Re: Question about Corps Expéditionnaire Français en Extrême-Orient, French Indoch
What I mean is the Battle at Vien Yen/Tien Yen was not fought at that date, it was fought at the time I stated. Hence the info is not reliable.
That being said, a first date of 22/12 is not unrealistic, but the first use in mass, and with very measurable effects was at Vien Yen/Tien Yen. There were thousands of burned corpses in front of the French barbed wire.
In any case 12/50 or 1/51 matters not that much. What one wonders is that they waited that long.
