Today is Airborne Day. Let's remember the paratroopers of the 6th Airborne Company of the 104th Regiment of the Pskov Airborne Division, who died in battle near Hill 776. There 84 Pskov paratroopers stepped into immortality. Only six managed to survive. They resisted 2.5 thousand militants who were trying to break out of the encirclement. For courage and heroism shown in battles with terrorists, 22 paratroopers were awarded the title of Hero of Russia, 21 of them posthumously. 68 soldiers and officers were awarded the Order of Courage, 63 of them posthumously.
The regimental tactical group of the 104th parachute regiment was assigned a combat mission by the decision of the commander of the Eastern Group: by 14.00 on February 29, 2000, complete the exit of the 2nd battalion to the line of marks 705.6, 626.0, and 787.0, which is four kilometers southeast of Ulus- Kert. In this direction, the guards were supposed to block the area and prevent the enemy in the direction of the settlements of Makhkety, Kirov-Yurt, Elistanzhi, Selmentauzen, Vedeno.
Fulfilling the combat mission set by the high command, the 2nd battalion, with the forces of the 6th airborne company, the 3rd platoon of the 4th airborne company and the reconnaissance platoon, early in the morning of February 28, began advancing from mark 636.0 along the route - mark 828.0, 819.0 , Mount Dembay-irzy. By the end of the day, the paratroopers had to cross the Abazulgol River and set up roadblocks at marks 776.0, 787.0, 626.0, Mount Istykort in order to prevent the enemy in the direction of Ulus-Kert, Selmentauzen. The division was headed by the commander of the guard battalion, Lieutenant Colonel M. Evtyukhin. The exit to the indicated line was carried out on foot.
Moving at top speed, the 1st platoon of the 6th paratrooper company, together with the reconnaissance patrol under the command of the guard senior lieutenant Vorobyov, reached the height with a mark of 776.0 by 1600 on February 28
However, weather conditions prevented the paratroopers from completing their task until the end of the day. The suddenly descending dense fog made the further movement of the units almost impossible. Therefore, the group commander made a decision: to suspend the execution of the task until the morning and free time withdraw to the preparation of the fire system, engineering equipment positions and rest. The 6th airborne company with the 3rd platoon of the 4th PDR and with reinforcements were also forced to stop moving and stay overnight on Mount Dembayirzy.
On the morning of February 29, the units again resumed movement and advanced to the designated lines. By 11.00, the 3rd platoon of the 4th parachute company reached the height of 787.0, and by 11.20 the 6th PDR reached the mark of 776.0 - the clearing of Mount Istykort.
A reconnaissance platoon advancing at a distance of 100-150 meters from two platoons of the 6th parachute company unexpectedly discovered a group of militants numbering up to 20 people. Without wasting a second, the paratroopers opened aimed fire at the militants from small arms, and the artillery spotter of the guard, captain V. Romanov, called in artillery fire.
The enemy responded with machine gun and sniper rifle fire and began to sip reinforcements. The commander of the 6th Airborne Company of the Guard, Major S. Molodov, did not lose his head, but competently organized the battle, during which the militants suffered losses. However, among the paratroopers there were wounded.
Having pulled up additional forces and thereby creating a numerical superiority in manpower, the militants opened heavy fire on the paratroopers from sniper rifles, machine guns and grenade launchers. Has developed difficult situation, for the resolution of which the commander of the guard battalion, Lieutenant Colonel M. Evtyukhin, made the only right decision - to retreat to a height with a mark of 776.0 and there, at a more favorable line, organize defense.
To cover the retreat of two platoons of the 6th Airborne Company, it was entrusted to scouts under the command of Guards Senior Lieutenant A. Vorobyov. Having taken convenient positions on the southern outskirts of the clearing, the reconnaissance soldiers returned fire on the militants, which allowed the 6th PDR to withdraw, evacuate the wounded and organize defense.
During the retreat, the paratroopers suffered the first losses. Carrying out from under fire the wounded sergeant of the contract service S. Ivanov, the commander of the guard company, Major S. Molodov, was mortally wounded.
Having taken a height with a mark of 776.0, the 6th paratrooper company under the command of the deputy commander of the guard company, Captain R. Sokolov, repelled the attacks of militants until 16.50, which, despite significant losses (about 60 people were killed), continued to advance.
By 5 p.m., the militants again brought up reinforcements and, having increased the intensity of fire, made an attempt to attack the height from two directions - western and north-western. A hard fight ensued.
The commander of the guard battalion, Lieutenant Colonel M. Evtyukhin, personally directed the fire of his subordinates, corrected artillery fire and constantly advanced to the most dangerous directions. During the incessant shelling, he managed to take out five wounded subordinates from enemy fire, evacuated the wounded Guards Sergeant A. Suponinsky from the battlefield, who subsequently fought to the end next to Lieutenant Colonel M. Evtyukhin.
At the same time, two platoons of the 3rd Airborne Company, located at the 666.0 mark, entered into battle with the bandits, commanded by Guard Captain Vasiliev. The guardsmen repulsed several enemy attacks, destroying 12 militants in the process, and attempted to break through to the 6th paratrooper company. However, this attempt was unsuccessful: the paratroopers were stopped by heavy enemy fire. During the breakthrough, the artillery spotter of the guard, Lieutenant Yu. Zolotov, was wounded.
The 3rd platoon of the 3rd parachute company, under the pressure of the bandits, was forced to retreat to their positions and repel the attacks of the militants.
Until the evening of February 29, the militants continued to conduct heavy fire from small arms and grenade launchers. Suffering heavy losses, the bandits over and over again continued to attack the positions of the paratroopers. Khattab himself gathered militants and unrestrainedly threw them into the battle formations of the company. However, all attempts by the bandits to seize the height were in vain. The guardsmen courageously repelled all enemy attacks.
The 6th Airborne Company was subjected to mortar fire, but this did not allow the militants to achieve success.
The militants made another attempt to knock down the brave guardsmen from the height. A massive attack on the company stronghold rushed the "Jamar" detachment of more than 400 people, led by one of the field commanders of Khattab - Bodi Bakuev, with the support of the detachments of Vakha Arsanov and Khattab. The bandits came in waves. Using the river beds and open flanks, they tried to outflank the company's position on the left flank. To prevent the encirclement, a platoon of guards Lieutenant D. Kozhemyakin advanced, which, having taken an advantageous line, within three hours repulsed the violent attacks of the militants. At the cost of their lives, the guards thwarted the plan of the bandits.
For several hours, the bandits tried to overturn the company from a height, but all their attacks were repelled.
Having not achieved success, at 01.50 on March 1, the militants ceased fire and retreated. Seeing that all their massive attacks are broken against the well-organized defense of the paratroopers and do not bring any results, the bandits decided to resort to other methods. They began to offer the guardsmen to leave the position, to let them through, to surrender. But it had no effect on the fighters. Showing restraint, composure, remaining true to military duty, each paratrooper made the only right decision for himself - to stand to the end and not let the militants through at all costs. Behind them were liberated from gangs settlements, artillery positions, command posts.
The 1st paratrooper company and a reconnaissance platoon led by the regiment’s intelligence chief, Major Baran S.I., who arrived at Mount Dembayirzy at about 23.00, on the instructions of the regiment commander, attempted to cross the Abazulgol River in the water crossing area - mark 520.0 and break through to the 6th PDR, but were stopped by heavy enemy fire. Subsequent attempts to break through to their comrades were not crowned with success. Each time the paratroopers stumbled upon the hurricane fire of the bandits. Having not achieved the desired result, the 1st PDR was forced to withdraw to Mount Dembayirzy by 04.00.
Taking advantage of a brief lull, from the mark of 787.0 to the 6th paratrooper company, an attempt was made to break through the 3rd platoon of the 4th PDR (the commander of the guard platoon, Lieutenant O. Yermakov), led by the deputy commander of the guard battalion, Major A. Dostavalov. Hiding behind one squad, which was headed by Lieutenant O. Ermakov, by 03.40 Guards Major A. Dostavalov with a group of paratroopers managed to break through to the battalion commander. During the breakthrough of the guard, Lieutenant O. Ermakov was seriously wounded in the stomach. Realizing that the wound received was fatal, the brave officer covered his comrades to the last breath, allowing the platoon to break through to the 6th paratrooper company.
During the breakthrough, Major A. Dostavalov was wounded. However, overcoming the pain, the officer remained in the ranks.
The militants, not paying attention to their losses, launched an attack on the stronghold of the company from all directions. In some areas they managed to come close to the positions of the 6th parachute company. Despite multiple leg wounds resulting from a mine explosion, artillery spotter V. Romanov continued to correct artillery fire. As the militants approached, the explosions of shells approached 50-60 meters to the front line of the defense of the paratroopers. After the death of the guard captain V. Romanov, the fire was adjusted by the guard lieutenant A. Ryazantsev, who gave the necessary coordinates to the gunners until he was hit by an enemy bullet.
The militants concentrated their main efforts on the northern direction. They managed to capture the height
Nameless, seeing that the defending detachments were noticeably thinner, the bandits rushed to a height with a mark of 776.0, but the guards senior lieutenant A. Kolgatin managed to install two MON-60 guided mines in this area. Wounded in the chest, the young officer managed to set the mines in motion as soon as the militants went on the attack. From powerful explosions more than ten militants were killed. But this is only for a short time stopped the bandits. Having come to their senses, they again went to storm the heights. To stop the approach of militants from the northern direction, the battalion commander sent a free group led by Guards Senior Lieutenant A. Panov. Accurately firing from a machine gun, a brave officer with ten paratroopers managed to repel the onslaught in his direction for another forty minutes.
The militants again pulled up a select detachment of "Jamar" in the amount of about 400 people for reinforcements. Having not achieved success in the northern direction, the bandits this time concentrated their efforts on the southern direction, which was defended by Lieutenant A. Kozhemyakin with his group of guards. Despite the multiple superiority of the enemy, the paratroopers did not flinch, but courageously repulsed the attacks of the bandits. During the battle of the guard, Lieutenant A. Kozhemyakin was mortally wounded.
The surviving small group of paratroopers, led by the battalion commander, concentrated at the top triangle. Here the 6th company was received last Stand. At 06.10, communication with the battalion commander was cut off. The last words of the Guard Lieutenant Colonel M. Yevtyukhin were: "I call fire on myself."
Bandits rushed like an avalanche on a handful of brave paratroopers. Without shooting, with cries of "Allah
Akbar!", the bandits went for a breakthrough. The battle turned into a hand-to-hand fight. But the forces were too unequal. The extremists, the elite bandits Khattabs were opposed by 26 wounded guards. But, despite the numerical superiority, the paratroopers of the Guard Lieutenant Colonel M. Evtyukhin showed stamina, courage and heroism They fulfilled their military duty to the end.
Senior Lieutenant A. Vorobyov, who survived, attempted to break out of the encirclement with two soldiers. During the battle, the brave commander was wounded in the stomach and leg.
Acting according to the laws of the airborne fraternity, the officer ordered the guards to privates R. Khristolyubov and A. Komarov to make their way to their own, while he himself remained to cover the retreat of his subordinates. Saving the lives of soldiers, the courageous officer died.
Guards Private E. Vladykin, seeing the torment of wounded comrades in conditions of extreme cold, tried to make a sortie for sleeping bags for them. However, he was captured by militants and severely beaten. Having been hit in the head with a rifle butt, he lost consciousness. Waking up from the cold, half-dressed, the paratrooper managed to return his machine gun and, together with sergeants A. Suponinsky and A. Porshnev and privates V. Timoshenko and A. Voronin, went to the location of their troops.
The bandits paid dearly for the death of paratrooper heroes. More than 400 militants died on the battlefield. Guards senior lieutenant A. Vorobyov was killed field commander Idris. And in total, as it became known from radio interception and intelligence data, three detachments of militants from the group under the command of Khattab, with a total number of up to 2,500 people, tried to break through in the direction of the 2nd battalion, but, thanks to the stamina and courage of the paratroopers, they did not break through from the Argun Gorge failed…
Officers, sergeants and soldiers - they all, as one, entered into a fight with the brutal bandits of Khattab, and did not retreat a single step, holding their position until their last breath. In a bloody battle with a twenty-fold superior enemy, the paratroopers won.
From February 29 to the morning of March 1, 2000, soldiers of the 6th company of the 104th parachute regiment of the 76th (Pskov) airborne division under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Mark Evtyukhin fought with a large illegal armed formation near Argun in Chechnya, at the Ulus line -Kert-Selmentausen, at height 776.
The battle lasted from 1 p.m. to 5 a.m. on the first of March. According to various sources, the number of militants was estimated from 1.5 to 2.5 thousand.
84 servicemen were killed in the battle, including 13 officers. Only six soldiers survived. The losses of the militants amounted, according to various estimates, from 370 to 700 people.
By decree of the President of the Russian Federation, 22 paratroopers were presented with the title of Hero of Russia (21 of them posthumously), 69 soldiers and officers of the 6th company were awarded the Order of Courage (63 of them posthumously).
