircraft team, which was dubbed the "inviolable flying fortress." "Dien Bien Phu the Air" not only enriches our military theories but also has helps in protecting the country for any future situations.
