In 1948, the first tunnel system appeared from this land. Then in 1960, Cu Chi guerrillas came to learn from experience and build a tunnel system in their locality. During the resistance war against America, the enemy attacked again and again, but they could not conquer the hearts of the people here. When the US imperialists massively sent expeditionary troops to directly fight in the South, in 1967, using all kinds of powerful soldiers and the most modern killing means, they launched a large-scale raid with 30,000 troops. , 400 tanks, 80 warships, 100 cannons and many types of bombers, including B52 aircraft to destroy this important target.

With the disastrous defeat, 3,200 American puppets were killed, 149 tanks and armored vehicles were destroyed, 28 planes were shot down, 2 warships were sunk and burned... In this battle, a hero emerged. sniper - Nguyen Van Duc, only 10 bullets killed 9 invaders or Vo Thi Huynh - hero of the armed forces who rolled under bombs and bullets to care for and protect wounded soldiers. After consecutive failures, the enemy was helpless, they had to call this area the "Iron Triangle" area. The Southwest Ben Cat Tunnels do not simply have a geographical meaning but are a symbol of revolution and resistance. With the rudimentary means of a hoe blade and a bamboo shovel, the soldiers and people of the three communes created a massive project with hundreds of horizontal and vertical tunnels underground, connecting the communes together like a "Village". implicit". Every family in the belt area dug tunnels and trenches connected to the tunnels, creating a continuous position to both maintain production and fight the enemy to protect the village. Connected to the tunnels, there are large tunnels for resting after battle, places to store weapons, food, drinking water, wells, cooking tunnels, working tunnels, command tunnels, and wounded nursing tunnels. soldiers. The Southwest Ben Cat Tunnels with their activities played a particularly important role in the two resistance wars, especially during the period of resistance against the Americans to save the country.

The current total area is 77,082m2, and was recognized by the state and ranked as a national historical relic on July 10, 1980. Existed for eight years (1957-1964). But with an indomitable spirit of resilience, Phu Loi prisoners united and fought heroically to victory. With the plot to invade the South, using demagoguery and terrorism to the campaign of "denouncing communism" and "destroying communism" within just 2-3 years after the Geneva Agreement, My Diem caused countless incidents. Many crimes throughout the South. By saying "it's better to catch a wrong person than miss one", they have built more prisons. Phu Loi Prison is one of the major US-Diem prisons in the South, built in mid-1957 to imprison and torture revolutionary soldiers and patriots at that time. The first number of prisoners they brought to Phu Loi was 4 women and about 100 men, and by the end of 1957 it had increased to 3,000 prisoners. They divided the prison into many areas: administrative area, soldiers' family area, An Tri Vien area - called "An Tri Vien" area but actually a prison camp. The prison area includes 3 camps: Chi Lang, Bach Dang, Dong Da. All 3 camps have 9 cells marked A,B,C,D,... each camp is separated by a thick barbed wire wall. Surrounding the three camps are two high walls, with several layers of barbed wire, and an electric lighting system at night, completely isolated from the outside. In the middle of the prison there is a high dome to observe the entire camp. There are 4 entrance gates and 4 strictly guarded bunkers around. There are two main gates: the first gate carries the sign "Phu Loi Correctional Center", the second gate carries the sign "An Tri Vien". By the end of 1958, the number of prisoners reached nearly 6,000 people, of which 1,000 were female prisoners. Prisoners from all over the country unfortunately fell into the hands of the enemy and were gathered here. The harsh regime of Phu Loi prison was no different from many other prisons at that time, eating rotten rice, rotten fish, salt, fish sauce with maggots... Living in filth, lacking water, lying in cells, tiger cages, labor forced labor for diseases without treatment... and brutal beatings... and they set up very harsh "24 prohibitions" as an excuse to beat prisoners. In the face of both terrorist and demagoguery tactics, scenes of brutal torture and extreme exile, the brothers and sisters in prison still maintained their steadfastness and strong will to fight. That is thanks to the Party's leadership and the self-discipline in cultivating and training the revolutionary moral qualities of patriots and communists. Through practical experience in the secret movement, in just a short time, Party members in the camps were able to organize communication lines with each other, and groups of Party members in secret cells were formed one after another. create. In early 1958, Phu Loi Central Party Committee was established. During their years here, the prisoners were directed by our Party's secret organization. The Representative Board, the Tam Giao Team, or the Compatriots in each prison act as the core of the struggle, step by step fighting with the enemy demanding to improve life, against repression, and against torture of prisoners. It's all thanks to the steadfastness of the members of the Communist Party of Vietnam. Phu Loi Prison became a proof of US and puppet crimes in South Vietnam; This place is a symbol of the courage of party officials, revolutionary comrades and patriots who fell in prison for independence, freedom, peace and happiness for their homeland.

When Tran Tu Ca took office as Governor of the Palace, he used the Station as the Palace of Binh Long district. Originally a cunning drunkard of the French colonialists, Tran Tu Ca was led by a group led by Mr. Phan Van Hon (Quan Hon) and Nguyen Van Qua (Chanh Lanh Binh) of nearly 1,000 insurgents who came to burn the District Palace, captured and head cut off in the middle of the market. That was February 8, 1885, At Dau Tet. Afterwards, Hoc Mon District Palace was rebuilt with a blue stone foundation, brick walls, and a defense system from the upper floors to the fence. The architecture is similar to the Military Fort, so the locals call it Hoc Mon Fort. Tran took over from Tran Tu Ca as Governor of Ngon district, moving to Tra District and then Tho District. This was a long period of time when the people of the Hoc Mon region suffered from many cruel and despicable scenes from the French colonialists and their oligarchic henchmen mentioned above. With the indomitable tradition of Hoc Mon people. On June 4, 1930, around 6 a.m. in front of the District Palace, hundreds of Hoc Mon people protested demanding "abolition of poll tax, reduction of license and market taxes, and granting land to poor farmers." Tra District invited the leaders into the Palace to negotiate, but they cunningly arrested them, including Mr. Le Van Uoi (Secretary of Tan Thoi Nhi Commune), who was the leader of the protest. People were undaunted and fiercely demanded that Tea District release those detained. The protest group became more and more crowded, the fighting spirit spread somewhat, causing Tra District to give in. On the one hand, they released the detained people, on the other hand, they called the officials in Saigon for help. 2 hours later, the struggle was led by two men, Blachole and Nobbot, who opened fire on the protest group, causing many casualties. But the most impressive historical event at Hoc Mon District Palace was the Southern Uprising on November 23, 1940. Hoc Mon Fort is very solid, built of green stone like a fortress, about 15 meters high, has a gun emplacement and a defense system with battlements guarded by a platoon of green soldiers. On November 22, 1940, France reinforced one more platoon to deal with the situation. On the afternoon of November 22, 1940, Mr. Do Van Coi's army broke into the town, disguised as civilians, ambushed behind the Station waiting for orders to rob the Station. Another army wing has the task of destroying bridges, cutting down trees blocking roads, and occupying offices and houses... The army wing from Phuoc Vinh An, Tan Thong, Tan An Hoi, Tan Phu Trung is led by Mr. Pham Van Sang and Dang Cong Binh commanded, started from Ben Do hamlet, attacked the house, killed 1 person, collected 4 guns, and took control of the situation here (Tan Phu Trung). Immediately this army was ordered to pull back to Hoc Mon. The Long Tuy Thuong army was commanded by Mr. Bui Van Hoat. The army of General Long Tuy Trung was commanded by Mr. Do Van Day and Le Binh Dang. At around 24:00 on the night of November 22, 1940, the sound of artillery fire had not yet been heard in Saigon. After consulting, the army commanders united to attack the enemy's post. Immediately the troops headed straight to Fort Hoc Mon, where District Chief Bui Ngoc Tho resided. Two insurgents named Nghe and Kinh volunteered to enter the front gate and sacrificed their lives. Insurgents from all directions rushed into the Fort like water bursting its banks. Faced with the power of the insurgents and the masses, the soldiers in the Station no longer had the spirit to resist and fled in disarray. The insurgents completely occupied the inside of the station, but upstairs, the enemy still stubbornly used guns to shoot sporadically, at the same time calling Saigon and Thu Dau Mot for emergency help. Because he was eager to capture the name of Tho District, comrade Do Van Day climbed up to the upper floor of the Station by clinging to the gutter. Halfway up, he was hit by bullets, the comrade fell and died later. The battle was at a standstill when enemy reinforcements arrived. Unable to hold out, the insurgents withdrew from the town, dispersed to the villages, the armed forces withdrew to Ben Do hamlet (Tan Phu Trung) and then moved to My Hanh hamlet (Duc Hoa).
