Hello everyone, I am Brother Eagle, there is such a person, he carries a Scottish broadsword around his waist, holds a Scottish longbow in his hand, a pair of eagle-like eyes are constantly looking out from the trench, suddenly, his eyes are shocked as if he saw something, and then he drew an arrow from the quiver bag behind him and held it in his hand, and then suddenly stood up and bent the bow to take the arrow, only to hear a whimper, only the bow string was still slightly trembling, but the arrow had already shot into the chest of an enemy soldier, and then he drew his long sword and rushed forward in the roar of his comrades Maybe just by virtue of this paragraph, everyone doesn't think there's anything surprising about it, isn't it just a man shooting an enemy army with a longbow? So if Brother Eagle told everyone that this picture took place during the Second World War, the first point was Dunkirk, the British army holding the longbow, the dead enemy army was the German army, and the German army was holding an MP40 submachine gun, do you think that the person holding the bow and arrow has a normal brain? This man's last name was Churchill.
Winston churchill
Although the same surname but he is not well known as the British Prime Minister, this Churchill from an old aristocratic family in Oxfordshire, England, because the act of killing the enemy with a cold weapon is no different from a madman, so the comrade-in-arms gave him the nickname of madman Jack, not much to say, let's understand the legendary life of this fierce man, mad jack full name is John Malcolm Pso Fleming Churchill, because the name is too long, I will call him John, in 1906, John was born in British Ceylon, As for today's Sri Lanka, as for why he was born in Ceylon, it was because his father served there, and then he did not return to England until 1917, and as most British aristocrats chose, he attended military school, and in 1926 he graduated from the Sandhurst Military Academy and began his first military career, which served in the Manchester Army Corps stationed in Burma, eight years after the end of the First World War, so it was a relatively peaceful era.
John
John had a good life in this period, first fell in love with riding motorcycles through the cities and villages of Burma, and then in cameron Heights infantry united to meet a major, to learn from him how to play bagpipes, although as a weapon of war, the bow and arrow has long been eliminated by the times, but John is particularly concerned about the bow and arrow, archery skills were also learned during this period, and after continuous practice, his archery skills can be said to be almost a hundred shots, in 1936, John in the Manchester Sixth Army after the end of his service, Began his working career, he first went to a newspaper in Kenya as an editor, probably felt that sitting in the office is too boring, dancing ink, no dance knife to get gun stimulation, he began to try new ways of living, and then with a strong physique, he began to be a model, but also mixed into the film and television industry, participated in two films, although as a stand-in or supporting role, in 1938 John participated in the Bagpipe Competition held in Aldershot, England, and achieved the second place.

In 1939, with the archery he had trained in the military, he also represented Britain in the World Archery Championships in Oslo, according to common sense, he would become a musician, or become an athlete, but it was at this time that Germany blitzed Poland, World War II, and the haze of war covered the entire European continent, but John seemed a little excited, because he knew that he could return to the barracks he loved, but John's unusual thing was that his soul seemed to be occupied by a medieval knight. When it was recalled to the Manchester Regiment, he carried a very special piece of equipment, wearing a British World War II uniform, a Tony helmet on his head, and a revolver and a short knife around his waist.
Royal Knight of england
If only here, then everything is normal, but in addition, he is also carrying a longbow and a quiver, carrying bagpipes on his shoulders and holding a Scottish broadsword in his hand, ordinary people see someone wearing such a piece of equipment on the modern battlefield, they will ridicule an adult era change, let alone John's chief, the bow and arrow is still a long-range weapon, but what is the matter with a sword, when the commander angrily asked him why he should bring a sword, John replied so, any officer who does not carry a sword is not neatly dressed, Not knowing exactly what kind of deal the two had made, John eventually took all his equipment to the battlefield, and the glorious moment that belonged to John was staged.
My lord! Times have changed!
During the Dunkirk evacuation in May 1940, he was ordered to lead a squad to defend Richburg near the beach, he said to his men that they were ambushed in the trenches, and that I would shoot the first German with my bow and arrow, and this was our offensive signal, and when the Germans entered the range of his longbow, he aimed at a German soldier and quickly opened his bow, at the same time, the German soldier also found him, perhaps he could not believe that the enemy on the other side actually shot at him with a bow and arrow, and the German soldier froze. John seized the opportunity to take the lead in shooting an arrow through the chest of the German soldier, he also set a record for the first time that the English longbow was killed on the modern battlefield, the British soldiers who witnessed all this were excited, they used to think that the bow and arrow was just a decoration, who could think of really killing the enemy, so they fired fiercely together and hit the German army, that is, at this time a more outrageous scene appeared, John roared, holding the Surranco broadsword and rushed out of the trench, only to see him flash left and right to avoid the enemy's fire, I don't know whether it was luck or experience, really by him broke through to the enemy's position, the fierce white-knife battle was about to start, his gun and sword were used in an instant, 3 German soldiers became the ghosts under his sword, and two were killed by him with a revolver, and finally captured a collapsed German soldier, after this battle, John's reputation rose, the title of mad Jack was completely spread, after returning to England from France, John underwent strict commando tactical training, in December 1941, John received orders, Leading a small detachment to raid the Norwegian island of Vog, destroying the German artillery positions on the island, and clearing the threat for the main landing after that, the following photo is even more blood-boiling, and the far right of the photo is John.
John in the lower right corner
Although we can't see the face, of course the long sword is particularly striking, they took advantage of the night and fog, the sudden blow caught the Germans by surprise, and finally more than 100 German soldiers with guns were captured by John, in addition, they destroyed the German military docks, the ships in the harbor were also sunk by them, John's real highlight was the Sicily landing operation in July 1943, john led a commando team to land in Catania, As he advanced toward the town of Maureen with three of his men, he found a German post, and John, after finding a vantage point, quietly shot the German sentry with his longbow, occupied the post, and captured a German.

Then he and one of his subordinates were led by this German prisoner and touched the German stronghold, and when John put the long sword in his hand on the neck of the German commander, the German commander's head was confused, first, because their sentry did not issue any warning, and second, the man in front of him with a longbow on his back and a long sword on his neck, as if the guy who crossed over in the Middle Ages was a man or a ghost, was it really not a dream? The cold touch of the broadsword coming from his neck forced the German commander to face the reality that he had really been captured by an Englishman dressed in medieval fashion, and the commander had to lay down his weapons and order all of them to abandon resistance, so that John alone captured 42 Germans in the stronghold, captured all their equipment, including three mortars, and finally returned to the garrison safely.
German prisoners
In May 1944, John fought with his troops in Yugoslavia, he was ordered to lead 1500 guerrillas and 44 commandos to attack the island of Brac in the Adriatic Sea, but encountered fierce fire from the Germans, after two days of fierce fighting, most of his comrades were killed, including only six survivors left, three of whom were seriously wounded, seeing that the situation had gone, the German army had also besieged, John did not choose to break through, nor did he choose to surrender. Instead, calmly picked up the bagpipe and blew a song "Are You Gone Forever" The Germans who besieged them were stunned, all this time, where the idleness, in order to prevent deception, a German soldier threw a grenade to the place where the music came, fortunately John was just blown unconscious, normally, he was going to be shot, but the German army could not do it after seeing the name on his soldier's nameplate, and the opening eagle brother mentioned that John's full name was John Malcolm Thorpe Fleming Churchill, yes His surname was Churchill, and the German soldiers at the time thought that he was related to British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and that it might be useful to stay, so they took him to Sachsenhausen in Germany, but how could the famous madman Jack be willing to be a prisoner? In September 1944, he and a RAF pilot escaped through an abandoned underground water pipe and fled all the way to the coast of the Baltic Sea, probably due to inexperience in their first escape, and he was captured again near Rostock.
Mike said I know this
In order to prevent him from finding another opportunity to escape to the sea, the Germans transferred him to the Tyrol concentration camp on the border between Austria and Italy, and the act of escaping from prison was one and two, and finally in April 1945, with his excellent field survivability and escape room skills, John successfully escaped from prison again, this time he chose to run south, successfully crossed the Saint Bernard Pass in the Alps, entered Italy, and on the eighth day of his escape, he came to a distance of 150 miles from Verona, where he encountered a U.S. armored force Although he was glad that he had succeeded in gaining his freedom, he also heard a frustrating news from an American friend he had just met, that the war in Europe was about to end, which meant that although he escaped, but there was no longer a fight, just as John kept chanting the words beginning with the letters S and F in his mouth, he suddenly thought that the European battlefield was indeed over, but the Asian battlefield was not over, so John immediately applied to return to Burma after returning to the team.
The famous Kiss of Victory in World War II
When the United States fought against the Japanese in Iwo Jima, Okinawa and other places, it experienced the attitude of the Japanese to resist to the end, in order to completely strike at the psychology of the Japanese, but also to deter the Soviet Union, the United States dropped two atomic bombs on Japan, Japan surrendered the Second World War, just when the whole world was immersed in the joy of celebrating peace, John was not happy at all. He even cursed the United States for dropping atomic bombs on Japan, he said fiercely, if it were not for these greedy and fearful Yankees, Lao Tzu could at least fight for another ten years, no matter how reluctant the madman Jack was, the war was over, but his military career was not over, at the age of 40, he passed paratrooper training, became a qualified paratrooper, and finally he went to the Middle East to continue his service, in 1959, the 53-year-old John finally ended his legendary military career, after which he spent his old age in Britain. Still from time to time to take out their beloved longbow and broadsword to swing a bit, the legend ended in 1996, at the age of 90, well, today I will talk about this, remember to pay attention to the praise is more wonderful Oh, goodbye
