谈到后勤支援,我沉重地为同是华族的志愿军战士叹一口气,综合国力的差距,就是让这些英勇的战士们流尽了鲜血,很多事情是从不经意的细节中透露出来的,美国人在《朝鲜战争》这个网页上,对每个枪械都进行了说明,其中一个关于重机枪的说明中,对志愿军和美军的机枪战术有一个细节描写:
American forces used the light and heavy machine guns mostly at a few hundred yards or less, contrary to their design concepts. This was the nature of the battles our company and platoon sized forces faced, which were mostly defensive. The Chinese used them at greater distances but, at least in the early phases of the Korean war, used them sparingly at these distances. Probably because of the difficulty of transporting the heavy guns and ammunition over long distances on foot, which was often their only available method. They were used most effectively in defensive positions, and blocking positions for their attacking units to safely fall back to and re-group.
我翻译如下:
美国军队在几百米外就开始使用轻重机枪,这违反了枪械的设计初衷。这是因为我们的连排一级军队面临的战斗形式决定的——大部分是防御战。中国人也在很远的距离上使用,至少在朝鲜战争的初期是这样的,但是这种使用近乎于吝啬。可能是因为他们的重武器和弹药通过人力来进行长途运输十分困难,而通过这种运输方式几乎是他们唯一的方法。中国人机枪的使用大部分是有效地运用于防守面,并且用火力来覆盖他们攻击的目标想要退却和重新集结的位置。
通过上面美国人的话,我们可以知道,第一,机枪对于志愿军来说都成为了重武器;第二,志愿军的运输方式很落后,弹药匮乏;第三,在这种情况下,志愿军采取的还是攻势。
鉴于是纯武器讨论贴,我就不发表个人情感上的意见了,心里默默为这些牺牲的烈士们祈福。
