1812165438+10. In October, the arrogant French emperor Napoleon led hundreds of thousands of troops to Moscow, and the weak Russian marshal Kutuzov led the army far away from the city. Napoleon and his soldiers stood proudly at the head of the city, intoxicated with the joy of victory. But at this moment, where is General Han? Sneak out a shiny sword.

165438+1October 6, a cold wave from the northern mainland suddenly came to Moscow, and the cold wind roared, rolling up large snowflakes and overwhelming the French army. Overnight, the rolling waters of the Oka and Volga rivers disappeared, and the riverbeds were covered with white ice and snow. The hot soup in the battlefield kitchen turned into ice in two minutes. The French army, which had never experienced severe cold training, suddenly lost its laughter, curled up in the snow and trembled in horror.

The cold wind is raging, the snow is boundless, the weather is getting colder every day, and the thin clothes freeze the heads, hands and feet of the soldiers. A few days later, the stiff bodies of the French army were lying everywhere in the snow, and hundreds of thousands of arrogant French troops were gradually left with only 20,000 to 30,000 people still moaning there. Napoleon, who has always been brave and good at fighting, really took it? General Han? There was no choice but to stagger back to Paris wrapped in an old blanket.

Time has passed 129 years, and the tragedy of history miraculously came to Moscow? Repeat? After some chasing.

194 1 year 1 1 month, the Soviet-German war entered a critical moment, and Hitler's one or two million troops besieged Moscow under the guidance of rumbling tanks.

At this time, in the face of the cold wind and blizzard, one by one was bitten and shivered.

Thousands of officers and men contracted typhoid fever and were buried deep in the snow in despair and pain. The temperature is still dropping until it is more than 50 degrees below zero! In the noisy place in the past, nothing can be heard at this time. Within a few days,100000 Germans died in the ice and snow. At this time, the Soviet Red Army braved the cold to launch a general attack, which gave the Germans a fatal blow.

In the history of war, countless facts tell us that meteorology and geography have a vital influence on the success or failure of military operations. Weather is not the only factor that determines the victory of the war, but it plays an important role. Ignoring it or not paying attention to it will inevitably pay a heavy price.
