Audie Murphy was born in 1926 in the "unpretentious" state of Texas to parents who had 12 children, and Murphy was the sixth child. But his father ran away from home, and Murphy had to drop out of school to work on the farm for just a dollar a day. There are many children in the family, and the food in everyone's hands is naturally very small. In his spare time, Murphy had to go up the mountain with a rifle on his back to hunt, hunt some wild game such as rabbits and pheasants, and prescribe meat to his family.
Murphy
In 1941, Murphy's mother died, and the family lost its pillars, for which the eldest sister had to send three younger siblings to an orphanage. At the end of the year, after the outbreak of the Pearl Harbor Incident, Murphy planned to join the army, but because he was too young to reach the legal age of enlistment, he was rejected by the army.
A year later, the sister tampered with Murphy's age through fraudulent means, but Murphy was only 165 centimeters short and weighed only 49 kilograms because of long-term malnutrition, and only 49 kilograms (when he retired from the army, Murphy's height grew to 170 centimeters, weighed 65 kilograms, and the life of the army was really exercised), he looked very thin, did not meet the regulations, and was rejected by the Navy and paratroopers, only the Army promised to admit him.

During the training, Murphy fainted during the training due to lack of physical fitness, and the commander saw that Murphy had a baby face and was not suitable for the battlefield, so he wanted him to go to the logistics unit to bake bread, but Murphy refused. Murphy insisted on serving in the front-line combat units, and after his unremitting efforts, he finally went to the battlefield in 1943.
In Casablanca, Morocco, North Africa, Murphy became an infantryman in the 1st Battalion, 15th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Infantry Division, where he received exercise training. Late on the night of July 9, 1943, the Allies landed on Sicily, Italy, with Murphy's forces involved.
Murphy's Medal
During the melee, Murphy excelled, first killing two Italian officers who were preparing to escape on horseback and promoting him to corporal. At the end of the year, during a night patrol outside the south-central Italian city of Salerno, Murphy used his superior marksmanship to knock out a German squad and promote him to sergeant.

In August 1944, the repeatedly postponed Operation Dragoon program was finally implemented, and American troops landed in southern France, in conjunction with the Allied forces that landed in Normandy in northern France, preparing to attack the Germans in France from north to south. Garrisoning the southern part of France was the german Nineteenth Army, which was less effective, and although most of its forces were used against the French resistance, some of the Germans performed very well on the battlefield.
Murphy's comrade-in-arms Lattie Tipton, while accepting the surrender of the German machine gun squad, was shot through the neck by the surrendered German machine gun and died of his wounds. Seeing the death of his best friend who fought side by side, Murphy, who was almost crazy, after eliminating this deceitful squad, snatched the german machine gun, fired wildly at the enemy, and used grenades to remove several nearby German fire points and snipers. For his exceptional performance, Murphy was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross after the Congressional Medal of Honor.
Murphy's Third Infantry Division was severely depleted during the war, and Murphy, who fought bravely, was soon promoted to second lieutenant platoon leader. It wasn't long before Murphy was wounded by stray bullets and was awarded the Purple Heart Medal, which only the dead and wounded could earn.
On January 26, 1945, in Hertzville, France, Murphy, who had just become a company commander, ushered in a new test. His company consisted of 128 men, and because the weather was too cold, the troops fought continuously, and the wounds and illnesses were severely reduced, and only 19 were able to fight.
Murphy's enemy was 6 Tiger tanks and 2 reinforced companies of German infantry. The two M10 tank destroyers allocated to Murphy's company were quickly muted by the Tiger tanks, which saw that there were only a dozen American infantry left on the battlefield, and withdrew from the battlefield to support other units.

At that time, Murphy was swinging and physically weak (Li Yunlong also had malaria in "Bright Sword"), and in the case of the M2 carbine ammunition in his hand, Murphy also braved the rain of bullets to climb up the already on fire M10 tank destroyer, maneuvered the 12.7mm Browning M2 heavy machine gun, and fired at the German soldiers attacking from three directions.
During the battle, Murphy suffered a leg injury and insisted on staying in the car to block the German attack with machine guns until reinforcements arrived. In this battle, Murphy fought the enemy alone for more than an hour, killing and wounding more than 240 enemy troops until friendly troops arrived. Murphy received his highest honor, the Congressional Medal of Honor. Of course, this kind of legendary hero who is like a yan double eagle with a hundred, the battle record is true or false, and whether there is a us military propaganda department behind the operation, the true feelings are unknown.

It didn't take long for Murphy to be promoted to lieutenant, and he received 33 medals in World War II, and by the time he retired, he was already famous throughout the country, returning to the United States to participate in various parades, banquets, and speeches. After the war, Murphy successfully transformed into an actor and entered Hollywood, making 44 films, most of which were Western cowboy films.
But the most famous and lucrative film was filmed in 1955 as an adaptation of Murphy's autobiographical novel, a box office record that was not broken by Spielberg's Jaws until 1975.

Murphy has been in the film for more than two decades and has left his name on the Walk of Fame, but like many World War II veterans, he has been plagued by traumatic stress phobia, has been depressed, and even had to rely on drugs for a while. In the end, Murphy publicly stepped forward and asked the U.S. government to provide psychological counseling for veterans of the war.
Captain America
On May 28, 1971, the legendary hero died of an air crash while out on a private jet, at the age of 47. Buried in Arlington National Cemetery after his death, Murphy became the second most popular interviewee after president Kennedy. The superhero Captain America in the Marvel universe is based on Audi Murphy.
