Đấu tranh bảo vệ căn cứ địa cách mạng ở Trung Trung Bộ trong kháng chiến chống Mỹ (1961-1965)

Abstract

The revolutionary military bases in the coastal provinces of the Mid-Central Region were established under the Party’s policy in order to deal with increasing terrorist campaigns launched by the US-supported government of Ngo Dinh Diem against revolutionary cadres in South of Vietnam after the 1954 Geneva Agreements were signed. These bases built mostly in mountainous, difficult areas include typically Nuoc Oa, Nuoc La, Son-Cam-Ha, West Quang Ngai Province, Nui Ba, and Van Hoa. The enemies (i.e. Republic Vietnam and US Armies) launched intensive military offensives in order to destroy those evolutionary bases. However, the local people and the revolutionary army bravely fought back and defeated the large-scale military operations, successfully protected the headquarters of the resistance war. In fact, the bases’ establishment and resilience significantly contributed to the development of the revolutionary movement in the local region. It also helped the Party develop Vietnam’s revolutionary strategy to defeat that of the US imperialists’ “Attrition War”.
