主题：黑水白雪长津湖(3) -- 瀚海拾贝

《The Last Stand of Fox Company》,美国海军陆战1师7团2营F连（FOX连），在长津湖逃跑时，受命抢占一个高地，后来美国人称这个高地为Fox Hill（F山/狐狸山）。这本书描写当时的低温：

The cold becomes so intense that rifles and machine guns jam with ice, bazookas will not fire, and the Marines are forced to load bullets into the chambers of their automatic weapons one at a time. But the temperature is also a blessing: scores of men are saved from death when their bullet wounds freeze over almost as quickly as they are opened.

天太冷了，步枪和机枪都结冰了，火箭筒不能发射。士兵只能把子弹一发一发地压上膛。但是寒冷的天气也有其好处：有些士兵被枪击，伤口刚开一会儿就冻住了，因而捡了条命。
