Starting from here, American aircraft continuously bombarded Yen Chau, but due to good preparation of plans to deal with America's destructive war, Yen Chau entered the war without being surprised. At this time, Ta Vai bridge became a place of fierce fighting between us and the enemy. With the determination to ensure smooth traffic flow in all situations, determined to stay at the traffic center of Ta Vai bridge, the militia and self-defense force and armed force units have always stuck to the road and bridge to ensure traffic is clear. Here, from March to December 1966, we arranged the 14th Battalion of anti-aircraft artillery to protect the Ta Vai bridge, in which Company 3, consisting of two 37mm artillery batteries, was positioned in the area of Ban Tat hill. , adjacent to Tai Vai bridge, Company 2, consisting of four 37mm guns, was arranged in a continuous position to the west of Ta Vai bridge.

Many times having to move the battlefield, the people and the soldiers used forest rope to braid to pull the artillery; used bamboo to make shacks for the soldiers and helped the soldiers dig over 3,000 meters of shelters on the battlefield with the determination to protect the transportation artery for the battlefield. The enemy destroyed bridges and roads, but the spirit of the army and people here was undeterred. Despite the roar of bombs and bullets, they still enthusiastically repaired the roads for vehicles to pass, with the emulation movement "Singing over the sound of bombs" and "Singing over the sound of bombs" and "Singing over the sound of bombs" The enemy broke it, I'll fix it. If the enemy destroys me, let me go." On December 8, 1966, the enemy organized 3 groups of planes to drop bombs on the hill where there was an anti-aircraft artillery battlefield and bombarded the Ta Vai bridge. At this time, 2 bridge spans were hit by bombs and fell into the stream and traffic on Route 6. was cut. Because the bridge was in a dangerous location, the stream was wide, the water was deep, and the enemy fought day and night, so it was very difficult to rebuild the bridge. Faced with that situation, the bridge protection unit decided to build a bypass and underground road to ensure traffic at all costs. The underground tunnel of Ta Vai bridge was built by soldiers and civilians about 1km downstream, but the enemy still discovered it and continued to bombard it. With courageous fighting spirit, the army and militia units have well secured traffic arteries. Promoting the tradition of tenacious fighting and the spirit of solidarity, the people of Ta Vai village with a boiling spirit of hatred for the invaders turned into revolutionary actions in combat and production, making an outstanding contribution to the achievements in defeating the US imperialist plot to expand the war.

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.
