Southern Regional Party Committee Base X40 – Dong Rum – Source: https://tanchauquetoi.blogspot.com/
The Southern Regional Party Committee base relic site is also known as X 40 Dong Rum. It is now located in Dong Rum hamlet, Tan Thanh commune, Tan Chau district, Tay Ninh province. It was recognized as a historical and cultural relic by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism in Decision No. 61/1999/QD-BVHTT dated September 13, 1999.
At the end of 1946, the Provincial Resistance Administrative Committee deployed a long-term resistance strategy to establish a resistance zone in the mountains and forests. The Tay Ninh 11th Battalion withdrew to Dong Rum Forest and established a base there. During the fighting, the Battalion developed into the 311th Regiment and built an engineering workshop to supply weapons to the Tay Ninh resistance forces.
In 1950-1951, from Dong Thap, the Southern Regional Party Committee moved to Tay Ninh to establish a base in Dong Rum. The name was X 40. Comrade Le Duan, Secretary of the Regional Party Committee, and other comrades in the Regional Party Committee were stationed here.
During the period 1954 – 1960, Dong Rum was still the base of the Southern Regional Party Committee. Although it had to be dispersed and moved to many places including Ma Da and the D war zone, in 1961, after the establishment of the Central Bureau (replacing the Regional Party Committee), this place was still one of the Party’s bases to lead the resistance war against the US to save the country until the day of total victory.
This land was the headquarters – the brain of the Southern revolution. The US – puppet regime launched many large-scale sweeps, aiming to destroy the brain of the Southern revolution such as: Central Office for Southern Vietnam; National Front for the Liberation of South Vietnam; CPCMLTCHMNVN and the main divisions (Division 5; Division 7; Division 9). But they completely failed.
Today, those bases and places have been respectfully preserved, so that future generations can understand the glorious and heroic period of fighting against the Americans to save the country in the base area of cadres, soldiers and Party leaders in the headquarters of the Southern revolution.
