[Lu'o'ng Son on Route 6, Indochina]: [SIDE A / H2H] [HIS] [CSL]:
On 13 November 1951, "Operation Lotus" began. While Operation Group Nord advanced on Dan Tea and Ap Da Chong along the Black River, Groupe Mobile 3 planned to move west from Xuan Mai along Route 6 to reinforce Hoa Binh.
In the afternoon of 13 November, Colonel PV gives the command: "Avant ! Bouge-toi ! Bouge-toi !" The "mountaineer" column moves out. The force consisted of the 1er & 2e Bataillons Muong, 1er Chasseurs, and GM3 Bataillon de Genie. By nightfall, it reached Lu'o'ng Son. This was in the Mo Son area of the Hoa Binh Province.
Route 6 was in poor repair where it passed through the dense forest and jungle areas. It had been under control of the Viet Minh, who allowed its deterioration. Local Viet Minh forces in the area were Mo Son Guerillas and the 616 Regional Militia Battalion.
The French GM3 column slowly continued on Route 6 during the night, slogging through rough roads, and fighting off occasional ambushes. They managed to reach Kem Pass in the early morning of 14 November.
