Ban Keo hill is located in the northwest of the stronghold group. The French colonialists gave Keo village a new name as the Anno Mari resistance center. This base is located next to Keo village - a village of Thai ethnic people, so it is called Keo hill. In Thai, Keo means a small "Thung" at the foot of the mountain. Here there is a large beach near the foot of the mountain (currently soldiers often use it as a training ground). Ban Keo hill is not very high but quite long, shaped like a crescent moon, concave and facing the northern mountains. Along with Doc Lap Hill, Keo village is responsible for protecting Muong Thanh airport, preventing attacks by our troops from the direction of Lai Chau to Dien Bien Phu. Here, the French army arranged a quite solid defensive fortification system. In addition to the fortified battlefield, they also use barbed wire fences surrounding the base. Opening the first attack, on March 13, 1954, we destroyed the Him Lam base. On March 15, 1954, we destroyed Independence base. At this time, Ban Keo base had become isolated, under strong threat from our troops, those reluctant puppet soldiers were in a very tense mood and during the 2 days of the battle, the Thai soldiers witnessed The rapid collapse of the two strongest resistance centers, protected by French European and African units considered to be fierce, saw with their own eyes how soldiers, even when going to the rescue, were beaten to pieces in their vehicles. Bloodied monks from Doc Lap fled to Muong Thanh, and now they had to consider a way out, they saw the strength of the Viet Minh. The Viet Minh had big artillery and a mighty army. The Viet Minh had artillery trucks. Just appearing on the field was a strange event never seen before in the war at Dien Bien Phu. The 36th Regiment of the 308th Infantry was assigned to destroy Keo village. The 36th Regiment realized that it had the ability to solve this stronghold without a battle, so it used a single-army order to call on the Thai soldiers to surrender. On March 16, 1954, at the foot of Ban Keo hill, a large picture-like scene appeared of a group of Thai soldiers leaving their positions with the words: "Return to the Fatherland, with your compatriots, you will received a kind welcome." Although the French commander tried to control him, the Thai soldiers took advantage of the time the French commander went underground to hide, brought out their weapons, and pulled out the line. The French sent tanks to chase the Thai Wei army and artillery. of the Viet Minh fired to cover the above-mentioned soldiers running to safe shelter positions in the forest. Without firing a shot, the 36th Regiment captured Keo village, ending the first attack, opening the northern door to the center of the Dien Bien Phu stronghold.

Independence Hill is a component relic of the Dien Bien Phu Battlefield Special National Monument. Doc Lap Hill has another name: Pu Vang (Victory Hill). Located right at the foot of Pu Vang is Tong Khao field, a sunken field. In the past, the Phe invaders captured all the children in the area and killed them. Children who are still infants are put in a mortar and pounded. Children who are toddlers or older are thrown into this low field and then drained to die. When the field dried up, children's bones were white all over the field, from then on this field was called Tong Khao (local language meaning field of white bones). At Tong Khao field, according to local people, there are also traces of the victory of the insurgent leader Hoang Cong Chat who came from the lowlands to wave the insurrection flag. The leader was assisted by the Thai ethnic people, typically General Ngai and General Khanh, in the fight against Phe enemy general Pha Chau Tin Toong in Tam Van citadel. The insurgents chased the Phe invaders up to the foot of the hill and destroyed all the enemy troops, beheading the enemy general in 1754. During the 1954 Dien Bien Phu campaign, the French Army named this base Gabrielle. Doc Lap is the name given to this base by the People's Army of Vietnam because the hill stands separately in the middle of a flat area in the north of Muong Thanh field. On November 20, 1953, French troops parachuted to occupy Dien Bien Phu and then built Dien Bien Phu into an unprecedented stronghold in Indochina. Gabrielle base, located on Muong Thanh hill, 500m long, 200m wide, is one of the most fortified resistance centers of the Dien Bien Phu base group, in the North division, about 4km from Muong Thanh center. . Doc Lap resistance center, along with two resistance centers Him Lam and Ban Keo, form a powerful outer defense area to the North and Northeast of the stronghold Group Center. As for the Vietnamese Army, during the Dien Bien Phu Campaign, the task of attacking Doc Lap Hill was assigned to the 88th Regiment, 308th Infantry commanded by Regimental Commander Bui Nam Ha and the 165th Regiment, 312th Infantry led by Lieutenant General Bui Nam Ha. Group leader Le Thuy commanded. The two units were reinforced with 4 105mm guns, 4 120mm mortars, 4 75mm mountain guns and were under the command of 308th Company Commander Vuong Thua Vu. Regiment 165 took on the main offensive, breaking through from the East-South direction, attacking along the length of the base. Regiment 88 took charge of the secondary attack to break through from the East-North direction, and at the same time organized a return mission in the West and arranged forces to block reinforcements from Muong Thanh. The victory on Doc Lap base was the second biggest victory after the Him Lam victory, creating a very good spirit for the soldiers of the Vietnamese Army to fight and win in the next battles. The victory at Doc Lap base opened the way to the central Muong Thanh subdivision, the Vietnamese Army destroyed and wiped out the elite Le Duong units of the French army. Currently, Doc Lap Hill Relic is one of 45 component relic sites belonging to the Special National Historical Site of Dien Bien Phu Battlefield.

The artillery track relic is located in Na Nhan commune, Dien Bien district, Dien Bien province, located along Highway 279 on the right bank of Nam Rom river in the direction from Tuan Giao to Dien Bien. This place marked the change in the combat motto of the Front Command from "fight quickly, win quickly" to the motto "fight firmly and advance firmly". And this is also a historical place imprinted with sacrifices, difficulties and hardships as well as solidarity and synergy during the preparation of the campaign, the spirit of determination to overcome all challenges and hardships to win. On January 14, 1954, at the Campaign Command Headquarters in Tham Pua Cave, Km 15, Tuan Giao - Dien Bien Street, the Party Committee and the Campaign Command met to discuss a plan to destroy the Dien Bien Phu stronghold group. The Politburo's strategic determination at the meeting was to concentrate forces to destroy all enemy troops in Dien Bien Phu according to the principle of "sure victory". The artillery towing command was established with comrade Le Trong Tan as commander and let each type of gun be tested to learn from experience and decided to use a truck to tow the artillery at kilometer 9 near Na Nhan village and stop cutting. The artillery got out of the vehicle and used human power to pull dozens of 3-ton artillery pieces into battlefields over a distance of 15km. The artillery road is 3m wide, running from the mouth of Na Nhan forest through the 1150m high Pu Pha Song peak, equivalent to a 40 - 60 degree slope down to Ban Tau, Dien Bien Phu - Lai Chau road to Nghiu village. To ensure secrecy, the artillery path must be completely camouflaged to prevent detection by reconnaissance aircraft. The estimated road construction time was one day and one night. The soldiers of the 308th Army, a company of mountain artillery, and an engineering battalion of more than 5,000 people successfully completed the road to pull the artillery in 20 hours. The next thing is to put howitzers and anti-aircraft guns into the battlefield position to fire. The mission was given to Group 351 and Group 312, expected to be completed in 3 nights. But after 7 arduous days and nights, our artillery still did not reach all the battlefields compared to the original plan, so the planned shooting time of January 20, 1954 had to be postponed for 5 days, i.e. January 25, 1954. At this time, our Command Post moved from Tham Pua cave to Huoi He cave, Na Tau village. Here, after considering the many changes in the enemy's situation, in order to ensure "a sure victory", General Vo Nguyen Giap quickly changed the battle plan from "quick attack, quick victory" to "sure victory, sure advance." ”, ordered the artillery to be pulled out of the battlefield, retreated to the gathering place, and re-prepared. Pulling artillery into the battlefield is difficult and difficult, pulling artillery out is even more difficult. Our artillery path has now been exposed, the road is slippery, enemy planes are searching day and night to bomb. On open roads, artillery transfer must be carried out at night. At night, on the roads pulling artillery, the soldiers' backs were drenched in sweat, their eyes were dark from lack of sleep, their hands were tightly clinging to the winch rope, their feet were as if they were stuck to the ground, gritting their teeth to hold the artillery. Also in this situation, the song "Ho pulled up artillery" by musician Hoang Van was born. The song immediately became widely popular among front office units, taking to the streets to sing artillery to serve the soldiers. . Up to now, the comedy song "Ho pulling the firecrackers" has become an immortal epic about one of the heroic historical periods of our nation. After 11 arduous days and nights, all of our artillery was gathered to a safe area. In 2004, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the historic victory of Dien Bien Phu, our Party and State provided funding to build, restore and embellish the road to pull artillery by hand.

The pagoda is built on a high hill, with luxuriant trees, windy on all four sides, beautiful scenery, quiet, full of solitude, a place of meditation. In the past, this area was called Tieu Dao Mountain, and is commonly called Cam Forest, perhaps that's why the pagoda is famous as Cam Pagoda. According to inscriptions and genealogies, the pagoda has existed for a long time. In the 12th century, the crown prince, son of King Ly Cao Tong, donated more than a hundred acres of fields, two thousand francs of money to repair the pagoda, and 700 francs of merit for a banquet. worship easily.

The military general of the Nguyen family also had the merit of a thousand francs to buy more than a hundred acres of fields to donate to the pagoda for farming. In the 14th century under the reign of King Tran Anh Tong, Bao An Pagoda was given a lot of money to repair and embellish by Princess Hung Nuong. To remember his merits, like many other pagodas in the area, people built a shrine to Princess Hung Nuong in the pagoda. Having gone through the ups and downs of thousands of years of history, Bao An Pagoda is still at the old campus but has had many changes. Ancient architectural buildings such as the front hall, incense burner, upper palace, ancestral house, Hung Nuong princess shrine and mother shrine were demolished due to deterioration. Currently, the pagoda has been renovated and rebuilt on a large scale, with reinforced concrete architecture and tiled roof. The pagoda also preserves valuable relics and antiques such as: Dharma statues, altars, bronze bells, and stone stele. Among them, the most typical is the stone stele "Bao An Zen Tu Bi Bi Ky" (inscription of Bao An Pagoda's stele). Up to now, according to review, survey and statistical data, this is the only Ly Dynasty stele remaining in the province. The stele was engraved in December of the year Tri Binh Long Ung (1209) and re-engraved later, probably at the end of the 18th century, placed at Bao An pagoda. The stele was mentioned and published by many researchers in Ly Tran Poetry (Social Sciences Publishing House, H.1977) and Ly Dynasty Epitaph (VNU Publishing House, H.2010). This is the oldest stele in Vinh Phuc and one of the 18 Ly Dynasty stelae remaining in our country today.

The construction and restoration of pagodas was encouraged, not prohibited, by the royal court and assigned to the mandarins and aristocracy to preside and organize. The construction and restoration of pagodas is also considered an important event in the spiritual life of the people, attracting the whole region and even the whole country to join in the merit.
