Case No. 7 Ôn Như Hầu and a Historic Milestone

The successful operation against the plot at No. 7 Ôn Như Hầu on July 12, 1946, stands as a significant historical milestone for Vietnam's People's Security force. This action not only safeguarded the young revolutionary government but also marked a glorious chapter in the 80-year history of the force.

Throughout its history, the People's Security force has achieved numerous outstanding victories in national security and social order. The Ôn Như Hầu case in 1946 holds particular importance as a prime example of the revolutionary security forces' early efforts to protect the nascent government. In times of war and peace, the force has remained loyal to the Party, the nation, and the people.

Following the August Revolution in 1945, the Democratic Republic of Vietnam faced immense challenges. Internal and external hostile forces continuously worked to destabilize society, weaken, and overthrow the revolutionary government. The foiling of this coup attempt affirmed the political will, intelligence, vigilance, and absolute loyalty of the early security officers.

Therefore, the Ôn Như Hầu case is remembered as a symbol of the determination, bravery, and responsibility to protect the revolutionary government from its earliest days. July 12, 1946, is now celebrated as the Traditional Day of the heroic People's Security force, officially recognized by the Ministry of Public Security in 2001. The operation successfully dismantled a counter-revolutionary coup plot by the National Party in Hanoi and other localities, breaking the link between internal rebels and foreign invaders and helping to secure the revolutionary government.

The victory in crushing the coup plot of the National Party at No. 7 Ôn Như Hầu on July 12, 1946, not only firmly protected the young revolutionary government but also became a shining milestone opening the 80-year heroic journey of the People's Security force.
