Rank: Senior Lieutenant in this battle, the 87th tank regiment inflicted serious damage on the enemy. On April 2, near the village of Glushin, the second tank company of senior Lieutenant N. D. Baukov engaged a group of tanks and heavy self-propelled guns. The battle lasted two days and ended with the victory of the Soviet tankers. They continued to fire, not even leaving the damaged vehicles. This is how Baukov's crew acted. Nikolay Danilovich calmly and firmly led the fight, joking, instilling courage in people. Before the war, Nikolay Baukov was an avid football player, playing in the attack. When the shells sent by him or his comrades hit the target, the Lieutenant excitedly shouted into the headset: "Goal!" Repulsing the onslaught of the enemy, the unit went on the attack, captured the village of Glushin and re-entered the Brody-Lviv highway. After another battle, Bayukov's company had eight tanks left. The enemy managed to cut it off from our main forces. It was impossible to get back – the way was blocked by "tigers"and " ferdinands". The senior Lieutenant made a bold decision: to go forward, along the rear of the Nazis, to meet other corps formations advancing from the Southeast. I had to walk 20 kilometers. 4 more tanks were lost, the rest went to the location of our troops.At the height were the radio operators of the control company-foreman I. A. Korolev and the party Sergeant V. E. Parshuta, the radio operator-loader of the Baukov crew, Sergeant S. V. Solodovnik. They provided stable two-way radio communication. After passing 60 kilometers already in the rear of their troops, along the front line, the company joined the regiment. Nikolay Bayukov came to the commander of the regiment, barely able to stand on his feet from fatigue. He finished his report to Lieutenant Colonel Ivantsov about the company's actions with a favorite joke: - Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, we scored the right goals for them! "Goals" were really what you need – one "Ferdinand", 6 six-barrelled mortars, 2 anti-tank guns, 14 vehicles with cargo and more than 200 Nazis. At that time, the cavalry failed to close the encirclement ring around the enemy group in Brody. However, in July, our troops surrounded a large enemy group southwest of the city of Brody. As part of the troops that closed the encirclement ring around the enemy's Brodovsky group, Nikolay Baukov's tank company also had the honor to be.
