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.

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.

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. Na San stronghold group was ranked as a national historical relic on January 24, 1998. Source: Son La province electronic information portal
