28 Panfilov [HD 4K] | Official Trailer | 2016
Let's try to look at least superficially to who such Panfilov that occurred under Dubosekovo.
Division was formed, which received number 316 in Almaty after the war began. Formed over the last month from its Russian and Kazakh in bulk does not pass even the military service. That is, in fact - of the recruits who did not have any combat experience or military training.
Upon completion of the formation of the division was transferred by rail under Novgorod, at the very tense at the moment of the North-West direction. But a month later, in connection with the Germans launched an offensive on Moscow ( "Typhoon" operation), 316 th Division was transferred to the central direction. October 5 transfer began, on 12 October the division was unloaded near Volokolamsk, where he started to prepare his defense line within the Mozhaisk defense line. The total length of this line, from the farm to the village Bolychevo lions, was 41 km.
Here it is necessary to digress. For tactical instructions and taken to the Red Army in the 1940 war views, Infantry Division was to get the defense on the direction of the enemy's main attack strip 6-8 km, and in the secondary direction - 10-12 km. 316th Division, untried, from new recruits, not having a full list of representatives, got a strip of 41 km. And it is - at the direction of the main attack. That is, the division of the front length in 5 (!) Times higher than the regulatory and per kilometer front was 5 times fewer soldiers and weapons than was necessary to create a strong enough defense.
Lack of tools in the most "Panfilov" division (54 guns), on the one hand, with more than cover attaches artillery units gain (more 141 cannon). But, on the other hand, this enhancement greatly devalues the lack of ammunition. That is the whole defense, although very well-organized, was very "liquid", which has at times less than normal, the density of troops and weapons.
The German troops, developing the initial success, took to the Mozhaisk defense line to 15 October. In the Volokolamsk district attacked a compound of the 5th Army and the 46th Motorized Corps. Against the 316th Division were the German 2nd and 11th Panzer and 35th Infantry Division. All compounds were well armed and had a great combat experience. The Germans counted on easily, with the move to bring down from his Panfilov abroad.
(Battle of Moscow)
6 October 2nd Panzer Division unsuccessfully attacked the left flank of the "Panfilov" division - regiment position in 1075. German attacks were repulsed. October 17 blow was struck has a large force. In the course of several attacks the Germans managed to move just a kilometer Panfilov defense withstood. October 18 the Germans even more to strengthen the attack group and forced the 1075 th Regiment to sail. But the heroic resistance of the artillery units the Germans were stopped and were able to reach only Ruza.
Total: three days of fierce fighting, having a great numerical and fire superiority and relying on complete air superiority, the Germans managed to advance only a few kilometers. Panfilov division resisted.
Having failed on the left flank division, the Germans attacked on the right, on a shelf in 1077, repeating the assault on the left flank. The Germans once again managed to move a little bit longer on both flanks. But again failed to overturn the 316-th division. Despite heavy losses, the acute shortage of ammunition for multiple superiority of the enemy, Panfilov continued to hold the front. Volokolamsk was left them only at the end of October, when the Germans broke through in other areas, and there was a threat to the environment division.
What happened to Dubosekovo? The Germans, leading rapidly (on the plans) attack on Moscow, managed to move half a month of fighting on the Volokolamsk direction less than twenty kilometers. And they rose up, pulling up reinforcements and rear. November 2 the front line stabilized.
Was this feat?
Yes, it was a miracle at all.
When stretched thin line recruits division, which was not enough ammunition for a long time stopped at times surpassing the most experienced foe. And those new recruits who, under the terrible pressure of pulling back in one day, firmly held the position to the next.
... November 16 began the next phase of the German offensive. At the same time the German blow was the counter.
From Stalin's conversation with Zhukov of 10 November: "We believe Shaposhnikov, you need to hit the enemy preparing to disrupt their counterattacks proactive. One need to strike a counterblow bypassing Volokolamsk from the north ... In area of Volokolamsk use right-flank connection Rokosovsky army armored division and the cavalry, which is located in the Wedge. "
November 15th Panzer Cavalry group struck the north point of the 316th Division. Beat inexperienced and small portions though and had initial success, the development has not received. on November 16 in support of advancing the neighbors had to strike 316th Division. And she was getting ready to attack. But she was on the edge of the German shock.
At the moment of impact of the German neighbors Panfilov division they were already in dire straits, and the very division going to attack, was hit at least three times superior enemy forces. 4th Wehrmacht Panzer Group was torn to Moscow.
The idea is that when these introductory 316th Division was to be swept away immediately. In our division we hit three German. Positions 1075 Regiment stretched from the exit of Volokolamsk to the junction Dubosekovo. That is, one is not fully stocked regiment accounted front more than put on the defensive in the full-fledged division. In the area of Novo-Nikolskoye (now - Big Nikolskoye) - Dubosekovo, that is at the front of 4 km, the defense held the 2nd Battalion 1075th Regiment. Actually at Dubosekovo-Petelino defense held the 4th Company of the 2nd Battalion of the regiment in 1075, the one in which the political instructor was legendary pieces. That is a company, a part of which was less than a hundred soldiers, had more than a kilometer in front of an open field.
In 1075 positions Regiment attacked 11 TD. At the same time the main blow fell on the 2nd Battalion. At this density of Defence, with such a difference in forces, it is impossible to hold the front with a head impact. But Panfilov division held. Keep a long time, it can not be long hours and the 2nd Battalion. The first blow of the Germans recaptured. The second blow crushed the German Panzer Battalion. But part of the waste with fights, with terrible losses, but delaying the enemy. In the 4th company of 20-25 people left. That is, roughly one out of every six. Germans from 16 to 20 November, for 5 days of fighting were able to move only to Chism, that is 12 km away.
It was during these battles the division was awarded and became a role model. November 17 it was awarded the Order of the Red Banner, November 18, was given the title of Guards.
Whether these were heroic battles? Were feat Panfilov?
Well, what else? What is more, you can come up with the name?
And now about the "yeah, but it was not 28, the journalist gave other details." Well, in reality, a feat never strictly does not coincide with newspaper descriptions in hot pursuit. Newspaper descriptions - this is not a report of the Commission staff.
The feat of the Panfilov - was.
Feat of individual companies - was.
A journalist from the front (from the front, not from the computer screen in a comfortable office in the midst of fierce battle, not between a cup of coffee!) The names listed inaccurately - what if not a secret, has a value in the assessment of achievement?
One way or another - in our history forever imprinted the figure "28".
And the science of history is powerless here, not to mention the arithmetic and statistics.
The fact that the Spartans at Thermopylae was not exactly 300, something that stayed with them and Phocians, that the forces of the Persians Greeks exaggerated - is somehow cancels feat of people who died for the freedom of his country and his death had detained many times superior enemy?
The feat of the Panfilov - more than a feat of ancient heroes. He's big, because it made the recruits against experienced opponents, and not recognized as the best warriors of their time. And these recruits fought day after day, for months, becoming in a short time, veterans, and then the guard.
And we have not been given to know all the details of this feat, the feat of each company. And when there is no way of knowing all the facts - it is still a legend.
But the legend - a true, for he says the real feat of real people.
Because German tanks nobody invented. And in the capital of our country they have not seen - including the fact that they met Uninvented Panfilov.
I personally want to make the film was shot on Panfilov. And so it was a movie about the heroes whose glory is immortal. It does not matter about how many characters will be spoken in the film. It is important not to forget - the heroic was the whole division. And this division was not only in the Red Army.
And these heroes who died for the freedom of our country and our people, saved her.
