The Granma daily, the newspaper of the Communist Party of Cuba, on May 7 ran an article about the contributions of pack-bikes to the Dien Bien Phu Victory on the 70th anniversary of the victory (May 7, 1954-2024). In the article ‘Dien Bien Phu: la batalla en bicicleta’ (Dien Bien Phu: The battle on bikes), its author Delfín Xiqués Cutiño affirmed that the Dien Bien Phu Victory was a brilliant milestone in the heroic history of the Vietnamese people. Two miracles that demonstrate the characteristics of the people’s war in the Dien Bien Phu campaign are the pack-bikes and manual cannon hauling to the front. The entire Vietnamese people joined the soldiers in one of the most important missions of the Dien Bien Phu campaign: supplying the front lines.
