Who knows Barton's story?

George patton, a four-star general in World War II, 19 12 was only a 28-year-old captain. He took part in the modern pentathlon in Stockholm Olympic Games. The modern pentathlon originated from the legend of19th century: a young French cavalry officer was ordered to fly to deliver messages. He crossed the enemy lines and met an enemy soldier waving a sword. The two men had a sword duel, and the officer won, but the mount he got off was shot and killed by another enemy soldier. The officer shot and killed the enemy soldier and continued to escape on foot. He swam across the rapids and finally delivered the news to his destination. Barton took part in such a sport that comprehensively tested people's physical fitness and skills, and at the same time had a romantic origin. Modern pentathlon includes five events: shooting, swimming, fencing, horseback riding and cross-country running. Barton's running performance is the best, ranking third among 32 athletes, fencing fourth, and quite good, riding is also good, ranking sixth, swimming seventh, but shooting is the worst, ranking only 23rd among 32 athletes. However, Barton has something to say about this achievement. He suggested to the referee: "I shot too well and several bullets hit together." It seems that there is only one bullet hole. " The referee doesn't believe Barton at all, so Barton's total score can only be ranked fifth. Barton was already an American general in World War II. He was famous for his bravery and resourcefulness. Not only his every move during the war, but also himself became the object of Nazi Germany's full research. Barton is a poet and military historian. When he was in North Africa, he said that he was a Carthaginian warrior thousands of years ago, and he was outnumbered there. In the winter campaign to save Europe 10 1 Airborne Division, he said that he was a general under Napoleon and recalled the fiasco in Moscow. So some people say that he was born in the 20th century, but his bones are ancient romance. Some people say that he is a pure soldier, and there is no life without war. He himself said that the best way for a soldier to die is to die from the last bullet in the last war. George patton was a man of the hour in the Second World War, and he was called "a general with steel courage". Is a man born only for war. He can not only believe in God and the kingdom of heaven, but also recite poems to the battlefield in blood shed. While forcing thousands of soldiers to complete the number of battles beyond their physical limits, they silently prayed for the wounded at the bedside. Later people called him an unpredictable war madman, who used his troops like a five-star general of God. Barton was born into a military family in San Gabriel, California. 1903 entered Virginia Military Academy. 1904 entered the west point military academy. In the first academic year, he was held back for one year because of his poor grades in foreign languages and mathematics. 1909, after graduating from West Point Military Academy, he served in the cavalry, and it was during this period that he participated in the Olympic Games at his own expense. After the outbreak of World War II, Barton's military talents were really displayed. 1940, Barton was appointed as the brigade commander of armored brigade. After half a year, he was promoted to a teacher. More than a year later, he was already the commander of the armored force. 1942, he led the first panzer corps to participate in the battle of landing operation in north africa, defeated Rommel, who is known as the "fox of the desert", and forced all German troops to withdraw from Africa. The following year, he commanded the Seventh Army of the United States to participate in the landing campaign in Sicily, and successively captured Palermo, an important town in Sicily, and Messina, the last German stronghold on Sicily. 1On June 6th, 944, the Allied Forces launched the "D" Day, landed in Normandy, France, and opened up the second battlefield in Europe. Barton took over as commander of the third army of the United States after landing. With his unique style and almost crazy advancing speed, he swept the northern part of France, liberated Paris, and pointed to the Saar area on the border between Germany and France. The vanguard troops have crossed the Rhine. At this time, on Christmas Eve of 1944+02, in order to save the fate of failure, Hitler put all his eggs in one basket and concentrated all his reserve forces and launched a wedge-shaped assault operation. A large number of German tank troops broke through the Allied lines, reaching a depth of 100 kilometers. In order to crush the German counterattack, the American Airborne Division 10 1 was sent to Baston, a transportation hub in Ardennes, to stop the German attack. Due to the long distance from the rear, bad weather and insufficient supply, 10 1 airborne division was surrounded by German troops, and 18000 soldiers were in danger. At this point, Barton, who is advancing in depth to Germany, received the order of Huiyuan Bastong. The snow is falling, and the snowfield is endless. Soldiers of the Third Army trudged through knee-deep snow. Barton walked with the soldiers. He used his charm to push the troops forward at an incredible speed. One night after Christmas, Barton received news after camping: Germany may reinforce Bastogne, and the weather forecast is that it will continue to snow the next day. At this point, most officers advocate stopping and waiting for the weather to improve. But Barton was anxious to save 10 1 division. He roared, "you can't stop moving forward, not for a minute!" " It seems that God and Barton have a good relationship. The next morning, the heavy snow stopped and the sun was shining. With the support of the superior air force, the Third Army, led by the Fourth Armored Division, destroyed the German defense line in one fell swoop and rescued the besieged 10 1 airborne division. Then they pursued the victory and destroyed and defeated a large number of fascist troops. Barton created a rare record in American military history. Such a brilliant record made Barton a world-famous war general and a hero who frightened fascists. But in his own eyes, all this is not as good as a game in 19 12.

After World War II, General Patton once attended a press conference. A reporter asked, "Sir, your outstanding command ability in World War II is your pride and honor. What do you think? " Barton repeatedly said, "no! Don't! Thirty-three years ago, participating in the Fifth Olympic Games was the greatest pride and honor in my life. After swimming 300 meters ashore, I went into shock. When I woke up, I told myself that I must fight for the last 4000m cross-country race. Mr. reporter, you may not know what it's like to run 4000 meters after waking up from shock, but I know. I not only finished the race, but also won the fifth place in the Olympic Games. This is the pride of my life and the honor of my life. " Shortly after the end of World War II, Barton died in a car accident in a Hummer jeep. Although Barton did not become the final winner in the Olympic Games, he used his talent and perseverance to help just people win a just war on the battlefield.
