This is a relatively dangerous route, especially the Bong Lau pass area (about 10 km long, in Trang Dinh district, Lang Son province) which is a winding road with narrow corners and steep slopes, where groups French army transport vehicles were often blocked and attacked by our forces, causing many losses (as of August 1949, French troops were ambushed three times by us in this area). To ensure the safety of important transportation routes, the French army deployed troops to guard important positions on the route. At the same time, when organizing transportation, it was often necessary to use a large number of vehicles (about around 100 vehicles) and divided into several groups, escorted by infantry forces and armored vehicles with a thoughtful contingency plan. After the end of the Cao - Bac - Lang Campaign in April 1949, we advocated continuing to conduct a number of battles to promote the victory of the campaign, focusing on attacking the enemy's transportation activities. on Route 4. Implementing the above policy, Regiment 174 was assigned the task of organizing the 4th ambush in the Bong Lau pass area (the section between Bong Lau and Lung Phay stations), with the determination to "first launch the battle". must win".

However, at this time, a French vehicle approaching kilometer 58 suddenly stalled, causing the entire convoy to pile together, and at the same time the accompanying enemy infantry deployed a protective formation.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the units quickly mobilized to occupy advantageous positions, used grenades and infantry guns to fiercely attack the enemy formation; After more than an hour of fierce fighting, we completely controlled the battlefield, escorted prisoners, resolved casualties and withdrew our troops. Between 4:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m., the enemy twice used aircraft to bombard the battlefield and sent troops from That Khe to rescue, but both were blocked by the forces of Battalion 53 and forced to retreat. As a result, we killed and wounded 194 enemy soldiers, captured 23 soldiers, destroyed 86 vehicles (including 1 tank, 2 armored vehicles, 78 transport cars), collected nearly 100 guns of all kinds and many other vehicles. military equipment, military equipment.

With the indomitable tradition of Hoc Mon people. On June 4, 1930, around 6 a.m. in front of the District Palace, hundreds of Hoc Mon people protested demanding "abolition of poll tax, reduction of license and market taxes, and granting land to poor farmers." Tra District invited the leaders into the Palace to negotiate, but they cunningly arrested them, including Mr. Le Van Uoi (Secretary of Tan Thoi Nhi Commune), who was the leader of the protest. People were undaunted and fiercely demanded that Tea District release those detained. The protest group became more and more crowded, the fighting spirit spread somewhat, causing Tra District to give in. On the one hand, they released the detained people, on the other hand, they called the officials in Saigon for help. 2 hours later, the struggle was led by two men, Blachole and Nobbot, who opened fire on the protest group, causing many casualties. But the most impressive historical event at Hoc Mon District Palace was the Southern Uprising on November 23, 1940. Hoc Mon Fort is very solid, built of green stone like a fortress, about 15 meters high, has a gun emplacement and a defense system with battlements guarded by a platoon of green soldiers.

Immediately this army was ordered to pull back to Hoc Mon. The Long Tuy Thuong army was commanded by Mr. Bui Van Hoat. The army of General Long Tuy Trung was commanded by Mr. Do Van Day and Le Binh Dang. At around 24:00 on the night of November 22, 1940, the sound of artillery fire had not yet been heard in Saigon. After consulting, the army commanders united to attack the enemy's post. Immediately the troops headed straight to Fort Hoc Mon, where District Chief Bui Ngoc Tho resided. Two insurgents named Nghe and Kinh volunteered to enter the front gate and sacrificed their lives. Insurgents from all directions rushed into the Fort like water bursting its banks. Faced with the power of the insurgents and the masses, the soldiers in the Station no longer had the spirit to resist and fled in disarray. The insurgents completely occupied the inside of the station, but upstairs, the enemy still stubbornly used guns to shoot sporadically, at the same time calling Saigon and Thu Dau Mot for emergency help. Because he was eager to capture the name of Tho District, comrade Do Van Day climbed up to the upper floor of the Station by clinging to the gutter. Halfway up, he was hit by bullets, the comrade fell and died later. The battle was at a standstill when enemy reinforcements arrived. Unable to hold out, the insurgents withdrew from the town, dispersed to the villages, the armed forces withdrew to Ben Do hamlet (Tan Phu Trung) and then moved to My Hanh hamlet (Duc Hoa). Although the attack on Hoc Mon Fort (later called Hoc Mon District Palace) failed, it left a deep impression in the hearts of all civilians admiring the courage of revolutionary soldiers in the fight against colonialism. steal the country.
