President Ho Chi Minh instructed the Team to develop a plan to organize a battle to "encourage the revolutionary fighting spirit of an enslaved nation, seething with the will to rise up", at the same time " overcome the situation of lack of weapons and equipment". Under the command of comrade Vo Nguyen Giap, the Team discussed carefully to clarify the issue: "Where to attack and how to attack, so that with only a small force we can win a great political victory." political and military, while limiting the loss of our people and weapons. After discussing options, the Team Command decided "to raid the enemy's camp to capture ammunition", the goal. Targets are Phai Khat and Na Ngan stations. The garrison force consisted of two squads, under the direct command of comrade Van (Vo Nguyen Giap). In addition, there was also the participation of guerrillas and local Viet Minh officers on duty to guard the roads leading to the village. In order to break in smoothly, comrade Vo Nguyen Giap prepared a fake patrol permit with a red stamp to serve in the battle. On the afternoon of February 24, the forces participating in the battle disguised themselves as soldiers and marched to Phai Khat. After receiving news that Station Chief Simono was going to the capital of Nguyen Binh, at 5:00 p.m. on February 25, "Squad" Thu Son led his troops into the station easily. The team quickly divided into two prongs: Platoon 1 captured the gun storage area, Platoon 2 surrounded the station. While the enemy had not yet reacted, comrade Thu Son shouted: "Rat-sam-mang" (gather), 17 soldiers and the commander gathered in the middle of the yard. The enemy was surprised and could not react in time and quickly surrendered. The battle took place quickly, and Simono returning from Nguyen Binh was also destroyed.

After defeating Phai Khat post, on the night of December 25, the Team urgently marched to Cam Ly commune (15km from Phai Khat), where Na Ngan post was located. The team learned from experience and praised the comrades for completing the task well, and at the same time disseminated the attack plan the next day. Due to the dangerous terrain of Na Ngan station, the Team decided to disguise themselves as a group of soldiers and red loincloth soldiers to escort three Man Communists to hand over to the station. The force attacking Na Ngan garrison was all members who participated in attacking Phai Khat garrison. At around 7:00 a.m. on December 26, comrade Thu Son and the volunteer team led three tied communists into the station along with the tricolor flag (the team got it at Phai Khat station). The soldiers thought they were in a hurry to arrange 6 soldiers and the commander to line up to welcome them according to military protocol.

Platoon 2 blocked the station gates, then divided into groups to capture prisoners. Platoon 3 fired into the air while calling for the enemy to surrender. At the end of the battle, we destroyed 5 people, captured 17 people, and collected 27 guns and many bullets. In this battle, comrade Nong Van Be was slightly injured. After taking down the station, the Team quickly collected guns, ammunition, documents and distributed leaflets and banners to the people. The group of prisoners of war was gathered in the middle of the yard. Two female comrades Cam and Thanh explained in Tay language to them to understand the Viet Minh's policy of fighting the French and Japanese to save the country, calling on them to turn their guns on France and Japan to win independence for the nation. After hearing the policies of the Viet Minh, some prisoners of war asked to join the revolution and most asked to return home. In the first two battles, the Team used the tactic of "attacking with a disguised raid (raid), which excellently opened the tactical history of the Vietnam People's Army". Training disguise is a way of fighting that uses few guns and bullets, has low casualties but is highly effective in combat. In the first two battles, in addition to destroying and capturing all enemy soldiers in the station, the Team also captured many weapons and military equipment. Most importantly, the team won in accordance with leader Ho Chi Minh's directive "The first match must be successful". Source: Cao Bang electronic information portal

The east side faces the Trieu - Hai plain, which is very convenient for communication with the lowlands. On the other sides, there are roads leading through Laos and to the North in case of retreat, so this place has been chosen by the feudal monarchy through the ages as a border guard post and mountain guard station.

Pho Minh Tower Pagoda
Pho Minh Pagoda, whose name is Pho Minh Tu, is a pagoda located in Tuc Mac village, Loc Vuong ward, Nam Dinh city. Based on the ordination stele as well as ancient bibliographies, the pagoda was built during the Ly dynasty, and in 1262 the Tran dynasty expanded to a more grand scale. In 2012, Pho Minh Pagoda was ranked by the Prime Minister as a special National Monument. Because in front of Pho Minh Pagoda there is a tower, the pagoda is also known as Chua Thap, the Tower is also known as Pho Minh Tower. Pho Minh Tower is a unique architectural work. This is the largest, oldest and most intact tower in Vietnam. The book Nam Dinh Province Geography by author Khieu Nang Tinh records about the pagoda as follows: "During the Tran Dynasty, King Nhan Tong restored his residence as a monk. When the king died, Anh Tong built a 14-storey tower, 53 meters high, with 10 meters on each side to house the relics. During the Tay Son period, the governor of this region broke the top of the bronze gourd tower. When we reached the 13th floor where the stone was, we saw an object shaped like a red ribbon flying into the sky, so we stopped destroying it..." In addition, among the people, there is also a saying of Buddha Emperor Tran Nhan Tong: “No matter who competes for the throne I would like to send back this handful of temple bones." Therefore, researchers believe that this is a tomb tower. Currently in the country there are only three towers built during the Tran Dynasty: Pho Minh tower (Nam Dinh), Hue Quang tower (Yen Tu, Quang Ninh) and Binh Son tower (Lap Thach, Vinh Phuc), but Pho Tower Minh is still the more majestic tower, with the most elaborate, artistic, and technical construction. The tower was built right in front of the worshiping house on the North - South axis. The tower has a total height of 19.51m including 1 palanquin and 13 floors. The tower is built on a small square yard, each side is 8.6m and located 0.45m lower than the ground. The palanquin is the base of the tower designed entirely of green stone, each side is 5.20m long. At the foot of the tower there is a lotus flower with large petals and small petals, gradually tilting towards the corner of the tower from the middle, symbolizing a lotus platform holding a palanquin. The lower part of the stone pedestal is shaped to curve up on both sides, making people mistakenly think it is due to the rock sinking, but in fact, the construction was intended to create momentum for the more than a dozen floors above to have the same curvature. Looking at the entire tower, people will think of a Lotus flower rising and blooming in the middle of a lake. From the palanquin and above, there are 13-storey towers built of red bricks with 4 gates: East, West, South, North. Previously, all the floors had exposed Dragon motifs and beautifully decorated flowers and leaves. The higher the tower floors went, the smaller the height and width of the tower's face became. At the top of the tower was a cube with the shape of an unbloomed lotus flower made of old terracotta. Unfortunately, in the early years of the twentieth century, when repairing the tower, people placed a coat of cement material on the outside of the tower, causing the patterns on the bricks to be lost. In 1987, because some of the upper tower floors were cracked by tree roots, the cultural sector repaired and restored them. During the renovation process, people discovered that on the 11th and 12th floors of the tower, there was a stone sarcophagus surrounding a bronze box, which according to people's legend, could be the box containing the relics of Buddha Emperor Tran Nhan Tong. . Pho Minh Tower has existed for 7 centuries. Despite experiencing many storms and natural disasters, the tower is still preserved almost intact, becoming a rare wonder that makes it unique not only for the city. Pho Minh Pagoda but also Nam Dinh province in general. Source: Management Board of Historical-Cultural Relics Tran Temple and Thap Pagoda

According to the book "Complete History of Dai Viet" and traces and relics found in the pagoda area, Van Phuc pagoda was built between the 7th and 10th centuries. Right from the beginning, Tien Son Pagoda was the gathering place and stopping place of the first missionaries from India to our country and highly enlightened Zen masters. However, it was not until the Ly Dynasty (1010-1025) that the model of living and practicing at the pagoda became clear and large-scale because at this time the pagoda became a national temple and also the homeland of the Ly dynasty kings. In 1041, Ly Thai Tong built Tu Thi Thien Phuc Institute and cast a 7,560-kg statue of Amitabha Buddha to worship.

There is also a story that in 1129, under the reign of King Ly Than Tong, 84,000 terracotta stupas were inaugurated, placed in many places throughout the country, 80,000 stupas were placed in Phat Tich alone, so the mountain range in Phat Tich is named Bat Van Son. From 1073 to 1210, the dynasties of King Ly Anh Tong and Ly Cao Tong all visited Thien Phuc National Temple. During the Tran Dynasty (1228 - 1400), Thien Phuc Pagoda was still the national temple but was renamed Van Phuc. In 1279 - 1280, King Tran Nhan Tong built Bao Hoa palace. After its inauguration, the king compiled Bao Hoa's poetry collection consisting of 8 volumes to commemorate.

The pagoda is also the place to record the mark of a famous Chinese Zen master - Zen master Chuyet Chuyet. From 1635 - 1644, Zen Master Chuyet Cong came to practice at Phat Tich Pagoda, and Lord Trinh Trang, King Le Huyen Tong and the servants all respected him. Lord Trinh Trang wanted more Buddhist scriptures to circulate in the country, so the Zen master sent his disciple Minh Hanh to China to request the scriptures. The scriptures were brought back, some were engraved for dissemination, the rest and the engravings were stored at Phat Tich Pagoda. During the reign of Le Trung Hung (1686), the pagoda was degraded, the Le kings restored it to its old scale, calling it Phat Tich Pagoda (literally called Van Phuc). During the Nguyen Dynasty, Phat Tich Pagoda was last renovated. From 1949 - 1952, the French occupied Phat Tich Pagoda and completely destroyed this national pagoda, leaving only the brick foundation, some Patriarch statues, and a few other Dharma objects. In 1959, Phat Tich Pagoda was built by the State. Rebuilt on a small scale to preserve the remaining relics.

This is one of the four ancient Champa citadels in Binh Dinh, once the economic and political center of this area from the 8th to the 15th century. Cha Citadel is located south of the Vijaya citadel, now in the territory of An Thanh village, Nhon Loc commune, An Nhon district - Binh Dinh. Located on a high strip of land on the south bank of the Kon River, Cha Citadel consists of two large and small citadels built close to each other (also known as the inner citadel and outer citadel), both with a rectangular plan. In the large citadel area, pairs of citadel walls face each other with negligible length differences. When building, the ancients relied on the direction of the Kon River, so the length of the northern wall was about 100m longer than the southern one. The east and west pair of walls are nearly 350m long, while the north and south pair of walls are nearly 950m long. Except for the north side of the citadel, which was mostly eroded due to its proximity to the Kon River, the remaining sides are relatively intact. In the northwest corner of the citadel area, there are also traces of a rectangular campus, surrounded by a brick mound in which a very large number of remaining bricks and tiles with thresholds and door pillars of different sizes are found. large, especially with many yin-yang bricks and roof tiles - decorative architectural materials only found in the old capital of Champa like Tra Kieu. In this area, people discovered a beautiful bust of the goddess Kabera Yakshini along with elaborate reliefs made of terracotta, proving the real existence of an architecture. urban. The small citadel is located back-to-back with the large citadel in the northwest direction, with a width of 134m and a length of 240m. An interesting thing here is that the creator of this ancient Buddhist citadel deliberately arranged two large and small citadels in a continuous pattern, shown in the fact that the eastern wall of the small citadel is also a part of the wall. To the west of the big citadel, another section is added. In this small citadel, no trace of the wall was found on the north side and it used the Kon River as a moat to create a shield to protect the citadel. This shows that the small citadel was arranged by ancient people as an outpost of the large citadel, a very important waterway transportation route. Citadel Cha is a citadel that also has many other names in folk culture such as Citadel Hoi, Citadel Ho Xu, Citadel Bac, Citadel Cu... but the most common name is Citadel Cha. The large citadel is located to the east. The north side of the wall runs west-east, 947m long, 3 to 5m wide, and currently about 1m high. In the middle of the citadel wall, there is an 8m high mound, gradually sloping towards the two sides of the citadel, called the Flag Pillar Mound. The southern wall has a similar length, but has been eroded, remaining only slightly above ground level. The most visible relics are the two eastern and western walls. The eastern wall runs north-south, is 345m long with an average height of 4m, and the wall is over 30m wide. The western wall has the same length and height, but the surface is narrower, about 7 to 10 meters. The northwest corner of the large citadel is surrounded by two sections of the citadel wall, one running from the Flagpole mound to the south with a length of 240m and a section perpendicular to it running to the west, connecting with the western wall of the large citadel to form a rectangular campus. In the middle of this campus there is a large mound of bricks, the remains of a collapsed structure. The smaller rectangular citadel is located adjacent to the northwest of the large citadel with a length of 440m and a width of 134m.
