23、席卷全球大约五年了。但是在英格兰的南部海岸正发生着不寻常的事情:由英国、加拿大和美国士兵组成的盟军正在大量聚集。这标志着一场计划了数月,甚至可能是数年的绝密行动终于进入了最后阶段。这次作战行动的代号为“霸王行动”,它是历史上规模最大的海、陆、空三方力量集结的行动,目的是解放德国占领的欧洲西北部地区。在确保天气、月亮和潮水三者达到最佳结合点后,“霸王行动”最终定在了6月6日。盟军最高指挥官艾森豪威尔将军向部队发出命令:“你们的任务将不会轻松。敌人训练有素、武器精良,而且久经沙场但今年是1944年时局已经发生转变!全世界自由的人们正在一起向胜利前进!我对你们的勇气、责任心和作战能力十分有信心。我们
24、必须取得彻底的胜利!”这些话在他们的耳畔回响,盟军士兵为后来著名的诺曼底登陆日做好了准备。6月6日清晨,数千名士兵在法国北部空降在敌人后方。与此同时,更有数千名士兵在战斗机的保护下,穿越英吉利海峡,在诺曼底登陆。他们的目标很明确:沿着法国大约80公里的海岸线到达诺曼底海滩。但即使是在战争最激烈的时候,也很少有人能为他们在那里所经历的暴力和恐怖做好准备。奥马哈海滩的情况最不容乐观。敌人藏身于各个地方,准备在盟军登陆前就开始进攻。船被击翻,一些人落水而亡,而那些成功登陆的人面对的则是机关枪的猛烈扫射。上午10点左右已有上百人在水中或在海滩上的坦克之间阵亡。一名士兵事后回忆他是如何在轰炸中侥幸脱险的
25、:“我是第一个冲出来的人,第七个冲出来的士兵是第二个穿过海滩没有被击中的,我俩之间的士兵全被击中了,其中有两人死亡,三人受伤。真的是要有天大的幸运才能躲过这一劫。”尽管伤亡惨重,诺曼底登陆还是取得了成功,并且被人们普遍视为第二次世界大战结束的开端。1944年8月底,盟军抵达塞纳河,解放了巴黎,从法国西北部赶走了德国人。之后盟军准备进攻德国,而苏联军队也正从德国东部攻入,两军相遇。70年后,曾在诺曼底登陆中奋战的将士聚集在英吉利海峡两岸,人们共同参加纪念仪式。在庄重感人的仪式上,一位当时参战的老兵向众人朗诵了劳伦斯比尼恩谨献给阵亡将士一诗中的一段:我们会日渐衰老,但他们永远不会老去:他们永远不为年龄所难,永远不为岁月所累。每当夕阳西下,每当清晨来临,我们都会想起他们。诺曼底登陆的幸存者每年都会相聚并纪念他们在登陆那天失去的战友和朋友。虽然每年相聚的人越来越少,但他们的英勇壮举将会让我们永远铭记他们以及那些在法国北部海滩上阵亡的士兵。
