战场上小故事
so impressed was general ewell by the gallantry of a federal cavalry officer during the american civil war that he ordered his soldiers to refrain from shooting at him.
stonewall jackson later took ewell to task... "shoot the brave officers, and the cowards will run away and take their men with them," he said.
美国内战期间,尤厄尔将军见联邦军一位骑兵军官激励部下奋不顾身,深感敬佩,下令士兵不要向他开枪。
「石壁」杰克逊后来责备尤厄尔说:「射杀勇敢的军官,怯懦的就会连同部下望风溃逃。」
