Let's take a look at these historic monuments and relive the Battle of Borodino!
On September 7, 1812, in Borodino, about 120 kilometers west of Moscow, the two sides of the war were the French army led by the French military scientist Napoleon and the Russian army led by the famous Russian military man Kutuzov.
On June 12, 1812, Napoleon led more than 500,000 troops to an undeclared war against Russia, when the Russian army was only 180,000 people, they retreated without a fight, allowing the French army to drive straight in, and a large area of Russia was occupied by the French army.
On 8 August, the Russian Emperor appointed Kutuzov as commander-in-chief of the fight against the French. After Kutuzov's arrival, instead of fighting the enemy to the death, he withdrew his army to the vicinity of Borodino, made careful arrangements, and chose this place as the place for the decisive battle.
At dawn on September 7, the cannons rumbled and the Battle of Borodino began. The French army had more than 130,000 troops and the Russian army of about 120,000 people, and their Battle of Borodino was unprecedentedly fierce.
Kutuzov organized his army into four groups: right wing, center, left wing and reserve, with the central and right wing army groups as the main force, and the reserve team behind the right wing. In this way, it was difficult for Napoleon to break through from both wings.
Napoleon, also aware of this, resorted to a frontal offensive in the hope of breaking through the defensive line at Bagration fortress and inserting itself into the Russian rear, thus opening the gateway to Moscow.
From about 6 a.m. to 11 a.m., the French launched seven attacks, all of which were repulsed by the Russians.
At about 12:00, the French began their eighth attack on the Fortress of Bagrang. Napoleon concentrated 45,000 men and 400 artillery pieces against 18,000 men and 360 artillery pieces on the 1.5 km defensive section of the Russian army.
The two sides engaged each other for a short time, the battle was white-hot, and the corpses around and around the fort were strewn around the field, and the French army paid a huge casualty to occupy the fortress, and then launched a new attack.
At the critical moment, Tukutsov decisively sent two troops back to the left and right flanks of the French army to carry out a surprise attack, forcing the French to postpone the impact, and Kutuzov used this time to redeploy his forces and strengthen the center and left flank of the Russian army.
The battle continued until 18:00, and the Russians still held their positions. Napoleon had to abandon the occupied Russian fortifications and withdraw his troops to their places.
The French suffered more than 50,000 casualties and the Russians suffered more than 44,000 casualties. History has called this war the "Battle of Borodino."
The Battle of Borodino marked the beginning of the downfall of Napoleon's "great army". This is a vicious battle in the history of human warfare.
Napoleon wrote afterwards: "In the battles of my life, the most frightening thing for me was the Battle of Borodino under Moscow. ”
It was the battle to defeat the invincible Napoleon, the glory of the Russians, and it was no wonder that they would build 45 monuments for a battle that did not last long.
