1966 65438+1On October 29th, two soldiers of the First Cavalry Division of the US Army pulled the Viet Cong guerrillas out of the hidden trench during the sweeping in South Vietnam.

There are many bodies behind him.

The US military is asking the villagers in Meilai village, and the American photographer said that it is impossible to confirm whether the two men were killed.

An American reconnaissance helicopter witnessed the massacre. Hugh Thompson Jr., a pilot, found a river of blood in the village of Meilai, so he landed to check it out. The helicopter landed next to a ditch, and Thompson found that the whole ditch was full of bodies and wounded people. Thompson asked Army Sergeant david mitchell to help carry the wounded out of the trench, but Mitchell said he would help the wounded out of the trench.

Thompson was surprised and asked Captain William Cali. Cali said that he just followed the instructions. When Thompson left in a helicopter, he saw American troops shooting at the trenches. Later, in the sky, Thompson saw that American troops were approaching civilians. Thompson landed quickly and instructed the crew that if American troops fired at civilians, they would fire at American troops. Thompson took the civilians by helicopter in two batches.

The news of the massacre in Meilai village was blocked by the US military for a year, and then it was exposed by American journalist Semint Hirsch. The news of the massacre was published in the New Yorker magazine of 1969 1 12 10, which led to a high anti-war sentiment in the United States and an uproar in the international community. Hirsch won the Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting with 1970.
