As a result of these impudent raids, our ground units immediately took three fortified settlements after bombing - Bezlyudovka 20 km south of Kharkov, Lobovka and Mishurin Rog on the right bank of the Dnieper River.

Evsyukov is a master of conducting defensive air battles with enemy fighters and suppressing anti -aircraft points. An excellent organizer of the navigator and bomber training. During the period of participation on various fronts of the Patriotic War, there were no cases of orientation and bombing in their troops. It has 10 departures for reconnaissance of enemy troops.In one of the sorties, he discovered a great concentration of enemy tanks in the Belgorod area, prepared for the breakthrough of our defense line.

The commander of the 66 assault aviation regiment Major Kruglov January 31 of the year. From the book of I. Drachenko on the wings of courage. For some reason, I represented the Komsk with a powerful guy, a slanting fathom in his shoulders, with a pipe voice. It turned out the other way around: Evsyukov was thin, but the living room, leisurely for a word. Behind this deceptive appearance, a mass of energy, character hardness, sober calculation, and the ability to quickly, rationally navigate in the most unfavorable environment were hidden.

We were included in the combat calculation.

The youth gathered the squadron commander. Set on the lawn. He says calmly, as if he was teaching a lesson, occasionally smoothes flaxen hair. Structure is a holy place. No amateur performances. Visiting and once again. Consider the Kursk magnetic anomaly, deviation acts on the compass. The arrow is spinning like a squirrel in a wheel. Therefore, the main thing is ground -based landmarks and a map.

We will work like this: first, we will treat the Germans with bombs, then we will cover the ereas fire, and then hit the guns and machine guns. Open the fire on my command. Having received the task at the headquarters, we run to cars where the mechanics drop the last camouflage branches. I get into the car. It is cool in it. Leaning back, I focus on the details of the upcoming flight.

Tomic minutes of waiting. A splash of a green rocket! The charms of a fresh morning did not happen: everything disappeared, drowning in the chaos of sounds and a dusty panel from the whistle of the screws. I take off, gently separated from the ground. Having gained height, I take a place in the ranks. A little ahead - the leading group senior lieutenant N.

Evsyukov with the best air shooter of the regiment I. Direction - Belgorod. Below there is a steppe covered with the overwhelming of young oak and hazel, sandy bald patches on the slopes of the beams whiten, and the rows of huts under straw run to the hillocks. Tanks, cars, horse -drawn teams move along the loops of roads in different directions. After a quarter of an hour, we approach the front line.

On my map, it is indicated in red and blue. The broken, multi -line distance of the enemy’s positions, sprayed pink blots from fires, turns of smoke crawling from the hollows are already clearly visible. The goal is soon! On Earth, as we expected, enemy anti -aircraft guns were worried. Their routes were weaved at the course of such a color picture of deadly threads that it seemed that nothing living was able to slip through this light jerk.

The ruptures of anti -aircraft shells either on the left or on the right struck the sky, the air around was boiling, boiled, the car dangled like a chip on a steep wave. A caustic sour smell of TNT smelled in the window. We quickly change the course, maneuver in order to prevent the anti -aircraft gunners with aimed fire. Behind the host we gain height.

Incidentally, the fighters of Captain C. Closure S. was a little higher from our two sixes “Ilov” in the helmophone, the Evsyukov team was heard: “Attack! The scissors of the tracks of the Earlikons” of low -caliber anti -aircraft artillery crossed right by the ground. Nerves are like a string. Between the shoulder blades, the balls were rolled up on the lips.
