The newspaper "Pacific Star" published an article by A. Chernyavsky "The Defeat: from Königsberg to Mudanjiang". It tells about combat way veteran of the 346th rifle regiment Khantsevich Vladimir Iosifovich Here are excerpts from the article:
May 2, 1945 our 346 Red Banner Order of Alexander Nevsky rifle regiment(commander - Lieutenant Colonel Kiselev Andrey Vasilievich), which is part of the 63rd Vitebsk Rifle Division of the Red Banner Orders of Suvorov and Kutuzov, plunged into the echelon at Norkiten station and moved in an unknown direction.
On June 6, the echelon arrived at the Manzovka station (Primorsky Territory) and, after unloading, moved to the area of deployment - in the field, where the arrangement of the summer tent camp began. Replenishment soon arrived. These were soldiers of the spring conscription, born in 1927, who completed a 2-month course for a young soldier in training parts. All of them were from the North Kazakhstan region. The daily, painstaking study began. On July 15, the regiment left the camp and advanced to the Grodekovo area. The movement took place at night, during the day they rested, observing all camouflage measures. A few nights later, they arrived in the area of the upcoming battles, taking up positions in the area of \u200b\u200bthe Grusha height, located on the opposite side of the border, which ran along the gorge of the stream. After the rains, it turned into a stormy river. Equipped trenches, dug dugouts.
Our 63rd division was to break through the defenses on one of the 17 fortified areas that the Japanese had built near our borders. Each fortified area is 50-100 km along the front and up to 50 km deep into the territory, saturated with various defense structures.
The Grusha height was the center of one of the most powerful fortified areas; pillboxes (long-term firing points) were built on it, capable of withstanding shelling with large-caliber guns. The pillboxes were connected to neighboring heights by underground passages. At the top of the height, an observation post was equipped, which made it possible to survey far inland our territory. A road was laid to the height, connecting with the central regions of Manchuria.
In the first days of August, a large group officers from the division headquarters, headed by the division commander, Major General B.B. Gorodovikov. He was in a field uniform with the epaulettes of a foreman. After inspecting the border, the regiment commander was ordered, together with the sapper battalion of the division, to connect our dirt road with the Japanese one, which runs near the Grusha height.
The next day, sappers arrived, two T-34 tanks came, with their help they broke through the track that connected the two sections into one road. The tanks caused a stir on the Japanese side. The head of the Japanese frontier outpost appeared and demanded a meeting with the senior commander. After the "negotiations" work continued. Our company was instructed to ensure the safety of the work of sappers. The order was brief: "Do not use weapons." By the end of the day, the sappers had done their job, made part of the timber harvested on the Japanese side, and our dirt road was connected to the Japanese one. In the future, this road played a big role in the offensive operation of the 5th Army.
The beginning of the war was drawing near. On the basis of our battalion, a forward detachment was created, reinforced by a platoon of sappers by a group of signalmen with a radio station. The detachment was faced with the task of moving forward at the maximum pace without getting involved in protracted battles. The company commander received a card.
On August 8, dinner was held two hours earlier than usual. After dinner, the formation of the battalion took place, at which it was reported that the Soviet government had declared war on Japan. Everyone was given cartridges, grenades, dressing bags, dry rations. Clouds appeared in the sky, drizzling rain. At this time, the border guards came. These were our guides. After some time, a group of soldiers with border guards left in the direction of the Japanese frontier post. Soon a messenger from this group appeared and informed the battalion commander that it was possible to move - the personnel of the Japanese outpost had been destroyed. Under pouring rain, with continuous flashes of lightning discharges, our forward detachment crossed the border.
The offensive was launched without artillery preparation, using night and rainfall for a surprise attack. After crossing the border, it was necessary to quickly go to the area where object No. 1 was located (as it was indicated on the map). It was a large garrison with a large communication center, a combat supply point and the headquarters of an army group.
Our first battle was so swift that the enemy did not have time to put up organized resistance. By violating the defense and communications system, our detachment created favorable conditions for the main forces to operate during the breakthrough of the fortified area. Soon, from the area of \u200b\u200bthe Grusha height, a cannonade of strong battle began to be heard. It was the main forces of the division that entered the battle.
The detachment moved further, deeper. By evening, groups of Japanese began to catch up with us - these were border guards and soldiers from the defeated garrisons. They were aggressive, we had to use force, which caused losses on our side as well.
The night was approaching. We turned onto a country road, posted guards, and settled down to rest. Judging by the map, we left the border for 20-25 km. We went to object number 32 - it was railroad station. The main forces of the garrison before our arrival withdrew towards the city of Mudanjiang, leaving a small detachment that entered into battle with our scouts and was completely destroyed. We received an order to guard the railway bridge and wait for the regiment to approach. The next day, units of the regiment approached. Our detachment for "rest" was given a place at the end of the column, and the regiment moved forward, towards Mudanjiang. On the main line of advance of the 5th Army, the Japanese retreated farther and farther. On August 13, fighting began on the outskirts of the city of Mudanjiang. Here fierce battles broke out.
The neighbors of our army, units of the 1st Red Banner, advancing on the cities from the north, broke into the outskirts of the city, heavy street fighting ensued. Parts of the Fifth Army, advancing on the city from the east, lingered on the heights in front of the Mudanjiang River. The Japanese, firmly entrenched on the heights, blocked the advance of our artillery and tank units along the road. There were no other ways to get around. By this time, a critical situation had developed with our neighbors who had entered the city. Under the onslaught of superior enemy forces, they were forced to leave the city. The situation demanded to increase the onslaught in order to help the neighbor. In the morning, our advanced detachment was brought into battle with the task of dislodging the enemy from the dominant height and ensuring the passage of the pontoon part to the Mudanjiang River and establishing a crossing.
They went on the attack, but when they reached the wire obstacles that were not destroyed by artillery, there was confusion. At this time, a flurry of fire fell from the surviving bunker. The detachment lay down on an open slope among the numerous corpses of participants in yesterday's battle. There was a heavy cadaverous smell, which had a depressing effect on the soldiers. It was necessary to urgently take action. The squad leader decides to blow up the bunker with grenades. We sent two soldiers from our platoon. Enough time passed, there was no explosion. Then the company commander orders me: take two soldiers and go. Creeping up to the bunker, they soon stumbled upon the fighters sent earlier - they both died not far from it. They took grenades from them, crawled on. We managed to get relatively close, it was clear how a jet of deadly fire was spewing out of the embrasure. They threw grenades. The explosion covered the bunker, the machine gun stopped firing.
The squad got up and rushed forward. We quickly jumped into a trench that ran from the bunker deep into the defenses. At that moment, I was hurt. The soldiers rendered first aid, took off their tunic - the wound turned out to be large, covering the shoulder and forearm. Bandaged. They left me in the trench. Soon the shooting stopped. The height was taken and a column with pontoons and other equipment moved along the road to the river. The path to the city of Mudanjiang was opened. The next day, August 16, the city was taken. Later in the hospital, when bandaging, the doctor said that such a wound comes from an explosive dum-dum bullet.
For us who fought, the memory of the war is still alive. We will remember her until the end of our days. All 25 young guys from the platoon with whom I had to fight in Manchuria with Japan will never be forgotten. Five of them died in the fields of Manchuria, thirteen were wounded, seven remained in the ranks. All of them are still in my army memory today.
From the memoirs of a veteran of the regiment, foreman Aleksey Alexandrovich Khenov, provided by his granddaughter, Elena Koretko, Perm:
The formation of the 63rd Rifle Division began in the village of Navoloki. The 45th and 86th Rifle Brigades arrived here from the North-Western Front for formation. From two brigades and reserve regiments, the 63rd Rifle Division was formed, which became part of the 3rd Reserve Army. The 346th Rifle Regiment was formed in the village of Selivanovo under the command of the regiment commander, Major Nikolai Alexandrovich Ivanov, and the chief of staff, Senior Lieutenant Petr Ivanovich Voskresensky. Khenov was assigned to the communications company, commanded by Captain Gultyaev, his deputy for the combat unit was Senior Lieutenant Mocharny Nikolay Demyanovich. After the work on knocking together units was completed, on May 4, 1943, the regiment went to the Baldasovsky forest, where it began combat training personnel. On May 20-23, the regiment made a 100-km march and concentrated in the vicinity of the village of Trebushinki, Yukhnovsky district. The Germans burned the village back in 1941, only one house remained from it, which housed the headquarters of the regiment, all units were located in the forest. The regiment was again engaged in combat training, regimental, divisional exercises were conducted, everything went to the fact that soon into battle.
07/10/1943 the third reserve army received the name of the 21st army and 07/12/1943 marched to Western Front. The division received its baptism of fire in the Spas-Demensky direction.
In the area of the village of Semenovka (height 237.3), the Germans tried to push our troops back and take control of the highway. On August 20, 1943, under the onslaught of numerically superior enemy forces, our unit, which defended it, began to retreat. The division directly from the march entered the battle.
For three days there were fierce battles, the Germans brought fresh reserves into battle, let the "tigers" into battle, their aircraft dominated the air. Our artillery and infantry fought off 12 attacks a day, the village of Semyonovka changed hands several times. Convinced of the failure of their offensive, on 08/24/1943 the attacks stopped. The regiment suffered heavy losses, but the highway remained in our hands. We were replaced by newly arrived units, the regiment went to rest. After a short rest and putting the units in order, on 08/29/1943 the regiment launched an offensive in the Smolensk direction.
On the very first day of the offensive, the regiment occupied the villages of Bushnya, Khotnizhets, Mikhailovka and the Korobets station. 08/30/1943 at 19.00, together with other units, the regiment broke into the city of Yelnya and occupied it. German aviation bombed the city with massed air raids for two days, but it remained in our hands. In the battles for the city of Yelnya, the regiment's chief of staff, Captain Voskresensky Petr Ivanovich, was killed, the regiment commander, Major Ivanov Nikolai Aleksandrovich, and the regiment's deputy commander for combat, Lieutenant Colonel Konstantin Nikolayevich Zolotov, were seriously wounded. The regiment was temporarily commanded by the head of the intelligence department of the division, Major Aleksey Ivanovich Pirogov, the chief of staff arrived from the personnel department of the division of the guard, Major Litvin. For the capture of Yelnya, the division was thanked by the Supreme Command by Stalin.
09/5-6/1943 in the Smolensk direction, the regiment occupied the villages of Novo-Tishevo and Vys-Leonovo. In the area of the villages of Maloye Tishevo, Buda and Lyakhovo, the Germans tried to stop our offensive. There, the Germans had a pre-prepared defense: three lines of trenches and a natural obstacle - a deep log. Having pulled up reserves and artillery, on the afternoon of September 15, 1943, our offensive began again. In artillery preparation, especially greater density fire was given by Katyushas, our aviation was active. The German defense was broken through, the Germans suffered colossal losses, their trenches and log were littered with corpses.
Retreating, the Germans burned Smolensk villages. When we entered the settlements, ash and burning coals remained in place of houses. As a rule, the Germans retreated at night and their retreat was accompanied by conflagrations. Flames blazed ahead of us everywhere, and every soldier knew when the Germans were retreating. Passing through the Smolensk region, instead of villages and villages, we saw boards or, as they were called then, “pointers” with the inscription that there was such and such locality. Often we saw such "settlements" overgrown with weeds - a sure sign that the Germans burned them in 1941. A new command arrived in the regiment: regiment commander Major Lysenko Anton Karpovich, chief of staff Major Belov Grigory Vasilyevich, deputy regiment commander for combat unit Major Andrey Vasilyevich Kiselev. The regiment settled down to rest in a log 200 meters south of the village of Zverovichi and prepared for new battles.
We were in the second echelon, 09/23/1943 went on the march. Darkness, rain, knee-deep mud, at dawn reached the crossing of a small stream, but there were so many units, and the crossing was weak, that we stayed in the pouring rain until evening. In the evening we reached the village of Ptakhovo, march again, stopping at the village of Laptevo. 09/26/1943 crossed the river Sozh and march again. On 10/10/1943, the Germans took up defensive positions near the village of Novoye Selo. The regiment occupied the starting line in the area of the former village of Baevo. On the approaches to the position occupied by the enemy lay a marshy swamp. It was the boundary that separated Smolensk region from Belarus. The Smolensk region had already been almost completely liberated.
10/12/1943 the regiment launched an offensive. On a narrow section of the front, the Germans concentrated a large number of artillery, pulled up human reserves. There was a marshy swamp on the approaches to their positions, which did not favor our success. To the right of us, the offensive was led by the Polish division. The Germans fiercely resisted, their aircraft dominated the air and bombed our battle formations from sunrise to sunset. For six days we fought in this area. Finally, on 10/19/1943 we were taken out of the battle. Having made a short march, we took up the defensive in the area of the village of Nikitino.
Being on the defensive, we exhausted the enemy, day or night did not give him rest. Our snipers did well. Scouts with their daring night searches kept dragging German "tongues".
01/27/1944 the regiment was withdrawn to rest in the miraculously survived village of Suimishche. After a month's rest, on February 28, 1944, the regiment made a march near Orsha, where they again had to conduct an offensive against New Village. Early in the morning, 03/07/1944, artillery preparation began. For nine days, heavy, stubborn battles were fought. The swamp turned into a huge puddle, water and mud during the day, frost at night. It is impossible to dig in properly, water. Big loss, no success. On March 10, 1944, the commander of the regiment, Major Lysenko Anton Karpovich, and his adjutant, Lieutenant Levchenko Andrei Tikhonovich, were killed. The command of the regiment was taken by Major Semyon Vasilievich Baserov (later, November 1944-September 1945, commander of the 297th rifle regiment of the 184th rifle division, lieutenant colonel) from the 291st rifle regiment of the 63rd rifle division.
Finally, we were replaced by newly arrived units and we marched towards Vitebsk. Exhausted by such long bloody battles, we could hardly stand on our feet, the appearance of each was terrible. Near Vitebsk, in the area of the village of Sverchki, the regiment took up defense, command of the regiment was taken by Lieutenant Colonel Vodovozov Roman Naumovich (later, July-September 1944 commander of the 297th rifle regiment of the 184th SD), who arrived from the personnel department of the division.
Our defenses were exceptionally unfavorable. We defended the Vitebsk-Orsha highway in a rather narrow section. This area was clearly visible to the enemy and, noticing the slightest movement, the enemy opened furious artillery fire. Their reconnaissance aircraft "Rama" now and then appeared over our defenses, and each time artillery raids followed it one after another. The Germans did not spare the shells and, as we saw later, their stocks were huge. We were all the time in a state of tension, the enemy is still strong and he is here, nearby, you can expect anything. A new regiment commander arrived - Lieutenant Colonel Pyotr Maksimovich Sidorov, preparations began for new battles.
The Western Front was divided into three Belarusian. Our 63rd Rifle Division, commanded by Major General Laskin, was part of the 5th Army, commanded by Lieutenant General Krylov, and the army was part of the 3rd Belorussian Front under the command of Army General Chernyakhovsky.
On June 22, 1944, a mass offensive of our troops began along the entire front. With us it was like this: on the night of June 22, reconnaissance in force was carried out, the operation was a success. In the morning, artillery preparation began, which lasted two hours. The Germans offered weak resistance, their long-term defense was broken through, the offensive began. The Germans hastily retreated, abandoning equipment, ammunition and various military equipment. On June 23, the city of Vitebsk was taken, the division moved in the direction of Minsk.
For the breakthrough of the German defense in depth and the capture of Vitebsk, the division was thanked by the Supreme Command, by decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, it was given the name "Vitebsk".
For four days of offensive battles from June 22 to 25, 1944, the regiment liberated 37 settlements from the German invaders, among them: Zavoroty, Antoville, Starobobylye, Gorovatka, Aleksandrovo, Obol, Khodorovka, Teplyaki, Zhartsy, Ostrovshchina, Ryabtsy, Pistons, Kaplany, Perebrody and others. They recaptured 23 guns of various calibers, 7 machine guns, 3 ammunition depots, 2 engineering depots and many other property and weapons from the enemy. More than 10,000 people were freed from fascist slavery.
The offensive of our troops was so swift that the retreating Germans did not have time to blow up the bridges. Pursuing the retreating enemy, we made marches of 60-70 km per day. Encouraged by success, we walked day and night without knowing rest, sleeping on the go and in short halts, drenched in sweat in the sultry July days.
The division took part in the encirclement and destruction of the German garrison in Minsk, as well as scattered enemy groups caught in the rear of our troops.
On July 1, 1944 at 14:00 they crossed the Berezina River, at noon on July 2 they crossed the former border with Poland, entered western Belarus. July 3 at 4-00 entered the city of Butslav. Belarus is almost completely liberated from the German invaders, we are moving through Lithuania. The Germans are trying to stop our advance, but in vain. Where our units were resisted, artillery and aircraft fell on the heads of the enemies.
In the town of Meyshagola, the Germans held out for three days, but it was completely swept away, miraculously only the church survived. Everything else has been reduced to piles of bricks and rubble.
The division participated in the encirclement and destruction of the German garrison in the capital of the Lithuanian SSR, the city of Vilna. July 13 for the capture of Vilna division was declared gratitude to the Supreme High Command.
On the night of July 13, 1944, the regiment forded the fast river Viliya. The successful forcing of the river was also facilitated by the fact that it was raining lightly, the sky was covered with clouds and there was no enemy aircraft. The Germans, in all likelihood, directed their efforts to the preservation of the Vilnius garrison, and the regiment did not encounter major obstacles at the crossing. But when crossing the Neman on the night of July 16, a lot of effort and ingenuity were required, since the German coast was heavily fortified, preparation was required to occupy the bridgehead. The crossing was facilitated by the fact that our shore was covered with forest, and the enemy's shore had absolutely no vegetation, not even bushes. Artillery was brought up and installed on the edge of the forest, for direct fire. When darkness fell, only one platoon of volunteers on improvised means began crossing the Neman. The Germans opened fire on them, finding their firing points in the darkness. For our artillery, which was on direct fire, this was and was necessary. To suppress the enemy's firing points, our artillery brought down all its power on the positions of the Germans, the platoon safely crossed to the opposite bank, captured all the enemy's crossing facilities and returned to their bank on them. The enemy's firing points were suppressed, a massive crossing over the Neman began. The Germans conducted only weak rifle fire and our units had no losses.
Two battalions had already crossed the Neman and occupied a bridgehead on the enemy's bank, when the regiment received a new task: to destroy a group of Germans who tried to break through to help the garrison in Vilna, but found themselves surrounded by our units. Leaving the outposts of the recaptured bridgehead behind the Neman, the regiment began to carry out new task. With the help of the tank unit that came to the rescue, the encircled grouping was liquidated, after which the regiment moved to Kaunas.
Kaunas was a German fortress, its approaches were protected by reinforced concrete pillboxes and forts left over from the last world war and improved by the Nazis. But the Red Army already had enough experience and means to destroy such fortifications, and this time it did it successfully. At about four o'clock in the morning on 08/01/1944, the regiment, along with other units, entered the city. Residents met us with flowers, treated us with fruits, wine, invited us to visit.
Retreating, the Germans blew up all the bridges across the Neman River, but this did not stop the advance of our troops. A pontoon crossing was quickly built and units with military equipment crossed the Neman, starting the pursuit of the retreating enemy.
Immediately after the liberation of Kaunas from the Nazi invaders, the inhabitants began to build a temporary bridge across the Neman. A few days later he was ready, the promotion of military supplies and equipment had no delay.
On August 1, 1944, for the capture of the fortress and the city of Kaunas, the division was thanked by the Supreme Command, by the Decree of the USSR PVS, it was awarded the Order of the Red Banner.
August 17, 1944 Lithuania was liberated. Our regiment was the first to reach the border with East Prussia at 3-00 on August 17th. The company of senior lieutenant Ivan Yevgenyevich Korotitsky, in the area east of the border tower No. 50 and north of tower No. 52, crossed the Sheshup River and occupied the Prussian villages of Glabele, Berzheningnen and Groskeninsbruch on its eastern bank. But having received an order to withdraw to its territory, the company retreated back and the regiment took up defense. On this day, Korotitsky died in battle. For being the first to reach the border with East Prussia, the Military Council of the front declared gratitude to the division.
On August 20, the regiment transferred its defense sector to the 558th Infantry Regiment and was transferred to a sector near the town of Syntovty. Here, being on the defensive, during the shelling of our positions by the enemy, the commander of the regiment, Lieutenant Colonel Sidorov Pyotr Maksimovich, and his political officer, Major Ankudovich Vadim Ivanovich, were wounded. Major Andrei Vasilievich Kiselev, who had previously held the position of deputy regiment commander for drill training, was appointed commander of the regiment. Captain Korzhan Petr Makarovich arrived at the post of political officer.
In a breakthrough German defense our division has already accumulated considerable experience. Having had a good rest after summer battles and campaigns, on October 16, 1944, the division again began to break through the German defenses on the border with East Prussia. But, taking advantage of our respite, the Germans improved their defense even more and considered it impregnable.
We were faced with the task of breaking into the lair of the fascist beast. The first two days of fighting had little success. On October 19, the resistance of the Germans was finally broken and in the area of the small town of Naumistes (now Vladislavov), we, having broken through the enemy’s defenses, crossed the border and deepened into the territory East Prussia for 30 km.
The German defense in this area was really strong: several lines of trenches, barbed wire, gouges, anti-tank ditches and a minefield. In the depths of the defense, powerful reinforced concrete pillboxes were built. In addition, in the border strip, seemingly harmless buildings, in fact, were strongholds. There were no villages along the border, only farms predominantly of brick construction, with walls of unusual thickness, basements concreted and special windows in them - loopholes. Attic spaces, as a rule, are brick, they contain living quarters. The Germans used them as observation posts, often there were machine-gun emplacements that fired at our infantry.
On October 28, our offensive ended, the regiment was taken to rest in the town of Abshruten in East Prussia. For breaking through the powerful, in-depth defense of the Germans in East Prussia, the division was thanked by the Supreme Command.
Having gone to rest, we again engaged in combat training.
On January 13, 1945, an offensive began along the entire 3rd Belorussian Front. Later we learned that the offensive began everywhere, on all fronts at the same time.
During the two and a half months of our respite, the Germans had greatly strengthened themselves and were not only preparing to repel our offensive. They were preparing to attack themselves with the intention of driving our troops out of East Prussia. Good intentions, but they were not destined to come true.
The two-hour artillery preparation did not bring us success, for two days we could not move forward. I had to work extra artillery to break the resistance of the enemy. Finally, he began to retreat, but retreating, every now and then he tried to gain a foothold on pre-prepared defensive lines. In the first five days of fighting, we advanced only 40-45 km, and then the pace of the offensive began to increase every day. For participation in breaking through the defense of the Germans, the division was again thanked by the Supreme High Command.
We occupied the settlements of Pimkallen, Stalludenen, Gumbinnen and on January 21, 1945 captured the city of Insterburg - important node communications and a powerful fortified area of the Germans on the way to Koenigsberg.
In Insterburg, our units captured large trophies, a lot of different foodstuffs and various military equipment. There were no inhabitants in the city, the haste of their flight was felt everywhere. In many apartments one could see a set table and an unfinished dinner. Merchants left their shops and fled with the retreating Nazis. From long-range guns, the Germans subjected the city to heavy shelling, day and night the city burned and collapsed, blocking the streets with bricks and debris from buildings.
For the capture of the city of Insterburg, the division was thanked by the Supreme High Command. For breaking through the defenses in East Prussia, the division was awarded the Order of Suvorov, 2nd degree, and the 346th Rifle Regiment awarded the order Alexander Nevsky (Decree of February 19, 1945).
The population of East Prussia left with the retreating Nazi armies, leaving their livestock and property. Finally, they experienced the fate of our people in 1941.
Soon civilians began to come across. The Poles came to meet us, returning to their homeland. There were Russians who fled from German slavery.
By the forces of two fronts - ours and the 2nd Belorussian, the Germans were squeezed into pincers and pressed to the Baltic Sea. We occupied one settlement after another. Finally, they occupied the city of Kreuzburg, the town of Tiefental. Despite the presence of spring mud and rains, the pace of the offensive did not slow down, we moved to Koenigsberg.
In the area of the town of Tiefental, the commander of the front, General of the Army, twice Hero of the Soviet Union Chernyakhovsky, died. The front was commanded by Marshal of the Soviet Union Vasilevsky.
The Germans were pressed against Frisches Gaf Bay. Their further withdrawal was possible only along the spit, the width of which in some places was no more than 400 meters. This only escape route from the shore was under fire from our artillery all the time. Ships fired from the sea along the spit Baltic Fleet, the aviation of both fronts was not indifferent. The extermination of the fascist conquerors here was in the full sense of the word.
On April 10, 1945, the last German fortress in East Prussia, the city of Koenigsberg, collapsed. For several days the division fought for the city in a southwestern direction. Finally, on April 9, units of the 11th Army broke into the city and, with the help of units of the 5th Army, captured the city on April 10. The Red Banner was flying over Koenigsberg.
On April 17, the German grouping in East Prussia was completely defeated, the remnants of the German army surrendered. We came close to the Baltic Sea.
For participation in the battles in East Prussia, Khenov was awarded the second Order of the Red Star.
So, from Kaluga to the shores of the Baltic Sea, in campaigns with fierce battles with the Nazi invaders, our glorious 63rd Rifle Division Vitebsk Red Banner Order of the Suvorov passed.
On the way back from the Frisches Gaf Bay via Rinau, Mettkoim, Nautsken Station, Kailin, Wangen, Bendizen Manor, Legitten Manor, Labiau City, Tatenberg, Lukisken, Povangen, Krakau, Dedawe, Kleinflis, Strinland. Having stopped on April 20 in the master's yard, they put themselves in order, really washed themselves in the bathhouse, and changed into summer uniforms. Having celebrated May 1, on May 3 they marched to Narkitten station. Here wagons were brought to us, their equipment began, then loading. Soon we set off and, having passed Insterburg, which we had recently taken, we left East Prussia.
On May 9, 1945, at the station Molodechnoye - Western Belarus, the echelon was stopped and a rally was announced on the occasion of the victory over Nazi Germany. The head of the political department of the division, Colonel Kuzmin, spoke at the rally. Joy knew no bounds. A party began in the echelon, the inhabitants of the Molodechnoye station dragged moonshine. On this day, everything was forgiven to all of us, the day of the desired victory over fascism came, they drank for victory, the end of the war!
We passed Minsk, in Moscow the train was taken to the Kazan road, the path is clear - we are following to the Far East.
We pass the cities of Kazan, Sverdlovsk, Omsk, Novosibirsk, Khabarovsk. Finally, on June 9, we arrived at the Manzovka station, where we unloaded. They were deployed 7 km from the Manzovka station, at the foot of large hills, in houses built from tents.
Replenishment arrived, combat training began. We were getting ready to settle scores with Japanese samurai. The division was commanded by Major General Gorodovikov, Hero of the Soviet Union, and again in the 5th Army under Colonel General Krylov.
In July, they marched in the direction of the border with Manchuria and concentrated in the area of Medvezhya Mountain, 30 kilometers from the border and 12 km from Grodekovo station.
Our 5th Army was part of the 1st Far Eastern Front, commanded by Marshal Meretskov of the Soviet Union.
Preparations for the offensive were entering the last stage, part of our units were already on the border and were monitoring the enemy. On August 6, after a short march, we reached the border and concentrated in the area of the Potato hill.
Between the hill "Potato" and the hill occupied by the enemy, there was a swamp. The enemy's hill was covered with forest, and we have only sparse bushes. A day before the offensive, one of the companies, having received the order of the regiment commander, moved to the enemy’s hill, cut down the forest and paved the swamp indicated above. At the same time, not a single shot was fired from the Japanese.
Early in the morning of August 8, without any artillery preparation, as was always the case in the war with the Germans, our units, together with the border guards, quietly crossed the border, destroyed the Japanese border posts and began to deepen into the territory of Manchuria. We had gone several kilometers when the Japanese tried to detain our units. From the hills where the pillboxes were built, they opened fire on us, but our self-propelled guns quickly cleared the way for the infantry, destroying them.
Climbing the hill and looking back, it was clear what an avalanche of troops and equipment was moving deep into Manchuria, and it was clear that no force was able to stop it.
Praised throughout the world, the Japanese Kwantung Army, on the very first day of our offensive, began to retreat without offering resistance. But the roads from the border inland were bad. The Japanese, apparently, thought only to advance and did not build roads. The first days we advanced slowly, then the pace of the offensive began to increase every day, but the campaign was not easy: hills, swamps, mountain rivers - such was the path of our troops.
On August 10 we occupied the Hobei station, on August 11 the Gold Mine, on August 13 the city of Mulin, on August 15 the Madaoshi station. Already here, individual units of the Kwantung Army began to surrender. We see entire columns of samurai following the collection points of prisoners. There are many Japanese women among the prisoners, apparently the wives of officers, walking in columns with children behind their backs.
On the outskirts of the station and the city of Mudanjiang on August 18, the Japanese tried to resist. With the interaction of artillery and aviation, resistance was broken and our units took possession of it. On August 20, they occupied the Dunhua station, and on August 21 they entered the city of Jilin, where they disarmed the Japanese garrison and settled in their military camp on the outskirts of Jilin.
The Kwantung Army capitulated. Our regiment ended military operations on this, and soon they were completed everywhere. In 13 days, through the hills and swamps, in unbearable heat, we covered almost 500 km.
On August 23, 1945, Supreme Commander-in-Chief Comrade Stalin, for participating in the breakthrough of the Border Fortified Region, overcoming the hard-to-reach, mountainous taiga terrain with a length of 500 km and capturing the city of Jilin in Manchuria, the division was thanked.
On September 19, 1945, by decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, the division was awarded the Order of Kutuzov, 2nd class, and our 346th Infantry Regiment, the second Order of the Red Banner.
So, the 63rd Rifle Vitebsk Order of "Suvorov" 2nd degree, the Order of "Kutuzov" 2nd degree, and, consequently, the 346th Rifle Regiment twice Red Banner Order of Alexander Nevsky, for their combat path have 8 thanks from the Supreme Commander Comrade Stalin and 1 gratitude from the Military Council of the front.
On October 23, we leave Manchuria and, having loaded into wagons, we follow to the Soviet Union. On October 29, they arrived at the Hun-Chun station, 20 km from the state border, and on October 31 in the Soviet Union they settled in a village with a Chinese name - Hun-Chun. On November 10, they arrived in the town of Barabash, and on November 11, at the designated point of Pogran-Petrovka, settling in the Soviet military town, with our Soviet name.
But we did not stay long on Soviet soil. Less than two weeks later, we were taken back to Manchuria, this time to the city of Yangtze and back to our military town of Pogran-Petrovka on April 21, 1946. We returned here through Vantsin, Tumyn. Soon we heard good news: on the basis of the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, demobilization of older soldiers from the army was announced. I also belonged to this category.
In the first half of May 1946, the dispatch of demobilized soldiers began from Pogran-Petrovka. We were presented with certificates stating feats of arms and warm parting words signed by the division commander, Colonel Samarin, and the head of the political department, Colonel Deinega.
But not everyone waited for the Victory Day and these joyful days of returning to their homeland. Many, many remained on the battlefields and I will never forget my comrades-in-arms, among them:
Senior sergeant, head of the radio station Lekomtsev Nikolai Semenovich, 1917, merry fellow, good harmonica player, originally from Kirov, killed on 08/05/1944 by a sniper bullet in Lithuania.
Battalion commander captain Ivan Vasilyevich Garnaev, born 1922, killed on 04/18/1944 during an artillery raid on the regiment's command post in the Sverchkov area.
Chief of Staff of the Regiment Captain Voskresensky Petr Ivanovich, born 1902, who died on 08/30/1943 during a German air raid in Yelnya
Battalion adjutant Captain Zolotov Viktor Nikolaevich, born 1910, who died on 06/23/1944
Regiment commander Major Lysenko Anton Karpovich, born 1903, killed 03/10/1944
Chief of the chemical service, Senior Lieutenant Salnikov Petr Ivanovich, 1921, who died on September 19, 1945 in a car accident
Sergeant Klyauzov Alexey Vasilyevich, born in 1904, escaped from Nazi captivity, fought in the West and died on 08/13/1945 in Manchuria in a battle at the Pelinskhe junction.
On the fields of Lithuania, on 10/17/1944, the agitator of the regiment, captain Bayadilov Abulkhair, 1913, and many, many others, died.
There were many good friends and comrades-in-arms who remained alive over the years. Some are still in the ranks Soviet army, and the majority work for the glory of our Fatherland.
Good memories remain of Sergeant Major Vasily Chebotarev, we have known him since 1943, he comes from the Rostov region. In 1965, 19 years after our parting in Pogran-Petrovka in 1946, I tracked him down through the Rostov address desk. He lives in Taganrog, worked as the head of the city's communications. Being at a resort in Kislovodsk, we agreed to meet on the way back, and on May 15, 1965, the meeting took place in Taganrog. How much joy, memories brought this unforgettable meeting.
Alexey Khenov, 1966, Perm
Connection history:
It was formed according to the order of NPO No. 15 from August 15, 1941 in the city of Volsk, Saratov Region, Volga Military District. In the period from August 15 to December 1, combat training of the division and its combat equipment took place. On August 27, the division commander, commander Davydovsky I.E., arrived. He had extensive combat experience and was awarded two Orders of the Red Banner. In the Soviet-Finnish war he commanded 10SK, then he was a teacher of tactics at the Military Academy. M.V. Frunze. By September 1, the division numbered 12,000. Each rifle regiment had 3,200 people in its composition. There was intense combat training. However, there was not enough mat. parts, teaching aids. Commanders and fighters aspired to one goal - to defeat the enemy. In November, the commission of Gen. The headquarters and a member of the Armed Forces of the PrivVO accepted the readiness of the division for battle. The connection was considered sufficiently prepared to be sent to the front. On November 25, an order was received to send in echelons to the area of Ryazhsk. On November 26, the echelons of the division began to go to the front. They were ordered to take two refills of fuel and the entire available supply of ammunition with them. On December 1, 41 346sd units numbered 12035 people, 8 122mm, 28 76mm, 6 37mm guns, 18 45mm, 18 1200, 72 50mm mortars, 8757 rifles, 108 easel, 163 light machine guns, 464ppsh, 2657 horses.

From mid-November 41g. the direction to Ryazhsk was practically open to the enemy, because. a large gap in the front formed between parts 50A and 3A. The advanced motorized detachments of the enemy advanced to the railway sowing. Ryazhsk, but at the end of November they were defeated in the area of st. Zheltukhino parts of the fresh 84msbr moving towards Moscow along the railway. On November 28, the marines of Colonel Moleev from the 84th MSR drove out the advanced units of the enemy from the town of Skopin as well. 10 and 29md of Guderian's army, which carried out the flank of his army, retreated to st. Pavelets and did not carry out further advance to the east. Severe frosts hit in early December 41g. shackled the activities of enemy units that did not have winter uniforms. In addition, the German command did not at all expect a strike on the hitherto calm flank of its troops. On the flank of Guderian, the command of the Red Army concentrated two fresh armies at once (10A and 61A).
346sd became part of 61A, Colonel-General Kuznetsov F.I. However, only 346, 350 and 356sd were the most well-combat-ready and armed. The remaining divisions had few mortars and machine guns.

Military diary of K. Ya. Nayakshina
It seems that the fate of Professor Nayakshin was destined in advance by some higher powers. He was born in 1900 in Tatarstan. A contemporary of the 20th century, he went through all the cataclysms of history together with him. Moreover, K. Ya. Nayakshin, an honorary citizen of Samara, was born on October 25, according to the old style. His whole life was connected with the October events. After graduating from the parish school, he worked as an upholsterer in the craft workshop of Naberezhnye Chelny, and also sang in the church choir. He supported the coming to power of the Bolsheviks and joined the Red Army. In the 1920s he continued his studies and received a university education. He was in the party and Soviet work, lectured in the Samara pedagogical institute, as well as in SHI. He became interested in antiquity and wrote a dissertation on history ancient rome. To do this, I read primary sources in Latin.
During collectivization, he was sent by party organs to the Volga villages as an agitator. Participated in the suppression of unrest of the peasants. His family thought he had been murdered several times. In one of the villages there is a monument, where one can read his name on a tablet among those who died at the hands of the kulaks. But he did not die, since fate had destined Kuzma Nayakshin otherwise.
Since 1937 he was removed from labor activity He, like many other potential victims of Stalinism, fished under the Vilonovsky Spusk. There were many unemployed people like him, at first there were hundreds, but every month their number dwindled. Article 58 worked and found new victims. K. Ya. Nayakshin turned out to be in demand by the Soviet authorities only after the invasion of the Nazi troops into the territory of the USSR.
Military notes 1941-1943 Kuzma Yakovlevich Nayakshin was discovered by us recently:
History lover Stanislav Shanko helped to read and decipher them. The diaries are published for the first time.
So, the diary of Major K. Nayakshin. The beginning of a brutal war. The notes are concise. No time to write. And only in moments of calm it was written easier and more. He did not embellish the war, death and machine-gun bursts were just everyday details. Someone behaved decently. Someone couldn't stand it. But the strong went ahead, such as Nayakshin. And there were many. It was they who led the country to victory.

December 6, 1941 Launched an attack on Novo-Mikhailovskoye. I, with the 1166th Infantry Regiment, occupied the burning village. The village of Semyonovka and its environs were all burned down. Troops are drawn into the powder smoke zones. Fire, rain, sleet, ice.
December 1941 Occupied a number of villages and villages. Went with Abush to rest. Shchepkin followed.
December 16, 1941 Battle for Volovo - the Germans managed to escape. They seized a car with the Germans, a lot of trophies. Commissar of the 1168 Rifle Regiment Terekhov is a hoarder.
December 17, 1941 In the “commissariat” the commander of the 1166th Infantry Regiment beat the commander of the supply platoon, I arrested this supply man. The people are hungry and he is drunk. Let's go ahead.
On December 20, 1941, the Tula-Moscow, Meshcheryaki, and Baburine highways were occupied near Dairy Yards.
December 21, 1941 Battle for Teploe. I am again with the 1168 Infantry Regiment. We took over this station.
December 23, 1941 Battle for Gorbachevo. We occupied this large junction station. restored Soviet power. As in Teploye, he himself appointed managers and the chairman. The villages are on fire, the elevator is on fire. We go forward to the Oka.
December 30, 1941 Battle on the Oka. The Germans were heavily dug in. Big sacrifices. The wounded in the barn. Unloading, mobilization of people and supply.
December 31, 1941 In the 1166th Infantry Regiment. Peskishev, Uncle - in the forest, met New Year. They congratulated each other. Volley "Katyusha". Blizzard. The battle for the village of Fedyashevo began. Occupied. At 4 o'clock - to the apartment. Drank for the New Year. There were Kravchenko, Lukin.
January 1, 1942 Shchepkin came for me. Peskishev asked to leave. A good conversation with the commander of the regiment at the stove on the straw about the nature of the fighting.
January 2, 1942 Heavy fighting near Tipichevo, Khmelevets, Bedrishchevo, Fedyashevo. Sasha Izyumov told the terrible news - Abush died. On the straw in the corner, I turned away from everyone and cried. Abush was a rare person, an intelligent, stern, loyal comrade, a Bolshevik.
January 3, 1942 Again unsuccessful battles. The foreman died. Savic behaved well in battle. He got the people on the attack. Tolkachevo was taken, but caught in the crossfire. Tanks. Forced to leave. Victims.
January 4, 1942 Heavy fighting again in the morning. He walked in chains with fighters under fire from artillery and machine guns. Night. The young battalion commander lost control. I had to play the role of a link. Fixed the connection. Political instructor Gorbachev fought heroically in hand-to-hand combat. We retreated to our original positions.
January 5, 6, 1942 Again fighting, but unsuccessful.
January 7, 1942 Moving through Belyaev. Bath. Colonel Zinoviev - chief of staff, with drunken eyes led to the front line, almost to the Germans.
January 8, 1942 On Gryn. Terrible battles near the village of Gryn. Krotov and his battalion were killed. The whole village is burned down. Kapustin behaved firmly. The signalman in the hut kept repeating: "Saturn". There is no connection. Piles of the dead, Fire, snowstorm. The commander of the division and the commander of the army visited - a request to go to him, since the Germans are two kilometers away, and I have 7 people in the headquarters guard, seated under apple trees in the snow. The Germans are firing mortars. Hard day.
January 9-11, 1942 Days of fighting for Gryn. They took the territory where there was a village - not a single house. The barn is half broken. Night. Dead bodies all around. The signalman in the corner is straining, shouting: "Saturn 2nd!" "Saturn 2nd!"... But "Saturn" is silent. Krotov's battalion was destroyed. Krotov himself died. Kapustin behaved heroically: he, hiding behind corpses, fired. Shot through his overcoat in several places and holster too. Dry, tall, wind-beaten - at these moments he is somehow unusual. Savic is with me. On the alarming night of January 10, at my request, he suggested that Divisional Commander Davydovsky and Commander Popov immediately leave the village, since the Germans were nearby.
January 11, 1942 They brought a captured German - his head was tied with a women's scarf, a chief corporal, without an overcoat, his machine gun was broken. He stretches into a string. Thug. Sent to headquarters. The “encirclement” fell into the hands ... It is clear from everything that they are unscrupulous, cowardly, lying. I beat one, he is lying too brazenly, and besides, he also confuses. Moved to Zheleznica.
January 12, 1942 Battle of Zheleznitsa. Shchepkin gathered political workers. He is extremely dissatisfied that political workers are not killed and wounded enough, citing the fact that they do not go to the front line. Fool and bastard! With Belovodov's group went Pakhomov - a nice dapper guy - was killed. An hour later, the commissar of the 1164 Infantry Regiment, Shakurov, was killed. They took the iron, but gave it back. No one to hold.
January 13, 1942 Battle for Zheleznitsa.
January 14, 1942 I am leaving for the regiment to Peskishev, Vinogradov's battalion. He goes to Leonovo, I stay in Ozerinsky with Peskishev.
January 15, 1942 In the morning, Vinogradov's battalion was defeated, he himself was wounded, the remnants of the battalion in Ozerinsky. An hour and a half later, 4 German tanks near Ozerinsky were shelling houses and the square. The convoy started to run. I had to stop with a revolver. Focused on the ravine. Strong mortar fire, then from tanks, the German infantry breaks through. We lie in the snow - tanks 200 meters away. Explosion - stunned, pulled out by the fighters, put in a sled, woke up in the village. Trivia. The shard grazed his arm and side. Bandaged in the 1168 Infantry Regiment. After many sleepless nights, he fell asleep dead in Shchepkin's apartment. He took over the regiment after the death of Shakurov, Afanasiev, Abush and many others. He began to understand, and, most importantly, to be afraid that nothing could be done simply and easily.
January 16, 1942 The Germans attack Ozerinskoye. Tanks again in the village set fire to houses, shoot at point-blank range. Peskishev came out against them with bottles, hit by four bullets. How I loved that simple, coarse, jerky soul. Regiment commander wounded. Ozerinsky defended.
January 17, 1942 Peskishev was buried in the village of Gostkovo.
January 18-25, 1942 We moved with things closer to Sorochinsk. The attack on the village of Teploe by the remnants of the division's forces. Lieutenant Glinkov, deputy. political instructor Khadzhimuratov fought desperately with 18 fighters, everyone died, but the Germans were not allowed to take a single step. Heroic feat. The fearless medical instructor became the squad leader. 7 people held back the enemy, repulsing the attacks of entire companies. scary nights in the village of Nogaya. Around the dense forests and in them the Germans. We are few. The shelves are already depleted. Must go to the Volkhov. We are moving. With Zaitsev, they organized defense throughout the village. I organize everything myself - I pull off those who climbed onto the stove to warm themselves. I swear, although I know that people are immensely tired. But the order is to leave. Unfortunately, he broke up with Zaitsev forever - wonderful, kind, reliable.
On January 25-31, 1942, the village of Ivanovka was attacked 18 times, but they could not be taken. We have little artillery fire, the divisional commander cursed - why am I and Savich here, under fire.
February 1-6, 1942 In Sorokino we receive replenishment from the collective farmers of the Smolensk and Tulshchina. They are not prepared, but they must be thrown into battle immediately. Many die because of bad training. I go to Belets for reinforcements, a scandal with the 387th Infantry Division, I immediately get 700 people, I line them up on the outskirts of the streets. German planes are firing. There is no mercy. I leave 20 people in cars, the rest on foot. Gathering slowly. Polienko is sent in batches to the regiments.
February 7, 1942 Night at Polienko. Intervened Popov, says - Shchepkin recalled. Kapustin will be the boss. I will be his deputy. Let it be so, I'm not chasing ranks.
February 8, 1942 I am taking on a new position in Ukolitsa. Essentially the same, although there is more responsibility. I look through directives and other papers.
February 9 -28, 1942 Heroically defended the frontiers of Belovodov with 70 fighters. 7 days and 7 nights. Continuous battles - during the day they will retreat 100 meters - at night again forward. They fought well. Andrusenko (Nachkhim) began to fight. He is a very good commander, not a "chim". Polienko drinks. Alexandrov is wounded. Savic caught a cold. Now Kapustin took a deep breath. We live together. Volodya cooks wonderfully. We can't share the horses. We finally agreed: Kapustin - bay, Savich - black, and me - my own. I'm going to Bolkhov. There are 7 kilometers left. We were tired and could not take the city. In essence, this is active defense. February 22 received the medal "For Courage". Workers of the political department handed over.
March 1942 Trips to units, meetings, reports. Karpenko and Yevtushenko live nearby and drink at lunchtime.
April 1942. He evicted the inhabitants of Ukolitsa at 24 o'clock himself. It's raining heavily. Kapustin fell from Pulka's horse, she broke her leg. They ordered to cut, we defended. Survived. It is difficult with food, I'm going to the army. People's Commissar Pavlov brought the unusable. Mud, no roads. Polienko recorded a severe reprimand. They were going to judge - I defended. "Parts in the defense. Nutrition began to improve.
May 1942. We traveled well with Lubyanov. He made a bath in the forest. The Germans, three hundred meters away, every day play the gramophone of Vadim Kozin: "Let's shake hands, and on a long journey for many years ..."
June 1942 We went to the forest. The dugouts are well-maintained. Savich and I are in our hut. Doesn't spill. Kapustin is nearby. You can live, but your heart is restless. Every night German planes bomb a little. Artillery fire daily.
July 1942 Getting ready to celebrate the division. They wrote her story with Alexandrov. It turned out nothing. Komdiv and Popov approved. I am going to Lieutenant General Belov and Dubrovsky to sign documents on awarding the regiments. Received well. I'm going to headquarters to Zhukov, Bulganin, Makarov. Accepts Makarov, although he is sick. We contact Bulganin. Promise support, leave the documents. I spend the night in Maly Yaroslavets and drive back. Tula is running out of fuel, with great difficulty got. It's hard on the fronts in the south.
August 1942 The first days are ordinary. The command post is now in a ravine - in a field. I go there every day. Shooting all around. The whole Ukolitsa is on fire. Here it is. 4 hours 55 minutes on August 11, the Germans launched an artillery attack - devilish fire. Up to 200 tanks went to Belovodov. Junkers - up to 80. They bombed, all around hell. Belovodov's regiment is crushed. The Germans are coming, you can see how everything around is on fire. I am at the command post, next to Popov, Kapustin (Savich at a meeting in the army). Alexandrov left to watch the Germans go. The earth is trembling. Order to retreat. The Germans approach the village of Sorokino. There is no connection with Lubtsov and Lukin. They are already surrounded. The Junkers destroyed all our artillery, one howitzer remained, with 14 shells for it. That's all. Popov ordered that all staff documents and files be taken immediately. I get into a car. The post was delayed and remained with the Germans. Through the ring of gaps I got to the rear. There is goodwill. They give an order - to load, to go, what cannot be captured - to burn. Polienko has arrived. The German tanks are already there. Headlong I went to the forest road. Gap. The car was hit - the driver in one direction, I run in the other direction. At the turn, our horses are on them. Planes are bombing. The horses are dead. I run out to another road. They drag our howitzer there. I ran half a kilometer. The editorial machine that got stuck earlier catches up - I get into it. Oh shit, the whole convoy drove into the forest and got stuck. I saw "wounded animals". A tribunal awaits them (for a crossbow - ed.). In the car of the divisional commander, we drove out onto the road. The German bombs in the tail of the retreating column. There is impassable mud in the forest, carts and cars are dragged on themselves. When leaving the forest, I give the order to stop, put up a barrage detachment, the young uchbazovtsy still run in a panic. I drive up to Karpenko and Yevtushenko. We decided to keep the defense near the village of Kulikovo, to expose all the living. There were up to 300 people. I appointed Karpenko as commander, Yevtushenko as commissar. The rear ordered to be taken to the forest for 4 kilometers. Night did not sleep. It was restless.
August 12, 1942 Savic returned lighter. Terekhov came, but without people - suspiciously. From the environment, someone got one by one. They formed detachments - three battalions, appointed commanders and political workers. Karpenko - in Kulikovo. Yevtushenko is in the ravine, I'm with him. He visited the rear. The Germans are advancing all over the area. The trees are burning. The Germans reached the Sukhinichi-Kaluga railway line. Delay at any cost! Kulikovo is holding out, but we are in a semicircle. Across the river, the Germans are in our rear, bypassing the forest. Difficult. Spoke with headquarters. They do not know the details, and in general they are not up to date. General Samfin arrived. Reported. I looked and left. Belov promised a tank brigade. The situation is becoming more and more critical with each passing hour. And then they came from the chefs, they brought everything. The secretary of the district committee arrived, the workers are wonderful people, but not at the right time. We thanked them for the gifts. They understand our position without words. Pale, anxious, they somehow spent the night, and we asked them to leave, thanking them. Karpenko fights desperately at Kulikovo. He sent the former commander of the 66th Infantry Regiment to help him. The Germans surrounded his headquarters. Repulsed. Tanks roar. We are a bunch of people, and the direction is very important. Hold!
August 1942 tank brigade Petrova has arrived. Petrov took command of the site. Boasted - I'll show you how to fight. The tanks were pulled into the forest road, into impassable mud. At night, the Germans set fire to 27 tanks. Petrov is wounded - confused. We are alone again. With Yevtushenko we are going to the approaching rifle regiment (1151). We inform. It became easier, as they covered our left flank.
August 17, 1942 Finally, I felt better. Oh, those nights in the forest, on the roads, in the semicircle, without serious strength, but german tanks beside. For four nights I did not sleep with Savich. The third tank corps and the 251st rifle division arrived. We have given up the area. We're going with the whole division. 1918 people out of 10,000 remained. 4,600 fighters died, the rest are unknown where, possibly surrounded. Divisional commander Popov died, the wonderful Kapustin died, the fate of the entire headquarters is not known. They were assigned to the 16th Army of Rokossovsky. From there they were redirected to the 50th Army. Lubyanov returned. Wonderful. He behaved heroically. The wounded Alexandrov arrived again. He is not afraid, perhaps not even afraid! The wonderful Fishko and a number of others died, almost all the political instructors and party organizers. Belovodov returned. All are grouped together. Commissioner of a hundred Lubyanovs. Saved the regiment number. We are in the village, the regiment is fighting. Bad fame went. As if we retreated from the area, allegedly abandoned Ukolitsa. Yes, an unenviable fate. We could not resist when half of the people died, there were no cannons and machine guns, they were defeated. There is no ammunition, and the Germans have hundreds of tanks, dozens of aircraft and motorized infantry. But our people did not leave, they remained surrounded and heroically, making their way, almost all died. Is it possible to scold people for the fact that they remained alive, having done everything possible and impossible? I'm coming to Lubyanov. Forest. There is a battle, dead Germans are lying around. No, Lubyanov and the fighters did not let us down. When our fighters were seen in action, they began to say otherwise. The cavalrymen themselves fled, and our corps commander declared gratitude, set them as an example to his units. New order again to the 61st regiment, we are going to Belev. Anchishkin arrived. An intelligent man, with erudition, with vast experience in party work. We quickly agreed, even Savich obeyed. We live in the village, we put ourselves in order. We calculate what is, what is not. I have left - in what I jumped out of the wrecked car - a uniform, an overcoat and a cap. Even before Anchishkin's arrival, Polienko and I gathered all the officers, set tasks - to comprehend what had happened. We stop rumors. At this moment, Skalovsky is like snow on his head. I am glad, because this is a serious commander, gunner, knowledgeable. He was given command of the division, or rather, I instructed, as a senior. Karpenko and Yevtushenko are offended, as they again remained in the same positions with their regiment.
September 1942 An unexpected order - to the location of the main Headquarters. We are loaded, we go to Tula, we look - Michurinsk. Sent to the Tishinsky camps, in essence - rest. Meetings, conferences. Colonel Komiluchovsky warmed up. For cowardice sent to a penal battalion.
September 15, 1942 Again to Plavsk. Settled in the villages. We get replenishment. Expanded work. A new division commander arrived - fat, I don’t like it. A new commissar arrived - an uncivilized man. It got boring. We are part of the fifth tank army,
October 1942 Went to see Ushakov, head of the Fifth Tank Army. Telegram from the Headquarters of the Supreme Commander. Revoked. I'm going.
October 26, 1942 air army. I have no idea about aviation. The environment is shabby, dirty. Oh, it's worse here than here. But nothing. I’m going on a business trip to the 71st aviation battalion, on the way I picked up things former place services in Plavsk. I saw Belovodov - they said goodbye warmly. And here's the joy - Savic is here. We had lunch. We talked. It became sad. Goodbye. Now that's it - I'm not in the 346th Infantry Division. I'm going to new places, to new surroundings, to new strangers - to aviators.
November 1942 The terrible month of Stalingrad. Surcharge in the aviation regiments of the 176th aviation division - one motive - to survive. The pilots are at first cool about the surcharge, and then they refuse, just like the infantry. This is unusual.
December 1942 I'm going home on a business trip. Here it is, a military country. At home, life is hard, as expected, but cheerfully, and this is the main thing. Was at the Kruglovs, Gavrilov - they keep well. The youth feel uncomfortable. They are cowardly before the war and are ashamed to be at home, they work poorly, as everyone is absorbed in the extraction of food. In the bread shop (corner of L. Tolstoy and Chapaevskaya) the line begins with Krasnoarmeyskaya. They have been standing since 4 in the morning, writing numbers on their palms. Many still do not get bread. Oh, and I don't want to go back to the front, but I have to. I'll get there in January 1943.
Further, as part of parts of the 1st Belorussian Front, K. Ya. Nayakshin participated in Battle of Kursk. With battles he went to the western border of the USSR, liberated Poland. He ended the war in Berlin and was sent to the responsible post of commandant of the city of Magdeburg. Having given four years of his life to fight against the German troops, he became at the origins of the formation of a new peaceful Germany. After demobilization, Kuzma Yakovlevich was engaged in teaching activities in Samara, wrote many books on the history of the region, until the end of his days he retained his love for nature, for fishing. In 1982, he was accidentally pushed onto an iron ladder, which ultimately caused his death. The country began to prepare for renewal and restructuring. The old cadres, saturated with Bolshevism and Leninism, turned out to be like a bone in the throat. The fate of many was sealed.
