George Patton

(Pasadena) Big landlord, the first mayor of Los Angeles, and the largest producer of wine and brandy in California. George S. Patton is the oldest and has a younger sister, Nida Shutorihhi Barton (1887- 197 1 year). Barton's ancestors were originally Scots, and he was the landlord of Abaddon in eastern Scotland. The ancestors of the Barton family who immigrated from Scotland to Virginia in the United States were Robert Barton, a contract worker, and later married Ann Gordon Mercer and entered the upper class. Many people in the family participated in important wars and died in the United States, including Robert Barton's father-in-law, the Continental Army general in the Revolutionary War and Brigadier General Hugh Mercer. General Mo Ze was outstanding in the Battle of Trenton, and then he was wounded and killed in the Battle of Princeton. A friend of my father's, john singleton mosby, is a cavalry hero and guerrilla leader of the United States. He often tells Barton about his heroic deeds in the Civil War. Barton worships the allied general "Stonewall" Jackson, and many members of his family served under Jackson. These people are brave, well-directed, confident and successful, and have become an example for Barton to follow. Barton believed in the theory of reincarnation, and thought that he was reincarnated from Hannibal, the commander-in-chief of Carthage, the soldier of the Roman legion, the marshal under Napoleon, the heavily armored infantry in ancient Greece, the cavalry of general Belisarius in eastern Rome, the Scottish highlands of Stuart dynasty and many other famous, brave and distinctive military roles. Young Barton decided that it was inevitable that he would become a general and a hero in the future. Barton and other family members claimed to have clearly witnessed the souls of their ancestors. When I went to the tailor's shop to make a uniform at Virginia Military Academy, I found that his uniform size was consistent with the height, shoulder width, waist circumference and chest circumference of his grandfather and father, and I thought it was the blessing of my ancestors. Great-grandfather is the first person in the family, named george smith patton (1June 26th, 833-1September 25th, 864), born in Fort fredericks, Virginia. 1852 graduated from Virginia Military Institute, the second of 24 students in the class, and also a member of Kappa Alpha. After graduation, I continued to study law and worked as an intern in Charleston. During the Civil War, he served as the company commander of the 22nd Infantry Regiment in Virginia, and was later promoted to the colonel and head of the 22nd Cavalry Regiment to join General Early's March into the federal capital.

All right, sneak attack. 1in September, 864, he was killed in the battle of Opequin (the third battle of Winchester). Uncle Warren. Barton died in pickett's charge at the Battle of Gettysburg. The Allied General Hugh Vuitton Mercer (the grandson of Hugh Mercer) is also one of Barton's relatives. After the civil war, great-grandmother Susan Thornton Gretel led the second george smith patton and three other children (the other two children were a man and a woman) to Los Angeles, and remarried his great-grandfather cousin George Hugh Smith (10) in 187 1. My father, formerly known as George William Barton, was born in 1856. In memory of his stepfather, he was renamed george smith patton in 1868. Aunt Anne Wilson likes Barton very much and accompanied him during his study at West Point Military Academy. Barton, a family member in this period, married Bentles Banning Eier on 1909 and had daughters Bentles Barton (19 1 1) and Ruth Ellen Barton (0). 19 15) and his son george smith patton (1923). George smith patton (formerly known as george smith patton Neve, George Smith Patton IV) was renamed george smith patton after his father George Smith Patton died in 1945. 1923 was born in Boston, Massachusetts on February 24th, and 1946 graduated from West Point Military Academy.

Zeng led 1 1 the armored cavalry regiment and the 2nd armored division, which set the first history in American military history that father and son successively commanded the same unit (2nd armored division). On June 27th, 2004, he died of Parkinson's disease. Edit this paragraph. What is the relationship between the participation of Olympic heroes in the Olympic Games and military affairs? Marathon was born because of war, and the famous General Patton in the history of war was also born in the Olympic Games. It can be said that if it hadn't been for the 19 12 Olympic Games, a great strategist would have been buried in history. Among the founders of the International Olympic Committee, there is a Swedish general Victor Gustav Bourcq. Since the establishment of the International Olympic Committee, he has always wanted to hold the Olympic Games in Sweden. 1909 Berlin renounces the right to host the Olympic Games 19 12. Bourcq seized the opportunity to bring the Olympic Games to Stockholm, Sweden, where he served as the chairman of the organizing committee. This Olympic Games, run by a general, has produced another professional soldier. Thirty years later, he led the American Panzer Corps across Europe. He is the American four-star general george patton. At the Stockholm Olympic Games, the modern pentathlon included shooting, swimming, fencing, equestrian and cross-country running, which was the first time that Coubertin strongly advocated to enter the Olympic Games. It is a comprehensive military training program, which can cultivate the brave and tenacious quality of soldiers, so most of the contestants belong to soldiers. Barton, then the captain, learned the news from others and decided to go to Sweden to participate in the competition at his own expense. Barton, who considers himself a modern soldier, thinks this is an excellent opportunity to challenge his physical strength and perseverance. Forty-three warriors took part in this remarkable competition, including three regular US military officers including Barton. After the game, the top four were taken away by Swedish players, and Barton won the fifth place. After swimming 300 meters, he was fished out of the pool with a boat hook because he had no strength at all. After running the 4000-meter cross-country race, he was exhausted and fainted under the royal observation deck before the finish line. His fifth place left an indelible impression on many people. It was because of his unyielding performance in the Olympic Games that he touched another American general Pershing at that time. In his eyes, a standard officer should be a standard soldier first. George patton, who participated in the Olympic military all-around competition, undoubtedly possessed the qualities he required. Barton was recruited by him into the army that invaded Mexico and took an important step in the military field. Just after World War II, American newspapers greatly exaggerated Barton's command ability in the war, but Barton told reporters: "It is the pride and honor of my life to participate in the Olympic Games. 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 competition, but also won the fifth place in this project. This is the pride and honor of my life. " Barton is a legend in the editor's comment on celebrities. His life shows distinct personal characteristics. His rudeness and savagery are the impressions he left for later generations in the war. Marshal Pershing even called him "a gangster in the American army." Many people think that he is "the genius of commanding the army, the pioneer with the most offensive spirit" and "Napoleon in the 20th century". However, some people think that he is "both intelligent and brave" and "arrogant and flashy". Military scholars pointed out: "As commander-in-chief, General Barton's greatest feature is to inspire his subordinates with his martial spirit and influence them to March forward bravely on the battlefield with his personality." . He is brave and tenacious in combat, decisive in command, full of offensive spirit, good at giving full play to the advantages of armored forces to carry out rapid maneuvers and long-range raids, and is called "bloody veteran" by his subordinates. Eisenhower concluded to Barton that he had an "extraordinary and cruel driving force". Marshal Alexander of England commented: Barton is a propeller, ready to take risks. He should live in the Napoleonic Wars-he will be a member of Napoleon.

George Patton

An outstanding marshal. General bulut Ritter of the German Army (who was the chief of staff of von rundstedt) wrote: "We have a high opinion of General Barton, and think that he is the most aggressive' armored general' in the Allied Forces and an incredibly creative and efficient man. He is very much like our own' armored general' guderian. Perhaps it is because he is closest to the classical military commander in our concept, and his operational command has left a particularly deep impression on us. He even further improved Napoleon's basic theory that soldiers are expensive and fast. " General Hermann Balck (who commanded the German G Army Group and later handled the 3rd Army Group in siegfried line) frankly concluded: "General Barton was an outstanding tactical genius in the Second World War. I still regard confronting him as a great honor and unforgettable experience. " Comprehensive evaluation: george patton, a four-star general in the U.S. Army, is known as "General with Iron Courage". Rudeness and barbarism were his impressions in the war, and Marshal Pershing even called him "a gangster in the American army". But if you think that he is a warrior who can only fight, it is all wet. General Barton's intentions in the military field are all-round, including the crystallization of wisdom and deliberation. The success of Barton's Sword is an example. The United States is a country that is good at using axes, and early cavalry were more accustomed to wielding sabres to cut and kill. During the training, the cavalry rode on horseback and waved their machetes like bats. Young Barton saw all this in his eyes and couldn't help thinking in his heart. At that time, Barton had won the third place in fencing in the military pentathlon of the Fifth Olympic Games, and was known as "the first fencing master in the army" and won the honorary title of "fencing master". After attending the Olympic Games, Barton went to Somir Military Academy in France to study fencing. There, he found that French cavalry used sabre far more often than American cavalry. The reason is simple: the French stab the knife with the tip of the knife, while the Americans cut it with a blade. Compared with slashing, stabbing

George patton can get close to the enemy faster and fight more efficiently. With the idea of improving cavalry sabers, Barton was transferred to Fort Myers, Virginia. This is a cavalry station with the best riders in the army and the best officers from America. They are familiar with every important person in Washington. In this "closest to God" place, the hot-blooded Barton decided to do something big, and improving the cavalry saber was his "stepping stone". "Change the machete popular in the US military into a French straight knife." Barton wrote his ideas clearly in the article and handed them to Colonel Grad, head of the Fort Myers Cavalry Corps. Colonel is an old cavalry, of course, understand how important Barton's idea is. He suggested that Barton add some more content, and then post the article on Cavalry Monthly. Encouraged, Barton didn't listen to the head's advice. He turned his attention to higher-level military publications. He knew that the small cavalry monthly was not enough to attract the attention of the military high-level. In his letter to his fiancee, he wrote: "I hope this article can cause a sensation. I believe it will. " Sure enough, Barton's article was published in the influential Lu Haijun magazine on June 1 91March 65438+ 10/Sunday, which immediately attracted the attention of the military. "I think I'm going to be famous!" Barton was very excited. A few months later, the army chief of staff, General Wood, ordered that 20,000 new sabers be built according to Barton's design style and specifications. This new cavalry saber is a linear design, with a length of 940mm, a width of 25.7mm and a very long blade. It is an ideal stabbing weapon and can be perfectly used for stabbing. Barton's study and thinking have borne fruit. The new saber was cast in a factory in Springfield. In order to ensure the production quality of saber, Barton was specially assigned to be responsible for inspection and acceptance. The US Deputy Minister of Ordnance is also satisfied with Barton's new saber. He said: "Barton's skills and experience as a fencer are very valuable to the Ordnance Department." The new saber needs a new training course. Barton, who is proud of the spring breeze, began to write the saber teacher's handout. 1914 in March, the book saber training was approved and published by the war department. Barton further strengthened the spirit of "knife tip" attached to his new saber in his book: remember that the knife tip is the overwhelming focus, and energetic and enterprising soldiers should pierce the enemy's body like a knife tip in the attack ... The mass-produced new cavalry saber is widely used in cavalry units and is famous as "Barton Sword". 1965438+In March 2006, when Barton was transferred to the Fort Bliss Cavalry, he was glad to see that all the sabers used in the team were "Barton Sword" designed by himself. The discovery made him cry with excitement. But sharp bullets make cavalry sabers useless. "Barton sword" has become more of a symbol of cavalry equipment, and is rarely used in actual combat. After Barton became famous, he didn't have the opportunity and courage to take his "Barton's Sword" and fight the Nazis. Edit this classic quotation 1. Americans never forgive losers. Americans despise cowards. Now that Americans have taken part in the competition, they will win. I laugh at those who laugh when they lose. The so-called personal heroism is a pile of horse manure. Those guys who have extra bile and shit in the Saturday night post all day know no more about real fighting than they do about women. We have the best materials, the best weapons and equipment, the most vigorous fighting spirit and the best soldiers in the world. To tell the truth, I feel sorry for those bastards who will fight with us. Really. Not all heroes are as described in the legend. Every soldier in the army plays an important role. Never idle away and think that your task is insignificant. Everyone has his own task, so we must do it well. Everyone is an indispensable link in the long chain. This cowardly son of a bitch can make an excuse for himself: "Fuck it, the earth will go around without me, I'm only one in ten million." But what if everyone thinks so? So what should we do? What will become of our country, relatives and even the whole world? No, damn it, Americans don't think so. Everyone should finish his task. Everyone should be responsible for the collective. 6. There is no room for cowards in our army. All cowards should be cut off like rats. Otherwise, they will sneak home after the war and give birth to more cowards. I am a hero and a coward. Kill all cowards and our country will be ruled by warriors. 7. A pint of sweat can save a gallon of blood. After eight or twenty years, you will be glad that you participated in this world war. At that time, you were by the fireplace, and your grandson sat on your knee and asked you, "Grandpa, what did you do in World War II?" You don't have to cough awkwardly, move your grandson to the other knee and say hesitantly, "Ah … Grandpa, I was shoveling manure in Louisiana." On the contrary, brothers, you can look him in the eye and say confidently, "Grandson, Grandpa, I fought with that son of a bitch george patton in the Third Army! Remember, our rifle is the best killing weapon in the world. Germans are scared to death. So make good use of it ... every battle can shoot 100 bullets, and you can live a long life ... rifles or machine guns that never fire are not as good as fire sticks. 10, I want you to remember that no bastard won the war by dying for his country. Winning the war depends on letting those poor people in the enemy country die for their country. 1 1. I don't want to receive a telegram saying "we are holding our ground". We don't hold any positions, let the Germans hold their positions. 12, my biggest regret is that I was not killed at the end of the war, which made me feel very unhappy. Otherwise, I will be more perfect in your eyes [1]! 13, the war is simple, crisp and ruthless, so we need a simple and ruthless person to carry it out! Many streets in the United States are named Barton Avenue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, General George Barton Road in Shivell, Tennessee, and M 19 13 cavalry saber designed by Barton, also known as Barton saber. American M46 tanks, M47 tanks, M48 tanks and M60 tanks are all named Barton tanks. 1970 Biography of the American war movie General Patton, with george patton as the leading role, telling his exploits.
