Since April, Captain N. Verbin is in stock. Arriving in the city of Sengiley, the Ulyanovsk region, was at party-Soviet work, was a teacher. In the year he graduated from the Ulyanovsk Pedagogical Institute. Lieutenant Colonel of the reserve. He was buried in the city of Sengiley. Nikolai Verbin spent his childhood in Lenin’s Order in his native village Novo-Kubanskaya.

Here he graduated from 10 classes of high school and, deciding to become a teacher, entered the Krasnodar Pedagogical Institute. After 2 courses, the institute did not go further at the institute, Verbin returned to his native village and began to work as a primary school teacher in high school. Since he had an unfinished higher pedagogical education, he became a political worker - the deputy political instructor of the company of a separate battalion of the NKVD troops.

The battalion carried security service in the city of Rostov-on-Don. In this position, the verbal of the beginning of the Great Patriotic War caught the verbal. In November, the front line approached Rostov. All units that were part of the city defense system, including the NKVD battalion in which Verbin served, were abandoned to repulse the enemy. In heavy battles near Rostov, the junior political instructor of Verbin received military baptism.

But in November, the city could not be defended, and the enemy occupied Rostov. As it turned out, only 2 weeks. Already at the end of November, the troops of the Southern Front and Army of the North Caucasus Front, having carried out a brilliant offensive operation, liberated Rostov and threw the enemy behind the Mius River. This was the first major success of the Soviet Army in the war, which became the forerunner of the defeat of the Nazis near Moscow, Tikhvin, the landing operation on the Kerch Peninsula.

But for a long time I did not have to fight the vertex. After leaving the hospital in March, Verbin became a cadet of the junior lieutenants of the North Caucasus Front in the same city of Yeysk. In July, he immediately received the title of lieutenant and ... was not aimed at the front, but to the position of commander of the training platoon of cadets in the 2nd Ordzhonikidze Infantry School.

Then there he became deputy commander of the training company of cadets for the drill. So in the year it was not possible to fight the verd on the front. This was not possible in the year. Verbin wrote reports on sending to the front, which did not find understanding from the leadership of the school. But in June, a ray of hope seemed to have appeared. The next report of Lieutenant Verbin was satisfied, and he was sent ...

to study at the “Shot” courses in the city of Ulyanovsk. Here is such a turn of fate. True, in addition to studying, there was another positive moment - in Ulyanovsk, Nikolai Verbin met a girl Anya from the town of Sengiley, who wrote warm letters to the front and waited for him after the war. After the end of the courses in April of the year, Lieutenant Verbin was sent to the 2nd Ukrainian Front, where he was enrolled in the officer reserve of the Guards Rifle Division of the Army.

But he was destined to fight as part of another army-before the start of the Yasko-Chisinau operation, the Rifle Corps, which I included the Guards Rifle Division, was transferred to the 5th shock army of the 3rd Ukrainian Front. In June, Lieutenant Verbin was appointed commander of the rifle company of a separate training rifle battalion of the Guards Rifle Regiment.

Despite the fact that the battalion was nominally educational, its fighters and commanders, including Lieutenant Verbin, participated in the battles of the Yas-Kishinovo operation that began on August 20. Moreover, the division, breaking through the defense at the Dniester bridgehead, advanced directly to the capital of Moldova, the city of Chisinau, where the Verbin company participated in the cleansing of the city’s already liberated quarters from the buildings of individual small groups of the Nazis hiding in the basements and in the attics of buildings.

In addition, the Verbin fighters were engaged in the same thing in areas west of Chisinau, where the large group of the enemy was surrounded, dissected and broke up into separate foci of resistance. For August and September, only Verbin was captured by the Nazis. And then in the fall of the year the 5th shock army in full force moved to the 1st Belorussian Front and crossed to the Magnushevsky bridgehead, taking up defense in its central part.

First of all, it was necessary to master the dominant height, located in a kilometer behind the front edge, with which the enemy led a fairly aimed shelling of the position of the regiment. This height in the enemy defense system occupied a key role and was a serious obstacle in the case of a large -scale offensive of the Soviet troops. For 3 days of battles from November 29 to December 1, the company of the guard of Lieutenant Verbin not only took possession of this height, but also threw the enemy another meters from her slopes.

Now it was convenient to fir at the Hitler defense with it, and soon the Katyusha division appeared near it ... During these battles, Komrota Verbin showed heroism, personally leading attacks and destroying 18 Nazis from a machine gun from a machine gun. Already in the last minutes of the battle, the crazy bullet hit the softer in the soft tissues of the shoulder, without hitting the bone, and he had to treat his medical battalion for a short time.

For the difference in these battles, verbals were awarded the Order of the Patriotic War of the 2nd degree. In addition, on December 16, he was awarded the military rank of guard of the senior lieutenant. Already by half the tenth, the fighters of the Guards Rifle Regiment captured the first and second trenches of the enemy and the supporting points of the rake of Zalesna, the choice.

Having passed 3 kilometers, Rota Verbin buried herself in a railway embankment, because of which the Nazis from the outskirts of the village of Boska Volya desperately fired. Then the regiment of the guard Colonel G. Shostatsky ordered the 2nd battalion to go around the village, and soon the enemy was knocked out of it and hastily moved to the opposite bank of the Pilitsa River. But the advanced units did not wait for the approach of the main forces of the division and began to force the river, immediately rushing on its ice.

Soon, a very important bridgehead for the further advance of the Soviet troops was captured. At the command post of the commander of the 5th shock army, General N. Berzarin, the front commander Marshal G. Zhukov was located and followed the progress of the operation. At this time, the head of the political department of the Guards Rifle Corps of the Guard came with a report, Colonel D.

Andreev, and a literally the following conversation took place between the military leaders: - did you report to other divisions about pylical forces? Andreev: - So for sure. My workers informed the political officers of the regiments of the Guards Division by telephone, and the “birthday” 94 GSD took care of this themselves. Kuzovkov reported that in the advancing companies, leaflets-monks with the following content were released: “The battalions of Rybkin, Gorbunov and Demchenko crossed the Pilitsa.

Go ahead, comrades! This will inspire other units. Andreev: - During the forcing, the seventh company of the senior lieutenant Verbin was especially distinguished. Berzarin: - Wait, is this the same Nikolai Nikolaevich Verbin, in whose company I was at the party meeting? I am pleased to report that the Communists fulfilled the promise to be the first in battle. Zhukov:-Tell us in more detail.

Andreev: - When the company reached the ice of the saw, the enemy opened a hurricane fire. From the gaps of mines and shells, ice crumbled, the dead and the wounded fell. The company lay down. The heads could not be raised. And at that moment, it was the party members who carried the fighters along. The company’s company verb and platoon brave rose were the first to rise, and followed by the communists of the major, Kreepetsky, Vinogradov and others.

The party members of Sentyurin and Kudryavtsev were injured, but did not leave the battlefield. By nineteen o'clock, the company broke to the west coast in the bend of the beam and fixed it on the bridgehead. Zhukov: - Great! Imagine the entire personnel, all to the one, to the awards, and Verbin - to the title of the hero, after mastering the bridgehead on the Pilitsa River of the Guards Rifle Division, was ordered to resume a decisive offensive and by the end of the day to go to the line of Yuzefuv, two -way, and terrestrial.

Commander of the Guards Rifle Corps, General P.Firsov ordered for the development of a breakthrough, persecution and the final defeat of the Nazis to introduce a combined group as part of a separate tank brigade, a regiment of tanks-tanks, a separate heavy self-propelled artillery regiment with a landing of infantry on these machines. Developing success, the combined group by 15 o’clock on January 16, the Georus - Byalobzhegs cut the highway, and after four hours already fought for the harvests.

Rota Verbin was the first to burst into this settlement, having tied a battle on its streets and providing self -propelled guns for the destruction of enemy artillery batteries at the edge of the forest west of Goshchi. For the difference in this battle, 6 days after the presentation to the title of Hero of the Soviet Union of the Guard, Senior Lieutenant Verbin was also awarded the Order of the Patriotic War of the 1st degree.

Subsequently, a mobile advanced detachment was formed in the 5th Shock Army, which went to the west and quickly began to approach the Oder.
