家园 【整理】美国老兵的长津故事(4)极寒长津

[FLASH]http://www.youtube.com/v/fQI0CvmnUPU[/FLASH]

I was the meteorological officer and that was the additional duty in which I had to take the air temperature every 4 hours, and the wind speed. Uhh.., and so, I am probably the only one that was at reservoir that actually knows what the temperatures were. The regular temperature was about 20 below zero at noon and then it would go down at night to 40 below. So by mid night, it was usually 40 below zero.

And one night, when we were just leaving out of Koto-ri to go back to, to try to make the sea coast, uhh.. the temperature went down to 60 below zero and I had a 60-knot wind. That made an overall, windshield(感谢胡亦庄的提醒,这里该是wind chill) factor, of 125 below. And it’s very hard to stay alive at temperatures like that. And we had a lot of people who didn’t make it because of the cold.
