Ta Vai Bridge, located in Ta Vai village, Chieng Hac commune, Yen Chau district, is a famous historical relic of the province. During the resistance war against the French colonialists, the bridge not only had a meaning for people's livelihood but was also a historical relic. Ta Vai village has a bridge with 46 fierce attacks and suffered 1,272 bombs from American aircraft to cut off the main artery of Highway 6. But the bridge still stands, ensuring smooth traffic. In 1965, the American enemy used air force and commandos to frantically sabotage the North in order to prevent the North from providing support to the Southern people. On June 20, 1965, American planes dropped 6 bombs on Khau Day village (Chieng Hac, Yen Chau) and 20 rockets on Ta Vai bridge. . 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. In addition to the two main battlefields with 37 mm cannons, there is also a secondary battlefield consisting of a 12.7 mm company located in lower terrain also near Ta Vai bridge. To arrange such a battlefield, the people of Ta Vai village and the soldiers dug fortifications to build a road around the hillside to pull up artillery. Each 37 mm cannon required 200 people to pull it. To encourage morale and help soldiers fight, the people of Ta Vai village enthusiastically participated in the fighting and produced rice to contribute to the front lines. During those years, the people of Ta Vai, along with other villages in Chieng Hac commune, contributed nearly 9 tons of vegetables, 500kg of poultry, tons of food... In addition, the commune's performance team also went to the battlefield in uniform. army and militia service. 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. At the Ta Vai battlefield, the army and people of Yen Chau shot down 2 F105 planes and captured American enemy pilots with rifles, the lifeline of support for the South was always running smoothly, that victory quickly spread throughout the world. place, known throughout the country. Today, the war has receded into the past, the people of Ta Vai work hard in production and continue to contribute human and material resources to their homeland, where the Ta Vai bridge marks the crimes of American imperialism during the war. war of invasion in Vietnam.

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.

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). Although the attack on Hoc Mon Fort (later called Hoc Mon District Palace) failed, it left a deep impression in the hearts of all civilians admiring the courage of revolutionary soldiers in the fight against colonialism. steal the country.

Son La Prison was built by the French colonialists in 1908 with an initial area of 500 m2. The prison is built quite solidly: the walls are built of stone and brick, the roof is covered with corrugated iron, there is no ceiling, the beds for prisoners are also built of stone, the surface is cemented, the outside edge is attached with a system of vertical leg shackles. along the length of the floor. In each cell there is a floating toilet built higher than the floor, without a lid, without flushing water, and not cleaned regularly. With such a design, in the summer, the Lao wind of the Northwest region causes scorching heat, the frost creates cold, bone-chilling cold in the winter, combined with the polluted environment in the area. Each cell has caused diseases to arise and spread very quickly among prisoners. In 1930, the Communist Party of Vietnam was born and led the people to fight against the brutal regime of feudal colonialism. The struggle movement surprised the enemy, who frantically sought every way to suppress and arrest patriotic Vietnamese people in an attempt to quell the revolutionary movement.
