"Over 70,000 Marines---the 3rd,4th, ang 5th Divisions----massed in the ships that had finally arrived at Island X, ready to hit the narrow two-mile beach in successive phases. Awaiting them, dug into the island and out of sight, 22,000 elite Japanese----the Rising Sun----who understood that they were to die." 正在读《Flags of our Fathers》,读到大战开打前时刻的这一段话,不仅肃然! 10万人在一个巴掌大的小岛上死拼了36天,死伤一半----5万人,其中战死的近3万。 想起《Band of Brother》里的一句台词:“你得先把自己当成已经是一个死人了,才能在战斗中发挥出一个士兵的正常作用”,诚然! |
