中文翻译：

侦察巡逻已经展开了。

战斗的第一步并不是漫无目的地向敌军倾泻子弹，而是收集对方的信息。比如敌人如何确定我们的位置、他是通过什么方法来定位，敌军都有什么样的武器装备，敌军的士气如何，是元气满满还是萎蘼不振，等等。

战争和拳击比赛是一样一样的：在挥拳之前，你必须先观察对手，调匀呼吸。

原文：

Reconnaissance patrols have begun. The first step in combat is not to launch aimlessly towards the enemy. First you have to gather information. How is the enemy positioned? What are his ways of doing it? What kind of weaponry does he have? Does he seem motivated or demoralized? And so on.

War is like a boxing match: before striking, you have to look and breathe.
