During this time, Au Lau wharf was reinforced in terms of both manpower and facilities to transport weapons, ammunition, food, foodstuffs, citizens, and soldiers across the Red River, and at the same time brace itself against the battles. fierce bombing by the French colonialists. At night is the time when most activities take place at Au Lau wharf to avoid enemy detection. Ferries travel back and forth as quickly as possible to clear the way for reinforcement vehicles.
