A AWAR OF THEIR OWN

摘要

A fter leading a daring campaign against the Japanese in 1943, British Major General Orde C Wingate realised that his style of warfare had attracted much interest. US General 'Hap' Arnold wrote of his colleague's exploits: "He proved that Allied ground troops could operate behind the enemy's lines, cutting off his supply system and upsetting his schedule. General Wingate marched fast and struck hard. The enemy, never knowing where he was going to strike next, was completely thrown off balance. Indeed, this British general's behind-the-lines operations in Burma brought to mind the brilliant cavalry manoeuvres of Nathan Bedford Forrest in our own Civil War.
