The main objective for the French was to lure the Viet Minh into open battle and inflict a crushing defeat on them. Giap failed to take the bait and Salan canceled the operation and the French withdraw to the de Lattre line. A detailed account of this operation can be found in Bernard B. Fall's "Street Without Joy".
