Hero La Van Cau joined Company 671 and achieved many achievements in combat. In the Dong Khe battle of the 1950 border campaign, he and his comrades were tasked with destroying fences and bunkers, clearing the way for our troops to advance and destroy the enemy.

While on duty, his right arm and one side of his cheek were hit by bullets. Seeing his arm dangling, he decided to ask his comrades to cut off his injured arm so that he could continue to charge forward, destroy the bunker at the bridgehead, and pave the way for the assault unit to destroy the enemy. The feat of young soldier La Van Cau at that time became a shining example.
