Revolutionary historical relic Water factory station

Revolutionary historical relic Vung Tau water plant station is located on April 30 Street, Ward 9, Vung Tau City, between Tran Nguyen Han High School and Ba Ria - Vung Tau Water Supply Joint Stock Company. Although the water plant station is only a modest-sized relic, it leaves behind historical values ​​of the revolutionary struggle with many fierce battles, raising the spirit of independence of our army and people. The Vung Tau Water Plant Station relic is located about 50m from the intersection of Nguyen An Ninh - Pham Hong Thai - April 30 (Water Well intersection). This monument is about 5m long, 3.7m wide, nearly 4m high, built of stone, brick, lime, cement, iron and steel and wood. This is a small military structure, divided into two floors, separated by a wooden floor, with battlements facing four directions. During the war, the terrain of Vung Tau (O Cap) was militarily important, so the occupying French army began building a port and airport as soon as they arrived in Vung Tau. At that time, in this land surrounded by the sea, fresh water was an extremely valuable resource, so the French built a water supply system (drilled wells, water filtration plants...) right near the intersection. from Vung Tau City Water Well today. To protect the airport, port and water supply system for the whole Vung Tau, the French army set up a military station right next to the water plant, so it was called the Water Plant Station. This post was occupied by security forces with about a company of troops, equipped with strong firepower, blocking the gateway to Vung Tau at that time. At that time, the enemy strictly controlled the movement of people in this area, making the activities of our army and people difficult. Therefore, the water plant station became a target that needed to be destroyed by the revolutionary armed forces. In 1948, the Level Action Committee, the Assault Police, the 51st Reconnaissance Team and the forces of the Level Town Squad attacked the Water Plant Station twice, destroyed the station, and confiscated 150 guns of all kinds. The battles to attack the Water Plant Station were all very fierce, contributing to the loss of enemy manpower and firepower, marking victories in the history of the revolutionary struggle of the army and people of Ba Ria-Vung Tau province in the past. In 1985, on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the establishment of Vung Tau - Con Dao Special Zone, the special zone government built a relief in front of the water plant station commemorating the victory of two battles in 1948. At the same time, attaching The sign is engraved with content introducing the historical value of attacking this military site. On August 4, 1992, the Ministry of Culture and Information recognized Vung Tau Water Plant Station as a National-level revolutionary historical relic. Source: Ba Ria - Vung Tau electronic newspaper
