The first destination is the thousand year old Da Huong Tree. According to scientists, this tree was conferred by King Le Canh Hung as "National Lord Da Dai Vuong" family (including wild rose tree, Vien Son communal house, Phuc Quang pagoda, Thuan Hoa communal house...).

During the war years, although the surrounding communes were bombed until they were damaged, Phuc Quang pagoda and Tien Luc commune were still protected. safe. Local people are therefore more convinced that it is the ancient temple that guards this land, helping them settle down. According to ancient legend, there was a king wearing plain clothes and accidentally passed by Phuc Quang pagoda. Because of his previous enmity with Buddhism, this king left behind a curse: any monks cannot stay in this temple. The people thought it was just a blurted statement from the king, so they didn't pay attention. Until later, a Zen master was assigned to take care of the temple, but as soon as he reached the Three Jewels, he was bitten by a snake and was too afraid to leave the temple. The next monks who came to the temple only stayed for a while and then had to leave. Only then did the people remember the strange king and began to spread the story of the divine snake fulfilling the curse to hinder the monks. Most recently, monk Hue Cuu became the abbot in 2010.

Next, a few other monks visited the pagoda and also wanted to stay, but after lighting incense and praying and looking at the incense stick with the words Confucian inscription, they all quietly left, never to return...

Danh mountain relic area
The story of Mount Danh (Lien Chung and Viet Lap communes, Tan Yen district, Bac Giang province) with the product of King-Southern ginseng passed down among the people for many generations inspired me to find this relic. From Bac Giang City, there are many roads to reach Mount Danh, but I chose to follow Highway 17 and then turn onto the Viet Lap-Lien Chung commune road. It's winter so both sides of the road are green with corn, sweet potatoes and many other vegetables. Going about 5km from the turn, the Danh Mountain Cultural and Historical Relic Area appeared before my eyes. Mount Danh is located not far from the romantic Thuong River, has the highest peak about 117 m above sea level and is the second largest mountain range of Tan Yen district after Dot Mountain (Phuc Son commune). This place has a beautiful natural landscape with a pine forest about 50 years old. Many people who come to Mount Danh have the same comment as being in the pine forest of Da Lat City (Lam Dong). Mr. Hoang Tien Dung in Muong Than commune, Than Yen district (Lai Chau province) said: "I have known about Mount Dang through the Internet for a long time, but now I have the opportunity to visit. Indeed, the scenery here is very beautiful, the air is fresh, and sitting and listening to the pine trees is very romantic. If I have the opportunity, I will invite relatives and friends to come here to play." The road up to Mount Den is built with brick steps with a total of 345 gentle steps. Right at the foot of the mountain is the Elephant Noi well, about 2m deep, with a surrounding bank. Local people say the well water is always clear and never dries up. Located on Danh mountain is Danh temple, a cultural and religious project of the local people. The Temple complex consists of 3 temples: Trinh Temple (at the foot of the mountain), Thuong Temple (on the top of the mountain) and Ha Temple (midway up the mountain). Den Temple worships the gods Cao Son and Quy Minh. When they were alive, they were talented generals, but later became sacred deities, becoming saints and talismans, helping people eliminate disasters and disasters, and were worshiped by people for many generations. No one knows exactly when the Temple was built, but based on documents and relics such as stone pillars, ancient incense bowls, sacrificial offerings, and altars still kept in the temple..., this project Built during the Le Dynasty in the 18th century. Through many ups and downs of history, especially during the resistance war against the French, the temple was much destroyed and no longer intact as before. However, the people here have restored and renovated many times, the temple has become more spacious and beautiful but still retains many ancient and unique features. In particular, the current Denh temple was rebuilt by the local party committee, authorities and people in 2017 on a larger scale but still lies on the foundation of the ancient temple in a gong-shaped architectural style, including The 3-compartment hall is connected to the 2-compartment harem court by a strip of waterpipe. During the resistance war against the French colonialists who invaded our country, Danh temple and Danh mountain were the advance stations for our soldiers to ambush and protect the free zone. Also here, on April 13, 1950, two guerrilla soldiers, Nguyen Ba Giai and Nguyen Dinh Khai, heroically sacrificed their lives while on guard duty to guard the front lines. Coming to the Danh Mountain Relic Area, visitors will not only be able to admire the vast and majestic landscape but also hear stories passed down in folklore about the Southern King-Samseng products of the people here. In the past, the Dinh mountain area had the famous Bao Loc Son festival throughout the region. In the early 19th century, Bao Loc Son was a canton in Yen The district, Lang Giang prefecture, including 4 communes: Bao Loc Son, Trung Son, Tuong Son and Kim Trang. The annual Bao Loc Son Festival is held on January 16 and 17, centered at the Um Ngo communal house relic complex, Viet Lap commune. This festival is the festival of four communal houses, also known as four families, typical of the families: Than, Giap Nguyen and Dong... in 4 villages: Kim Trang, Khoat, Nguyen and Um Ngo. These 4 villages have 4 communal houses, worshiping 4 Thanh Hoang. After the villages of Nguyen, Kim Trang, Khoat hold festivals, the palanquin procession goes to Um Ngo communal house to hold the festival on January 16 and 17, and from there, the palanquin procession goes to Nghe Ca on top of Dinh mountain for the opening ceremony of the year. .

The system of statues in the pagoda is rich and complete, decorated purely in Vietnamese. The pagoda also has a bell weighing several hundred pounds. However, in 1885, to take revenge on the Yen The insurgents, the French colonialists frantically destroyed villages and pagodas to use wood to build their base. In 1886, the people of the four borders, including Nguon, Upper, Lower, and Bell, rebuilt the pagoda with the name Tu Giap because the four people joined hands to rebuild the pagoda. The new pagoda includes a front hall, a common house, a Buddha hall, an ancestral house, a monks' and nuns' house, a three-entrance gate with a bell tower, and spacious and orderly walls. In 1947, Tu Giap Pagoda was once again destroyed by the French colonialists when they swept through Nha Nam and attacked Yen The. At Tu Giap Pagoda, there was a clash between us and the enemy. The pagoda was severely damaged, leaving only the 7-compartment front hall, with bullet marks still on the pillars. Along with the flow of history, Tu Giap Pagoda and Nguon village of Nha Nam commune have experienced and "witnessed" many important historical events. This place converges essential traffic routes, can move towards the plains of Bac Giang, Bac Ninh and retreat to the mountainous areas of Thai Nguyen and Bac Kan. Therefore, Tu Giap Pagoda was chosen as one of the locations as an important revolutionary base of the Bac Giang Party Committee during the resistance war against the French colonialists. This is also the stationing and working place of the National Salvation Newspaper (March 1945), Bac Giang Postal Company (late 1945), Provincial Post Office and Ha Bac Police Company (now Bac Giang Provincial Police). In particular, Tu Giap Pagoda was the living and working place of the Area 12 Police from the end of 1946 to around April 1948. During the resistance war against the French, although it was attacked many times by the French colonialists, Tu Giap Pagoda was still a safe place for district, provincial and central agencies to choose as a place to open refresher courses, train and discuss plans. implementing the resolution to divide fields for people to increase production... During the resistance war against the US to save the country, Tu Giap Pagoda witnessed many farewell ceremonies for children who were going to join the army to fight on the southern front to contribute to the war. liberating the South and unifying the country. Through the ups and downs of history, Tu Giap Pagoda today is no longer the same, but only the front hall, middle pagoda building, and Tam Bao pagoda are made in the old style. In the pagoda, there are many Buddha statues made of lacquered wood and gilded with gold. Tu Giap Pagoda is not only a place for spiritual beliefs of the people in the area but also a place marked by revolutionary history. In particular, it is where the 6 things Uncle Ho taught the People's Public Security force were discovered. Here, comrade Hoang Mai - Director of Zone VII Police was honored to receive the letter from President Ho Chi Minh dated March 11, 1948, in which he especially kindly advised our police, Mr. peace of the people, serving for the people, knowing how to rely on the people to do everything will be done.

Connected behind the front hall is the Buddha hall, 3 large spaces with the same architectural style but not carved but carefully smoothed and sharpened. In the front hall, there are a number of carved panels, with decorative motifs on the theme of four precious things, vividly reflecting the rich products of the homeland.

The bell handle is molded into the shape of a pair of dragons living together, the dragon's mouth spits out pearls, looking serious but gentle, not fierce like the dragons of the later Nguyen Dynasty. On the 4 segments of the bell are embossed with 4 Chinese characters, indicating the name of the bell: "Phuc Nghiem Tu Chung" (Phuc Nghiem pagoda bell). At the end of the article, there is a stray line indicating the time of casting this bell: "Eight years of the Canh Thinh dynasty, three moons, the first day of the sand, the first day of the third month of the 8th year of the Canh Thinh era (1800). create a large bell).

Lang Ngam is also located on the western bank of the Luc Dau Giang area, where the high mountains and low hills in the North end; The place where the Thuong River, Cau River, and Luc Dau River converge, opening up the delta and down to the East Sea. Those river routes are important traffic arteries in transporting ancient Vietnamese residents along with the country's economic, historical and cultural elements back to Lang Ngam; And from here - thanks to these special bloodlines - it continues to spread out, integrating with the country in all fields. That has made Ngam Luong - Lang Ngam countryside - since ancient times - a place to both witness and directly contribute to the creation of many unique cultural histories of the homeland and the country.

XA TEMPLE
Xa Temple is located on the south bank of Cau River, near Xa junction, which is the confluence of two ancient rivers Ca Lo and Cau River (also known as Nhu Nguyet River) flowing into Luc Dau River (Hai Duong province). Xa Temple, Xa Doai village, Tam Giang commune (Yen Phong district, Bac Ninh) worships two generals Truong Hong and Truong Hat. The two were siblings and talented generals of Trieu Quang Phuc in the resistance war against the invaders of the Luong Dynasty. Nearly a thousand years ago, in the 11th century, Lieutenant Ly Thuong Kiet built the Nhu Nguyet river defense line here during the second resistance war against the Song Dynasty, leading to a famous victory over the Song invaders in October 1077. Talking about the history of the temple, Mr. Vu Cong Tuong (82 years old, from Xa Doai village, head of Xa Temple) said: Xa Temple worships Saint Tam Giang - the brothers Truong Hong and Truong Hat, who are famous generals of the temple. Trieu Quang Phuc was credited with fighting the Liang invaders in the 6th century. The sacred temple also dates from the 6th century, after their death. The legend of Saint Tam Giang says that, in the past, in Van Mau village (Kinh Bac region) there was a girl named Phung Tu Nhan. At the age of 18, Tu Nhan dreamed that the Dragon god descended from the sky and entwined herself on the Luc Dau River. After that, she was 14 months pregnant and gave birth to a bundle of 5 children: 4 boys and 1 girl. Because she was a child given by heaven, she took the Jade Emperor's surname Truong and gave it to her four sons, Truong Hong, Truong Hat, Truong Lung, Truong Lay, and her daughter, Truong Dam Nuong. Some time later, Heaven sent La Tien Ong to earth to teach literature and martial arts to Tu Nhan's five children at Trang Hoc beach near Co Trach's house. The five brothers, all skilled in literature and martial arts, grew up responding to Trieu Viet Vuong's call to become generals to fight the Luong invaders in Da Trach lagoon and win a great victory. Truong Hong and Truong Hat were appointed talented generals of Trieu Quang Phuc. When Trieu Quang Phuc ascended the throne (other names are Trieu Viet Vuong, Da Trach Vuong), Ly Phat Tu led his army to fight back but could not win, so he used the trick of marrying his son, causing Trieu Viet Vuong to fall for the trick and be defeated. When Ly Phat Tu won the throne, knowing that Truong Hong and Truong Hat were talented generals, he invited them to become mandarins. But with your loyalty, you decided not to worship two kings. Knowing that he could not be subdued, Ly Phat Tu ordered them to be arrested everywhere. They knew they couldn't escape so they committed suicide in the Cau River to maintain their loyalty to the king. Also according to legend, the Jade Emperor felt compassion and ordained Truong Hong and Truong Hat as River Gods. Since then, the people of 372 villages along the Cau River, Thuong River, Ca Lo River and the places where the two men were stationed to fight the enemy all mourned and built temples to worship them as Gods. The Ngo, Dinh, Le, and Ly dynasties were later blessed by Yin to keep their territories in peace, so they all honored the Truong cousins as Saint Tam Giang - great kings and superior gods. According to history books, Xa Temple and Saint Tam Giang are also associated with the birth of the poem "Nam Quoc Son Ha" by Ly Thuong Kiet - our country's first declaration of independence. Talking about the legend of the story of the poem Than, Mr. Vu Cong Tuong said: According to the elders of Xa Doai village, one night in October 1077, at the sacred temple on the Cau River battlefield against the Tong and Ly Thuong invaders. Kiet went to the temple to pray for yin and yang to support the resistance war against foreign invaders. After the ceremony, the sky suddenly lit up like daytime, two clouds appeared in the air, one white, one red. Above were two brave soldiers, one riding a white horse, the other riding a pink horse, riding the clouds among the four armies cheering their horses. hi. Legend has it that he was Mr. Truong Hong and Truong Hat who appeared to bless our army and people in fighting the Song invaders. Tu Vu Cong Tuong was moved and respectfully said: "You are "born as a form, death as a spirit"; That means living as a general, transforming into a god, and still carrying out the noble mission of serving the country." At the same time, in the air or in Ly Thuong Kiet's mind, the poem "Nam Quoc Son Ha" suddenly echoed: Nam Quoc Son Ha Nam Emperor's residence/ Absolutely destined to be in the book of heaven/ Like a rebellious river invading/ Nhu "The king of the South lives in the rivers and mountains of the country. The fate is clear in the book of heaven. Why do the invaders invade? They will be beaten to a pulp." This is the reason why the poem is called Divine poetry. When the poem was read by Ly Thuong Kiet, it resounded loudly in the area, causing the Song invaders to panic and run away, trampling each other to death. Together with the strategic ingenuity of our army and people, the resistance war against the Song Dynasty was completely victorious, destroying 300,000 Song troops, corpses piled up into mountains, blood flowed into rivers. After nearly 1,000 years since that divine victory, currently in Tam Giang commune there are still places such as Bai Xac, Bo Xac, and Dong Xa which are traces of the disastrous defeat of the enemy in the past. Every year, Xa Temple has two major festivals on the 5th of the first lunar month and the 9th and 10th of the fourth month of the lunar calendar. The Xa Temple Festival is the largest in the region. In addition to the solemn rituals of palanquin procession and water procession, there is also the custom of swimming competitions. Legend has it that the swimming custom of Xa Temple is associated with Ly Thuong Kiet mobilizing local militia to participate in fighting the Tong invaders on Nhu Nguyet River. Xa Temple today is located on a mound of land nearly 10 hectares wide, less than a kilometer from Xa junction - the confluence of two ancient rivers. The temple is currently being restored but its architecture still retains its ancient features that have existed for thousands of years. In front of the yard there is still an ancient stone stele engraved with the divine poem "Nam Quoc Son Ha" on both sides in Chinese and national language, outside is a four-pillar gate with a time-tinged relief. In addition to the system of precious antiques still kept as worship statues, in the harem of Xa temple there is also a Tao Quan altar with statues of "two men and one woman". In early spring, tourists and people who come to the Xa Temple ceremony to pray for the country of Thai Dan An do not forget to light incense at the Tao Quan altar with the wish to pray for the family to always be warm, hoping for happiness and peace for their family and for everyone. home. With a history of nearly 1,500 years, in 1988, Xa Temple was ranked by the Ministry of Culture as a National Historical Site. Source: Electronic newspaper of the Central Vietnam Farmers' Union

Ngoc Lam Temple is a relic located next to Ben Ngoc (literally called Ngoc Chu) - a place to worship and commemorate Princess Thanh Thien. Ben Ngoc is also known as Ngoc Lam, located in Ngoc Lam village, Tan My commune, Yen Dung district. Princess Thanh Thien was the daughter of a family of Lac generals during the time of King Thuc - Because she did not cooperate with the Han dynasty, she hid at the temple. As a child, Thanh Thien was famous for his intelligence and talent. Growing up in the country's misery and humiliation under the domination of the Han Dynasty, this girl has since then nurtured a great ambition to take revenge for the country and society. Then she gathered her forces, stored food, trained soldiers and horses, and set up a base to wait for the opportunity to rebel. To strengthen her forces, she allied with patriots throughout Hai Duong (her hometown). Once when visiting her uncle in Ky Hop (Lang Giang), she stopped at Ngoc Lam site and was welcomed and wholeheartedly supported by the people. She discussed with him a plan to expel the enemy and set up camps in Ky Hop and Ngoc Lam. The base was established, and many clashes with the Han invaders occurred, the enemy forces were defeated many times. Once Ky Hop base was surrounded, Ngoc Lam base was blockaded. At that time, Hai Ba Trung's insurgent army stood up, heroes from everywhere came and Thanh Thien also followed that banner of insurgency. Under the banner of "Repaying the country's debt, avenging the family" of the Hai Ba, Princess Thanh Thien courageously stood side by side with the insurgents to expel the Han invaders and regain independence for the country. Crazy with defeat, the Han Dynasty sent the experienced male general, Ma Vien, to send troops to our country to suppress the uprising. Due to their defeat, Hai Ba Trung threw herself into the Hat Giang river and committed suicide to keep her virginity. As for Princess Thanh Thien, she fought until her last breath, following the Hai Ba to martyrdom at Ben Ngoc, refusing to fall into the hands of the Han invaders. Admiring Ms. Thanh Thien's example of filial piety, after her death, people built a temple to worship right next to Ben Ngoc - where she committed suicide. In the past, the monument was large and majestic, but now it is no longer intact. Currently, the ruins still have the Upper Temple and the Lower Temple. Thuong Temple is located on a high promontory adjacent to Chin Khuc River, opposite Bai Han area. The temple consists of two buildings: 3-compartment altar, simple architecture, inside there is an altar. The 3-room harem is located at the back. The altar has a altar, a throne, tablets and many other worship items. This is the sanctuary where the altar of Princess Thanh Thien is worshiped. The temple yard is tiled with square tiles, and in front there is an open-air altar. The landscape of Thuong Temple has an ancient sycamore tree reflecting on the Ben Ngoc river, creating a beautiful scene. Ha Temple is more ancient, built during the Le dynasty, and destroyed during the resistance war against the French. Now, the people have rebuilt the temple spaciously, including 5 high and wide front worship rooms and 3 back palace rooms. The landscape of Ha Temple is also very beautiful. In front there is a vast lake, located on the banks of the winding Chin Khuc River, creating harmony between the interior and exterior landscape.

Phon Xuong Fort
Phon Xuong Fort is located in the center of Cau Go town. Here De Tham and the uprising command stayed the longest, directing the strategic and tactical direction of the Yen The insurgent army. Phon Xuong Fort is 30 km west of Bac Giang province; From Bac Giang city, follow National Highway 1A (old) through Thuong River bridge, turn right along Provincial Road 398, Bac Giang-Cau Go route. Phon Xuong Fort, also known as Don Go, Don Cu, is located on the south side of a nearly 20m high hill, nearly 800m south of Go stream. Now this hill is called Phon Xuong hill or Ba Ba hill in Cau Go town. This is a large-scale base with a different structure from Ho Chuoi post and other posts. The fort has an almost rectangular architectural plan running along the North-South direction, with an area of about more than an acre of Northern Vietnam including two citadels. The outer citadel starts from the eastern hillside and runs around the foothill to the northern hilltop, forming an arc that protects the inner citadel, 140m long, 0.80m thick and 4m high. The inner city walls are located on top of a roughly rectangular hill. The inner wall on the east side is 71m long, the north side is 85m long. The wall is made of rammed earth, 2m thick at the base, 3m high and 1m wide on the surface. Inside the wall, there are 3 different levels that can be shot standing or kneeling. There are battlements all around the wall. The outer wall slopes gently like a roof. Phon Xuong Fort has 3 gates: The main gate faces East and two side gates are in the South and North. The two side gates open to the surrounding forests. In particular, the northern gate connects to the forest of the remaining half of the hill. The two 1.50m wide side gates are no longer intact, the main gate is 15m from the north wall, 2m wide with 4 steps up and down. Inside the main gate, there is a guard station located on the northern side of the wall in a square shape of 2m on each side. Inside the main door there are two layers of protective earth walls and many battlements. The gates all have two doors, the outside gate and the inside gate, and are all made of ironwood. The outermost position of the station is the guard posts, followed by the auxiliary posts, the trench system and then the surrounding citadel. The distance between the two rings is 20m at its widest and 10m at its narrowest. Within the citadel is a large space including a system of houses, guest houses, warehouses... all are thatched houses with mud walls mixed with straw. Except for the square house that receives guests, it is built of bricks. From the north to the south of the citadel, respectively, are the houses of Hoang Hoa Tham and Ba Ba, the house has 5 rooms running west and east. The second house is square with four sides left empty and is used as a meeting place for Hoang Hoa Tham with generals and to receive guests. The next house consists of two rows located close to the West and East sides of the citadel, and is the residence of the insurgent army. Next, there are 8 kitchens and stables located close to the southern edge of the citadel running east-west, followed by a light pole and flag pole. The architecture of Phon Xuong Fort is a special architectural style. Not only does it meet the requirements of being a stronghold, it also flexibly handles combat mobility and meets the requirements of being a command post, a place for insurgent transactions. Over time, the rampart system and residential buildings in the citadel built with rammed earth are also easily eroded. Now the residential buildings in the citadel no longer exist, and the citadel walls are no longer intact as before. Particularly, the eastern part of the wall still retains many old architectural features. There are quite clear bullet holes in the citadel wall. In the citadel, a Ba Ba temple is currently built.

It can be said that Phon Xuong was the capital of the uprising, the starting place to expand the movement to localities. Here the insurgents fought bravely against a large-scale attack by the French colonialists led by Colonel Vat-tay on January 29, 1909.

Ho Chuoi Fort
Build a brave and courageous fighting spirit, not afraid of sacrifice, determined to fight to the end to protect your homeland and country. This is the core, most important factor that determines the victory in the Battle of Banana Pit of the Insurgent Army. In particular, in the context of the early years of the Yen The uprising, the Insurgent Army with rudimentary weapons and equipment had to confront the French Expeditionary Force - a professional army equipped with weapons, equipment and supplies. modern means of warfare, so building political and spiritual factors and determination to fight for the Insurgent Army is of decisive significance. Realizing that, De Tham and the leaders of the Insurgent Army educated and fostered a spirit of patriotism and hatred for the enemy in the Insurgents. Accordingly, on the basis of a just war, De Tham taught about the suffering of people losing their country; clearly shows that the cause of suffering is due to the brutality of the invading French empire. Through practice, he showed everyone clearly the hypocritical and hypocritical face of the enemy army; that it was the French army who shot and killed civilians and burned down houses and fields. If you want to save the country and the family, you must rise up to fight the French and his Insurgents swear to kill the enemy to protect the people. That's why the Yen The uprising in general, and the Ho Chuoi battle in particular, the insurgents demonstrated a spirit of courage and strong determination that the enemy did not expect. That was when the enemy fiercely bombarded the station, but the insurgents did not flinch, waiting for the enemy to get very close before opening fire to destroy them, causing the enemy to panic and flee. Even in the third attack (December 22, 1890), the enemy urged European and African troops to use bayonets to attack our fortifications, but the insurgents remained calm, took control of the battle, and rose up to destroy the enemy. leaving them helpless, suffering heavy losses, forcing them to retreat. Not only did De Tham regularly foster patriotism and determination, but when dangerous situations occurred, De Tham also proactively and calmly encouraged the insurgents to fight. Typically, in the battle on January 9, 1891, when Ho Chuoi post was burned by enemy fire, De Tham used the loudspeaker to encourage: "Soldiers in the loyal army, in the indomitable army, in the The army will win. I am very pleased with you! Try to resist. Reinforcements are coming. You are invincible"1. That spiritual medicine promptly encouraged and encouraged the insurgents in the station to calmly, enthusiastically, and resolutely defend, while the forces in the forts, despite the hours-long shelling, still maintained their positions. fight; When the opportunity came (when the enemy infantry was approaching), we all rushed out of the fortifications and fought fiercely, destroying most of the enemy's forces and maintaining the battlefield. Later, researchers all believed that, at Ho Chuoi, the French army faced an opponent with surprisingly high fighting determination.2. Create a dangerous, continuous, solid posture, ensuring smooth defense and attack. Through many battles with the French army, the Insurgents have mastered the rules of operation, combat tactics, and the enemy's strengths and weaknesses. That is, fear of close combat, especially difficulty in maneuvering in difficult terrain; rely on artillery fire and when there are casualties, morale easily declines, etc. Firmly grasping that fatal weakness, the Insurgents Supreme Command advocates creating a solid defensive posture in the Yen The mountainous area. Accordingly, in a low-lying area of the Huu Thuong forest filled with wild bananas, the Insurgents built Ho Chuoi station as a semi-floating, semi-submerged fortification (to limit the enemy's firepower and artillery) as their headquarters. To support the main post, the Insurgents also set up two defensive fortresses (North and South) about 100m away from Ho Chuoi, creating a flexible position to protect and support each other. In addition, De Tham also sent people to set up a system of defense posts around Ho Chuoi, such as: Hom post, Skull Cave, Nua village, Vang village,... a logistics base in Vong Dong with a system of fighting villages (Duong Sat, The Loc, Luoc Ha, Cao Thuong) with many dangerous obstacles. Thanks to a solid posture, the Insurgents were able to detect and attack the enemy from near and far, consuming and destroying many enemy forces before they reached their main target. In particular, at Ho Chuoi, with its unique and dangerous position, the forest became an obstacle to the enemy's firepower and limited vision; If you get close to the base of the fort, you will be shot back from dangerous battlements, etc. The uniqueness of this posture is also shown by the system of submerged trenches (without banks) connecting points together and connecting to Go stream in the rear, creating a flexible maneuver position, while being able to attack the enemy. From the front, you can attack the flanks and rear of their formation. This explains why the enemy gathered large, elite troops, with many modern weapons, attacked from many directions, for many days, but all four attacks were unsuccessful.
