Biography of jokes

Among many rather traditional and familiar questions, one thing stood out: “Which of the heroes of World War II could show you all apparently the journalists wanted to hear the name of someone famous, but the commandant was not so simple. Being an educated person, he, like the legendary Che Guevara, had a huge passion for books. Once Alexander Bek’s story“ Volokolamsk Shosse ”about the feat of the 8th Guards Panfilovskaya One of the main characters of the book is now a little-known Soviet officer of Kazakhstan Baurzhan Mumsh-Ula, and he called him the hero of the heroes?

Alma-Ata found him in the fall of the year, he asked for a volunteer, just at that time, a rifle division was formed in the city, already at the stage of creation, it was assumed that this unit will be one of the most combat-ready-they sent adults who had an idea of ​​the war, they were all volunteers.

In the unit of Mumsh-uly, the battalion commander was appointed. The first appointment of the division threatened to become the last - the military unit was sent to defend the approaches to Moscow. The command understood that the advancing parts of the Wehrmacht was simply sweeping out, but it was necessary to hold the capital before the approach of the Far Eastern armies. The case was complicated by the fact that the Soviet command literally forbade the study of defensive concepts in the army, it was assumed that the Red Army should defeat offensive operations on foreign land.

For a different point of view, one could lose your position. But Ivan Vasilievich Panfilov, who had the opportunity to command the si, went to the trick. He developed the tactics of conducting spiral hostilities. In his opinion, subject to the numerically superior enemy, acting the usual methods was suicide. So, his divisions had to keep the front with a length of more than 40 kilometers, although according to all the standards of wartime they could defend only 12 kilometers.

In such a situation, any concentrated enemy blow would break through the defense. And then Panfilov suggested acting as follows. The unit did not need to arrange a whole defensive front. Instead, it was necessary to strike at the moving enemy column, and, after a short battle, go away from the advancing enemy. Along the way, small ambushes and centers of resistance were organized at the retreating division, which lured the enemy towards the retreating, while detaining.

After the enemy stretched, the division sharply changed direction and again returned to strike on the main forces. Such disturbing blows strongly stretched the enemy’s forces, which greatly slowed down his advance. As a result, the division not only survived, contrary to all forecasts, but also did this heroically, for which she was renamed the 8th Guards Panfilovskaya.

It is noteworthy that Panfilov developed only a theory, but it was the Momysh-Uly battalion commander in life best of all in life. Having entered the battle in mid -October by the commander of the battalion, in November he had already headed the regiment, although he remained "Starley". The significance of his merits can be judged by the fact that Panfilov’s defensive theory was called the “spiral of Momyshula”, Colonel General Erich Göpner commanded the 4th Panzer Group, and it was he who happened to face the tactics of the young Kazakh.

During the offensive, he will write to Hitler in his reports: "The Wild Division, who is fighting in violation of all the charters and rules of fighting, whose soldiers do not surrender, are extremely fanatical and not afraid of death." The only savagery of the international volunteer division was only that they were not familiar with German plans. Instead of heroically perish under the caterpillars of German tank armades, the Momysh-Ula regiment chose life and victory.

The tactics of the "wild" Kazakh can be judged by several episodes. On his first day at the front, the lieutenant invited the regiment commander to create a detachment of a hundred volunteers and make a night outlet with them. He took with him only the most experienced and at night crept up to one of the villages occupied by the enemy. In less than an hour of battle, three hundred enemies were destroyed.

Under the Demyansk regiment of the senior lieutenant, I had a chance to meet with the SS "Dead Head". Here he again had to fight with a numerically superior enemy. He chose six villages occupied by the enemy. Twenty detachments, which were divided into the regiment, at the cover of night alternately attacked all the targets at once. As soon as the enemy organized defense, the detachment retreated, and after a few minutes another department attacked the village from the other side.

And such hell was happening in all six directions for several hours. The illustrious division with a loud name was held as best she could, but was sure that the main advance of the Soviet Army was holding back. They did not assume that they were fighting with one battered regiment.During the night, the losses of the fighters of the Momysh-Ulys made up the fighters, the SS division missed the soldier.

As we see, Starley adhered to the tactics of Alexander Suvorov - to always keep the initiative in the offensive. However, I had to take into account modern realities. Panfilovites could not give one general battle. After they defeated one German part, several others were thrown on them. Mumsh-Uly was repeatedly surrounded, but each time erupted, while maintaining his battalion, regiment and division in complete combat readiness.

The summer lieutenant in October began his legendary path to the battalion commander, a month later he already commanded the regiment, in February he headed his native division, while he remained a senior lieutenant. Only a few months later, he was given extraordinary ranks to the colonel one by one. Its peculiar character influenced delays with awards. The colleagues characterized him with a cheerful, cheerful person who always told the truth.

This was the cause of many friction with the authorities. This caused a rather comical situation, in the future. According to the stories of the stepdaughter of Mumsh-Uly, her adopted father rarely used his connections and influence, but loved to read to himself in newspapers. He found out how his exploits Fidel Castro and Che Guevara applied highly and immediately sent them an invitation to visit them.

Cuban guests, during a visit to the USSR, immediately stated that they would like to meet with the legendary "wild" Kazakh. The authorities began organizing a meeting. But there was one snag - an apartment building where the legendary Panfilovets lived in terrible condition. Local authorities immediately invited the family to move to a new apartment, but Momysh-Ulya flatly refused.

He stated that he was not ashamed to receive guests in such a house, and if anyone was ashamed of his housing, then let him live with this. After long negotiations, all parties came to a compromise - the hero’s house was repaired, and he settled with his family during the repair in the hotel. A whole delegation came to visit the commander, it turned out that Castro practically did not part with the books of Mumsh-Ula, but it was impossible to discuss all the topics for one short visit, so the hero of the war was invited on a response visit to Cuba.

In the year, this invitation managed to implement. The meeting of the Kazakh legend could only be compared with celebrations in honor of Yuri Gagarin. The Cubans hoped that their idol would conduct lectures on warfare within a month, but the Momysh-Uly refused, saying that he would manage in 10 days, but could not linger-the cadets are waiting for him.

The hero conducted the courses "Exit from the environment without loss" and "Conducting night battles in the offensive" at the military school. Bauyrzhan Momysh-Uly died in the year 71 years. The title of the hero was given to him only in the year.
