### Vietnam

[France](/wiki/France "France") and the [State of Vietnam](/wiki/State_of_Vietnam "State of Vietnam") used M2A1 howitzers during the [First Indochina War](/wiki/First_Indochina_War "First Indochina War"), as did the [Viet Minh](/wiki/Viet_Minh "Viet Minh") guerilla forces they fought against, who were supplied with at least 24 by the [People's Republic of China](/wiki/People%27s_Republic_of_China "People's Republic of China"), along with other captured American artillery pieces and mortars formerly operated by both Nationalist Chinese forces (the [Kuomintang](/wiki/Kuomintang "Kuomintang") military) and US troops [fighting in Korea](/wiki/Korean_War "Korean War"). Today upgraded M2A1 howitzers (some of which have been mounted on trucks and employed as self\-propelled artillery) are still being used by the [People's Army of Vietnam](/wiki/People%27s_Army_of_Vietnam "People's Army of Vietnam") (the PAVN).


Are there any examples of successful military strategies employed by the Viet Minh?
