About 73 Cave
Located in
Yen Duc Village
"73 Cave"
 Located in the Canh mountain, “73” cave is the
symbol of the local people’s courage and heroic sacrifices over the
years.
By 1950s, Yen Duc village was invaded by the colonial enemy.
However, they had difficulty in the countryside because of guerrilla
fighters. The enemy underestimated the effectiveness of the
Vietnamese guerrilla fighters because they used relatively simple
weapons compared to the more advanced weapons of the enemy.
Understanding that, they could not fight again the enemy with the
simple weapons while the enemy tried to destroy most of the Vietminh
strongholds in the village, therefore the guerrilla fighters and
local people disappeared in to the cave to hide themselves. The
superior enemy’s weapons were useless against the guerrilla fighters
who could not see.
The enemy found that, the guerilla fighters relied on local villages
for food, water and other miscellaneous supplies. So to defeat them,
the enemy needed to take away village support for the guerillas, and
convince the Vietnamese people not to assist the guerrillas. On
another hand, the enemy forced the local villagers to chop down the
trees, destroyed the houses, the pagodas for fencing the cave.
In 6 days, the guerillas fighters were lack of food, water and
weapon, they had to suffer from many difficulties and become tired
while the enemy never stopped shooting and bombing into the cave,
but the guerrilla fighters constantly tried to fight against.
On the 7th day, impatiently, the enemy used wood, straw and gas to
fire the cave from all the entrances in order to kill all the hidden
guerillas fighters and villagers. Facing the death, the guerillas
fighters and villagers still showed no fear. They tried to fight
against and hand in hand to sing all the songs about Vietnamese
revolution and country by their last breath.
All 106 guerillas fighters and villagers were died inside the cave.
Then, the enemy got into the cave to pulled 73 bodies out and buried
them in the same hole.
In order to honor the merits of the guerillas fighters and
villagers, either a memorial monument and a grave were built here in
1980 to dedicate the heroic local people who died in the war
