Sergeant Alvin York of the US Army is probably who you are asking about. Although he didn't do it single-handedly, he only had a handful of soldiers under his command, and they were able to capture over 130 German soldiers in a single battle in October 1918. He was awarded the highest citation a US soldier can earn, the Medal of Honor, for this action.

Alvin C. York did. He silenced 35 machine guns and captured 132 prisoners single handedly.
