Tuyen Quang - From the Tan Trao revolutionary base, the order of the General Uprising to gain power across the country was spread to the people like a waterfall.

On the afternoon of August 16, 1945, when the National Assembly was not yet over, under the ball of Tan Trao, Commander-in-Chief Vo Nguyen Giap, on behalf of the National Uprising Committee, read the No. 1 Military Command and then led the advance to attack and occupy Thai Nguyen town.

The military order stated: "We must act quickly, with an extremely brave spirit, extremely cautious. The Fatherland is demanding great sacrifices from you. The victory will definitely be ours.

Nearly 200 soldiers of the Liberation Army stood in two vertical rows, in front of the red flag with five yellow stars and five butterfly wings, delegates attending the National Assembly and the people of Tan Trao attended and said goodbye to the liberation army. The group sang the song "Nam tien" while traveling.

The No. 1 military order has become a historic order, launching a national uprising in the context of a very urgent and urgent situation. Japan has declared its surrender to the Allies. The Japanese government is losing control. Many localities have risen up, ready to respond to the call of Viet Minh.

According to Prof. Dr. Pham Hong Tung - Hanoi National University, chose to attack the Japanese military camp in Thai Nguyen right after leaving the army, which was both geographical and a symbol of the armed activities against apartheid by the Viet Minh Front. That task was entrusted to General Vo Nguyen Giap by Uncle Ho.

"A general uprising is a long preparation process. We have built a Vietnam-US military training force, but the most important thing is the Vietnam-US army as a testament to the Allied's international recognition of the Viet Minh Front's forces.

That is the vision to look forward to, the talent of Uncle Ho when combining the strength of the nation and the strength of the times" - Prof. Dr. Pham Hong Tung commented.

From Tan Trao "Resistance Capital" of the revolution, the wave of mass uprising spread like a waterfall, many localities across the country simultaneously stood up with the strength of a storm to chase off invaders and flood rafts with the wrong hands.

In Hanoi, the rally organized by the General Confederation of Labor was held at the Opera House Square on the afternoon of August 17 with the participation of tens of thousands of people, flooding in front of and around the Opera House. Members of the self-defense fight and propagate volunteers are deployed in large numbers waiting for orders to be ready to take action.

The team members propagated the Viet Minh volunteer movement to the forum to announce the news of Japan's unconditional surrender to the Allies, calling on the people to support the Viet Minh uprising.

On August 19, 1945, the uprising to gain power in Hanoi ended with resounding victory, creating motivation and enthusiasm for many other localities to gain power back to the people. In the following days, resounding victories from Bac Kan to Hue, then to Saigon - Gia Dinh, Ben Tre...

By August 28, Viet Minh had won national power, the August Revolution had succeeded, and the Vietnamese people had dismantled the French colonial rule after nearly a century of being chained and enslaved.
