The indomitable spirit of Vietnamese soldiers
Vietnamese soldiers have always been mentioned with an indomitable and resilient spirit throughout the history of the nation's struggles. From the feudal period, the war against colonialism and imperialism, to the wars to protect the border and protect peace, Vietnamese soldiers have always been a symbol of patriotism, indomitable will and indomitable fighting spirit. This article will explore the stories and special qualities of Vietnamese soldiers through the ages.
1. Indomitable Fighting Spirit Through Historical Periods
The indomitable spirit of Vietnamese soldiers is not only demonstrated through modern wars but has appeared since the early period of the nation's history. The resistance wars against foreign invaders from the North during the time of Hai Ba Trung and Ba Trieu to the wars for independence under the Ngo, Dinh, Tien Le, and Ly dynasties have engraved the image of brave and resilient Vietnamese soldiers in the hearts of the nation.
During the resistance wars against French colonialism and American imperialism, the indomitable spirit of the soldiers was once again clearly demonstrated. President Ho Chi Minh's army became a symbol of steadfastness, refusing to submit to any foreign power. Historic battles such as Dien Bien Phu (1954) and the Ho Chi Minh campaign (1975) are testaments to the patriotism and will to fight for independence and freedom of the Vietnamese people.
2. Soldiers in the War Against French Colonialism
During nearly a century of French colonial rule, Vietnamese soldiers rose up to fight to protect national independence and sovereignty. The indomitable spirit of the soldiers was clearly demonstrated in uprisings such as the Can Vuong movement, the Yen Bai uprising, and especially the 9-year nationwide resistance war against French colonialism from 1946 to 1954.
The Dien Bien Phu victory in 1954 was not only the achievement of the Vietnam People's Army but also a testament to the solidarity of the entire nation. Vietnamese soldiers, with their iron will and patriotism, overcame all difficulties and deprivations, accepting sacrifices to defeat an enemy that was stronger in both numbers and weapons.
3. Soldier Spirit During the War Against America
The war against the US (1955-1975) was one of the most heroic periods in the history of the Vietnamese army. With their indomitable will, Vietnamese soldiers not only faced an enemy with superior military strength, but also had to fight in the harsh natural conditions of the Truong Son mountains and forests, enduring fierce bombings from the US air force and navy.
During more than 20 years of war, the indomitable spirit of the Vietnamese soldiers was demonstrated through thousands of large and small battles. Military campaigns such as the Tet Offensive (1968), the legendary Truong Son Trail, and the historic Ho Chi Minh Campaign demonstrated the unshakable strength and determination of the Vietnamese soldiers in the fight for independence and national reunification.
4. Vietnamese Soldiers in Peacetime
Not only in wartime, Vietnamese soldiers in peacetime still maintain discipline, ready to fight and sacrifice for the Fatherland. After the country was unified, the Vietnamese army participated in the wars to protect the northern and southwestern borders, protecting the sovereignty of the sea and islands of the Fatherland.
In peacetime, Vietnamese soldiers continue to participate in peacekeeping missions, search and rescue missions, and help people in natural disasters and floods. The image of soldiers wading through storms and floods, supporting the people of Central Vietnam during historic floods has deeply engraved in the hearts of the Vietnamese people the bravery and love of the army for the people.
