Story in the campaign
Although he has turned 96, Dien Bien soldier Nguyen Cong Huan, from Tan Ky residential group, Son Duong town, still remembers very clearly the years he participated in the Dien Bien Phu campaign. Mr. Huan volunteered to go to war when he was in his twenties, participating in the national resistance war in 1946 and then participating in the Border campaign in 1950. After that, he was assigned to participate in the Dien Bien Phu campaign, carrying out the task of opening roads, repairing vital traffic routes and bridges for our army to march to Dien Bien Phu.
Mr. Huan said that when preparing to open the campaign, there was a day when the French army dropped hundreds of bombs on the Lung Lo pass area, but with the spirit of giving everything to the front line, Mr. Huan and his teammates, the engineers who broke rocks to open the road, defied falling bombs and exploding bullets, overcoming danger day and night to stick to the road. The enemy destroyed, we repaired, the enemy destroyed this section, we opened another section, the enemy fired during the day, Mr. Huan and his teammates opened the road at night. Despite the hardship and danger, Mr. Huan and his teammates still ensured the safety of the workers carrying food and ammunition through the passes to support the front line.
Talking about the moment of victory in the historic Dien Bien Phu campaign, the eyes of Mr. Tran Van Doanh, An Loc A village, An Khang commune, Tuyen Quang city were filled with tears of emotion. Mr. Doanh said: “Hearing the news of victory, my teammates and I jumped up and hugged each other, cheering non-stop, many of my teammates cried. I also cried at that moment because I knew I would be able to return, to see my mother again, to see my relatives again.”
Dien Bien soldier Nguyen Cong Huan, Tan Ky residential group, Son Duong town (Son Duong) recalls memories with his comrades.
During the Dien Bien Phu campaign, Mr. Doanh was in charge of driving a truck transporting food and medicine to support the front line. Because his job required him to ensure absolute safety from enemy bombs and bullets, he often had to drive through the night. After each victory of our army and the enemy, the trucks were requisitioned to support the battlefield, so there were trucks without windshields, without two doors, without headlights or dashboard lights. Drivers like Mr. Doanh had to use turn signals installed under the chassis to drive through the forest and mountains at night.
The job had to be kept absolutely secret and was dangerous because on one side was a deep abyss and on the other side was a high mountain. If the driver was unlucky, he could fall down the abyss, or the enemy could discover him and drop bombs. However, during the campaign, with his courage and bravery, Mr. Doanh drove countless vehicles to transport food and medicine to the Dien Bien battlefield.
During the Dien Bien Phu campaign, countless children of Tuyen Quang volunteered to join the campaign, sparing no effort to protect their homeland. Each person has a story, a touching and choking memory, a witness to heroic history toeducate the tradition and revolutionary ideals for today's and future generations.
