Quit guerrilla base (Rung Tram forest ) |
 |
The
Xeo Quit guerrilla base is located in the villages of My Hiep
and My Long in the Cao Lanh District, 30 kilometres from the
town of Cao Lanh. Years ago, the area was a wasteland with
dangerous, tangled canals and streams, and was chosen as a
strategic guerrilla base (at the end of 1959) by the Communist
Party Committee of Kien Giang province (now Dong Thap province).
Cajuput
trees are rooted in the earth and grow side by side with
militant fortifications and mysterious underground shelters.
Numerous times the base was rocked by bombs, bullets and
landmines. During the anti-American resistance, and up until
North Vietnam’s victory, the Party Committee was firmly rooted
in the area. Locals have called it the 'base of the people’s
hearts.'
