- Winning, won!
He quickly took the news report and gave it to two announcers Cao Thi Hy and Nguyen Thi Hoi who were on duty, then urged:
- Read it now, Saigon has liberated.
At once and thirty minutes, the Voice of Vietnam from Hanoi broadcast the news of Saigon liberation, but at the construction site, all workers in Deo Nai could not hear this news. Mr. Nguyen Quang Tu quickly recorded it and sent the expressway to Mo Radio Station.
Both radio beings are extremely nervous, who read the victory newsletter broadcast live on the loudspeaker system of the mine. Although only played back, the heart beat hard, trembling hands. The two of them clenched their hands and kept calm. With a high voice, strong, specializing in the alarms: "The people pay attention, there is a group of airplanes from the sea, quickly go down to the tunnel, the self -defense forces to the battle position ..." Nguyen Thi Nguyen Thi Boi now trembled, unable to read. Touched, Cao Thi Hy held her breath, calmly read: "Please hear the news we have just received. At 11:30 am, our troops entered Saigon, captured the Independence Palace, the General Staff Department, Duong Van Minh surrendered unconditionally. The red flag fluttered on the roof of the Independence Palace.
The louditude of the radio is like a rat's voice, placed on a hill one hundred meters high, emitting sounds throughout the mountains and forests. At the same time, cars and excavators on the coal layers were blowing the whistle. After stopping work, everyone hugged and danced to the melody of "Nhu co ho trong day vui ngan cong" issued from a record player, running with needles, calling for a tour.
Following that special news was news about the escape of the Americans and the Vietnamese army in the Republic: "The chaos and congestion in Saigon that has delayed the evacuation of six thousand Americans is a situation that has frightened Ambassador Graham Martin... We may have lost, but not only we have lost. The Americans also lost."
The statements of the generals of the defeated Vietnamese Republic made the whole world laugh. The Vietnamese people are even more proud.
Excavator drivers Ngo Dan, Tran Van Sinh, and To Van To walked over nine hundred steps from the top of the mountain to the mine hall.
The conveyor belt system suddenly stopped, coal was scattered. The director shouted to bat them to clean up. Besides, there is nothing happier than victory. Without the flag, the girls took off the scented scarves they were wearing on their heads, running and shouting. The "golden dragon" on Bai Tu Long beach sparkles with all kinds of colors, celebrating the victory.
The entire mine area, people and workers excitedly poured into the streets. Red flags with yellow stars fly, red streets are bright red.
In the Deo Nai mine hall and outside the yard, packed with people. Without a stage or loudspeaker, standing next to a large coal bar - a symbol of the miners, Mr. To Tu Song, commander of the emulation campaign, Saigon's voice spoke gently and emotionally, saying:
"Saigon has been liberated, my city has been liberated, the country is clean of invaders. The North and South are all in one, no more bombs and bullets".
Thanh was, he wiped away his tears, the whole forest of silent people just heard the sound of the whistle. After a moment, Mr. Song slowly said:
"It has been twenty years since my parents and children divorced. The country is divided, guns and bullets are deadly, causing pain, leaving behind and leaving behind. In this sacred and joyful moment, we, the miners in the North, should hold hands and join hands to join large arms, prevent war, and steadfastly step up to build the country. I will tell my compatriots this miracle and legend".
Stronger, Mr. Song held his hand high, as if shouting the slogan: "The production goal of the Deo Nai coal mine must strive to reach one million tons of coal this year to build a unified country. Are we determined?"
The whole forest of people shouted: "Determination, determination...".
Mr. To Tu Song got on the command vehicle, following the route were dozens of vehicles carrying workers to the construction site. The emulation campaign "One million tons of coal, welcoming the country's reunification" begins.
The whole country was cheerful, the name "unified" was placed everywhere, such as Thong Nhat coal mine, Thong Nhat Park, Thong Nhat bicycle company, Thong Nhat Stadium, Thong Nhat train, Thong Nhat train and the journey also named Thong Nhat. The Thong Nhat ship was built in Germany, named Kronprins Harald (Prince Harald), the most modern at that time, transporting passengers with a capacity of more than eight hundred people to the South to the North a week like a shuttle.
In previous years, the Northeast Coal Basin has sparked many emulation movements for the Southern region: "Dac To Campaign" gained momentum to move forward to implement the first 5-year plan in 1960 still5. Thousands of workers took to the streets to protest Ngo Dinh Diem island, dragging a machine to slash and kill the patriotic Southern people. Many construction sites and workshops have the names of famous places: "Binh Gia Construction Site" at Coc Sau Coal mine, Khanh Hoa Coal mine in Thai Nguyen...
The Northeast Coal Basin from West to East, stretching hundreds of kilometers from the East to the East, has formed an American battlefield with many mixed-use clusters, with anti-aircraft artillery, ground artillery, mobile infantry units, logistics and medical forces serving the combat. Mines and construction sites have established companies, battalions, regrades and self-defense divisions. The battlefields are always in constant combat, firmly protecting the Fatherland's sacred land and sky, maintaining production and safety for the people and workers, and shooting down more than three hundred enemy aircraft.
In July 1967, for the first time, the coal industry mobilized 2,000 volunteer miners to enter the South to fight, named "Coal Corps". This name went into the history of the coal industry as a legend in the war against the US and saved the country. The miners who were eager to volunteer to enlist in the army. Many people deducted blood, wrote the letter of Thu Thu and asked his teammates to hold the gun to the battle line. The BBC reported: "There is a special forces of the Vietnamese army, including the entire kiln from the mine area that is marching to the South." So the US military tried to bomb and kill the coal army on the march, in order to stop a elite force, high discipline, good health on the road towards the front line ... but they were wrong. The soldier soldiers made many resounding feats throughout the southern battlefield.
In 1972, the US Imperial Force launched an escalation campaign to destroy the mine area. Thousands of aircraft dropped tens of thousands of bombs at factories, mines and residential areas. Hon Gai mechanical factories, Cam Pha mechanical factories, Cua Ong Coal Selection Enterprise... had to move to the evacuation site. Thousands of roofs are crushed, the streets are devastated and return to the stone age.
Bai Chay ferry is the arterial road, which is the American focus to choose to raid all day and night. Under the command of the company commander Dang Ba Hat, the Hon Gai coal recruitment factory had hit many battles, shot down an American plane, removed and destroyed thousands of bombs. In the last battle, Dang Ba sang was pierced by a piece of bomb, holding the wound tightly, the other still waved the flag and shouted: shooting! But the wound was too serious, Dang Ba Sing had sacrificed heroic hero at the turret ...
Throughout the mining area from Deo Nai, Cua Ong to Vang Danh, Uong Bi, miners have raised their examples of resilience and indomitable fighting against the American invaders "For the Southern region, the heart is the Son, the country is unified".
Every year, miners have made millions of tons of coal for the Fatherland, sacrificing blood and bones for the great war against the US to save the country and unify the country. That steadfast, indomitable air will live forever, resounding throughout the five continents, engraved deeply in the hearts of miners from generation to generation.
