47、,他们所向披靡,便认为自己战 冰雪卫士 奈拉B史密斯 18,法国皇帝拿破仑波拿巴率大军入侵俄罗斯。他准备好俄罗斯人民会为保卫祖国而奋勇抵抗。他准备好在俄罗斯广袤国土上要经过长途跋涉才能进军首都莫斯科。但他没有料到在莫斯科他会遭 遇劲敌俄罗斯阴冷凄苦寒冬。1941年,纳粹德国元首阿道夫希特勒进攻当初被称作苏联俄罗斯。希特勒军事实力堪称无敌。他战争机器扫除了欧洲绝大部分地域抵抗。希特勒希望速战速决,不过,就像在他之前拿破仑 一样,他得到是痛苦教训。仍是俄罗斯冬天助了苏维埃士兵一臂之力。拿破仑发起战役 18春,拿破仑在俄国边境屯兵60万。这些士兵受过良好训练,作战力强,装备精良。这支军队被称为大军。
48、拿破仑对马到成功充满自信,预言要在5个星期内攻下俄国。很快,拿破仓大军渡过涅曼河进入俄国。拿破仑期盼着速决速胜迟迟没有发生。令他吃惊是,俄国人并不奋起抵抗。相反他们一路东撒,沿途焚毁庄稼和民居。大军紧追不舍,但它长驱直入很快因为粮草运输迟缓而停顿下来。到了8月,法俄两军在斯摩棱斯克交战,这一战役中,双方各有上万人阵亡。可是俄国人仍能在自己国土上继续后撤。拿破仑未能取得决定性胜利。此刻他面临着一个主要抉择。是继续追击俄国军队,还足把军队驻扎在斯摩棱斯克,在那儿度过将到冬天?拿破仑孤注一掷,决定向远在448公里之外莫斯科进发。1 89月7日,法俄两军在莫斯科以西112公里外鲍罗季诺鏖战,夜幕降暂时
49、,3万名法国士兵以及4万4千名俄国士兵或伤或亡,倒在了战场上。第27页 俄国军队再次撤往安全之处。拿破仑顺利进入莫斯科,然而,对该市占领成为毫无意义胜利。俄国人弃城而走。法国人进城很快,一场熊熊大火烧毁丁整个城市三分之二。拿破仑向亚历山大一世提出停战,但沙皇深知他能够等候时机:“且让俄罗斯严冬为我们战斗吧。”拿破仑很快意识到,他无法在冬天向远在莫斯科军队供给粮草、提供御寒衣物和宿营之地。1810月,他命令大军撤出莫斯科。法军撤离成为一场噩梦。俄国人出没于田野与森林,采取打了就跑战术,向法国人发起攻击。刚出莫斯科城,气温就降到摄氏零下4度。11月3目降了初雪。困乏马匹倒地而死。大炮陷入雪中。装备
50、只好被用作燃料焚烧。士兵们染病冻死。法国士兵拖着脚步行进,一路上留下无数死尸。正当俄罗斯军队集聚兵力之时,法国人却不得不逃离俄国,以防止注定失败。在别列兹那河,俄国人焚烧了涨水河道上桥粱,差点将后撤法军团于河边。侥幸是,拿破仑竟然突击造起两座桥。成千上万法国士兵得以逃脱,但却损失了5万人。渡过别列兹拿河,溃不成军幸存者一瘸一拐地向维尔纽行进。拿破仑发兵60万进入俄国,只有不到10万士兵返回。元气大伤法国军队在欧洲继续西撤。很快,英国、奥地利、俄国以及普鲁士组成强大联盟,攻击这些散兵游勇。183月,巴黎被攻占。拿破仑退位去过流放生活,他缔造帝国随之灭亡。第28页希特勒入侵 到1941年初,纳粹德
