Implementing the policy of the superiors, the Quang Nam Provincial Party Committee directed to step up the building of the armed forces as the core to prepare for the uprising. On the night of May 4, 1945, at Tron's mother's house, Hamlet 1, Xuan Quang Commune, Tam Ky District (now Sam Linh Tay Village, Tam Quang Commune, Nui Thanh District), the Vu Hung Guerrilla Team was established. The team had 30 members, with rudimentary weapons, but under the leadership of the Party and the protection and care of the people, the cadres and soldiers of the Vu Hung Guerrilla Team heroically achieved heroic feats.

During the August Revolution in 1945, Quang Nam became one of the localities that won the earliest victory in the country (during the day and night of August 18). After the August Revolution, members of the guerrillas and self-defense forces in the province gathered together to form the 1st Liberation Army Battalion, consisting of 1,500 members, organized into 3 companies named after patriots: Nguyen Thanh Han, Phan Chau Trinh, Vo Thi Them. At the end of September 1945, the 1st Liberation Army Battalion of the province was renamed the Tran Cao Van National Defense Battalion. This was one of 13 national defense battalions in the South Central provinces.

During the 9-year resistance war against the French colonialists, the army and people of Quang Nam province fought 12,511 large and small battles, eliminating 35,742 enemies, capturing 3,640, shooting down 18 planes, collecting 7,000 guns of various types and destroying many means of war, the culmination of which was the victory at Bo Bo.
