The story of two brothers on the border battlefield
(Baonghean.vn) - Among the many stories about the war to protect the southwestern border, we were fortunate to hear the story of two brothers - two soldiers who fought side by side on the battlefield that year.
In November 1977, Le Trong Dung (1960) was only a few months away from turning 18. In mid-November, Hai Trieu hamlet, Nghi Hai commune, Nghi Loc district (now Nghi Hai ward, Cua Lo town) was bustling with the atmosphere of the military recruitment festival. Dung heard his older brother Le Trong Hung (1958) say excitedly: My name is on the list to join the army in the Southwest battlefield! Hung and Dung were the third and fourth sons in the family; the eldest and second brothers had participated in the resistance war against the US. The "blood" of a soldier was flowing in his veins, Dung said: You go, I go too! So, the two brothers got on a bus, together with 1,200 new recruits from Nghi Loc district, waving goodbye to their hometown, full of enthusiasm to set off to protect the Fatherland's borders.
