Delegates attending the celebration.
In October 1927, Hoang Hoa district established the Vietnam Revolutionary Youth Association in Cu Da village, Hoang Minh commune (now Hoang Duc commune, Hoang Hoa district). This was the forerunner of the party organization later on and to meet the requirements of the revolutionary movement in the district.
To lead and develop the armed forces, on September 1, 1930, the first Communist Party cell was established. Under the direct leadership of the Party cell, the district's armed forces developed widely as the core, contributing greatly to the resistance movement of the nation and the province. In April 1945, each village and commune established a self-defense platoon, with about 30-40 soldiers, in some places up to 50 soldiers. The fighting spirit of the people in the district rose even higher in the anti-tax movement, reactionary henchmen were all brought out and warned, forcing the village chief to hand over his seal and books to the revolution.
In particular, the battle between the army and people of Hoang Hoa on the morning of July 24, 1945, destroyed and captured 22 security soldiers commanded by Quan Hien in the area of Quang market, Ha Ho to Lien Chau - Hoa Loc. Those victories affirmed that the district's armed forces had clearly matured, contributing significantly to the day of the general uprising in the whole district, taking power into the hands of the people (August 19, 1945).
The Vietnamese Revolution entered a new page in history, under the leadership of the Party Committee and the Viet Minh Front of the district, marking the development of the revolutionary movement. In 1946, the self-defense organizations developed rapidly. In early 1947, the Guard Team was established, initially with only 1,000 militiamen; in May 1948, the force grew to 15,000 members.
In response to the requirements of combat missions, on June 19, 1948, Vice Chairman of the Resistance Committee and Thanh Hoa Provincial Administration Dang Viet Chau signed Resolution No. 17/TH-KC-QN, officially establishing the Hoang Hoa District Military Command, consisting of 3 comrades: Nguyen Trong Khoi as District Team Leader, Trinh Quoc Trung as Deputy District Team Leader, and Nguyen Trong Thuat as Political Commissar. From then on, the Hoang Hoa District Armed Forces had an agency specializing in military missions.
Hoang Hoa district leaders awarded certificates of merit to collectives with outstanding achievements in the peak emulation campaign to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the tradition of the People's Armed Forces.
During the two resistance wars against the French colonialists and the American imperialists as well as during the war to protect the Fatherland and during the period of national construction, the whole district saw off over 67,000 outstanding sons of the homeland to carry out the task of national liberation, protecting the Fatherland and building the country; more than 5,000 comrades left forever, leaving behind their youth and unfinished ambitions; there were 3,827 wounded and sick soldiers; 486 Vietnamese Heroic Mothers, 16 Heroes of the People's Armed Forces.
During the resistance war against the French, the resounding feats of arms of Hoang Hoa must be mentioned, that is the battle to sink a gunboat, kill 1 lieutenant colonel, 2 captains, 8 lieutenants and more than 200 French sailors, destroy all weapons and communication means on the ship. In February 1953, defeating an enemy battalion landing in Hoang Truong and Sam Son, killing 35 soldiers and 1 French officer, destroying all enemy weapons and means, firmly defending every inch of the homeland.
During the resistance war against the US, Hoang Hoa army and people closely coordinated with the main army and air defense forces to fight 9,983 enemy raids, shot down 376 planes, captured 36 pilots, burned 57 warships and commando boats; and destroyed hundreds of enemies.
Typical of that spirit of intelligence and bravery in combat was that on April 3 and 4, 1965, the district's armed forces joined forces with the Thanh Hoa armed forces in coordination with the air force, navy, and border guards to shoot down 47 planes. The images of the Hoang Truong Old Militia Platoons, Yen Vuc Militia Platoons, and Hoang Hai Female Militia Platoons will forever be shining symbols of revolutionary heroism, heroic symbols of the Hoang Hoa army and people, contributing with the army and people of the whole country to many resounding victories, with the peak being the Great Spring Victory of 1975, leaving a bright milestone in the history of the nation.
