After the August Revolution in 1945, the French colonialists returned to invade our country for the second time. Realizing that Route 5 was the most important traffic artery in the Northern battlefield, they set up many posts and watchtowers, launched many patrols and sweeps along this route and the surrounding areas, committing many crimes against our people.

To protect the strategically important traffic route and at the same time prevent the enemy, the army and people of Hai Duong, together with the army and people of Hai Phong and Hung Yen, fought steadfastly, stuck to the land and villages, and destroyed each enemy. "Thunder of Route 5" was the resistance movement against French colonialism on Route 5 and the Hai Phong - Hanoi railway by the army and people of 3 provinces: Hai Phong, Hai Duong, and Hung Yen.

With the motto "using primitiveness to fight modernity; using small forces, achieving great victories", with only homemade artillery shells, mines or improvements from enemy's bombs and artillery shells, we created the resounding "Thunder of Route 5", causing heavy losses to the enemy.

In particular, the Kim Thanh guerrillas had many initiatives to set off mines on the railways suitable for each period. At first, we had to use the rudimentary tactic of "pulling the strings". Later, the Kim Thanh guerrillas found a new way of fighting with "automatic electric mines", which did not require an operator, did not need a hiding place near the road, and could place mines at any section under favorable conditions. Although these forms of fighting were simple, they contributed significantly to the anti-French colonialist movement of the people of the whole country.

The names of many heroes of Hai Duong land are forever engraved in history such as: "King of mines on route 5" Nguyen Van Thoa, hero Le Van No, female guerrilla Dinh Thi Nhin, hero Dang Duc Song, hero Ha Van Noa...

The "Thunder of Route 5" monument is a symbol honoring the art of mine laying on the railway by local troops and guerrillas from Hai Duong.
