Talk:Operation Condor (1954)

press article
''Mais pas n'importe comment. Rebelles et frondeurs, les Hmongs se battent quand ils veulent et comme ils veulent. Agiles et rapides, ils connaissent la jungle comme leur poche. Ils évoluent dans la population comme un poisson dans l'eau, selon le précepte maoïste. Des qualités idéales pour la contre-guérilla que l'état-major français se décide (un peu tard) à organiser, le combat frontal avec le Viêt-minh se révélant inefficace. En 1952, le capitaine Déodat du Puy-Montbrun, aide de camp du général de Lattre, crée le GCMA (Groupe de commandos mixtes aéroportés). Rattaché aux Services spéciaux, le GCMA utilise les méthodes adverses et invente un concept aujourd'hui enseigné dans toutes les académies militaires (notamment à West Point, depuis le conflit en Irak), celui de « guerre révolutionnaire ». Mobilité, camouflage, harcèlement, sabotage : entraînés et commandés par une poignée de Français, les partisans hmongs font des merveilles. Ils ont beau disposer d'un arsenal hétéroclite (arbalètes, mousquetons à pierre avec poire à poudre en corne de buffle, etc.), bouffer de l'opium et croire aux phis (les esprits), les résultats sont là, même s'ils ne feront jamais l'objet d'aucun communiqué militaire ! De 1952 à 1954, les maquis « Malo-Servan-Sangsue », basés au Laos, multiplient les coups de main et sèment la terreur chez le Viêt-minh. Jusqu'à Diên Bien Phu.
