In Indochina, the French army became increasingly bogged down in the war and fell into a passive defensive position. To save the situation, the French Government created the Rêve plan to blockade the border, use puppet troops for occupation, and concentrate European and African troops into a mobile force to carry out the policy of "using the Vietnamese to fight". Vietnamese people", "using war to feed war". In Cao Bang, France focused on strengthening the system of military bases and posts on Highway No. 4 from Cao Bang town to Dong Khe, That Khe, Na Sam, Lang Son; in which Dong Khe is an important sub-region, the shield of Cao Bang.

The victory of the Border Campaign changed the war situation between us and France, creating a new change in attack and counter-attack strategies, contributing to bringing the resistance war to victory, culminating in the campaign. Dien Bien Phu in 1954. When looking back at France's failure in the Indochina war, former Governor General of Indochina Catoru bitterly confirmed: "The failure of the French army at the Vietnam-China border in October/ 1950 had a decisive influence on the fate of Indochina and Dien Bien Phu later suffered from that influence. The victory of the Border victory in 1950 proved the correctness of the "all-people, comprehensive, long-term, relying on one's own strength" war policy proposed by the Party and President Ho Chi Minh. The lessons of promoting internal strength, building resistance forces, and building the army to achieve victory in the 1950 Border Campaign still remain valuable in the current work of building and protecting the homeland.
