Because the sky was cloudy, it was difficult to see. Stick suddenly fell into the enemy’s ambush without even knowing it. The Western team knew that this was a contact for guerrillas, he looked pleased and asked:
– Where are you from? (The French enemy still called Viet Minh cadres in Lai Chau province “province man”)
A Stick calmly replied:
– Do not know!
The name of the Western team roared:
– This ammo bag you brought to the province to shoot us without you knowing? Say it or I’ll blow your head off now.”
Sticky still replied:
– Do not know!
The name of the Western team could not keep calm, it rushed in to beat Sticky bag dust. The enemy took turns beating Vu A Dinh brutally until noon.

Sticky is still as inert as a stone, not revealing even half a word. At that moment, the Thai, Hmong, and Xa people were caught by the enemy passing by, seeing the scene of Dinh, and everyone was moved to tears. Suddenly, Stick recognized a villager. Sticky message in Hmong:
-The bag of documents I hid in the forest, message you guys to take it back.
Whenever he met someone he knew, he would leave the same message in front of the guards.

– Make a stretcher for me!
For a whole day, Stick forced the enemy to carry him all the way from one mountain to another, but he still refused to point out where the soldiers were stationed. Wandering around until evening, Stick again led them back to their original starting point. A Dinh looked up at the sky and mountains of his hometown and smiled. Realizing that he had been tricked, the Westerner roared. It discharges a whole magazine of bullets into Vu A Dinh’s chest. Then he ordered someone to hang Vu A Dinh’s body on an old peach tree.

Wherever he went on duty, he also brought that brave example to tell the children. When peace was restored, he brought it back to his hometown to tell his children and grandchildren to educate the family tradition.
Whenever I think of Luom, my mind pops up with the image of a young boy, carrying a document bag on his shoulder, wearing a backpack on his head, whistling loudly, walking and jumping on the child. sunny road. Guom sacrificed himself heroically while on duty in the rain of bombs and bullets, the boy sacrificed himself in the motherland – a noble sacred sacrifice, a shining example that our generation must follow. .

Short story on March 26: Vo Thi Sau and the grenade destroyed the enemy
In February 2, she led a team, used grenades to attack two evil villains Ca Sut and Ca Day. But unfortunately, she fell into enemy hands. They tortured her with all kinds of torture, but also had to give up because they could not exploit anything. After that, they immediately took her to the detention center in Chi Hoa, Saigon to continue exploiting and then opened a trial and sentenced her to death.
At the felony trial, although she was only 17 years old, Ms. Vo Thi Sau proudly showed the heroic mettle of a Vietnamese girl that made the judges and her accomplices all fear. The lady affirms:
– Patriotism against colonial invaders is not a crime!
And when the judge rang the bell to interrupt her, giving her sentence: “Death, confiscation of all property”, she shouted at him:
– I still have a few trash cans at Chi Hoa clinic, we’re going to confiscate them!
Followed by a loud and eloquent shout:
– Overthrow the French colonialists! Resistance is certain to win!
The French colonialists really wanted to kill this scary girl, but did not dare to carry out the death sentence for a minor. They had to continue to detain her in the Chi Hoa clinic and then take her to Con Dao. On January 23, 1, they executed the sentence, shot and killed her outside this island far from the mainland, 1952 days after they brought her here. Knowing that she was about to be executed, during the night of the 2nd, she sent her heart to the country and people with revolutionary songs such as: Going to the Way, Let’s go to war together, Tien Quan Ca,…

– Now I baptize you.
She dismissed the priest’s words:
– I’m not guilty. Only the person who is about to execute me is guilty…

– Before you die, do you have any regrets?
She looked directly into his face and the face of the judge, and replied:
– I only regret that I have not destroyed all the colonists and the henchmen selling the country.
Arriving at the courthouse, the judge asked her:
– What else to ask before you die?
She says:
– No need to blindfold me. Let my eyes behold my beloved country until the last moment and I have the courage to look directly into the muzzle of your guns!
After saying that, she began to raise her voice. She sang the song Tien Quan ca. The voice of the daughter of Dat Do now seems more earnest and soaring, passionately drowned out the voice of the judge reading the execution order as well as the shout commanding the soldiers to load the bullets of the captain of the legion. . When the commander ordered the soldiers to prepare to open fire, she immediately stopped singing and shouted:
– Overthrow the French colonialists! Long live independent Vietnam! Long live President Ho!
Her screams seemed to make the executioners drop their hands, seven dry gunshots crackled. Ms. Vo Thi Sau was still standing proudly. Her eyes glared straight at them. The captain of the legion did not organize to fire the second salvo. He pulled out his pistol and staggered back, put it right in her ear and pulled the trigger…
After that, the feat and especially the heroic action against the enemy of Ms. Vo Thi Sau – the heroic Vietnamese daughter – was transmitted not only in the prison balls but also in the bedrooms of the gods. islands, dignitaries and families across Con Dao…
The Vietnamese people have always had a heroic and indomitable tradition: “there is death that turns into immortality, there are words above all songs”. Yes, Sister Sau will still live forever with the history of the Vietnamese revolution, still imprinted in Vietnamese poetry, and at the same time, she also contributes to the radiant beauty of the country’s rivers. She will always be a resilient and indomitable example for Vietnamese youth in the new era. In the face of life’s challenges, at a young age, let’s always be optimistic, believe in the victory of the renovation process, thereby contributing to the cause of socialist construction of the land. The country is like Vo Thi Sau every day.
