Abstract

It is little known that Hungarian soldiers, including Hussars, took part in Napoleon’s 1812 campaign against Russia. Moreover, the four, and later five Hussar regiments assigned to the so-called Imperial-Royal Auxiliary Corps clearly played an important role in the activities of this Corps. During the campaign, the Hussars were mainly responsible for the tasks of reconnaissance and securing the march, which was vital as the Auxiliary Corps was operating deep in hostile and unknown territory. The Hussars, of course, also distinguished themselves in small and large engagements. As an indication of their prominent role, in October 1812 a fifth Hussar regiment was sent to the theatre of war to reinforce the Hussars. This shifted the balance of the Auxiliary Corps’ cavalry even further in favour of the Hussars. Their special importance was also reflected in the new order of battle which was then introduced. This meant that Hussars were assigned to more major military formations than before, a clear indication of their indispensability and the importance of their deployment.

拿破仑对俄战役中的匈牙利轻骑兵
鲜为人知的是,包括轻骑兵在内的匈牙利士兵参加了拿破仑 1812 年对俄作战。此外,分配到所谓的帝国皇家辅助军团的四个轻骑兵团,以及后来的五个轻骑兵团,显然在该军团的活动中发挥了重要作用。在这场战役中,轻骑兵主要负责侦察和保障行军安全的任务,这一点至关重要,因为辅助军团是在充满敌意和未知的领土上深入作战。当然,轻骑兵也在大大小小的战斗中表现出色。1812 年 10 月,第五轻骑兵团被派往战场增援轻骑兵团,这表明了轻骑兵团的突出作用。这使得辅助军团骑兵的平衡进一步向轻骑兵倾斜。轻骑兵的特殊重要性也反映在了新的战斗序列中。这意味着轻骑兵被分配到比以前更多的主要军事编队中,这清楚地表明了他们的不可或缺性和部署的重要性。
