老兵不怕死,只怕被遺忘 前線兵、翻譯官、諜報隊、特務連、通訊營、後勤隊…… 十五個老戰士,十五個不同身分背景,十五個不同的歷史觀點。 一九四二至四五年間,四十萬中國遠征軍遠赴雲南和緬甸,奮力抵禦日軍,守護戰時的生命線,他們的反攻戰為抗戰勝利立下攸關重要的戰績,卻鮮有史書為此着墨。 一位飛虎隊成員、一位青年軍、十三位曾參與滇緬戰爭的老戰士,在耄耋之年親述參軍經歷,回顧那些在邊域異國奉獻的青春、那些在戰場揮灑的生命力,以及那些從未被紀綠的歷史細節。 本書收錄共十五位曾參與抗日戰役的老戰士訪談,追訪他們從軍、參戰、退役的整段人生經歷,紀錄這班平均年齡九十歲以上的老戰士,那些不為人知卻貴重無比的回憶、經驗與歷史。 個人回憶與口述,也許不能成為一本嚴格的歷史書,但能讓你看到那些嚴格歷史書無法呈現的一面:戰亂時期的生活、訓練與行軍的辛酸、面對敵人槍口的恐懼與決心、前線人員對「戰爭」到底抱持著甚麼心情等等。十五個老戰士來自不同階層、不同背景,在不同地區以不同兵種服役,見識了這場戰爭的不同面貌,退役後也遭到了不同命運,也因此對戰爭、對歷史、產生了不同的觀點。 這本書不但要讓讀者了解「老戰士」的寶貴經驗,也要讓讀者體會到,「歷史」從來不是一個單向、平面的敘述,而是更複雜、更有人性的多面體。 本書特點 收錄十五位老戰士口述歷史,這十五個快百歲的老人的回憶,通通都是相當珍貴的史料與紀錄。 每位老戰士身份、背景、兵種、服役地區和際遇都不同,對同一場戰爭的描述和觀點也不盡相同,讓讀者得以看見歷史的多面向。 老戰士在抗日戰爭後,各走上不同的道路,有留在國民黨軍隊的、有投入共產黨軍的、有只想逃離戰爭兩邊也不參的、有英勇抗日後文革時遭遇批鬥的……讓讀者透過不同觀點重新審視歷史。 訪談中仔細地描述了不同戰士在受訓、行軍時的細戰,例如行軍乾糧的味道與品種、如何透過鞋印分辨敵我、如何與村民合作打探消息、如何在叢林中隱藏自己和察覺敵人等等,即使對歷史不感興趣,相信你也會對這些無法在歷史書中找到的小細節看得津津有味。 透過這本書,希望能鼓勵讀者多關心身邊的老人家──他們的人生經歷也許豐富得你無法想像,而且都彌足珍貴、值得紀錄。
