(Baonghean.vn) - During the resistance war against the US to save the country, Nghe An was one of the great rear bases for the Southern battlefield. In addition to providing manpower and resources for the campaigns, the army and people of Nghe An also fought bravely to protect the Fatherland's airspace, cutting down mountains and hills, filling bomb craters, and opening roads for convoys to the battlefield.
