General Barton: The legendary hero General Barton described in two memoirs

English title: Patton: Lust for Glory

Production date: 197

Director: Franklin J. Schaffner.

Screenwriter: francis coppola

Starring: George C. Scott

Introduction:

General Barton is adapted from two memoirs, Barton: Suffering and Victory and The Story of a Soldier. The film depicts the legendary experience of General Barton in the form of biography.

The screenwriter was francis coppola, who was only 3 years old at that time. He won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for this film, which made him more successful. During World War II, the director Franklin schaffner participated in the Sicilian Landing War commanded by Barton as a mid-captain of the navy. This special experience made him feel comfortable in film processing.

george scott, the actor who plays Barton, has a classic performance in the film. He has created this legendary general who is defiant, majestic and arrogant. Although george scott was awarded the title of Best Actor by Oscar, this eccentric "screen Barton" didn't buy it. Not only did he refuse to accept the award (he was the first person in the history of Oscar), but he also made a special statement to express his contempt for Oscar: "The Oscar ceremony is a two-hour performance of carnivores ... It makes actors compete with each other, which is really a depraved performance."

The film won eight Oscars, including best film, best director and best actor.

The Battle of Midway: Classic War

Against White: English soundtrack/Chinese subtitles

Starring: Oscar-winning Charlton Heston

Oscar-winning Henry Fonda

Directing: Jack smit

This film was produced in the 197s. Among a number of similar films of that year, the film treated in the traditional war film style was not a very outstanding work, and the plot of the popular drama in which the screenwriter deliberately joined son of the general in the United States and fell in love with Japanese girls was relatively mediocre, but the superstar lineup can make today's audience see the previous generation of superstars again, and the naval battle scene is really realistic, which makes the film still quite interesting.

On May 5, 1942, crowds were everywhere in urban and rural areas of Japan. They are holding colorful carp flags and kites to celebrate the annual "Boys' Day". The Imperial Chiefs of Staff in Tokyo chose this auspicious day, issued the 18th Order of the Navy, and approved the plan of Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, commander-in-chief of the Japanese joint fleet, to attack Midway Island.

midway is an annular coral island in the Pacific Ocean, which is 2,5 miles from Tokyo and less than 1, miles from the Hawaiian Islands in the United States. It is an important aviation base in the United States. Yamamoto advocated attacking and occupying Midway Island in order to lure the remaining Pacific fleet of the United States after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor to Midway Island and then annihilate it in one fell swoop.

Japan's joint fleet has nearly 2 ships, including 11 battleships and 8 aircraft carriers, with 7 aircraft on board. However, the US Pacific Fleet was hit hard in the Pearl Harbor campaign five months ago, so it could only concentrate on three aircraft carriers, seven heavy cruisers and 17 destroyers.

However, after the successful attack on Pearl Harbor, Yamamoto was a little carried away. In the deployment of this attack on Midway Island, he forgot the principle that the navy should concentrate its strength and divided his fleet into six small fleets, which weakened his advantage. In particular, the Operational Intelligence Service of the US Pacific Fleet Headquarters cracked the Japanese navy code in advance, and knew the target, time and details of the battle deployment of Japan's attack like the back of his hand.

as early as mid-may, the operational intelligence service of the U.S. Pacific fleet headquarters found the word "AF" in a telegram intercepted in Japan, which attracted the attention of intelligence personnel. On May 2, they intercepted another telegram, the content of which was the battle plan issued by the Japanese joint fleet to various units. There are many references to "AF" in it. It seems that "AF" refers to a place. After analysis, the operational intelligence service thinks it may refer to midway island. But is this information accurate or not?

Lieutenant Colonel Rochefort of the Operational Intelligence Division thought hard and finally came up with a plan to prove that "AF" refers to Midway Island. He sent instructions to Midway Island through the submarine telegraph system, asking the commander guarding the island to send an emergency wireless telegram in ordinary English, saying that the water supply distillation tower on Midway Island was broken. Rear Admiral Brock, commander of the 14th sea area, immediately called back and said that a water supply ship was on its way to the island for emergency water supply. This plan is really clever. Within 24 hours, the Operational Intelligence Department intercepted a secret message sent by Japan from the radio station on Waitai Island, which said that "AF" was obviously short of water.

then the Japanese side issued an order in a secret telegram asking the troops to bring more water.

Admiral Nimitz, commander-in-chief of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, immediately made a battle plan against Isoroku Yamamoto. In order to avoid direct confrontation with the superior enemy, we must weaken the enemy's forces with a war of attrition and attack each isolated enemy with submarines and bombers. Nimitz ordered the use of intelligence advantages to make up for the numerical disadvantages in order to concentrate on defeating the Japanese assault troops. In order to ensure that the American aircraft carrier arrives at the right place at the right time, Nimitz ordered the operational intelligence service to provide the exact time of the "AF" operation. However, after three days and three nights of intense decoding, the key dates hidden in these passwords have not been solved. On May 24th, at the operational meeting convened by Nimitz, Rochefort, who had been busy all night the night before, racked his brains to decipher the five-digit code that the Japanese army could not cope with. His eyes were bloodshot, and he was exhausted but proudly reported that attack force, a Japanese carrier aircraft, would attack midway on June 4th. They will come from the northwest, bearing 325. 175 miles from midway, they will be discovered by us at 6: midway time.

on June 1st, 1942, all Japanese joint fleets were dispatched. On this day, overcast clouds covered the Japanese ship and sailed eastward. The soldiers who set sail from Saipan are convinced that they will definitely occupy midway.

They told the people who stayed on the island that if they received their letters from home, please forward them to "Sunrise Island"-a new name given by Japan to Midway Island, which will be occupied soon. Before leaving, Isoroku Yamamoto wrote to his mistress and said, "Now it's a critical moment." As for the decisive battle planned by him, he said vaguely in his letter: "I don't have much expectation for it." This is in sharp contrast to his confidence in front of his subordinates.

yamamoto's decisive battle plan was messed up from the beginning. Thirteen submarines that went to Pearl Harbor to intercept the American fleet arrived a day late, while two American express fleets, according to the schedule of the Japanese attack in secret cables, had already been dispatched from Pearl Harbor and were quietly sailing to the waters of Midway Island and entered a favorable position.

On June 3rd, Japanese fleets entered the offensive position. At this time, Yamamoto and others got the information that there were no American aircraft carriers in this sea area, and they were all far away in Solomon Islands in the South Pacific.

in fact, this is a trap of American false information.

on the morning of 4th, vice admiral, the Japanese Nayun Tadashi, who was in charge of the main attack, ordered 18 planes from four aircraft carriers, namely, Chicheng, Kaga, Feilong and black dragon, to be dispatched immediately to attack Midway Island. At this time, 119 American planes on the island, because they got the information in advance, all took off to meet and escape the bombing.

After the first batch of planes left the mother ship, Nan Yunzhong ordered the second batch of planes to ascend to the deck, put on torpedoes and prepare to attack American warships. At this time, the first Japanese plane commanders who bombed Midway Island returned, and the report called for a second bombing of Midway Island. So, Nan Yunzhong ordered the soldiers to unload the torpedo and replace it with a bomb. Suddenly, the deck was as busy as a bee. At this moment, the Japanese reconnaissance plane reported that 1 American ships were located 2 miles northeast. This news surprised Nan Yunzhong, because he knew that such a large fleet had at least one aircraft carrier.

So Nan Yunzhong ordered the plane on the deck to attack the American ship instead. In this way, we have to unload the bomb and install the torpedo. It happened that the first batch of planes bombed midway returned, and the second batch of planes stopped on the deck, leaving them nowhere to land. Nan Yunzhong ordered the flight deck to be vacated and the returning plane to land.

the fighter plane was delayed, and time passed by. The bombers taking off from the American aircraft carrier went straight for Chicheng, Kaga and black dragon, and the bombs roared down. After the eight large aircraft carriers were shot, they immediately caused the aircraft on board to catch fire and the bombs piled on the deck to explode continuously. In an instant, shrapnel flew across the deck, causing an explosion in the depths of the hull, destroying the engine room and failing the rudder. Many planes on deck either burned down or fell into the sea. Soon, these three behemoths turned into piles of scrap iron and sank into the Pacific Ocean.

Nanyun Zhongyi is conducting on the flagship "Chicheng", and all this makes him stupefied. Urged by his men, he left the burning flagship and moved to a cruiser to report to Isoroku Yamamoto. At this time, Yamamoto was sitting majestically on his flagship "Yamato", which was the largest battleship in the world at that time. The news of the fiasco made his stomach ache violently. After a while, like a gambler who lost his eyes, he ordered all the fleets to concentrate on him in an attempt to induce the American fleet to continue westward, and wanted to destroy the American fleet with his fleet's fierce artillery fire. But the commander of the American ship saw through Yamamoto's plan and didn't fall for it.

At noon on June 4th, the surviving aircraft carrier "Feilong" dispatched planes to seriously blow up the American aircraft carrier "Yorkton", and the aircraft of the American fleet quickly took revenge and sank the "Feilong".

the defeat of Japan has been decided. In the early morning of the 5 th, Yamamoto issued an order: "Cancel the occupation of Midway Island!"

Japan lost four aircraft carriers, a heavy cruiser, 234 planes, hundreds of naval pilots and 2,2 sailors due to its disastrous naval battle in Midway. In order to cover up their disastrous defeat, the Tokyo Staff Headquarters announced that Japan had "become the most powerful country in the Pacific" after the battle after playing a loud naval March on the radio on June 1th. Four days later, when the joint fleet returned to the station, Tokyo also held a lantern parade to celebrate this "victory."

Admiral Nimitz sent his car to pick up Lieutenant Colonel Rochefort from the Operational Intelligence Division at the celebration of the headquarters of the US Pacific Fleet. The young officer, who is usually untidy, spent too much time changing clothes, and when he arrived at the meeting, he drank all the champagne. Nimitz praised Rochefort in front of all his men, saying, "The main credit for the victory of Midway should be attributed to this officer."

Midway naval battle is a turning point in the Pacific War. Admiral Kim, commander-in-chief of the US Navy, said: "The battle of midway was the first decisive defeat of the Japanese navy in 35 years. It ended Japan's long-term offensive and restored the balance of naval power in the Pacific. " Since then, Japan has gone from bad to worse in the Pacific War.
