Scouts, if anyone knows, during the Second World War, often functioned as a modern special forces. Sneak a small force into enemy territory, to take "language" or blow up the headquarters of the enemy, it was for them almost an ordinary task. History remembers many feats of Soviet spies, one of those "incredible." One such feat, I would like to recall today.
name or description of Viktor Leonov - the commander of the Northern Fleet reconnaissance detachment from his party in the amount of 140 soldiers managed to capture five thousand. Japanese soldiers with their commanders. Below - the fragments of his memory of this feat.
Viktor Leonov - a Soviet sailor, twice Hero of the Soviet Union, the commander of the reconnaissance detachment of the Northern Fleet. On July 18, 1941 had about 50 combat operations behind enemy lines.
Scouts have always been in the minority, but because of the strong spirit, not just defeated vastly superior enemy forces. Here's what he said about himself Leonov: "Our squad, acting behind enemy lines, always inferior to him in size, in technical equipment, but we have always won in the melee. Neither the Germans nor the Japanese have never acted so decisively as we ... psychological law is that - in a fight two opponents one necessarily surrender. In close combat, we must first look to chain him your - solid and powerful ... »
The most "high-profile" business unit Leonov took place in the late summer of 1945 in the Korean port of Wonsan, where Soviet soldiers captured a large military base and the Japanese captured about 5,000 Japanese soldiers and officers.
Recall that from 1905 to 1945 Korea existed as an independent state, and was Japan's colonial possessions. Summer of 1945, the Korean peninsula was occupied by Soviet and US troops who during bloody fighting displacing the Japanese. The Treaty establishing a single country of the USSR and the US it could not, and in 1948 was created by the two governments - in the north of the DPRK and South Korea - in the south.
Wonsan, which landed a detachment Leonov - a major port city and naval base in the north-east of the Korean Peninsula. Soviet intelligence agents were able to seize the port without firing a shot, and prevent more loss of life ... His second star of the Hero of Leonov was precisely for this operation.
Here's how he describes the actions Leonov detachment of marines, which he commanded:
"There were a hundred and forty soldiers, - says Leonov, - We are suddenly the enemy landed on the Japanese airfield and entered into negotiations. After that, we, the representatives of ten, were taken to the headquarters of the colonel, the commander of the aircraft, who wanted to make of us hostage.
title or description I joined the conversation when the felt is with us representatives of the command of Captain 3rd Rank Kulebyakina, they say, pushed to the wall ... Looking into the eyes of the Japanese, I said that we provoevali war in the west and have enough experience to assess the situation that we are not hostages, but rather die, but die with all who are on the staff. The difference is, I said that you will die like rats, and we will try to get out of here ...
Hero of the Soviet Union Mitya Sokolov immediately stood behind the Japanese colonel and the others knew their business. Andrew Wheat locked the door, put the key in his pocket and sat on a chair, and Vladimir Olyashev hero (after the war - Honored Master of Sports, repeated champion of the Union of cross-country skiing), Andrew raised his chair and placed directly in front of the Japanese commander. Ivan Guznenkov went to the window and reported that we are low, and Hero of the Soviet Union Semyon Agafonov, standing at the door, and began to throw anti-tank grenade. The Japanese, however, did not know what a fuse in it. Colonel, forgetting about the scarf, began to wipe the sweat from his forehead hand and some time later signed the act of surrender of the entire garrison.
Built three and a half thousand prisoners in a column of eight people. All my teams they played already running. Escorted a convoy we had no one, then the commander and chief of staff, I sat with him in the car.
- If at least one - I say - run away - blame yourself ...
While lead column, it was already up to five thousand Japanese ... »
