Part 1: General Nguyen Son – Chairman of the Southern Resistance Committee
Recently, in newspapers and magazines, there are often articles about General Nguyen Son in the years he returned to the country. But most of those articles only know that there was only one place where he was active, which was Inter-regional Zone 4 and from there he was promoted to the rank of general by President Ho Chi Minh, then in late 1950 he returned to China to participate in the resistance against the Korean American Institute.
In fact, in the funeral eulogy for General Nguyen Son on October 23, 1956 in Hanoi, comrade Hoang Anh on behalf of the General Military Commission and the Ministry of Defense clearly stated: “In 1945, comrade returned to his country, fought in the front lines. of the Party and the Vietnam People’s Army. He was assigned by the Government of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam to hold the position of Chairman of the Resistance Committee of South Vietnam. Since 1947, he has been appointed by the Government as Commander cum Political Commissar of Inter-region IV…”.
At the end of 1945, on October 23, the French invaders sent the battleship Richelieu to blockade the waters of Khanh Hoa and the Nha Trang front broke out, exactly one month after the Southern resistance war. The Nha Trang Front lasted 101 days, until early February 1946. To preserve forces to prepare for long-term resistance, the armed forces of Nha Trang – Khanh Hoa withdrew to Dong Trang base and prevented the enemy from encroaching on Phu Yen and Binh Dinh.
Anticipating that war situation, in early December 1945 “President Ho Chi Minh sent a government delegation led by comrade Le Van Hien to grasp the situation on the southern front. At the same time, Comrade Vo Nguyen Giap entered the battlefield to check the military situation to convey the instructions of the Central Government and the Government.
Comrade Vo Nguyen Giap and Chairman of the Resistance Committee of South Vietnam (UBKCMNVN) Nguyen Son were present when the fighting was taking place on the Nha Trang front. Please quote a passage that says Comrade Nguyen Mo (Bui Dinh), former Secretary of Zone 6, who attended the Nha Trang front, in the book “Nha Trang – Khanh Hoa Front:
“When Mr. Van was in the middle of Mr. Son’s punishment for Mr. (Tran Cong) Khanh, the reason was the battle in Vo Canh – Vinh Xuong…
Mr. Khanh returned to report but his clothes were covered with dust. Mr. Son asked: “Where are you going?” Mr. Khanh recently showed off his battle against Vo Canh…
Mr. Son said: “Stand straight into the corner! I took the position of Chairman of the Committee of Resistance to occupy South Vietnam. I command you.”
Mr. Van sat and laughed…
– Stay in the corner! I punish him! Stand still! Are you a commander or a soldier? Why didn’t the commander stay at the headquarters but run away like a soldier! Then I dismiss you as a soldier…
Mr. Khanh is very afraid of Mr. Son…
Mr. Van sat and laughed …”.
Please add one more detail: “Comrade Te De (Pham Kiet), one of the commanders of the Nha Trang front, went to Quang Ngai to report the war situation, his clothes were messy on the road, Nguyen Son told him to stand still. and said, “Comrade go back to take a shower and change clothes, then come see me…”. That’s Nguyen Son’s style!
The incident narrated above shows the strict but also very cordial character in the early days of the fledgling army, there was a Chairman of the Vietnam Armed Forces Committee and Commander of 3 Military Regions 5-6 and 15 (Central Highlands). Thus, before comrade Van (Vo Nguyen Giap) was the head of the inspection team of the Central and Government.
The following is the story of Professor – Major General Doan Huyen, former member of the Southern advance unit of Thua Thien – Hue from the eastern front of South Vietnam and the southernmost part of Central Vietnam, through the front of Nha Trang – Khanh Hoa early 1 1946. Mr. Doan Huyen recorded: “When the group visited the headquarters of Comrade Te De (ie T2 reads in French, the name of Comrade Pham Kiet at that time), was stationed at Xuan Hoa communal house (Binh Hoa district) near the road. 21 (about 5km), met comrade Vo Nguyen Giap and General Nguyen Son. This was also the time when Nam Long’s unit gathered with the enemy in the front of Madrak – Road 21. At that time, Comrade Vo Nguyen Giap was thinking about walking back and forth in front of the communal house, and Comrade T2 (Pham Kiet) was shouting. on the phone gave orders to Comrade Nam Long. At the meal, in the presence of the Chairman of the Communist Party of Vietnam Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam Nguyen Son, everyone, regardless of the commanders of this level or that of the soldiers, squatted on a straw mat full of vegetables and fish sauce, and a few dried fish. (recorded by Thai Vu)
At that time, we only temporarily divided the three military zones 5-6 and 15 into 3 Battalions 23, 27 and 31. The commander of the 27th Battalion was Tran Cong Khanh, who was strictly punished by Nguyen Son, as Chairman of the Vietnam Armed Forces. as mentioned above. Quang Ngai, the cradle of the revolutionary movement of the central central provinces to the southernmost central region (from Quang Nam – Da Nang to Phan Thiet – Binh Thuan) with the famous Ba To guerrilla team, the starting place of the the first Southern advance unit in the Central region. The headquarters of the Vietnam People’s Committee is located in the town, when President Nguyen Son runs the fronts in the three military zones 5, 6 and 15 (the Central Highlands). From here, based on the combat experience of the Chinese Communist Party with the Tan – Sat – Ky war zone, Dien An in a confiding session with Comrade Nguyen Duong (Lieutenant General, died in October 1997) was The first Secretary of the Party Committee of Zone 6, and former Head of the Political Department of the former 23rd Battalion (Central Highlands), General Nguyen Son expressed concern if the French invaders completely took control of the Central Highlands: “If the war situation In the long run, we will rely on the border area between 3 provinces – North Binh Dinh – South Quang Nam with Quang Ngai as the center, and will establish a long-term anti-French base like Dien An … “.
That confession of Comrade Nguyen Duong until death has not been forgotten since the days from June to August 1946, is the time when comrade Nguyen Duong was sent to Quang Ngai by Chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam Nguyen Son for Party work (Nguyen Duong Duong and Nguyen Son live in the same cell) and follow the supplementary class for Regiment cadres at the main military school (the location on the way from Quang Ngai town to the station, below the Martial School also opened by the Army at the beginning of the month). 6/1946. This school is also chaired by the President of the National Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam, Nguyen Son.)
According to comrade Nguyen Duong, that expectation of the Chairman of the Vietnam National Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam is practical. In the name of the President, General Nguyen Son directly directed three battalions, always present on the battlefields (later Inter-zone 5), from the Nha Trang front to the southernmost provinces of Central Vietnam, to the Central Highlands. Of course, from road 19 connecting the plains of Binh Dinh – Quy Nhon to An Khe – Pleiku). This was a hot time of the resistance war to prevent the enemy from expanding the area of occupation, especially when at the end of January 1946, the French general, Leclerc, directly commanded, captured Buon Ma Thuot.
Please tell me more about the importance of the Central Highlands battlefield. When the French invaders invaded Pleiku, the Central Committee sent a high-ranking delegation led by Comrade Dam Minh Vien (later brother of Lieutenant General Dam Quang Trung) to inspect and inspect. On that occasion, President Nguyen Son sent a Japanese officer to participate. It was Colonel Ikawa (Nhat Cuu) who followed the Viet Minh after Japan surrendered to the Allies.
Ikawa was formerly a Colonel, Chief of Staff of the Army Occupying Indochina, in charge of the central region, from Savannakhet in Laos, through Dong Ha (Quang Tri) to Quy Nhon, Cu Mong Pass, bordering Phu Yen and back. out, is the area Chiang Kai-shek’s army will enter to disarm the Japanese. Ikawa and many officers of the Emperor’s soldiers followed the Viet Minh (headquarters were located in Hue and Da Nang after March 9, 1945, the Japanese coup d’etat France), when the August Revolution in 1945 succeeded, it helped the fledgling army. We have many good weapons, military equipment. Among those officers, many became military teachers, teaching the military to the four captains of Vo under the Quang Ngai Army from June 1946. Ikawa is the commander in chief of a Japanese corporation, has experience in the field of war, and is trusted by President Nguyen Son “to be worthy of a gentleman” through training our young army, having strategy and bravery in the battle. battle time. Therefore, Ikawa was appointed by President Nguyen Son to follow the delegation of senior central officials.
Comrade Dam Minh Vien immediately accepted. Depart from Quy Nhon, follow road 19 to An Khe, go on a Jeep and a Camion. When crossing the Mang Giang pass, the French plane arrived. The force is not equal, our whole team sacrificed because of the mines placed on the roadside…
In December 1946, the Central Committee of the Party and the Government issued a directive to dissolve the Communist Party of Vietnam. Before mid-November, the Vocational School was temporarily terminated by the Quang Ngai Army so that the trainees were assigned to units nationwide to participate in combat. Over 500 brothers, most of them were assigned (by train) to the North and Inter-zone 4 (later). There are more than 50 people, the majority of students in Binh Tri Thien and from Quang Nam, Quang Ngai and Binh Dinh are assigned to the southern features. All concentrated in Binh Dinh citadel (Tay Son Dynasty) still intact, then assigned to military zones 5, 6 and 31 (Central Highlands, southernmost of Central Vietnam). Personally – Thai Vu was assigned to stay in Binh Dinh, later belonged to the 27th Battalion, 68th Regiment… went to the Central Highlands along road 19, Quy Nhon – An Khe, concentrated in Phu Phong (the land of my homeland). Tay Son brothers, with the rank of platoon leader).
My platoon was stationed at the source of the Con River, in the middle of the 19th road, to be on the lookout for the French invaders from An Khe – Pleiku. Around the Dinh Hoi New Year (1947), before the French invaders entered, in the summer of that year they fought on the 19th street – Phu Phong, Binh Dinh, while fighting, they were sent to Cao Van Khanh’s 23rd Battalion, 67th Regiment, to march. Quickly go to Quang Ngai and secure troops right after Tet to keep Sa Huynh sea, Binh De pass, border with Binh Dinh, even outside Long Thanh. Around March, there was an order to quickly march to Quang Ngai town, which had become a plateau after destroying the resistance war, down to the sea of Thu Xa, then marched to Duc Pho, stationed in 2 communes Pho Phong and Pho An, along Provincial road 5A from Ba To down.
Mr. Southern People’s Police came forward to be the company captain, and I (Thai Vu) was the deputy company leader. This is the time when I “train” new soldiers and people from the Mo Duc and Duc Pho sea areas. After that, Mr. Kiem moved to another unit, I was in charge of it alone, and was in charge of sending troops to the mountainous area of Ba To, hiding his troops in the deep forests of poisonous water, not staying at people’s houses, the Ba To ethnic people supported them. shack building unit. This is also the time when Political Commissar of Inter-regional Command 5 Tran Luong visited my unit twice, stayed the night with the unit, stayed up with me, told me about the “tiger pounce” that missed him before he Burn coal for a living.
It’s true that the mountains and forests are “sacred ghosts, poisonous water”, lice are full of people, so only about 2 months later 2 soldiers in my unit got malignant lightning fever, crazy Mr. Pre ran into the forest for more than 3 days without warning. find out. And I also had malignant lightning fever, but it was very severe, a few days later I “fainted” thinking of death. When I woke up, thanks to my friend Hoai Nguyen, who came to visit me when I gradually woke up.
