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.

In the end, the American enemy had to retreat. 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. During the 20-year war against the American imperialist invasion, the Southwest Ben Cat Tunnels promoted the effect of a war tunnel. Relying on the tunnel system, the soldiers and civilians of the three Southwest communes fought to bury thousands of enemies, fire and destroy hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles...

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.

Another equally humiliating event for the US Embassy was the chaotic escape that occurred on April 29 and 30, 1975 by the US and its accomplices. Faced with the rapid attack of the Vietnamese army and people in the historic Ho Chi Minh campaign, over 1,000 Americans and more than 5,000 pro-American Vietnamese jostled, pushed, and kicked each other to compete for a place on the terrace of the building. building to be rescued by helicopter. This relic was granted a certificate of recognition by the Ministry of Culture on June 25, 1976.
