神不神我是不敢說,但有件事可以看出朱可夫的思維特色。
二戰後,艾森豪與朱可夫見面。
艾森豪說,當初德軍的地雷陣讓他很頭痛,你都是怎麼對付的?
朱可夫說,也不難,我都叫步兵直接衝。
艾森豪很驚訝:直接衝?那不就是人肉掃雷?
朱可夫說,對啊,但你必須快速通過地雷區,否則等德軍來了架上機槍,
步兵死傷絕對更大。
他接著解釋:地雷分兩種,炸人的和炸戰車的。
先叫步兵全衝,等炸人的都爆光了,再叫工兵去清炸戰車的,
才能趁德軍還沒佈防之前快速突破,這才是減少陣地戰傷亡最直接的方式。
艾森豪聽了無話可說。
我是從舊英文剪報的照片上,看到這件事,很遺憾沒存下照片,但文字我有抄下一部分。
放在最後給大家當參考,也可以看看我有沒有哪裡翻譯錯。
He(Zhukov) described to Eisenhower, for instance, the Rusian method of
attacking through German mine fields:
"There are two kinds of mines; one is the personnel mine and the other is the
vehicular mine. When we come to a mine field our infantry attacks exactly as
if it were not there."
"The losses are no greater than they would have been from machine guns and
artilllery if the Germans had chosen to defend that particular area with
strong bodies of troops instead of with mine fields."
"The attacking infantry does not set off the vehicular mines, so after they
have penetrated to the far side of the field they form a brigade, after which
the engineers come up and dig out channels through which our vehicles go."
