这书里面后坡的说明如下
Where the terrain was appropriate, the classic British defensive position was in line on a reverse slope - behind the crest of a hill up which the French had to attack - and thus concealed. A British skirmish line would be thrown forward to harass the French as they advanced and then fall back as the French approached the crest. Due to their inability to see the main British line, the French would be unsure of when to deploy - if deployment were intended - and thus were still in column when the British line advanced to the crest. The latter would fire at close range and cut down the head of the French column, causing even more disorder if the French attempted to deploy under fire; then, seeing them shaken, the British would cheer and charge with the bayonet, tumbling the French back down the slope. The British would then halt and retire to their original position to await any renewed assault.
应该可以解释风哥的问题:
背坡战术那张图很奇怪,即然英军藏于坡后,法军不知英军何时会出现,那么就应该先展开为横队再爬坡。而且双方的散兵线都不见了,如果有散兵线的话,可以提前“预警”,背后的线列步兵就能及时展开成横队了。 |
