Tung Luat Wharf Relic (Wharf B)
Tung Luat wharf is one of the particularly famous historical relics, making an important contribution to our people's fight against the French. On January 6, 1950, right at the wharf, Regiment 95 and Company 354 crossed the river and defeated the French at Cua Tung station. Thereby affirming the strength, stubborn fighting will and fighting spirit for national liberation of our army and people. Under the leadership of the Party, the army and people of the eastern communes of Vinh Linh and Gio Linh joined forces to destroy the raids of the French enemy, eliminating hundreds of French soldiers and puppets from combat, destroying many military vehicles. their modernity. Tung Luat wharf has completed its historic mission, serving as a bridge between the North and South banks, contributing together with the people of the country to defeat the invasion plot of the French colonialists. On July 21, 1954, the Geneva Agreement was signed, it seemed that the country would enjoy peace and independence, however, Tung Luat wharf had to enter pages of history filled with blood and tears. The anti-American and puppet history of Tung Luat wharf began with night ferry trips, secretly bringing soldiers and military intelligence officers to the South to operate in the years 1956-1965. On those boats, there was a special guest secretly welcomed across the river, First Secretary Le Duan. Having suffered bitter defeats by the Saigon puppet government against the revolutionary movement in the South, American troops directly participated in the war. Tung Luat wharf once again became the focus of the battle between justice and brutality. With the code name "B ferry", Tung Luat ferry is a bridge connecting the north and south banks of Hien Luong river, one of the starting points of the Ho Chi Minh road on the sea, the starting point of the only traffic route. connecting the mainland with the heroic Con Co island. Tung Luat Village Militia Company was established with 110 soldiers, with the task of protecting the wharf, transporting soldiers, militiamen, firemen, and food, weapons, and ammunition. Ferry station B transports fire brigades of communes: Vinh Long, Vinh Tan, Vinh Trung, Vinh Tu, Vinh Thanh, Vinh Hoa... across the river to the South to serve the attack on hill bases 31, 28 , Quan Ngang, Cua Viet. Also during this fierce war, B Tung Luat Ferry Station was assigned the additional task of transporting and evacuating people in the southern area of Ben Hai River to the North. B Tung Luat ferry station can transport nearly 1.4 million soldiers, militiamen, and civilians across the fire line. This same wharf was the starting point of Company 22, a suicide unit transporting weapons, ammunition, medicine, and food to Con Co Island, which was blockaded by the US Navy and the Saigon government. Every night, when there are storms and rough seas, each boat carries a squad of militiamen who are remembered alive before boarding the boat to the island. The militiamen, who were originally gentle fishermen, suddenly became soldiers, ready to let "The waves call our souls back to the small island". With wooden boats and bamboo boats sailing and rowing through the night at times of rough seas, from 1965 to 1972, Company 22 transported thousands of tons of ammunition, weapons, food, and supplies to Con Co Island, contributing to maintaining the Fatherland's outpost in the East Sea. Ferry station B was the most impermanent point of life and death in the country during the war against America and national salvation. Countless children of Tung Luat land and many other rural areas of the country have stayed here with blood and bones mixed with Hien Luong River water and sand and mud of this river bottom. Thanks to the great contributions in the two wars against the French and the Americans to save the country, in 1996, the Tung Luat wharf historical relic was recognized and ranked by our state as a national historical relic. To engrave the achievements of the army and people who fought and sacrificed heroically, at this wharf the monument of wharf B was built. The monument was built on an area of about 100m2. However, according to historical witnesses and researchers, the scale of the monument's structure and soul are not really commensurate with the great feats of our army and people, especially the sacrifices of so many people. soldiers on this land. Therefore, the officers and people of Tung Luat village, the people of Vinh Giang, Vinh Linh and soldiers from many parts of the country who fought here, those who have children, and children who have stayed here, very much wish and recommend. Recommend local authorities and authorities of Quang Tri province to soon research, renovate and upgrade the historical relic of B Tung Luat wharf to match the heroic historical achievements of this place.
