Since its inception, the song has been considered the official song of the Viet Minh Front.

4. Song "Let's go together, Red Soldiers" by musician Hoang Van

On the morning of August 19, 1945, a group of people from all directions came to the Opera House Square, singing the revolutionary march Together We Go Red Soldiers.

This march that has accompanied the years was recreated by musician Hoang Van in the form of a choir in the fall of 1960 on the occasion of the 15th anniversary of Vietnam's National Day in a choir called Remembrance.
