The bombing went on,
battering oil facilities,
国防工厂、道路和铁路
defense factories,
roads and railways
以及更多城市
and more cities.

仅在3月盟军战机就把16386♥4♥吨♥炸♥弹♥

几乎相当于他们之前3年

投弹量的总和
in the preceding
three years combined.
到接下来一个的中旬
By the middle of the next month,
空军首长们将下令停止轰炸
the air chiefs
would call a halt.

我想那是1945年2月22日
I believe
it was February 22 of 1945.
那时我住在一座中世纪城♥堡♥里
At that point I was housed
in a medieval castle
就在..鲁尔河畔
that was right there
on the, uh, Ruhr River
昆丁.亚内森明尼苏达州卢温
离鲁尔河大约2英里半
about two and a half miles
back from the Ruhr River.
我被安置在城♥堡♥的大厅里
I was set up in the great hall
of the castle
带着地图电♥话♥线都接进来了
with my maps and telephone lines
coming in.
战斗机飞行员来自卢温的昆丁.亚内森
Fighter pilot
Quentin Aanenson of Luverne
已经不再执行飞行任务
was no longer flying missions.
他被擢升为上尉他断定自己
He'd been promoted to captain
and was now coordinating
会在相当安全的地面上
air strikes from what he assumed
would be
协调空袭行动
the relative safety
of the ground.
我在呼叫我方战斗机
I was calling in
my fighter planes,
有非常多的呼叫请求进来
and there was just a tremendous
amount of requests coming in
突然间一枚88或105毫米炮弹
for doing this, when suddenly,
an 88 or a 105 artillery shell
穿过城♥堡♥墙壁上的一个缺口
came through an opening
in the wall of the castle
在大约30英尺外爆♥炸♥..差不多就这么远
and exploded about 30 feet
from me... somewhere like that.
我受到部分遮挡
I was partially shielded
from the explosion
因为那里有个柱子..一根石柱
because there was a column...
a stone column... there,
但爆♥炸♥削掉了离我约15英尺远
but the explosion took the top of the
head off an enlisted man who was
一个军人的天灵盖
about 15 feet from me and,
喷出..
and, it threw...
血、组织、脑浆..各种东西
blood, tissue, brains,
everything
我身上、地图上全是
all over me, my maps.
我记得当时造成了很大破坏
And I remember at the time
it created a lot of havoc,
但我调度的战机正在俯冲过程中
but I had fighter planes
that were in the process
所以我不得不继续在那工作
of their dive,
so I had to keep working there.
他们抬走了死掉的那个人
They carried the man
who had been killed out
还有几个受伤的人
and a couple
that had been wounded.
然后当我还在工作
And then while I
was still working
呼叫战机对目标采取行动时
calling in the fighter planes
on targets,
他们过来把我头发上、飞行皮夹克
they came over and cleaned
the brain tissue out of my hair
还有地图上的大脑组织擦干净
and off my leather flight jacket
and... and off my maps,
我们就照常工作
and we just continued on.
阿♥拉♥巴马州莫比尔
空军的B-29机群正飞往东京
Airborne,
the B-29s head for Tokyo.
这些巨大的轰炸机设计航程超5千英里
The giant bombers, equipped
to range over 5,000 miles,
现在疾飞1500英里从塞班岛
now swiftly cover the
1,500 miles from Saipan
直奔他们的目标
to their objective,
展开对日本的全面空战
to open the full-fledged air war
against Japan.
盟军计划者希望夷平德国城市的
Allied planners
hoped the kind of bombing
那种狂轰滥炸
that had leveled German cities
将会摧毁日本人的抵抗意志
would destroy the Japanese will
to resist
使原本似乎不可避免的入侵血战
and make unnecessary
the bloody invasion
变得没有必要
that otherwise seemed
inevitable.
美军B-29轰炸机现在能从塞班和天宁岛
American B-29s could now reach
the enemy's homeland
直达敌人的国土
from Saipan and Tinian,
但在大致介于两岛到日本本土的中途
but roughly halfway
between them and Japan itself
坐落着一个小火山岛..硫磺岛
lay a tiny volcanic island...
Iwo Jima.
那是一个非人间的所在..
It was an otherworldly place...
仅8平方英里的不毛之地满是岩石和火山灰
barely eight square barren miles
of rock and ash,
散发着刺鼻硫磺气味没有安全饮水
reeking of sulfur,
without safe drinking water.
但岛上有一条飞机跑道日本战斗机
But it had an airstrip from
which Japanese fighters
从这里升空在美军轰炸机
rose to harass American bombers
往返于大♥陆♥目标时袭扰它们
as they flew to and from
their mainland targets.
美军指挥官们要拿下硫磺岛
American commanders wanted
the island taken.
这样就可以把该岛变成受损轰炸机的避难所
Then they could make it a haven
for their crippled bombers.
接连72天里
For 72 straight days,
美军轰炸机反复打击硫磺岛
American bombers pounded
Iwo Jima
及其守军投下约6千吨♥高爆♥炸♥弹
and its defenders with some
6,000 tons of high explosives.
接着海军又不间断的炮击了3天
Three more days followed of
ceaseless shelling by the Navy.
1945年2月19日拂晓
In the early morning
of February 19, 1945,
海军陆战队开始登岛
the Marines started
toward the island.
其中多数是先前登过岛的老兵..
Most were veterans
of earlier landings...
塞班岛、天宁岛、贝里琉岛
Saipan, Tinian, Peleliu.
最初的三拨人几乎未遇抵抗
The first three waves
met little resistance.
有些人开始想这次入侵行动将不同以往
Some began to think this
invasion would be different,
这次的战前持续轰炸
that for once the pre-invasion
bombardment
真的消灭了岛上的守军
really had knocked out
