Golubev Innokenty Ivanovich

Innokenty Ivanovich Golubev was born in 1912, in Blagoveshchensk. Participant of the great Patriotic war of 1941-1945. During the breakout of the Narva Bay coast defense, the fascist command was convinced that it would not allow the Soviet landing, and if any forces could land, they would inevitably be thrown into the sea. Now we know that the crews of the ships and the landing battalion of submachine gunners fought a fierce battle with the enemy at Merikul for landing and finally won. The commander of a platoon of submachine gunners of the 3rd company, Lieutenant Innokenty Ivanovich Golubev rushed to the artillery position located on the top of the slope to ensure the landing of the remaining paratroopers. The paratroopers climbed the slope and, without hesitation, rushed to attack the battery. This is how the episode was described in the Nazi newspaper ""Rindelecht"" on February 26, 1944: ""The enemy is discouraged by our battery and decides to attack it with a frontal attack to protect their bridgehead. About a hundred men are attacking the battery, the other three hundred are trying to expand the bridgehead to the South. It's an audacious idea to attack the battery from the front. The enemy focuses on the edge of the valley in a chain, the enemy grenade launcher begins to fire at the battery. With loud Cheers, a chain of Bolsheviks appears within sight... it is Not surprising that a platoon of courageous paratroopers in the eyes of the Nazis turned into a larger unit. However, recognizing both the desperate courage of the paratroopers and the audacity with which they went to the battery and forced it to transfer fire to themselves, the author did not say that the paratroopers achieved their main goal. Boris Konstantinovich Pineyev, a participant of that unprecedented attack, says that Golubev's platoon managed to stop the enemy battery for half an hour. Breaking into the location of the Nazis, the machine gunners drove them away from the guns. Many of the Nazi artillerymen found their death on their own battery. Officer Golubev was also killed in this battle. He led the soldiers to storm the battery. His soldiers saved their comrades who were landing on the merekul coast. He wrote to his sister, Golubeva Anna Ivanovna with conviction that he looked with hope at the stars of the Kremlin, waiting for the salvation of the world. He had done all he could to make that hope come true."
