The history of Ben Thanh Market is associated with the ups and downs of Saigon - Cho Lon urban area. The market was built in 1912 and has undergone many restorations and relocations to get its current appearance and position. Initially, the market was located on the bank of Ben Nghe River, where there was a river wharf for soldiers and people to enter and exit Gia Dinh citadel (Quy Thanh, Bat Quai citadel), so it was called Ben Thanh Market. After the uprising of Le Van Khoi (1833-1835), Gia Dinh citadel was demolished, Ben Thanh Market was also deserted. After the French attacked Saigon (February 1859), the market was completely burned down. In 1860, the French rebuilt Ben Thanh Market at the old location. After many restorations, the market gradually became more spacious with a system of brick columns, iron ribs, tiled roofs, etc. At the beginning of the twentieth century, the French rebuilt the new Ben Thanh Market at today's location between 1912 and 1914, with the iconic clock attached to the south door. In front of the main door (south door) is Ben Thanh Market Roundabout, also known as Dien Hong Square, Quach Thi Trang Square... In 1952, when renovating the market, 12 bas-reliefs of the Bien Hoa fine arts workshop were installed at the four market doors. Since then, the image of Ben Thanh Market has become familiar and close, becoming an urban cultural memory of the city. Source: Ho Chi Minh City Law Electronic Newspaper

Turtle Lake in the center of Ho Chi Minh City is officially called International Construction Site, which is the intersection of Pham Ngoc Thach, Tran Cao Van and Vo Van Tan streets. There are many restaurants, bars, and cafes around the lake, so this area is always bustling from morning to night. The original location of Turtle Lake in 1790 was the Kham Khuyet citadel gate of Bat Quai citadel (also known as Quy citadel) built by order of King Gia Long. However, after the rebellion of Le Van Khoi (1833-1835), King Minh Mang destroyed Bat Quai citadel and built a smaller citadel named Phung citadel (Gia Dinh citadel). The location of Kham Khuyet gate became a point outside the citadel and directly connected the road outside the west side of the citadel to the river wharf (Road No. 16 - Catinat and now Dong Khoi). After capturing Saigon in 1859, the French destroyed the entire Gia Dinh citadel. In 1878, a water tower was built at the location of Turtle Lake today to serve the needs of providing drinking water for residents in the area. By 1921, the water tower was demolished and the road was expanded to Mayer Street (now Vo Thi Sau Street). From then on, this location became the intersection of routes as it is today. Also at this location, the French built a bronze monument of three soldiers with a small lake, to mark the invasion and symbolize the French mastery of Indochina. Therefore, people often call it Ba Hinh Construction Site. These monuments existed until 1956 when they were demolished by the Government of the Republic of Vietnam, leaving only a small lake. The intersection was also renamed Soldier Field. After the French withdrew from Vietnam, the Soldiers' Construction site became a traffic circle of Duy Tan (now Pham Ngoc Thach) and Tran Quy Cap (now Vo Van Tan - Tran Cao Van) streets. The time when Turtle Lake was built has not been determined exactly, but some documents say it was built in 1965-1967. The designer is architect Nguyen Ky. In the years 1970 to 1974, Turtle Lake was restored and embellished by the government of the Republic of Vietnam. This includes the addition and adjustment of 5 tall concrete columns shaped like five hands spreading out like flower petals supporting a pistil. This new project also includes a traffic circle with a diameter of nearly 100 meters, decorated with green trees and a large octagonal fountain with 4 spiral walkways leading to the central area and the shape of the lake. alloy turtle statue on the back of a large stone stele. Therefore, the folk name is Turtle Lake. Initially, this intersection was named Freedom Fighters Construction Site, and in 1972 it was renamed International Construction Site. However, in early 1976, the stele and the turtle were destroyed in an explosion. Although the turtle was no longer there, people were still familiar with the old name instead of the official name. Due to its rather strange architecture, Turtle Lake is associated with the legend of protecting the dragon's veins of President of the Republic of Vietnam Nguyen Van Thieu. According to author Huynh Ba Thanh's account in the book The Turtle Lake Case (Tuoi Tre Publishing House 1982), there is an oral anecdote that in 1967 when General Nguyen Van Thieu became president of the Republic of Vietnam, invited a famous Chinese feng shui master to examine the situation at the Independence Palace. This feng shui master praised the palace for being built on a dragon vein. This dragon has its head located right at the Independence Palace (so the Independence Palace is also called the Dragon Head Palace) and its tail is located at the Soldiers' Square. Although prosperous, the dragon's tail often struggled, so his career was not sustainable. It was necessary to cast a large turtle to restrain the dragon's tail from struggling, in order to maintain the presidential position for a long time. Therefore, Mr. Nguyen Van Thieu listened and built an octagonal lake, modeled after the eight trigram formation, a feng shui symbol often used to ward off ancient people, and placed a large turtle. cast in bronze right in the middle of the lake. For that reason, many people believe that the tall tower architecture resembles the shape of a sword or a giant nail hammered into the lake to hold the dragon's tail, and the lake grounds are shaped like a bagua, with a yin and yang shape in the middle. .

Chi Hoa Prison, also known as Chi Hoa Prison, located in District 10, Ho Chi Minh City, is a prison built by the French in 1943 to replace the Saigon Prison at the corner of Ly Tu Trong - Nam Ky Khoi Nghia streets. The project is said to have been initiated by the Japanese after the French coup to detain prisoners, but when construction was not completed, they withdrew from Vietnam. After that, the French continued the unfinished work. Almost all materials such as cement, iron, and steel were shipped from France. On March 8, 1953, when the Chi Hoa Prison was completely built, the Saigon Grand Prison was demolished. In addition to some released prisoners, the remaining about 1,600 people and the guillotine were transferred to Chi Hoa Prison. With an area of 7 hectares, Chi Hoa Clinic has 3 floors and 238 rooms. There are two rows of houses for female prisoners. This place used to hold political prisoners against the French colonialists and the Republic of Vietnam regime. Today, this place is reserved by Ho Chi Minh City Police for defendants in cases in the area. Chi Hoa Temple was designed and built by a Japanese architect according to the five elements and eight trigrams theory and is considered a special architectural work. It harmonizes the basic characteristics of French architecture: solid, discreet, cool, while also carrying the mysterious yin and yang of the five elements of the East. The examination has an octagonal shape with 8 equal sides and 8 corners representing the 8 hexagrams: Can, Khon, Chan, Ton, Can, Kham, Doai, Ly in the I Ching. The prison has 8 prison cells, built in a square octagon. Some research documents say that Ho Chi Hoa was built based on the eight trigrams of Confucius Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms period. The 8 hexagrams correspond to the 8 battle gates: Retirement - Birth - Thuong - Do - Canh - Death - Kinh - Khai. Each side of the trigram formation is a zone, the back is sealed on the outside while the inside is full of iron bars and each zone has 4 prison cells. Chi Hoa has only one entrance, so people call it "death's door". Through this door is a tunnel system designed according to the palace. If not guided, the person entering will be disoriented, like falling into a maze, unable to find their way out. In the middle of Kham Chi Hoa is a large octagonal yard divided into 8 small triangles, with many trees and a clean and airy lawn. In the middle is a guard tower more than 20 meters high, on top is a water tank bulging like a sword stuck straight down. Standing here, the guards can easily observe all the cells. With the architecture of Chi Hoa's eight trigram formation, once prisoners enter here, it will be difficult for them to escape. History so far has only had 3 successful prison escapes. The first case is the revolutionary soldiers at the time of the Japanese coup against France in 1945, the second is the bandit general Dien Khac Kim in 1972 and the third is the notorious death row prisoner Phuoc "Eight Fingers" in 1995. For a long time, Chi Hoa Examination has been associated with mysterious anecdotes. It is rumored that the guard post in the middle of the cemetery is the sword guard. No matter how cunning the criminals are, all their tricks here will be neutralized by this "spiritual" sword. This sword is the "heart" of the building. If it is pulled up, the entire "arrangement" will break. Another thrilling story that is still passed down by word of mouth is that because many people died in Chi Hoa Prison, the negative atmosphere here was very heavy. Therefore, heaven often sends thunder and lightning to break a corner to open a door of birth, allowing resentment to escape and the dead to escape. There was information that the government of the Republic of Vietnam had brought back a very skilled geography teacher to partially solve this "battle". In fact, one of the eight roofs of the octagon has been leveled, breaking the perfection of the "eight trigrams", according to heaven's will, opening a door of Birth for souls to fly away. Meanwhile, some scientists believe that underneath the building there may be an ore mine that causes lightning to often hit Kham Chi Hoa. On the grounds of Chi Hoa Prison, there is also a church (today used as the Camp Hall) built by the French as a place to "baptize" prisoners before being executed. In addition, to free the "negative energy", in 1954, the prison warden of Chi Hoa Prison built a temple outside the "eight trigrams" (but still within the prison grounds) to place a Buddha statue. Later, the temple no longer existed, the Buddha statue now lies on a small lake. Source: Vietnamese newspaper

Cho Quan Hospital (now Tropical Diseases Hospital) is the oldest hospital in Saigon, completed in 1864. The hospital specializes in treating infectious diseases and mental illnesses. Due to the need to treat mental illness, a separate area was built in the hospital to house mentally ill patients. That patient confinement area has now become a cultural and historical relic. During the invasion of our country, the French colonialists arrested and brutally tortured many revolutionary soldiers and patriots. Because they needed to exploit information, they took the prisoner to the mental patient ward of Cho Quan hospital for both moderate treatment and continued questioning. Since then, the prison for mentally ill patients has become a place to detain sick prisoners. In 1931, comrade Tran Phu - the first General Secretary of the Indochina Communist Party, now the Communist Party of Vietnam, was detained by the French colonialists and breathed his last breath here. On April 18, 1931, comrade Tran Phu was arrested at 66 Champagne Street (now Ly Chinh Thang Street) - the Party's printing agency. After detaining and brutally torturing comrade Tran Phu in many different detention camps, they transferred him to Saigon Large Prison to prepare for trial. At this time, comrade Tran Phu's health was increasingly deteriorating. The French colonialists wanted to maintain his life to exploit the Party's secrets, so on August 26, 1931, they took him to the detention center at Cho Quan hospital for treatment. On September 6, 1931, comrade Tran Phu breathed his last breath here. The comrade's body was placed in his personal room. Comrades in the prison held a memorial service for their comrades in this room. All political prisoners in the prison stood along the hallway to see off comrade Tran Phu - the first General Secretary of the Party. In addition to comrade Tran Phu, during the two resistance wars against the French and the Americans, many other revolutionary soldiers such as Tran Nao, Ha Huy Tap, Tran Bach Dang, and Nguyen Van Troi were also detained in this prison area. . Today, the prison area in Cho Quan hospital is open to welcome visitors. The relics still bear traces of shackles and shackles under the colonial regime; as well as the imprints of the indomitable and indomitable fight of revolutionary soldiers with bloody fighting slogans still clearly visible on the walls. From the hospital gate, entering the prison area, on the right side, the architectural plan of the prison area is U-shaped. The horizontal row of the U-shape is 32m long and 12m wide. Two equal vertical rows, each 14m long and 7.5m wide. Outside, in front of the prison door, there is a small guard room with a tiled roof. Surrounded by a 2.5m high brick wall. Entering from the prison door, first is a large cell, holding about 20 people. Next are 2 large cells and 2 small cells. In the middle of the walkway, an additional wall was built from the door to the end of the block, separating the cells on the left and right. To the left of the prison door, 10.5 meters away, are two equal cells, each room 10.75 meters wide. Near the end of the row there are 2 small individual cells, with an iron net on the roof. At the end of the row there are 3 small bathrooms. In general, the prison area in Cho Quan hospital is a fairly intact historical relic. In recent years, District 5 has invested nearly 700 million VND to restore the first phase of the monument, making it one of the places for political activities and traditional education for the young generation. After inauguration, the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union of District 5 is responsible for managing, introducing and guiding visitors to visit the monument. The relic has a great educational effect on the young generation, from comrade Tran Phu's shining example of courage, steadfast revolutionary spirit and compassion for comrades and comrades. This relic will forever remind the next generation of the advice of the first General Secretary of the Party: "Keep the will to fight". The prison area in Cho Quan hospital was recognized as a historical relic by the Ministry of Culture on November 16, 1988. Source: People's Committee of District 5, Ho Chi Minh City

The Steel Wire Bot relic includes 3 separate houses, Western-style architecture, brick walls, tile roofs, located on high land in Tang Nhon Phu A ward, district 9, Thu Duc city. Steel Wire House was built a long time ago. According to elders over 80 years old, they saw the Steel Wire house when they were young. Before 1945, the Steel Wire House was formerly known as the Steel Wire House because it was built to serve as a news transmitting and receiving station for the French. The station is designed to consist of three separate houses with 'western' style architecture with three antenna columns, the tallest of which is over 70 m. The project was designed by two Frenchmen, Hermall and Stéru, to serve the invasion of the French colonialists before 1945. The steel wire is a house with one ground floor and one floor, with many windows facing out in four directions. On the left side of the house there are two stairs leading to the first floor. The strangest thing is that in Steel Wire Bunch there is a secret cellar used to lock up and torture people they consider 'rebellious'. The tunnel has only one vent at the top. The mouth of the tunnel is small (0.4 m2) just large enough for a person to stand upright and enter the tunnel. In 1945, when Japan staged a coup to oust France in Indochina, the Steel Wire House was occupied by Japanese fascists. Not long after, the Japanese fascists were defeated, the French colonialists returned and the Steel Wire House belonged to the French again. When retaking the Steel Wire House, the French colonialists took down the antenna column (leaving only one column) and built two more brick houses with high floors, one for the commander named Pi-rolet and the other. The remaining room is reserved for French soldiers to guard. Since the day they took over Steel Wire, the French army has turned this place into a prison, arresting, besieging, torturing, and interrogating the people of the heroic Tang Nhon Phu village and those they suspect of being involved. , providing supplies to revolutionary soldiers. Here, during the nine-year resistance war against the French colonialists, French soldiers interrogated and tortured countless people as well as resilient revolutionary soldiers. They arrested and brutally used all methods of interrogation. There are prisoners who suffocated to death because the cellar was overcrowded and there was no oxygen. Many other people, regardless of age, young or old, male or female, whenever they were suspected by them, they had to stand in line so they could shoot them and throw their bodies into the Cau Ben Noc River. More brutally, they also used machetes to decapitate, threw the body into the river, the head was impaled on a stake, and formed a long line in front of the steel wire fence to 'expose the crime', preventing patriots from standing up. Being surrounded by steel wire during nine years of resistance against the French colonialists was a living hell for many innocent people. The Steel Wire Basket Relic was recognized by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism as a national historical and cultural relic on January 18, 1993. Source: Tang Nhon Phu A Ward Youth Union

Red Areca Garden is surrounded by Nhi Binh, Quoi Xuan, Thanh Loc, Tan Thoi Hiep and Dong Thanh communes. This is a place with many areca gardens and luxuriant fruit trees. In the past it was a swamp land, canals crisscrossed like spider webs, immense weeds, snakes, centipedes, mosquitoes, leeches, scorpions,... endlessly. The name Red Areca Garden was born a long time ago, no one knows its exact origin. According to veteran revolutionary comrades who once worked in this area, during the war, areca palms grew in clusters here, so they were called "Areca Garden", and the "red" color of the place name "Red Areca Garden" not only It simply means that the color of the areca trunk has discolored due to the fierce destruction of war, but also means the bloody sacrifices of generations of officers, soldiers, and people who have fallen on this land. The location of Red Areca Garden is next to and surrounded by occupied enemy military agencies. It is like a bag containing all connections from the outside, and is a base connecting the forest with the city. Losing the Red Areca Garden means losing contact with the city. Therefore, Red Areca Garden became a stepping stone between the city and the base. This place has favorable terrain in terms of visibility and maintains the element of secrecy to deploy combat formations. For us, Red Areca Garden holds an irreplaceable transit position in the northwest direction of Saigon. From an initially rudimentary "security belt", Red Areca Garden later developed into a "concave base", a revolutionary secret area, a place to stand and hide revolutionary forces. The base consists of many different "Cons" spread over a wide area, and was the starting point for resistance forces to attack Saigon in the war against the US. Since March 1945, our entire nation enthusiastically prepared for a General Uprising. Red Areca Garden became a place to gather the masses every night to practice martial arts to prepare for an uprising to seize power and expel the invaders. Not long after the success of the August Revolution, on September 23, 1945, France opened fire to attack the headquarters of revolutionary government agencies in Saigon. After 3 months, the Gia Dinh Provincial Party Committee decided to withdraw its forces to the suburbs to preserve the forces to continue fighting. On December 25, 1945, at the Red Cau Garden, comrade Pham Van Khuong - Secretary of the Gia Dinh Provincial Party Committee chaired the conference of key officials. The conference decided to choose 3 communes: An Phu Dong, Thanh Loc, Quoi Xuan to establish a resistance base with the stature of a war zone because this place is not far from the center of Saigon, although the area is small but very convenient. beneficial for the resistance, can hold on for a long time... Red Areca Garden was chosen as one of the gathering places for our officers and soldiers. Here, we have established a "Worker Reception Station" of the Southern General Trade Union to welcome technical workers from Saigon. On that basis, the War Zone Command established a military factory to produce weapons and equipment to equip the revolutionary forces. To implement the "quick fight, quick victory" strategy, the French colonialists organized many fierce raids into the Red Areca Garden, aiming to destroy the resistance headquarters of Saigon - Gia Dinh. On the full moon day of the 7th month, the year of the Dog, 1946, France sent Moroccan, Cambodian soldiers and Vietnamese traitors to surround it and suddenly attacked the Red Areca Garden. Due to the sudden attack, our forces did not have time to fight back. French soldiers brutally suppressed and killed many people, including the elderly and children. From the end of 1946, France established a dense system of blockhouses and watchtowers around and along the roads leading to the An Phu Dong war zone, organizing many raids and fierce bombardments. But our army and people still stubbornly hold on, the revolutionary forces have organized many battles against robberies, eliminated evildoers, and continued to develop the "Popular Education" movement. Thanks to the resilient will and loving support of the compatriots, the war zone still stood firm, contributing to defeating the strategy of "fighting quickly and winning quickly", causing the French colonialists to encounter many difficulties and losses. In January 1950, during the funeral procession for Tran Van On, Red Areca Garden became a transfer station for students entering the war zone. Under the US - Diem regime, Cau Do Garden was listed as a "White Area" that was free to be bombarded. They continuously organized sweeping operations to find and destroy our cadres. Go Mon District Party Committee still upholds its determination to continue fighting. Red Areca Garden was chosen to build a "concave" resistance base in Thanh Loc commune at that time. From these bases, we have built a continuous base area to house many battalion and regiment-level army units. To prepare for the general offensive and uprising during the Tet Offensive in 1968, the army forces returned to camp at Red Cau Garden. Local people provided about 2 tons of rice, more than 250 loaves of bread, and hundreds of cakes. tet... On March 10, 1968, local army forces led by comrade Sau Theo were stationed along the riverbank to ambush two companies of puppet soldiers preparing to sweep at Red Areca Garden. In this battle, our troops used B40, B41, and AK to continuously fire back, killing 26 Americans and puppets. During the period 1969 - 1973, the Nixon government advocated implementing the new strategy "Vietnamization of the war". They stepped up their raids, especially in our base areas. Our army and people stationed in Red Cau Garden fiercely resisted many of their raids, large and small. In 1971, here our soldiers destroyed the 11th parachute battalion of the Puppet. In 1973, a guerrilla squad in coordination with the Gia Dinh regiment intercepted a paratrooper squad and collected some trophies.

The memorial site for President Ton Duc Thang is located on the campus of Ba Son Enterprise Union, which today is a large shipbuilding and repair workshop, located at 2 Ton Duc Thang Street, Ben Nghe Ward, District 1, City. Ho Chi Minh. This is a historical site with many meanings. The mechanical workshop at number 323, Street 12 within the factory campus is where mechanic Ton Duc Thang (later President of Vietnam - from 1969 to August 30, 1980) worked and participated in revolutionary activities. in the years 1915 - 1928. In 1861, France defeated Chi Hoa Fort and occupied Saigon. On April 28, 1863, the French government signed a decree officially establishing the Ba Son Shipyard (Arsenal) under the French Ministry of the Navy. Because of that importance, in 1884 the French government built another large dry dock to serve as a ship repair base for the French fleet in the Far East. After the Geneva Agreement was signed, the French army withdrew from Indochina. On September 12, 1956, France transferred Ba Son to the Saigon government navy. Under the old Saigon regime, Ba Son Waterworks was renamed Navy Factory, placed directly under the Ministry of National Defense. After April 1975, the Navy factory was taken over by the Revolutionary government and was renamed Ba Son Enterprise Union, under the Ministry of National Defense to this day. Ba Son Waterworks is the largest factory in Saigon, one of the places with the largest concentration of workers in Vietnam in the early years of the century. In order to train native electricians and mechanics to supply French companies and factories in Saigon, on February 20, 1906, the French government signed a decision to establish the Asian mechanical school in Saigon (Eécole des mécaniciens). Asiatiques de SaiGon - today's Cao Thang Technical School). Ba Son ship repair workshop is a workshop that uses the school's students to practice at the workshop and directly recruits students who have completed their studies at the school. The Saigon Asian Mechanical School and the mechanical workshop of Ba Son Water Factory at that time were associated with the first revolutionary activities of revolutionary Ton Duc Thang. After finishing primary school in his hometown: An Hoa village, My Hoa Hung commune, Dinh Thanh district, Long Xuyen province (now My Hoa Hung commune, Long Xuyen town, An Giang province), young man Ton Duc Thang decided to intending to go to Saigon to find a job and orient his life to the working class. Uncle Ton took the entrance exam to the Asian Mechanical School for the course 1915 - 1917. Currently, at the Ho Chi Minh City Museum, there is still an original book registering students enrolled in courses at this school from 1906 to 1966. . In August 1920, he returned from France to Saigon to work as a worker for KROFF and CIE. Influenced by the Russian October Revolution and learning a lot from the struggle experiences of French workers, Uncle Ton campaigned to establish the first Red Union in the city. The secret union developed among workers of Ba Son factory, Faci company, Cho Quan lighting house... From 1920 to 1925, the number of members increased to 300 people with Uncle Ton as president. This is the first Trade Union organization in Vietnam with the purpose of supporting and fighting to defend the rights of workers and fight against capitalist imperialism. Under the leadership of the Red Congress, the struggle movement of city workers during this period exploded strongly. Typically, the strike demanding increased wages and half-day off on payday of Ba Son Waterworks workers broke out on August 4, 1925 and lasted until August 12, 1925. The strike was successful, but in order to support the struggle movement of Chinese workers and working people by "holding back" the battleship J. Mi-S-Le under orders from the French government, it needed urgent repairs to bring went to China to suppress the revolutionary movement. The strike of Ba Son workers continued in the form of a walkout, prolonging the repair of the warship for up to 4 months. Thus, this struggle, in addition to demanding economic rights and improving working conditions, also has a political nature, especially activating the sense of international solidarity of the Vietnamese working class. The strike of Ba Son workers under the leadership of the Red Trade Union organization opened a new period of struggle for the Vietnamese working class. The period of struggle was organized, led and supported by all workers and working people. The struggle movement has gone from spontaneity to a level of self-awareness, which is a good basis for accepting Marxism-Leninism. On November 19, 1975, as President, Uncle Ton visited Ba Son factory and recorded it in the factory's souvenir book. On August 12, 1993, the Ministry of Culture issued a decision to recognize Ba Son as a historical relic. Source: Ho Chi Minh City Youth Union

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.

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. During the historic Ho Chi Minh campaign, at 7:00 a.m. on April 30, 1975, Hoc Mon town was completely liberated, the National flag fluttered above the District Palace, where District Chief Nguyen Nhu Sang and his gang sai has been running away since last night.
