The speech at the ceremony presented by comrade Luong Nguyen Minh Triet - Alternate member of the Party Central Committee, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee affirmed the importance of the Thuong Duc victory that took place exactly 50 years ago.
The Thuong Duc military district was built by the US to become a solid outpost to protect the Da Nang joint military base and control our Route 14 in the west of Quang Da. Due to its particularly important location, our side determined to attack and control Thuong Duc. After a period of preparation, on the morning of July 29, 1974, the 304th Division opened fire to attack Thuong Duc.
After a day of fierce fighting, units of the 304th Division and the province destroyed the strongholds of Ba Khe, Go Cam, Mo Coi Hill, Luc Nam, and surrounded the stronghold of Ha Song Cave. At the Thuong Duc stronghold, our forces encountered difficulties. The battle between us and the enemy was fierce and lasted for many days. With a heroic fighting spirit and effective tactics, by 8:30 a.m. on August 7, 1974, our troops had completely controlled the Thuong Duc military sub-region. The "Determination to Fight and Win" flag given by the Party Committee and People of Quang Da to the 304th Division flew over the Thuong Duc military sub-region, signaling the complete victory of the campaign.
From August to December 1974, our army continued to defeat the "reoccupation" attacks of the enemy's main force, including the paratroopers and marines, breaking the backbone of the Saigon army's strategic reserve force. The victory at Thuong Duc was one of the resounding victories of the army and people of the South, with great political and military significance, creating a solid practical foundation for the Politburo to build the determination to completely liberate the South and unify the country in 1975.
Previously, Provincial Party Secretary Luong Nguyen Minh Triet and Provincial People's Committee Chairman Le Van Dung presented gifts to Heroic Vietnamese Mother Phan Thi The; People's Armed Forces Hero Nguyen Van Nam; Lieutenant General - People's Armed Forces Hero Pham Xuan The; Colonel Ho Huu Lan - representative of the Veterans Liaison Committee of Division 324.
