oti & amp； 183； Lyon-183; Audie leon murphy was the American soldier who won the most medals in World War II. In the 27 months before and after he entered the wars in North Africa and Europe, he won 33 medals for bravery, including the highest award of the US Army, the Medal of Honor, and various medals of the US Army at that time. After the war, he became a Hollywood movie star, and his blockbuster kept the highest box office record for nearly 20 years. 197 1 year, after his death in an air crash, he was buried in Arlington National Cemetery, and the number of people who went to the cemetery to sweep his grave ranked second, second only to President Kennedy's tomb in the same cemetery. oti & amp； 183； Murphy was born into an Irish immigrant family in Hunter County, Texas. His parents are tenant farmers. According to China, he is definitely a poor middle-class farmer. No wonder he later showed it to Gao Da Quan. His parents gave birth to 12 children, 9 of whom lived to adulthood, and Oti was the sixth child. In the fifth grade of primary school, he dropped out of school to work because his father abandoned his family, and found a job of plowing fields and picking cotton in various farms nearby. When he has a job, he can earn a dollar a day to support his family. During this period, he also practiced shooting with a rifle. The prey is usually rabbits and quails, which are purely forced out, because if you can't hit the prey, you can't open the pot at home. /kloc-when he was 0/5 years old, his mother died of illness, and several young siblings were sent to an orphanage, and he didn't take them back until after the war. After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, he actively requested to join the US military. He wanted to fight Japanese devils, but he didn't expect to fight Germany mainly in the European battlefield. 1June, 942, just after his 16 birthday, his sister Connie helped him fake it, moved his birthday forward two years, pretended to be 18, and signed up for the army. However, both the Marine Corps and the Airborne Corps refused him to join the army because of his small size (1.65m), and only the Army accepted him. In XinBingLian, the company commander thought he was small and thin, and once wanted him to be a cook, but he insisted on joining the combat troops and finally got his wish and received infantry training. At the beginning of 1943, he was transported to casablanca as a supplementary soldier of the 3rd Army Division 15 Infantry Regiment1Battalion Company B, but did not directly participate in the fighting in Africa. On July 1943 and 10, the 3rd Division landed in Sicily as the left wing of Barton's 7th Army, and fought in Sicily and Italy. At Oti&; - 183; In the first battle, Murphy saw two enemy officers jumping on two horses from the ground to escape, so he fired two shots and knocked the two officers off their backs, so he was promoted to corporal. 1943 In September, American troops landed in Salenitana, Italy. One night, a patrol led by Oti was ambushed by the Germans. He fought calmly, but the ambushed Germans were killed and captured several people. This battle also promoted him to staff sergeant. He won a series of medals in subsequent battles such as Ansio. 1In August, 944, the 3rd Division landed in the south of France. In the battle, Oti's comrade-in-arms Brandon was killed in front of a German machine gun position that was wrongly surrendered. Otie is crazy. He captured the machine gun position by himself, and then cleared several German bunkers nearby with German machine guns. For this reason, he won the US Army's "Distinguished Service Medal" (DSC), which is second only to the "Medal of Honor". In this battle, the third division suffered 4500 casualties. Soon after, he won the Silver Star Medal and was promoted to the platoon leader of the warrant officer. However, two days after his promotion/kloc-0, he was shot in the thigh by a sniper, hospitalized/kloc-0, and returned to the army with a bandage. But a few days later, a mortar shell exploded beside him, killing two comrades-in-arms and wounding him. 1945 65438+1promoted to company commander on October 25th. The next day1945 65438+1October 26th was the day when he really shone. The Battle of Holtwitzle in France started. At that time, the temperature was below zero 10℃ and the thickness of snow reached 60 cm. Because of continuous operations, his institute won the highest medal of the US military-the Medal of Honor under such circumstances. The medal certificate authoritatively describes the process of the battle: "Company B led by Chief Warrant Officer Murphy was attacked several times by six German tanks and several infantry. Warrant Officer Murphy ordered the whole company to retreat to the preset position in the Woods behind him, leaving only himself to observe in the forward position and directing our artillery to shoot by telephone, which caused great harm to the advancing German infantry. In the battle, on the right side behind him, one of our self-propelled anti-tank guns was directly hit and burned by enemy gunfire, and the surviving gunners also retreated to the Woods. At this time, the enemy infantry has rushed to the position parallel to Murphy. When Sergeant Murphy saw this, he climbed onto the burning self-propelled anti-tank gun, risked the explosion of anti-tank shells, and strafed the German infantry with the vehicle-mounted 12.7mm machine gun. He was exposed to German artillery fire in all three directions, but he kept shooting German infantry with machine guns, killing dozens of people, forcing the infantry to retreat from German tanks, and the German tanks had to retreat. He stayed in the position for more than an hour, during which a German infantry squad tried to sneak up on him and pull him out. When he found out, he wiped him out with a machine gun. The nearest enemy is only 10 yards (about 9 meters). He was injured in the leg in the battle, but he ignored it completely. He didn't return to the Woods until the bullets ran out and the telephone line used to command the artillery was blown off by the shells. After meeting with the company, he forgot to dress the wound, and immediately organized the whole company (19 people) to fight back and command the artillery to shoot again. In this battle, he personally killed and wounded about 50 Germans. His fearless courage not only saved the company from encirclement and suppression, but also enabled the Germans to never overcome their goals. " In the battle from February to October, Murphy's record was to destroy 6 German tanks, kill about 240 Germans and capture more enemies. At the end of the war, he not only won all the medals of the US military (including three Purple Hearts from three injuries), but also won five medals from France and Belgium. In World War II, the American army won the most medals. Only one Colonel Matt Urban in the United States Army won more medals than him. However, the colonel's awards are not complete, and he also lacks important distinguished service medals. Supposedly, the war is over, and the stories of all war heroes are almost over here, but don't forget Oti &；; - 183; Lyon-183; Murphy lives in America, which is an American legend. 1June, 945, one month after Germany surrendered, Oti returned from Europe. In his hometown of Texas, he was greeted by flowers, cocktail parties and speeches everywhere. 1945 Retired from active service in September, with the rank of Lieutenant. However, after the * * * war broke out in 1950, he joined the 36th Division of Texas National Guard again, but the 36th Division was not sent to * * *. He finally retired from the National Guard in 1966, and the final rank was major. In the post-war days, Oti suffered from post-traumatic syndrome for a long time. Insomnia, depression and nightmares accompanied him, and he became addicted to sleeping pills in the mid-1960s. He bravely broke the taboo of not talking about post-war mental illness at that time, called on people to pay attention to the mental problems of soldiers in World War II, and asked the United States to pay attention to and study them. He got married twice after the war, and the second marriage brought him two sons. As a war hero, he was the cover of Life Weekly on July 6, 1945, and this photo attracted the attention of Hollywood. 1In September, 945, he was introduced to Hollywood and played roles in several films, but the first few years were not easy. Most of them play small roles in westerns, such as cowboys, villains and professional killers. 1949, he wrote an autobiography, Hell and Back. This book is modest and low-key It doesn't mention much about his medals and achievements, nor does it describe itself as a hero. On the contrary, he mainly remembers and praises his comrades. Unexpectedly, it was this book that aroused the interest of Universal Pictures and decided to put it on the screen and let Oti perform it himself. 1955, the first round box office of this movie reached10 million dollars, making it the most popular movie in the 43 years since Universal was founded. The total box office of the film remained the first in the world for 20 years, and it was not until 1975 that Spielberg's Jaws broke it. Oti naturally became a successful movie star. He has appeared in more than 30 films and some TV plays. His film and autobiography earned more than $3 million. Besides, he is a well-known country song lyricist and has made a record. On the way to&,the star of Vine Street 160 1 is Oti&-183; Lyon-183; Murphy star. 1971May 28th, on the weekend of Memorial Day of World War I, Oti was on his private jet, which crashed on a mountain in Virginia, killing him, the pilot and several other passengers. 1971June 7, Oti &；; - 183; Lyon-183; Murphy's body was buried in Arlington cemetery. The representative who attended the funeral on behalf of the United States was also a World War II veteran who won many medals and later US President George &-183; ***。 Oti once said in front of him that the tombstone should be the same as that of ordinary comrades-in-arms, so the tombstone itself was unremarkable, but because there were too many people who worshipped God, the cemetery later paved a special road for it. There is a mistake on the tombstone that people are unwilling to correct, that is, the date of birth still says Oti &；; - 183; Lyon-183; Murphy lied about the year two years ago,1June 20, 924, in order to infiltrate the US military.
