The war against the US and the South Vietnam puppet government, liberating South Vietnam
The 1975 Spring Offensive, beginning with the strategic strike to Buon Ma Thuot on March 12, 1975, defeated the puppet army and government of Sai Gon. Hue, Da Nang, Quy Nhon, Nha Trang, Phan Rang, Phan Thiet, etc. were respectively liberated. The Politburo of the Party Central Committee decided to launch the Ho Chi Minh Campaign. The Vietnamese armies attacked fast. At 11:30 am on April 30, 1975, the Vietnamese flag of liberation was waving on the roof of Dinh Doc Lap (Independence Palace), the last headquarters of the US-backed government of South Viet Nam. Sai Gon and Southern provinces were completely liberated.
April 30, 1975 was a landmark in the course of national liberation for the Party, the people and the army of Viet Nam, in which were huge contributions of General Vo Nguyen Giap, the Central Military Commission and the General Command.
