After nearly two months of continuous combat, with high determination, flexible and innovative application of the art of counteroffensive warfare, and leveraging the unified strength of combined arms, we “fought brilliantly, won spectacularly, and achieved outstanding results.” This led to the failure of the enemy’s plan to expand beyond their outer defensive perimeter, resulting in the elimination of a significant enemy force, the destruction of numerous war vehicles, and the complete collapse of the “Saigon military main force plus maximum U.S. firepower support” formula - the backbone of the “Vietnamisation” strategy. The success of the operation marked a milestone in the development of our art of large-scale combined arms warfare tactics, with the art of using artillery prominently featured.
