DOC MIEU MILITARY BASE

DOC MIEU MILITARY BASE

Doc Mieu military base is located in Gio Phong commune, Gio Linh district, Quang Tri province. This historical site is quite famous and is considered an "impregnable fortress" during the resistance war against the French colonialists and American imperialists. Located east of National Highway 1A, about 7km south of Hien Luong Bridge, Doc Mieu is a basalt hill located in a terrain area consisting of three zigzag slopes. This is also the defense line built by the US called Namara - the name of a general commanding the US - Puppet army, to prevent all reinforcements from the North and the Southern battlefield. Among them, Doc Mieu military base is the most important base in this line. Here, the enemy built a system of vaulted tunnels and mobile blockhouses made of concrete. Along with that is an artillery battle towards the north bank of the Ben Hai River, a control center to protect the fence, an armored patrol squad, and many American and puppet companies deployed. Surrounding the base are barbed wire fences with 12 layers of 3m high, on top is a fence with automatic mines, under the fence is a dense minefield hundreds of meters wide. In 1972, our army and people simultaneously opened fire, fired DKD grenades, A12 grenades, and rocket launchers, surrounding the Doc Mieu military base. After three consecutive days of attacks, the enemy had to flee on the night of March 31, 1972, leaving behind their posts, associates, and modern electronic fence system. Currently, our government built a victory monument to recognize the soldiers who fought heroically. At the foot are long, straight rubber hills, proof of the vibrant revival of life in this once-torn land. Doc Mieu military base relic has become a historical tourist attraction for tourists to visit every time they come to Quang Tri. This is not only a symbol of our nation's indomitable fighting spirit but also has profound educational significance for the country's future generations. Source: Quang Tri Newspaper
