Heroes and feats

Denisenko Ilya Nikitovich_x000D_ _x000D_ Ilya Nikitovich Denisenko was born in 1900 in a family with four other brothers. When the First world war began, his brothers went to the front. Two of them died, and two returned to their native Siberian village and died some time later. Ilya Nikitovich, the youngest of all the brothers, was almost mobilized in February 1919. But fate decreed otherwise. He, along with recruits led by Danil Opanovich, a resident of a neighboring village, met the Kolchak soldiers in battle. Word of the partisans quickly spread through the villages. The squad grew rapidly. By spring, it had already numbered 200 people's Avengers. A year later, they joined forces with shchetinkin's partisan detachment, which operated near Krasnoyarsk. Ilya Denisenko met the end of the war in Vladivostok. Ilya N. has not joined the Komsomol. During the partisan struggle, the defeat of Kolchak, the expulsion of the Japanese interventionists, there was no time to think about it, and then the age was not the same. But he was in the ranks of the Bolsheviks from the age of eighteen. In 1938, Ilya Nikitovich graduated from a military school, then was demobilized, and then returned to his native village. After the creation of the collective farm, he was elected Chairman. On August 16, 1941, he went to the front. He was a platoon commander. First he commanded a platoon of bombers, and then a group of flamethrowers. Ilya Nikitovich took part in the battles on the Leningrad front for the liberation of the cities of Pskov, Luga and Tikhvin, for which he was awarded three medals: "For the defense of Leningrad", "for military merit","for bravery". He was wounded twice. Due to a severe concussion that he received during the liberation of Pskov in January 1944, he went home. For eight years he worked as the head of a dairy farm in the village of Pchelniki. For this work, he was awarded the order of the Badge of honor. When Ilya Nikitovich was 68 years old, he headed the Central farm of the Pobeda collective farm. Ilya Nikitovich had to go through a lot during his difficult life, but he never gave up. He performed his civic duty with dignity, for which he deserves honor and respect.

Dudnik Ivan Kuzmich_x000D_ _x000D_ He graduated with honors from the Omsk combined arms school named after M. V. Frunze (class of 1939) and was invited to the command and teaching staff of the school. In January 1941, he was transferred to the command and teaching staff of the Kuibyshev (now Samara) military infantry school No. 1. In August 1941 (according to other sources – in September) on the basis of the Kuibyshev parachute school trained paratroopers. He had a parachute badge "parachutist Instructor". Ivan Dudnik was a battalion commander of the 332nd Guards rifle regiment of the 104th guards rifle order of Kutuzov II class of the 9th guards army division in the 3rd Ukrainian front under the command of Marshal F. I. Tolbukhin. As part of this regiment, Ivan Dudnik participated in the heaviest battles for the liberation of Hungary (crossing the Raba river, Balaton operation), Austria (storming Vienna) and Czechoslovakia (Prague operation). In the fierce battles for the liberation of Vienna, when crossing the river Traisen, such a story happened. The fascists took up a defensive position at the height and fired at the crossing from all sides. Our men were in great danger - the enemy's self-propelled guns were firing incessantly. The Germans intended to take the height to the left of the already occupied line, but Ivan Dudnik and his men did not allow this to happen. As a battalion commander, he never hid behind the backs of his men. With a group of twenty men, he penetrated to the left flank to draw fire from the main forces of his battalion. The group managed to reach the enemy's left flank unnoticed, using camouflage, and open fire. The Germans did not expect this and were stunned - they were forced to retreat. The self-propelled guns turned back. This made it possible for the main forces of the battalion to Ford the river Traizen and quickly maneuver to reach the borders of the Nazis. For competent, according to the laws of military science, organized actions and victories in offensive battles with the invaders, Ivan Dudnik was presented to the Order of Alexander Nevsky. Crossing the Raba river. Report of the commander of the battalion 332 guards rifle regiment 104 guards rifle order of Kutuzov II degree division 3 of the Ukrainian front Dudnik Ivan Kuzmich (transcript of the manuscript). After breaking through the Shered defensive line, German troops, under the cover of strong rearguards consisting of infantry, machine-gun and machine-gun units, and mainly self-propelled artillery, supported by heavy artillery and heavy mortars, retreated to a pre-prepared defensive line on the Raba river. The defense on the Raba river was well organized and took place mainly on the opposite Bank. On our shore, only small groups of infantry defended themselves, which were combat guards consisting of shooters, machine gunners, machine gunners and snipers. The defensive line on the opposite Bank of the Raba river consisted of three or four lines of solid trenches connected by a well-developed system of communication passages. Of great interest is the construction of trenches with their large depth of up to two to two and a half meters and their improvement. All the trenches were covered with poles and brushwood and adapted for defense. Especially strongly developed was the system of trenches and communication passages on the river Bank, near roads and on the edge of groves. The men of the first rifle battalion who captured these trenches said: "you can't knock a Russian soldier out of these trenches." The terrain of our coast was flat and open. Only on our side there was a dense shrub and young forest growth are rare. The forest and brush made it difficult to observe and direct fire. Twenty or seventy meters from the river on our Bank was an earthen rampart, protecting from spring floods of the river, which was the only shelter from direct fire. The area on the opposite Bank was teeming with shrubs, which, as they moved away from the river, became a large oak forest extending almost close to the settlements of Edwe and Pali. The width of the river reached a hundred meters, there were no fords, the depth of the river six or seven meters from the shore already hid a person. We considered the speed of the river flow on our site to be average. The defense of the opposite (German) Bank of the river was with a well-organized system of weapons-machine-gun, automatic and sniper fire. Every movement of even single fighters on our shore caused a mass of this fire, and insignificant clusters of fighters, signs of observation and command posts were immediately subjected to fire raids by artillery, which already had accurate data for firing. The defense was well reinforced with anti-tank and especially self-propelled artillery. The nomadic tactics of self-propelled guns allowed each self-propelled gun to maneuver fire well. The battalions of the regiment, pursuing the enemy, immediately shot down the German combat guard, captured the river Bank, and the first battalion managed to capture one boat with a capacity of eight or nine people, which, apparently, was being transported by the German combat guard and which they did not have time to destroy. Units of the regiment went to the river Bank, exhausted by insomnia and abnormal nutrition. In the heavy fighting for the village of Shered, where the units suffered significant losses, exhausted by the non-stop eight-day pursuit of the retreating Germans, the soldiers abandoned all equipment except weapons and ammunition. Almost no one has any raincoats or overcoats left. There were no improvised means of transport that could be used for the crossing. There were two stacks of straw, which also one, without linking means, could not be used. In this situation, the units had to fulfill the command order to start crossing the river at 22: 00 hours on March 27, 1945. The first to cross the river was the 1st rifle battalion. The battalion's task was to force and capture the bridgehead, and ensure the regiment's crossing. The battalion was assigned: a platoon of 57 anti-tank guns and a platoon of submachine gunners. Supported the 1/567 MP7 battalion. Before the crossing, only surveillance reconnaissance was conducted. An attempt to explore the opposite Bank in small groups did not give positive results, since no scout managed to reach the opposite Bank. Time did not wait. The desire for relentless pursuit in order to prevent the enemy from gaining a foothold and organizing required urgent forcing. At midnight, the first boat with one machine gun and submachine guns from the 1st rifle company, which was commanded by guard Lieutenant Pavel Sergeevich Yershov, went to the opposite Bank. The same company, by the decision of the battalion commander, was to cross the river first. The first trip of the boat included: one machine gun with calculation and three submachine gunners. Senior group commander of the machine gun guards senior Sergeant Rogov; guards Sergeant Kovalev, guards red army Kondratovich, guards red army Menukhov and machine gunners. This group, as well as the second group of the guards of Junior Lieutenant Konstantin Petrov, as part of the red army guards mursalimov, Solomatin, Tsurkanov and snipers Vasiliev and Papenkov crossed secretly from German observation. The third group, under the command of the guard Lieutenant Kuzin Peter, consisted of six men with a machine gun and ammunition reserves for machine guns and one light machine gun. So secretly and suddenly for the enemy, five boats were ferried ashore. The Germans, apparently, did not expect the crossing that night. They probably thought that we would do a lot of preparatory work, build rafts, prepare a ferry, and so on. But as a result of the stealth and surprise of the crossing, we managed to smuggle two heavy machine guns, four light machine guns, a group of submachine gunners and Riflemen numbering up to forty people unnoticed by the enemy. Thus, on the opposite Bank, unnoticed by the enemy, the entire 1st rifle company was concentrated. Having accumulated at the cliff of the opposite Bank of the river, this group suddenly threw grenades at the first German trench and shot at point-blank range the German infantry. Bursting into the trench, the soldiers quickly began to clear it of the Germans. Great courage, bravery, courage and selflessness were shown by: guards senior Sergeant Rogov, guards Junior Lieutenant Petrov, guards lieutenants Kuzin and Yershov, guards Sergeant Kovalev, guards red army soldiers Vasiliev, Papenkov, Salamatin, Tsurkanov and many others. The actions of the Riflemen and submachine gunners were well supported by the calculations of machine guns and light machine guns, which operated directly in the battle formations of the Riflemen. The Germans figured out the actual crossing only when one after another hand grenades and a mass of bullets from our Bank, the firepower that provided the crossing, fell on their heads. The crossing was provided by all hand and machine guns of the 2nd and 3rd companies,as well as machine guns of the machine-gun company. The signal to open fire for the firepower providing the crossing was the opening of fire by the Germans. In case of failure of the 1st rifle company, a part of the machine guns of the 3rd rifle battalion was ready to support its actions. The 1st rifle company operating in the first trench was supported by 1/567 MP, which suppressed the enemy's firepower in the second trench, and the battalion's mortar company, which covered the right flank of the 1st rifle company from the settlement. The opening of fire by the mortar division and the mortar company was timed to coincide with the RAID on the first trench. Thus, the first trench was partially captured by our infantry for a short distance and then cleared, the second in our direction was suppressed by fire. The third trench with small arms fire in the night shooting did not pose much danger. The first flank of the 1st rifle company operating in the trench was covered by the fire of a mortar company. The left flank was dangerous, and the 346th guards rifle regiment, which even used RS8 guards mortars, was actively engaged at a short distance. This forced the Germans to focus on the direction of the 346th guards rifle regiment, where the Germans were waiting for our crossing to begin.

Dunze Michael Fedorovich_x000D_ _x000D_ Mikhail Fyodorovich Dunze was born on 30.10.1921 in the village of Vyritsa, Gatchina district, Leningrad region.

Dmitrieva Raisa Grigorievna_x000D_ _x000D_ Dmitrieva( Kovrigina) Raisa Grigoryevna was born in the Stalingrad region in the village of Aksay, Oktyabrsky district. She recalled " in April 1942, the girls of Stalingrad were mobilized, including me... on may 14, 1942, they took the military oath and began to serve in combat. I didn't know then that I would have to defend my hometown." At the same time, the girls were trained in military specialties, and Raisa Grigoryevna became an artillery scout - observer. "I recall an episode when our anti-aircraft battery had to engage in battle with superior enemy forces: on August 24, 1942, the Nazis came close to the city. The situation was critical, continuous German air raids began, bombed several times a day, fired from mortars...five bombs hit the battery directly.. Everything around was engulfed in flames and smoke, it seemed that no one and nothing could survive in this hell. My comrades were dying before my eyes. The battle that day lasted until sunset... Our battery shot down 24 enemy aircraft." Once the enemy detected the battery's radio station when Raisa Grigoryevna was reporting data about enemy aircraft in the air.

Druchin Anisim Gavrilovich_x000D_ _x000D_ At an early age, Anisim Gavrilovich was orphaned, and for a long time lived and was brought up by his older brothers and sisters. Later, he graduated from railway courses and became an instructor of the political Department of the Chisinau railway in the city of Balti. He was accepted into the Communist party of the Soviet Union. Anisim Gavrilovich belonged to the commanding officers of the red army, with the position of political officer of the company. In June 1941, their hometown of Balti was attacked by enemy planes. It was decided to evacuate residents. Anisim Gavrilovich put his family (wife, daughter and son) in the train and they went towards Stalingrad, and he remained in the militia to protect his native city. At that time, Anisim Gavrilovich was the Deputy head of the Balti railway station for political Affairs.

Dadashov Jacob Bentsionovich_x000D_ _x000D_ Jacob bentsionovich Dadashov was born on 11 July 1922 in the city of Derbent. On June 21, 1941, he and his classmates were awarded their school graduation certificates. Happy graduates, inspired with hopes for a bright future, met the dawn on the shore of the Caspian sea.... But with the dawn of June 22, the threatening black clouds of war were moving over the country. The very next day, Yakov and his classmates were at the recruitment center of the Derbent District Commissariat. Full of a sincere desire to protect their families and country, they asked to send them immediately to the front as volunteers. But most of yesterday's graduates had to go through army training first. Yakov was also in this group. He was drafted into the red Army and sent to study at the higher artillery school in Tbilisi, after which in may 1942 he began his long military journey along the roads of war. Extract from the personal file of Lieutenant ya. b. Dadashev, commander of the fire platoon of the 687th artillery regiment, 236th rifle Dnepropetrovsk red banner order of Suvorov division: 01.05.1942-11.09.1943-Transcaucasian front. 11.09.1943-13.11.1943-treatment in hospital No. 1710. 13.11.1943 – 21.02.1944 – 3-th Ukrainian Front. 21.02.1944-19.03.1944-treatment in the infirmary. 19.03. 1944 – 30.01.1945 – 3-y Ukrainian front. 30.01.1945-seriously wounded, left for treatment in a hospital in Yugoslavia. In the photo taken in may 1945 in Budapest, on the chest of officer Yakov Dadashev, on the right side – two orders: the order of the Patriotic war and the Order of the red Star, and on the left – two medals: "for bravery" and "for the liberation of Belgrade". Each of these awards could have cost him his life. From premium sheet: Dadashev B. Ya. awarded the medal "for bravery" 14.10.43 for the following feat: "During the fighting at s. Taranovka Taranovsky district of Kharkiv region from 6 to 12.09.43 proved to be a persistent and responsible officer. A platoon under his command, reflecting the enemy's counterattacks, knocked out an enemy tank of the T - IV type. 16.09.43 in a battle near the village of lozovoe, Kegichevsky district, Kharkiv region, tov. Dadashev was wounded, but did not leave the battlefield until the combat mission was completed. For steadfastness and skilful command of a platoon in battles with the German-fascist invaders, Lieutenant Dadashev is presented to the government award." Order of the Patriotic war I degree awarded in February 1945. From the application for the award: "in the battles with the German-fascist invaders on 30.01.45 in the area of the village of Adand (Hungary-approx. 2) on the Northern Bank of the Yelusha canal, the enemy launched a counteroffensive, throwing up to 30 armored units at the battery. Leading the battle with a numerically superior enemy, Lieutenant Dadashev was at the direct-fire gun. A personal example of bravery, despising death, he opened fire on tanks. Enemy tanks began to withdraw, firing heavily, surrounding the battery. Having got into difficult conditions, Lieutenant Dadashev encouraged his subordinates with his courage and, despite being seriously wounded, continued to command without leaving the battlefield. The guns of his platoon hit 3 tanks and 2 armored personnel carriers." And again, after treatment at the hospital Jacob bentsionovich insisted on returning to his unit. He did not want, but simply could not, this brave Lieutenant to leave his comrades alone, without his reliable commander and friendly shoulder next to them, risking their lives in battles with the enemy. And there was another Order of the red Star, which Jacob bentsionovich was awarded for the successful execution of command assignments behind enemy lines. And there was the medal "for the liberation of Belgrade". And it was the long-awaited Victory Day – the "joy with tears in your eyes"! This great day he met in a small town in the vicinity of Vienna, through which lay his way from another hospital to his military unit. On the eighth of may, at about eleven o'clock in the evening, the local military commandant's office sent him and another officer to spend the night with a local German woman. We got there and went to bed after midnight. No sooner had they fallen asleep than they heard the numerous sounds of gunfire from the street. The first thing that came to mind – "really fascists"? Hastily dressed, they ran out into the street ready to resist the enemy. But they were their own-our soldiers fired into the air and shouts of "Victory" along with automatic bursts exploded and deafened the night silence.... It was an unspeakable surge of joy and all sorts of emotions! The war was over-there were peaceful days ahead. In November 1948, Yakov married a nice girl from Buinaksk, Babaeva Rebekah. Together they raised three daughters. And the great Victory Day was celebrated in the family of Yakov and Rebekah with special attention and joy, in the family circle-children, grandchildren ,great-grandchildren, relatives. In their family album there is a wonderful photo of Yakov in a military uniform, which is already 75 years old! In may 1945, returning home on the roads of Europe, a young officer decided to take a photo for memory. It was in Budapest. The photographer could not immediately produce a photo, and Yakov Bencionovich could not wait for it – he was not yet demobilized and had to follow the instructions of the command. He left his home address to the photographer. And imagine, a few months later, in Derbent, to the address of his home, Kandelaki street, 8, came this photo! You can tell a lot about Yakov's work biography in bright colors! In all the places and posts where he exerted his strength and skill, he was respected and highly valued! And it is not for nothing that Yakov bencionovich ended his working career, having worked for 16 years as the Chairman of the Voluntary Fire Society of Dagestan. Yakov benzionovich throughout his life has earned deep respect not only from relatives and friends, but also from everyone with whom he had to communicate on the long path of life! His life can not be called boring-in addition to the military military, family and labor trends of his fate, he had and still has many Hobbies! The main one is chess battles. There was a time when he won a lot of victories not only in games with friends, but also participating in chess Championships. From a letter from the writer Mikhail Dadashev to Yakov Dadashev: "I must admit that your unexpected call from far away America (Yakov benzionovich now lives in the United States) brought me such joy that it is simply impossible to convey. Thank you very much for being alive and well, for the joy of all of us - your relatives. This call evoked a flood of memories in me: we are at the chessboard in Izberga, at the championship between Derbent and Izberbash...". In this family branch of the mighty ancient family tree of the Dadashevs, there were still participants in this great war, those who "brought victory as close As they could"! Yaakov's father, Benzion Dadashev Rubinovich, went to war against the Nazi enemy in July 1941. He was no longer young, but for some time participated in heavy fighting as a Rifleman of the 131st separate rifle battalion. Then, as a medic, he carried the soldiers out of the battlefield, giving them first aid. In addition, Ben Tzion Rubinovich, in the days of war had to work on a military field kitchen. He was discharged only on January 13, 1946. Mother of Jacob, Avgol, during the war almost all the time worked in the hospital as a nurse that has been deployed in Derbent. Before the war, she was in charge of the health center of a garment factory. Sometimes she would run home only to bring food rations to the younger children, daughter rose and sons, Hanukh and Ruvin. Yakov's older brother, Emmanuel benzionovich, was drafted into the Red Army in 1940 and served most of the great Patriotic War in the far East. There was some important fortified area against the Japanese militarists. For a time, he studied (and then taught) at the military infantry school. In 1943, while already in the European part of the theater of operations as a commander of a small machine-gun squad, Emmanuel benzionovich was wounded. After the hospital, with the rank of senior Sergeant, he served in a training rifle regiment, and then as the head of the food echelon that supplied our combat units in Yugoslavia and Hungary. Emmanuel bencionovich was demobilized at the end of September 1945.

Dremova Alexandra Stepanovna_x000D_ _x000D_ My great-grandmother Alexandra Pavlenko was born on June 7, 1923 in the village of Rodniki . In 1942, Granny, who was well-versed in reading and writing, was called up for military service at the age of less than 19. She was assigned to an aviation squadron, and with a beautiful handwriting was appointed senior clerk. But it wasn't just the paperwork part that she had to deal with.
