Once, they entered the Nam Thai forest with about a reconnaissance company, directly penetrating near the residence of the district's local army and the Tho Son guerrillas. Our troops numbered about two squads. When they discovered the enemy entering the forest, we quickly agreed on a plan to attack. Deputy company commander Am commanded the front blocking unit. Sau Chap commanded the tail blocking unit. The secret units entered the battlefield to ambush. Four enemy motorboats had entered the battlefield. Am ordered to open fire. The enemy was surprised, the two leading boats were hit by bullets and sank immediately. The remaining enemy soldiers struggled to swim, being hit by our troops' machine guns close to the water's surface, they sank one after another. The two boats following behind saw that the front was blocked and attacked, they panicked and turned around to escape, but Sau Chap's tail blocking unit shot and sank one more boat, and the other escaped.
