Those men were very good at running and climbing high mountains, even our men can't climb like them
U'd better learn another things instead of running fast and climbing well, it doesn't help you survive in real battles

Hearing me mention the incident of capturing the Chinese mountain company, Pham Minh Hung pondered:
– Our battalion and the new battalion from iron and steel together with local militia deployed plans to cooperate in combat, determined not to let the enemy commit crimes. Discovered a group of Chinese soldiers holding a mountain, due to the steep terrain of cat's ears, the scouts could not reach the target, so the number was estimated at about one platoon. Attacking this mountain is very difficult and can result in heavy casualties. The North Thai 4th Battalion command board arranged a tight encirclement and tried to destroy it. Comrade North, a political officer of the C23 artillery company, a former Chinese teacher, was assigned to hold a loudspeaker to call on the enemy to surrender. At this time, the North Thai 5th Battalion to reinforce the front also marched in.
On the afternoon of March 14, a Chinese soldier held a white flag down the mountain. The soldier said that his company had about 100 people on the mountain, and asked to surrender. Suggest we let people negotiate. The battalion command did not accept negotiations and allowed the surrender on condition that all weapons were left in place, not to plant mines, carry white flags and raise their hands to the sky to walk a line down the mountain.
Platoon 1, belonging to our 2nd company, commanded by comrade Dao Ngoc Khoa, the platoon leader, was assigned to capture prisoners (At that time on the battlefield the soldiers called them remnants). Two scout soldiers escorted the soldier up the mountain to contact his accomplices. We are in a ready-to-battle position in case they turn around. After a while, all the soldiers came out, 104 in all. I
t was very difficult for us to get to the top of the mountain because it was jagged with rocks, it was impossible to imagine how they got there. From here, the enemy could observe the entire terrain of the area, they certainly saw clearly that our army and people deployed a battle formation, in which there were quite a few soldiers from the North Thai 5th Battalion that had just gathered. At the place where they hid their troops, weapons and personal belongings were scattered everywhere. No one knows if they are really lost or too scared. If participating in the war, this company has no chance to return. Around 5 p.m. the entire company of Chinese soldiers was captured alive.
