“Nổi dậy” trong Mậu Thân 1968 ở Vĩnh Long

Abstract

During the 1968 Tet Offensive in Vinh Long, while the revolutionary armed forces' attacks acted as the "steel fists" against the enemy's central government, the uprising movement of the Vinh Long people served as the cornerstone of strength, providing vital support for the military assaults. The close coordination between attacks and uprisings, between military struggle and political struggle, combined with fighting in both urban and rural areas, guerrilla warfare, and concentrated regular warfare, created a comprehensive strength. This compounded strength allowed the revolutionary forces to occupy Vinh Long Town for six days and nights, take full control of the My Thuan ferry terminal on the western bank, control traffic on National Route 4 from Ba Cang to Phu Quoi, connecting with Can Tho for 22 continuous days and nights, dismantle numerous enemy outposts in rural and suburban areas, push back the enemy's pacification program, and forming a firm interconnected position. Villages connected to villages, districts to districts, isolating many key military zones, liberating and taking control of many rural areas throughout the province.
