The story of 104 Chinese soldiers surrendering at the Cao Bang front
February 17, 2020
In the early morning of February 17, 1979, China sent more than half a million troops and thousands of tanks and motorized vehicles over the Vietnamese border, simultaneously attacking six northern provinces from Pa Nam Cum (Lai Chau) to Po Hen. (Quang Ninh) on a length of 1,200 km border.
The northern border war broke out while the main Vietnamese legions were fighting the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia. Along our border, there are only main forces of military zones, local troops and guerrillas.
The total defense force of Vietnam in the northern border provinces is less than 60,000 troops. While China is estimated to have 600,000 troops with 9 main corps and 32 independent infantry divisions, 6 tank regiments, 4 divisions, artillery and anti-aircraft regiments and hundreds of heavy artillery, thousands mortars and rocket launchers.
Although the wounds after more than 20 years of war have not yet healed, our army and people still entered the fight against the invaders with strong will, courage and burning desire for Independence - Freedom, expressing I love my country with my heart and blood. Destroy and eliminate from the battle tens of thousands of invaders, causing them a lot of damage and forcing China to withdraw its troops.
During this war, we took many prisoners alive, including an entire Chinese mountain company that voluntarily surrendered to our troops, without spending a single bullet. There was even a brief report that this company agreed to surrender according to the cell's resolution. This is a rare story in the history of world war.
This mountain company belongs to the 448th Infantry Regiment, 150th Division, 50th Army Corps, Chengdu Military Region. The unit also has a full set of staff: Company Captain Ly Hoa Binh, politician Phung Tang Man, Party Committee, platoon leaders ... and fully equipped. Accompanying the company were two officers sent by the regiment to direct the battle, one was the deputy chief of staff of the regiment Pho Boi Duc, the other was the deputy political commissar of the regiment Long Duc Xuong. The whole company was full of 104 men.
According to the testimonies of the soldiers: The mountain company planned to penetrate deep into our land, but because of the old map, they did not know anything about the terrain and terrain of Vietnam, and even the battlefield in the mountains and forests to the west. North that they were fighting, then invisibly they became a bunch of "lost children". When coming to Minh Tam (Nguyen Binh - Cao Bang), the company stopped on a rocky hill, suddenly discovered the difference between the map they used and the field. Looking around, there were Vietnamese troops everywhere, the company command knew that fighting to open the way back was hopeless while the food was gone and the water source was not available. Therefore, the company cell's branch committee held an urgent meeting with a proper resolution. And to come to that decision to surrender, they had to have a "party" meeting that took half a day to come up with a resolution...
In the Resolution to issue goods, it is clearly stated:
“Follow the teachings of leader Lenin, which is: Do concrete work – in specific stages. So now the resolution is to surrender, to preserve our forces, to return to the Fatherland."
The surrender of Chinese soldiers in this war is real. But are there specific circumstances such as the testimony of the soldiers?
Many sources reported that the siege of this company was inconsistent. There was an article that was the Self-Defense Battalion of Thai Nguyen Iron and Steel, and the newspaper cited sources saying the Tinh Tuc Tin Mine Self-Defense Force and Minh Tam Commune's militia. There are newspapers stating that it is a Vietnamese military unit. In some photos taken by the company of soldiers, there are images of female militiamen holding guns. So which unit directly captured that company? And what time do we start? Does the company of mountain soldiers surrender their guns "voluntarily"?
For many reasons, at that time the press did not approach to have detailed articles. Over the last few years, I've been trying to reach out to some units and veterans to find out what's going on. After the war, the military units merged and the war retreated, insiders left the army, or moved back to live in the countryside, finding witnesses to get answers seemed impossible. .
Fortunately, I met veterans who were cadres and soldiers of the Military Command of Bac Thai Province (now the Military Command of Thai Nguyen Province) in 1979 and learned that the unit was fighting in Vietnam. Nguyen Binh - Cao Bang and directly involved in capturing the infantry company was the North Thai 4th Battalion. Also through the veterans, I was introduced and had the opportunity to talk with Mr. Pham Minh Hung, a veteran of the 4th Battalion North Thai, now living in Cu Van commune, Dai Tu district, Thai Nguyen province.
Memories of a time when he wore the old battle shirt with youthful enthusiasm as if to make him younger. He showed me his record of those years through his generous and exhilarating verses. He said:
– I am a soldier of 3rd Battalion, 1st Platoon, 2nd Company – 4th Battalion of Northern Thai and was assigned to use B41 gun. As soon as the Chinese army opened fire to invade our country, our North Thai 4th Battalion received orders to set out to strengthen the border fire line.
On February 19, we occupied our position at Ta Sa, Ban Ho, Minh Thanh commune, Nguyen Binh district. After scouting the enemy situation, the battalion organized an attack on enemy forces stationed in Ban Ho village, Na Luoc hamlet.
On March 8, the battalion consisting of the re-enlisted soldiers of the iron and steel area marched to Nguyen Binh to meet the enemy at Na Pao fork, the battles took place fiercely, many officers and soldiers of this battalion died.
On March 10, we intercepted and fought the enemy at the cattle ranch area of Cao Bang province, the struggle took place all day. My company was reinforced with 12mm7 guns, 82 mortars fired directly at the enemy formation. Detecting our firepower, the enemy used DKZ and H12 rockets to counterattack madly.
On the night of March 12, the enemy attacked to open a bloodline to flee, they attached to the wire communication line to attack the infantry battalion, causing a number of officers and soldiers to die...
Hearing me mention the incident of capturing a company of Chinese mountain soldiers, Pham Minh Hung pondered:
– Our battalion and the new battalion from iron and steel and local militia deployed the plan of cooperation, determined not to let the enemy commit crimes. Discovered a group of Chinese soldiers holding a mountain, due to the steep terrain of cat's ears, the scouts could not reach the target, so the number was estimated at about one platoon. Attacking this mountain is very difficult and can result in heavy casualties. The North Thai 4th Battalion command board arranged a tight encirclement and tried to destroy it. Comrade North, a political officer of the C23 artillery company, a former Chinese teacher, was assigned to hold a loudspeaker to call on the enemy to surrender. At this time, the North Thai 5th Battalion to reinforce the front also marched in.
On the afternoon of March 14,
a Chinese soldier held a white flag down the mountain. The soldier said that his company had about 100 people on the mountain, and asked to surrender. Suggest we let people negotiate. The battalion command did not accept negotiations and allowed the surrender on condition that all weapons were left on the spot, no mines were planted, white flags were carried, and their hands were raised in the air, walking in a line down the mountain.
Platoon 1, belonging to our 2nd company, commanded by comrade Dao Ngoc Khoa, platoon leader, was assigned to capture prisoners (At that time on the battlefield the soldiers called them remnants). Two scout soldiers escorted the soldier to the mountain to contact his accomplices. We are in a ready-to-battle position in case they turn around. After a while, all the soldiers came out, 104 in all.
It was very difficult for us to reach the top of the mountain because of the jagged cliffs, it was impossible to imagine how they got there. From here, the enemy could observe the entire terrain of the area, they certainly saw clearly that our army and people deployed a battle formation, in which there were quite a few soldiers from the North Thai 5th Battalion that had just gathered. At the place where they hid their troops, weapons and personal belongings were scattered everywhere.
No one knows if they are really lost or too scared. If participating in the war, this company has no chance to return. Around 5 p.m. the entire company of Chinese soldiers was captured alive.
