Historical site of the Ngan Son - Chi Thanh massacre

Historical site of the Ngan Son - Chi Thanh massacre

After the Geneva Agreements were signed, the US imperialists and their lackey regime Ngo Dinh Diem still deliberately violated the Agreements. In Phu Yen, on September 7, 1954, three companies of the 10th battalion of the Vietnam National Army (treasonous puppet troops) came to Ngan Son to take over. Company 1 was stationed on the national highway, company 2 was stationed east of the elementary school, company 3, commanded by Captain De, was stationed at the school. Captain De went behind the school, entered Mr. Banh Lien's house and saw a photo of President Ho Chi Minh on the altar and immediately took it down. Mr. Banh Lien's wife was sweeping the yard at that time and used a broom to hit this officer. He got into a fight with the homeowner. The whole family cheered together. Many people ran, and after a while people from the Ngan Son, An Thach, An Dan... regions came to protest against the Vietnamese Nationalist soldiers. Suddenly, Captain De (the book History of the Party and People of Chi Thanh town wrote that his name was Vo Duy De) ordered his soldiers to shoot directly into the crowd in the school yard. Nine people were hit by bullets and died on the spot, while ten others were injured. The people were extremely indignant, causing Vietnamese Nationalist soldiers to hastily withdraw into Chi Thanh. The Vietnam Labor Party's base operates secretly in Ngan Son to mobilize people to carry the dead and injured into Chi Thanh to continue fighting with the Vietnamese National government. At this time, the people of An Ninh, An Dinh, An Cu... communes also flocked to support the struggle. From Nha Thuong slope (now north of Truong Xuan quarter, Chi Thanh town), Vietnamese Nationalist soldiers placed machine guns and shot straight at the group of people from the direction of An Ninh. A series of people collapsed into the fields. People from An Dinh who came down were also shot dead by soldiers, many others also collapsed at Truong Giac Pagoda (now in the stadium area of ​​Tuy An district). On the afternoon of September 7, 1954, 79 people died and 76 were injured. People's anger is increasing day by day. On September 7, 1954 (ie August 11, Year of the Horse), the people of Ngan Son - Chi Thanh in particular and the people of Phu Yen in general will never forget these landmarks: Truong Ngan Son - the first point massacre broke out; Nha Thuong slope and the district People's Theater area - where enemies frantically shot at the protesters. To commemorate the heroic spirit of struggle and sacrifice of the people of Tuy An district, the local government built a memorial in the center of Chi Thanh town. On June 18, 1997, the Ministry of Culture and Information issued a decision to recognize the place where the Ngan Son - Chi Thanh massacre took place as a National Historical Site.
