Ban Keo Hill
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.

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.
