+ Northern Sector: Comprising the strongholds Him Lam, Doc Lap, and Ban Kheo, guarding the northern front.

+ Central Sector: The command center of the enemy, housing their headquarters and the Mường Thanh airfield.

+ Southern Sector: Located in the southern part of Dien Bien Phu, with artillery positions and the Hong Cum airfield.

- The enemy's forces at Dien Bien Phu included 16,200 personnel from various branches, equipped with modern warfare technology.
