THE FIGHTS TO PROTECT THE TRABONG REVOLUTIONARY BASE IN THE ANTI –AMERICAN WAR (1959-1965)

Abstract

During the anti-American war, Tra Bong was an early-formed revolutionary base in the mountainous area of Quang Ngai Province. In order to successfully  protect this base, especially in the 1959-1965 period when the US Army and the South Vietnam Army intensified their fierce attacks in  this area, the Communist Party Committee, the army and the people of Tra Bong actively developed armed forces, organized resilient fights and broke many large-scale raids launched by the enemy. The fight to protect Tra Bong base proved that the plausible strategy of people’s war chosen by the Communist Party of Vietnam was applied creatively, flexibly in the revolutionary base in the mountainous areas.
