'''罗克渡口战役'''('''Battle of Rorke's Drift'''),又称为'''罗克渡口防御战'''('''Defence of Rorke's Drift'''),是[[祖鲁战争]]当中的一场战役。属于[[皇家工程兵团]]的[[约翰·查德]]中尉在英军兵败[[伊散德尔瓦纳战役|伊散德尔瓦纳]]之后,带领罗克渡口传教站守军,成功击退进攻的祖鲁军团。
=== 防御淮备 ===

作出决定后,查德和布罗姆黑德命令士兵作好防御淮备。400名士兵用玉米袋迅速兴建了一个防御阵地。<ref>Knight, Ian, ''Rorke's Drift 1879, "Pinned Like Rats in a Hole"''; Osprey Campaign Series #41, Osprey Publishing 1996,ISBN 1-85532-506-3, p. 28, "With 400 men to build them..."</ref>防御阵地包围了一座仓库、一座医院和一座石制土著栅栏。上述建筑的外墙上面凿有射击孔,外门后面设有家私堆砌而成的障碍。
祖鲁军队在早上8点作用离开营地,开始急行军,在下午4点30分抵达距离出发点30公里的渡口。祖军在行军后,用了将近十一个半小时猛攻渡口守军。

祖鲁士兵多数使用经过改良的轻型短矛(Iklwa)和牛皮制盾牌。<ref>[http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=bfcfOrihAvAC&pg=PA462&dq=zulu+rifles&client=firefox-a&cd=8#v=onepage&q=zulu%20rifles&f=false ''World History of Warfare'', By Christon I.

== 战斗经过 ==
 
[[File:Rorke's.Drift.Post.jpg|300px|right|thumb|罗克渡口地图,出自“皇家工程兵团历史”。<ref>{{Citation |last=Porter|first=Whitworth|year=1889|contribution=Drawing, Rorke's Drift Post|title=History of the Corps of Royal Engineers|volume=II|publisher=Longmans, Green, and Co|publication-date=1889|publication-place=London|page=31|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=FqdBAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA31|accessdate=2008-08-14}}</ref>]]
 
4点20分,战斗开始。在奥斯卡堡执行警戒任务的土著骑兵队首先与祖鲁前锋交战。<ref>Knight, Ian, ''Rorke's Drift 1879, "Pinned Like Rats in a Hole"''; Osprey Campaign Series #41, Osprey Publishing 1996, ISBN 1-85532-506-3. p.36, and on p.88 this is described by Knight as "the first shots of the battle".</ref>骑兵队经过之前在伊散德尔瓦纳的战斗后,很快就因为体力不足、弹药缺乏,撤往海尔普默卡尔。骑兵队的指挥官亨德森将敌军来袭的消息告诉查德,并且对他说“他的队伍不听命令,逃往海尔普默卡尔”。<ref>Morris, Donald R. ''The Washing of the Spears'', Da Capo Press, 1998, p. 401.</ref>
=== 退守医院 ===

查德意识到士兵不能在祖鲁军队的持续进攻之下守住北墙,在下午6点命令士兵退到玉米袋筑起的防御阵地,过程中,守军放弃了医院当中的前两个房间。医院开始变成难以防守的据点。守军如果透过射击孔开枪,步枪很有可能被祖鲁士兵夺去。但如果守军对射击孔置之不理,祖鲁士兵又会用自己的枪械,透过射击孔向守军开枪。防守医院的士兵有:威廉·威尔逊·阿伦下士(William Wilson Allen),二等兵科尔(Cole)、邓巴(Dunbar)、希契(Hitch)和霍里根(Horrigan)、约翰·威廉斯(John Williams)、约瑟夫·威廉斯(Joseph Williams)、阿尔弗雷德·亨利·胡克(Alfred Henry Hook)、罗伯特·琼斯(Robert Jones)和威廉·琼斯(William Jones)。

有11名战役参与者获颁维多利亚十字勋章,当中有7个人属于第2/第24步兵团,至今仍然是在单一行动中获奖最多的团。不过,参与者获得最多维多利亚十字勋章的单一行动并非这场战役,而是[[印军哗变]]中的[[第二次勒克瑙解围行动]](Second Relief of Lucknow)。<ref>{{London Gazette|issue=24717|startpage=3177|endpage=3178|date=2 May 1879|accessdate=2007-11-28}}</ref>
