美英联军对伊拉克开战以来,由于伊军灵活运用了“化整为零、寓兵于民、短促出击、分兵袭扰”的战法,美英联军在地面战特别是城市地区的巷战中损失惨重。有军事专家撰文预言,美军为避免在城市巷战中遭受重大伤亡,很可能在下一步的行动中丢掉“干净战争”的口号,使出“撒手锏”来对付伊军愈加强烈的抵抗。 Since the U.S.-British coalition forces started the war on Iraq, the U.S.-British coalition forces suffered heavy losses in road fighting in the ground warfare, especially in the urban areas, as the Iraqi military flexibly applied the tactics of “turning the whole army into zero, integrating the troops into the army, shortening the attacks and disarming the troops.” Some military experts have written that the U.S. military is likely to lose the slogan of “clean war” in the next step and “wipe out its hand” in response to the increasingly strong resistance of the Iraqi army in order to avoid major casualties in the city’s street fighting.
