Veterans on unnumbered trains return to visit old battlefields The road across the East Sea K15 wharf is located in the southwest, at the foot of Van Hoa mountain, the 9th mountain in the Nine Dragon mountain range. Surrounded on three sides by mountains and dense green pine forests, this place is calm, an ideal anchoring point for boats. K15 is a codename during the war, everyday people in Hai Phong call it with a simple name: Ben Tieng. In 1950, the French colonialists built a military dock here to gather and transport war vehicles such as guns, tanks, amphibious vehicles from ships with their mouths open at sea to assemble, that’s why they built a gentle pier from the shore to the water’s edge to facilitate transportation and people used to call it Ben Tieng. In the memory of Hoang Van Dao (86 years old), a veteran fisherman in Do Son, the place of Ben Nghieng is also the image of the last soldiers of the French colonialists who lost the battle at Dien Bien Phu wearing their backpacks. , crooked, leaning on the ship to return home On the way, they were scared and lost, meeting everyone bowing before disembarking. On October 23, 1961, in the face of the situation of the US imperialists promoting the strategy of “special war”, the Ministry of Defense issued Decision No. 97/QD, establishing 759 Brigade (the predecessor of the 125th Navy Brigade) to transporting weapons and equipment to the southern battlefield by sea. Since then, the legends of the numberless train continued, marking the birth of the strategic transport route across the East Sea. After a period of active preparation, at 10 pm on October 11, 1962, the first wooden ship carrying 30 tons of secret weapons departed from Do Son. The departing ship consisted of 13 sailors, all of whom were soldiers from the South gathered by soldier Le Van Mot as captain, soldier Bong Van Dia as a politician. On October 16, 1962, the ship Phuong Dong 1 successfully entered Vam Lung wharf (Ca Mau). Next, the Orient ships 2, 3, 4, respectively. Pointing to the remaining piers on Ben Tieng, Lieutenant Colonel Luu Dinh Lung, a son of Hai Phong, who once participated in transporting 10 unnumbered trains recounted: “In this area, on the decision decided to establish a unit with codename K15 on the level of a battalion. The chief and political officer is Captain Do Tieu. I don’t understand why K15 wharf has exactly 15 stakes installed by the Government, which is very coincidental.” Veteran’s memory Recalling the early days of the operation of the “Numbered Pier”, Lieutenant Colonel Luu Dinh Lung recalled: “During the war, secret work was a vital element, our ships carried the transport mission, not not fighting, so the element of ingenuity and top secret is put on top. Once, General Vo Nguyen Giap came to visit, but was stopped by his comrades at the guard post and refused to let him approach because they did not know the General’s face. The general was not angry but also welcomed the vigilance and secrecy of the soldiers.” “So far, success or not is also due to the work of keeping secrets. If you go out into the street, if you meet family or friends, you are not allowed to enter the wharf gate but have to go another way. After people have passed through, you can enter… When you go to the inner wharf (Southern front) as well. That’s it, don’t say that this guy is on this ship, that guy is on that ship, which ship’s officers and soldiers know are on that ship.” “Just like myself, I am here, the house is in this area, my family knows, if I want to go home, I have to go by car to Hai Phong. Then at the Opera House, walk down to Quan Ngua, from there by car, go home. At 9:00 pm, I went back to the unit and lied that the unit’s car picked me up, I would like to go home. Parents don’t know but actually walk from there to here 6km. Come out here, before entering, take off the army clothes, put on shorts and underwear to go in, the job of keeping secrets is extremely important “- Colonel Lung said. Colonel Luu Dinh Lung is nearly 80 years old this year. A few years ago he had a stroke, so his health somewhat declined, but the memories of the train without number were still imprinted in his mind. The most memorable was on November 5, 1965, after he returned to Do Son on train 642 to Vung Ro, ship 642 was awarded the Third Class Military Merit Medal by the State and was given a pack of cigarettes by Uncle Ho for each sailor. . On April 15, 1963, the first stake was driven down. But the more they close, the more they refuse because they encounter sandy and rocky terrain. Having to change machinery and equipment many times, workers continuously work 3 shifts, excluding day and night. On May 15, 1963, wharf K15 was completed and began to do its historic duty… Continuing the recollections of the train without number, chat with lieutenant Hoang Gia Hieu, who used to participate in transporting many weapons on the legendary ship number 641, twice honored with the title of hero. Currently, that ship is located in the museum of the Navy, which is a national historic site. Lieutenant Hoang Gia Hieu enlisted in the army in February 1964, and in April 1964 was assigned to a convoy to support the southern battlefield by sea. In August 1964, rookie Hoang Gia Hieu took the first trip aboard ship number 641 (also known as C41, now renamed HQ671) of Captain Ho Dac Thanh to Ca Mau. After that, he went on many more trips, including 3 successful trips to bring weapons to Vung Ro (Phu Yen). The story that he remembers most is the decision to blow up the ship 641 after many years of attachment and the image of his comrades sacrificing themselves to ensure the secret of the vital sea route. “Around 11 o’clock at night on November 27, 1966, our ship arrived at the pier. Running back and forth, from the gate of My A to Pho An (Quang Ngai), still no one came to greet him. Time was short, we decided to drop the goods, and at the same time send people ashore to make contact. At four o’clock in the morning, two-thirds of the cargo was released, then two enemy destroyers were discovered to hide and block the exit.” During 10 years (1962-1972) from K15 Do Son wharf, there were hundreds of unnumbered trains, successfully transporting 18,741 officers and soldiers and 44,000 tons of weapons, goods and timely aid to the army. Our people in the South, Zone 6, Zone 5… during the resistance war, greatly contributed to the glorious victory of the nation in the Southern front, reunifying the country. In the face of the situation of “thousands of pounds hanging by a hair”, the Sub-Committee urgently consulted and came up with a plan to blow up the ship to keep the location of the cargo a secret and not to let the ship fall into the hands of the enemy. “After the crew members had disembarked, Captain Thanh and chief engineer Phan Nhan destroyed the documents, timed the fuse for thirty minutes, and then swam to shore… Waited and waited and waited, but did not see the ship explode. From the shore, first mate Duong Van Loc and captain Tran Nhu, the two brothers worried that the ship would not explode and would fall into enemy hands, so they swam to the fire point. A while later, on the ship 641, a fire broke out, and Mr. Loc and Mr. Nhon died.

Mr. Xoi said: “This is a native jackfruit variety named To Tan, this jackfruit tree was given by a friend 25 years ago. Jackfruit has fruit all year round, delicious taste very strange, large, fleshy, flat seeds, very beautiful turmeric yellow color. Since planting until now, I have not applied any organic or inorganic fertilizers at all. Each year the tree gives 200 to 300 fruits”. This type of jackfruit from flowering to tree ripening is exactly 100 days, regardless of whether the weather is sunny or rainy. Each fruit when ripe has a weight of 2 to 2.2 kg and lies close to each other, giving off a very long aroma. Finding it strange, he tried branching with many methods to replicate but with no success. So now Mr. Xoi has only 1 strange jackfruit tree in the garden of 10,000 m2. Every year when the jackfruit is ripe, he only gives it to his neighbors to enjoy but does not sell, so the selling price has not been determined yet. (According to Popular Science Newspaper)

People evacuated all, in Tung Luat village there are only holes of bombs, food is not available, the brothers look for old cassava roots and put them in water to soak them, but the cassava is too old, some people cannot eat, so they go out to the bushes to find leaves Boats boiled to eat.

At that time, the enemy bombarded them so much that there were no trees left to live. You have to dig tunnels. All activities are underground, only when doing new tasks up. Want to bring the soldiers across the river, they had to go at night because the enemy aircraft were in discussions during the day. In the rainy season, the water in the cellar rises and goes up to sleep. In the summer, I get a tennis player to hold the mosquitoes. Ms. Xu and her teammates lived for 9 years in the ground “Once I was sitting in a cellar with two soldiers, an enemy spy plane detected. I told them to run away, but they did not have orders to move and told me to run. About 50 meters away, the bombs fell into the cellar, I have not had time to ask your names and hometowns. When I returned, the shelter was only a deep bomb hole, everything was shattered, ”she said chokedly. Ms. Xu and her teammates lived for 9 years in the earth, rarely seeing the sun.

Her family had two younger brothers who died in 1968, 1969 when they brought soldiers across the river … “I still remember the two sisters we were assigned to walk to Vinh Long (about 15 meters from Tung Luat) to download bullets. Up to Mui Lo bridge (Vinh Giang commune) discovered the bridge was destroyed by a large area of ​​bombs, one of our artillery units had to camouflage artillery and tried to cross the bridge. Ms. Tran Thi Mao was a member of Tung Luat militia company since 1964, when she was 17 years old Looking towards the sea, seeing enemy aircraft glancing around, we predicted the possibility that they would be aimed at the artillery unit. The sisters did not know which direction, and kept on straight to Route 1 and ran while the enemy bombs exploded. On the second series of bombardment, a digging bomb fell in the middle of the road, just a few meters away from where the sisters lay. Soil covered our heads, but fortunately we survived. When the bombs stopped falling, the sisters left, continued to take and carry the bullets back to the pier ”. Generations of generations stood shoulder to shoulder, holding paddle across the river From mid-1967 to early 1973, Tung Luat wharf was placed under the direct leadership of Vinh Giang Party Committee and Commune Party Committee. There is a regular militia company of 80 people (up to 111 people at peak), staffed into 4 divisions: a detachment of rowing boat across the river, clearing bombs and mines; Transport and supply for Con Co; Anti-aircraft artillery protection; Digging tunnels, fortifications, trenches, camps, organizing ambulance, moving wounded soldiers, soldiers and gathering goods.

Trang’s family has been a regular guest of Van Van for more than 10 years. Before the epidemic, Trang said, the area was very cramped because the restaurants were crowded with many tourists. During this time, many shops stopped doing business, so customers like her were allowed to go out and sit more comfortably and comfortably. “I have eaten many snail shops. Anywhere I heard that it was delicious, I went, but eating at snail is still the most stable. It’s not cheap in the center, but because it’s delicious, I don’t care about the price. I find the best avocado-related dishes here, such as butter-fried fat snails, garlic snails sautéed with cheese. Family of 3 generations selling snails Quan Vi Hao (24 years old), son of the owner of Van snail shop, said that the family has a 3-life tradition of selling snails, respectively great-grandmother, grandmother, now his mother. “My grandmother sold snails from the 1940s. At that time, the shop had no signboards but was very famous and expensive, just mention the Chuong Duong wharf restaurant or the snail at the foot of the Mong bridge that people knew immediately. Her most famous dish is grilled carp, priced at 7,000 VND / plate ”. Ms. Thuy Van is the famous snail brand builder in Saigon. When his mother came to work on her own, the shop adopted the name of Van snail, now it has been 20 years. “My house has moved 3 times. Initially sold at the current place, Nguyen An Ninh street, then to the Ben Thanh night market, selling for 9-10 years. By 2009, the market no longer supplied water to business households, so they moved back to their old place and sold until now ”. Since the opening of the sale, Ms. Van has devoted a lot of energy to discovering and learning new dishes, creating a recipe for the taste of most diners. She is the only one who holds the recipe of the dishes and chooses the ingredients and spices herself. The menu is varied with about 30 types of snails, each can be processed into 3-5 different dishes. Van snail restaurant attracts a large number of diners because of its special delicious taste. “Fortunately, the restaurant is supported by many people, there are quite a few famous people who are patrons. I think that business in the food industry, the most important thing is the word ‘delicious’. Because of its deliciousness, people come and spread each other’s ears, so my family attaches great importance to the quality of food as well as the way of serving it, ”Hao said. Van Van’s employees are family members, both paternal and maternal side. During the day, each person has a different job, in the evening together as a sales assistant. “The time of the shop is quite flexible, open from 17:00, some day until 2-3 am, depending on the needs of customers. Every day without guests, I will rest early, but if people come in late to eat, my house will still comfortably serve. There are nights when customers come in crowded at the same time, unable to get close to each table, it is difficult to avoid mistakes, so I hope everyone understands, ”said the owner of the shop owner. The restaurant is sometimes open until midnight to serve guests. Delicious snails do not look at the price Being the first time to eat at Van snail, Tran Bao (28 years old, district 4) and his friends felt impressed with the delicious and strange taste of the dishes here. He told his friends that this is a famous snail shop, often with artists coming to eat so he was very curious. “The first time I came here, I was surprised because there were many dishes with strange cooking methods. For example, the red snail dish I ordered has added chili sauce, the spicy taste is quite attractive, I find a few restaurants that do that way. The price here is much higher than the places I used to eat, but compared to the quality, that level is appropriate. I will come back here many more times and recommend to my friends ”.

Only getting to know the Van snail 1 year ago through the recommendation of a friend, Tran Phu Thien (30 years old, an office worker) has become a customer of the restaurant. Working on Mac Dinh Chi Street (District 1), Thien and a group of colleagues often come here to eat and chat after work. “I am a culinary fanatic, especially love snail dishes. Here in Saigon, where there are famous snails, I have come to eat but I feel this place is the best, I have to eat 4-5 times a month. My favorite dish here is garlic snail sautéed with onion fat ”. Thien said that his friends told him that many famous people often visit Van snail, but he did not care too much, what he was most impressed with was the typical delicious taste of the restaurant. “Today we ordered 8 dishes, priced at 70,000-150,000 VND. Snails here are seasoned to suit many people, not too sweet like most other goods. I feel that the ingredients of the restaurant are also fresh, carefully selected. Compared to the places where used to eat, Van snail is more expensive, but because it is so delicious, I don’t care about the price “. “Moreover, I like the comfortable, quiet atmosphere here, eating and watching Saigon at night, it is very interesting,” Thien added.
