Going back in history, it can be seen that during the years of resistance, cadres and people of all ethnic groups in Luong Son district did not hesitate to sacrifice and work hard, focusing their forces day and night on both production and combat service.

The district military force promptly directed the army and militia of the communes to close the encirclement, hunt down and capture the pilot. On December 29, 1972, the enemy mobilized hundreds of tactical aircraft to bomb and attack fiercely around the area. A group of helicopters landed on Bu hill to rescue the pilot...
