The number “Birobidzhan Star” for May 28, 1978 is dedicated to border guards.
In the article by Yu. Guryev “An example of a hero-landing hero” tells about the feat of the border guard Ivan Savelyevich Fedko.
“This happened in August 1945. A group of border guards, led by Captain Mironenko, stormed the Japanese border police post. The Partytes of the outposts, Sergeant Ivan Fedko, fled in front of the attackers. But the Red Army stopped confused in front of the clay wall. And then Fedko shouted to his comrades:“ Standing each other! ”He stood on his back. The border guards and boldly jumped into the courtyard of the enemy garrison.
The actions of our fighters were so swift and stunning that most of the Japanese did not manage to occupy their defensive structures. And only from a few bunks did the enemy brought down a flurry of fire on daredevils. This forced the border guards to lay down, preventing the attack.
Clutching his whole body to the ground, Fedko crawled. The comrades with bated breath watched his every movement and, if a Japanese appeared in any of the windows of the building, they immediately opened fire. Another minute, another – and now a accurately abandoned grenade flies into the embrasure. Behind her is the second, third … The machine gun fell silent.
– Go ahead, after me! – the soldiers heard in the silence of the party organizer.
The sergeant was the first to rush to the barracks. The loud and friendly “cheers” rushed from everywhere. Shooting on the go at the Japanese who had hung up in the house, Fedko felt a sharp blow to the chest. Something burning and acute pierced the whole body, and immediately the earth began to float from under his feet. The warrior swayed and fell backward.
Sergeant Fedko no longer saw how the Japanese rolled down the hollow slope of the hill, and a red flag fluttered over the fortress. “
This article published an interesting fact. In 1978, sergeant Ivan Fedko, a nephew of a border guard, served at the Ivan Fedko outpost, one of the best warriors of the outpost.
