话说2015年 波兰人民沿途热情欢迎美军过境

2015年3月底，参加“大西洋决心”演习的美军第二骑兵团大约550名军人与120辆“斯特

瑞克”战斗车辆从爱沙尼亚出发，长途跋涉1770公里，穿越爱沙尼亚、拉脱维亚、立陶宛、

波兰、捷克、德国六个欧洲国家，返回位于德国菲尔塞克军营的基地。车队在沿途各国受到

民众的热情欢迎。

这次行动被昵称为“龙骑兵旅行”（Dragoon Ride），每天晚上在一个新的城镇安营驻扎，

所有部队都露营住宿。美国陆军第12战斗航空旅全程陪同，并提供空中侦察。

 见到你们格外亲，盼望美军泪花流

  你  们  晚  来  了  七  十  年

按照计划，美军车队在3月29日至4月1日期间穿越捷克境内，达到其

目的地德国菲尔塞克。捷克政府已经对美军车队过境行为进行了授权。

3月29日，美军车队从波兰进入捷克边境小城纳霍德（Nachod），

同样受到当地居民的热情欢迎。当地人口只有2.1万，而上街欢迎美军

的居民多达两千多人，占全城人口的十分之一。镇民向美军送去了

上千瓶当地自产的啤酒。路边树起的一面牌子上写着 “你们晚来了七十年”

（1945年纳霍德由苏军解放），还有一面标语横幅上写着“我们团结

在一起，俄国兵再也不能占领我们（捷克）了！谢谢你们！”

Poland borders Ukraine and Russia, and the conflict in eastern Ukraine has caused anxiety here. Poland says it has trust in Nato's collective security guarantees but it also harbours bad memories of defence alliances with Britain and France that failed when Nazi Germany invaded in 1939.

The mission plans stops in local communities in each country over the 10-day period.

The convoy of US troops driving through eastern Europe was given a warm welcome as it entered the Czech Republic.

In a campaign on Facebook and pro-Russia media, activists had condemned the convoy, pledging to stop it. But opponents were clearly outnumbered by those who came to welcome the troops.
