神不神我是不敢说,但有件事可以看出朱可夫的思维特色。
二战后,艾森豪与朱可夫见面。
艾森豪说,当初德军的地雷阵让他很头痛,你都是怎么对付的?
朱可夫说,也不难,我都叫步兵直接冲。
艾森豪很惊讶:直接冲?那不就是人肉扫雷?
朱可夫说,对啊,但你必须快速通过地雷区,否则等德军来了架上机枪,
步兵死伤绝对更大。
他接着解释:地雷分两种,炸人的和炸战车的。
先叫步兵全冲,等炸人的都爆光了,再叫工兵去清炸战车的,
才能趁德军还没布防之前快速突破,这才是减少阵地战伤亡最直接的方式。
艾森豪听了无话可说。
我是从旧英文剪报的照片上,看到这件事,很遗憾没存下照片,但文字我有抄下一部分。
放在最后给大家当参考,也可以看看我有没有哪里翻译错。
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."
