Route Coloniale 4 (RC4) is a road in
Vietnam, bordering the
Chinese border, from
Hanoi to
Cao Bang[?], famous for a
French military disaster in
1950 in which several units of the French army, including some batallions of the
foreign legion were decimated by the
Viet Minh and essentially ceased to exist as fighting units.
