November 11, 1885 The birth of General Patton, the American general
140 years ago today, November 11, 1885 (October 5, 1885 in the lunar calendar) was the birthday of General Patton, the American tiger general. Young Patton leaned against his father's thick shoulders and had a worry-free reliance. Wearing the lieutenant general's logo (three stars), he inspected Tunisian troops. The famous American general Patton won the government and the people for his outstanding performance in World War II. High praise, became a national hero in American history. On November 11, 1885, George Smith Barton was born into a noble family in California. I have loved riding since I was a child and spent a happy childhood in the pasture. At the age of 18, he entered the private Virginia Military Academy, and a year later he entered West Point Military Academy. After graduation, he was transferred to the First Army of the United States as a second lieutenant cavalry. During World War I, Patton followed General John Pershing deep into Mexico to suppress the peasant uprising. In early 1917, he returned triumphantly as a lieutenant. When the United States entered World War I, he was sent to France, where he performed brilliantly at the Battle of Saint-Michel, was promoted to colonel, and was commended for his bravery in combat and for his service in training tank troops. After four years of fierce fighting, the First World War finally ended. The people of the participating countries celebrated the arrival of peace, but Patton, who integrated himself with the war, felt that life had lost its meaning. When the Second World War broke out, Patton, who was over fifty years old, seemed to have returned to his youth. His belligerent heart was stirred up by European artillery fire and he closely watched the war situation. In 1940, he realized his dream for many years and was ordered to form a tank brigade at Fort Benning. He was soon promoted to brigadier general, and soon became a chariot expert for the US military, and later promoted to major general. In November 1942, the U.S. military in Tunisia was defeated by the German army, and their morale was low. To boost morale, Eisenhower transferred Patton to take over the army. In just ten days, Patton lifted the spirit of the US military. Under his command, the U.S. military began to recover lost ground and won every battle. What made Patton famous was the battle to capture Sicily. He commanded his troops to advance along the north coast of Sicily towards Messina, entered Messina before the British at an alarming speed and won the battle. This battle made both the Allies and the German army look at the US military with great admiration. Just as Patton was at the peak of his career, he was spared his dismissal under the protection of Marshall, Eisenhower and others for beating soldiers twice, which aroused public opinion within the U.S. military and domestic opposition. In January 1944, Patton went to England to participate in the Normandy Landing. After landing, the Allies decided to launch Operation Cobra in order to end the slow and sluggish advance. With his astonishing speed and courage, Patton turned the local breakthrough into a full-scale mobile war, allowing the Allies to finally rush out of Normandy and force the German army to withdraw completely. Then, Patton led his troops to fight on the European continent. He reached the Rhine River on March 22, 1945. He forcibly crossed the river that night and stormed Hitler's nest. Barton looks bold and straightforward, and seems to make decisions without thinking. In fact, he makes decisions after careful consideration and even precise calculations before making decisions. It is this spirit that makes him invincible. After the war against Germany, Patton was appointed military administrator of Bavaria and dismissed because of differences with Allied commander Eisenhower on the implementation of post-war European policy. On December 21, 1945, Patton was driving out hunting and died in a car accident (there is a large amount of evidence that Patton's car accident was an internal murder by the US military). He was 60 years old. He passed away while he was successful and became a hero in the hearts of the American people. It also won praise from the world. George Smith Patton Jr., dressed in military school attire, his eyes shone sharply. Young master fishing Barton caught a big fish and tied the knot-in May 1910, George Smith Barton Jr. and Beatrice Ayre were married. At the wedding of his eldest daughter in 1934, General Patton danced to his heart's content. General Patton, his wife and children General Patton is with his grandchildren and granddaughters. The family is enjoying the joy of reunion. The President of the United States has decorated Patton.
