Ta Vai Bridge
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. Talking about Ta Vai bridge is talking about the heroic, resilient fighting spirit and glorious fighting of Yen Chau's army and people. Source: Son La province electronic information portal

Historical relic of Na San stronghold group
The Na San stronghold group is located on the Na San plateau, a basin in Chieng Mun commune - Mai Son district - Son La province with an area of about 10km2 surrounded by mountains over 700m high. There is an airport, a command post, a number of posts, a strong firepower system of four 105mm guns and many trenches surrounding the central area. Like the Dien Bien Phu base group, the most important part of this military base is Na San airport, which is responsible for supplying French troops on duty here. This airport was built in 1950 when the French army dominated and oppressed the people of the Northwest ethnic groups after taking control from the Viet Minh. Initially, Na San airport served the needs of travel with a short, small runway system and simple structure. It was later expanded, lengthened and upgraded with iron grate flooring, able to meet all types of traffic. Dakota planes take off and land. For nearly a month since the French army withdrew here, they have continuously reinforced food, weapons, ammunition, barbed wire and other necessary materials to reinforce this military base. . Because time was tight, the fortification system here was quickly made with rudimentary materials such as bamboo, wood, etc. and was temporarily built and covered for living and fighting. At the bases in the central area and around the airport, priority is given to being solidly built with cement, sand, and paved with iron sheets. The central command tunnel also has a relatively safe trench system to escape to the airport in case of need. The Northwest Campaign began on October 1, 1952 and ended on December 10, 1952. After 3 fierce attacks by our army and people, the campaign quickly ended 4 months earlier than the original estimate. We destroyed many enemy troops and captured many weapons and ammunition. The enemy had to withdraw to cluster at the Na San stronghold group. Faced with a completely passive and isolated situation, they knew they could not survive on this land, so they secretly fled by air from Na San airport. The Northwest Campaign ended in complete victory. Up to now, little is known about the Na San stronghold group because of its small scale and passive nature of response. However, this was the first origin for the form of attacking a group of strongholds of the French colonialists, the idea of forming the Dien Bien Phu stronghold group later, and the first form of defense with strategic significance that appeared. present during the Vietnam War. The Na San stronghold group is evidence of the heroic years of our army and people fighting against the French colonialists in the Northwest battlefield, a mark of the disastrous defeat of the French colonialists.
