Before two oclock the regiment , which had already lost over two hundred men , was moved forward into the trampled oat - field , in that space between semyonovskoye and the battery redoubt , on which thousands of men were killed that day , and on which , about two oclock , there was directed the concentrated fire of several hundreds of the enemys cannons 一点多钟时,在损失二百多人的情况下,这个团才向前移到谢苗诺夫斯科耶村和土岗炮垒之间的一片踩平了的燕麦地里,那一天土岗炮垒里伤亡了好几千人,下午一点多钟,敌人的几百门大炮集中火力对它猛轰。
The battle of borodino was not fought on a carefully picked and fortified position , with forces only slightly weaker on the russian side . after the loss of the shevardino redoubt , the russians fought on an open , almost unfortified position , with forces half the strength of the french , that is , in conditions in which it was not merely senseless to fight for ten hours and gain a drawn battle , but incredibly difficult to keep the army for three hours together from absolute rout and flight 波罗底诺战役并不是在一个选定的,设了防的阵地上进行的,也不是俄军的兵力仅仅稍弱于敌军,实际上俄国人由于失掉舍瓦尔金诺多面堡,不得不在一个开阔的,几乎没有防御工事的地带,兵力比法军少一半的情况下迎接波罗底诺战役,也就是说,在这样的条件下,不仅战斗十小时和打一场不分输赢的战役不可思议,就是坚持三小时而不使军队完全崩溃和逃遁也是不可思议的。
It was not simply impossible from below , where he was standing , and from the redoubt above , where several of his generals were standing , to make out what was passing at the flches ; but on the flches themselves , occupied now together , now alternately by french and russians , living , dead , and wounded , the frightened and frantic soldiers had no idea what they were doing 不论从土岗下面他所站的地方,还是从土岗上面他的将军们现在所站的地方,甚至从那些凸角堡上那儿有俄国兵,有法国兵,他们时而同时出现,时而轮流出现,其中有死的伤的活的受惊的发狂的,都无法看清楚战场上发生的事。
Had napoleon not reached the kolotcha on the evening of the 24th , and had he not ordered the redoubt to be attacked at once that evening , had he begun the attack next morning , no one could have doubted that the shevardino redoubt was the left flank of the russian position ; and the battle would have been fought as we expected 假如拿破仑不在二十四日傍晚到达科洛恰河假如他当晚没有立刻下令攻打多面堡,而是在第二天早晨开始攻打的话,那么,就不会有人怀疑舍瓦尔金诺多面堡是我们的左翼了而战斗也会像我们所预料的那样进行了。在那种情况下,我们大概会像我们所预料的那样进行了。
A redoubt (historically redout) is a fort or fort system usually consisting of an enclosed defensive emplacement outside a larger fort, usually relying on earthworks, though others are constructed of stone or brick. It is meant to protect soldiers outside the main defensive line and can be a permanent structure or a hastily-constructed temporary fortification.
