Did Pershing participate in World War II, and what kind of story happened to General Pershing during

John Joseph of the United States General Pershing:

In 1919, he was promoted to a five-star general in the army, the first five-star general John Joseph Pershing in the history of the U.S. Army.

He graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1886.

From 1904 to 1905 he served as military attache in Japan.

From 1916 to 1917, he led 10,000 U.S. troops to Mexico.

After the United States entered World War I in 1917, he served as the commander of the American Expeditionary Force in Europe and became a hero of the American Army in the Great War.

In 1921, he was appointed Chief of Staff of the Army.

He retired in 1924 and did not participate in World War II.

No, he fought in World War I and remained on home soil during World War II.

He did not participate in World War II, but the M26 "Pershing" tank participated

How old is Pershingdu in World War II, can't you let your family spend their old age in peace.

The M26 Pershing tank was equipped with the US Army's heavy tanks at the end of World War II and was designed to deal with the German Tiger tanks.

This model barely entered service before the end of World War II, and 20 vehicles were put into combat in January 1945. At the same time, in order to resist the German army's mysterious "King Tiger" heavy tank, the T26E4 with a long-barreled 90 mm gun on the basis of the T26E3 was hurriedly trial-produced, and it was put into actual combat in March 1945 (the capture of the Remagen Bridge).

As for the so-called "Super Pershing", it is a T26E4 prototype equipped with a 73x diameter T15E4 main gun, using a split shell, compared to the Pershing M3 90mm gun, this new gun has a higher muzzle velocity, when using T33 armor-piercing shells can penetrate the front armor of the German Panther tank at more than 2600 yards, and its firepower is comparable to the German Tiger's 88mm KWK43.

In addition, double armor was provided on the front.

T26E4 basic parameters:

Members: 5 full length: body length:

Vehicle width: vehicle height:

Combat Full Weight: Armor Thickness:

Upper body head: 102mm 46°

The first part of the body: the front part of the side of the body:

Rear side of the body:

Rear of the hull: Artillery shield: 114mm 0°

Turret front: 102mm 0°

Turret side: Behind turret:

Ground Pressure: Maximum Speed:

Distance: 160km

Arming: 90mmt15e2,50 m2 anti-aircraft MG 1,30m1919a4 mg×2

Only one was converted into a Super Pershing, but the T26E4 did not meet the Tiger King until the end of the war.

No, in fact, the M26 Pershing tank did not catch up with the actual combat in World War II, and the real participation in the actual combat was in the Korean War.

When the Allies and the Allies were exhausted from the struggle in World War I, the American army stepped onto European soil as a living force, and their mission was to help the British and French forces defeat the German army. Pershing, however, was in no hurry to go into battle, but was in earnest in his pre-war training, which made the British and French who were fighting hard in the trenches very anxious. Even Pershing's staff reminded him:

Our training program took too long to give the impression that the Germans were right in their prediction - that the American army would not be able to reach the front line until the British and French armies fell! Who knew that Pershing only coldly dropped a sentence: "I don't know what the Germans think, I only know that untrained soldiers can't fight!"

Pershing's rigorous style of work has won the admiration of all American politicians who have dealt with him. When Pershing was still a captain, Theodore Roosevelt** wanted to promote him to major or lieutenant colonel. When Roosevelt found out that American law did not allow this, he simply used his authority to bypass 882 officers with higher rank than Pershing and directly promoted him to brigadier general.

This is something that has never been done in the history of the United States.

Politicians and military strategists in Britain and France, however, did not like Pershing. When Pershing arrived in the war zone with the American expeditionary force marching in and training, his British and French counterparts really realized how powerful he was. Britain and France originally planned to use the US military only as a reinforcing force, not to give it the right to independently command, and only to let the United States play a supporting role.

But Pershing saw through the political intentions of Britain and France. At a coalition meeting, in the presence of British Prime Minister Lloyd George and French Prime Minister Clemenceau, he affirmed that the US military must have an independent operational direction and that he must independently direct the US military in combat. With that, he brushed his sleeves away.

With his active efforts, Britain and France had no choice but to agree to maintain the independence of the US military on the battlefield.

Pershing's strategic consciousness in exchange for an independent operational command position laid a solid foundation for the United States to establish its own military position in international affairs after World War I. Therefore, when he returned home triumphantly as a hero with a strategic vision, Pershing was warmly welcomed by the American people and was awarded the rank of special general of the army, the first since the founding of the United States.
