On the second night of the ground war, I realized that darkness would never fall. To the south of my position with the 42nd Field Artillery Brigade near the border of Iraq and Kuwait, the sky glowed deep red. Kuwait’s oil was going up in flames.
From the first moments of Desert Storm, I was amazed by the sheer scale of the campaign. As the sky brightened on the first morning of the invasion, I stared at my own column of tanks, trucks, and other support vehicles stretching as far as I could see front and back, with identical lines on either side from horizon to horizon.
But if there was a war to fight, it wasn’t here. We made progress as fast as we could. Once in a while we stopped, and soldiers dashed around carrying powder explosives. Then with a roar our big guns launched a rain of fire ahead of our advancing columns to soften up the enemy. During four days of advance, the unit, attached to the Army’s VII Corps, fired an ear-numbing 5,440 artillery rounds and 1,286 rockets. The invasion route took us north, deep into Iraq. Then we turned sharply southeast and headed toward Kuwait.
选项
答案
地面战斗打响的第二夜,我便意识到在这里黑暗永远不会降临。我所在的第42野战炮兵旅的阵地靠近伊拉克和科威特的边界。在我们的南面,天空一片暗红,科威特的油井在燃烧。
“沙漠风暴”一开始,我便被这个战役的规模惊呆了。在入侵的第一天清晨,天刚亮,我凝视着我所在的由坦克、军车和其他辅助车辆排成一行的车队向前和向后伸延,一望无际。左右两侧有同样的一行行军队,前后望去也是无边无际的。
但是,如果说要有一场战斗的话,那不会在这里。我们兼程前进。偶尔我们停下来,战士们就拿着炸药包四处奔跑。然后,我们的大炮随着轰鸣声向我们前进车队的前方雨点般地发射炮火,以压倒敌人。在向前推进的四天中,这支隶属陆军第七军的部队共发射了5 440发震耳欲聋的炮弹和1 286枚火箭。沿着入侵路线,我们向北推进,深入伊拉克腹地。然后,我们又猛地折向东南,向科威特挺进。
