On the building of the basin of the central stadium in the hero city of Volgograd on a memorial plaque with the names of athletes who died in battles for their homeland, there is also the surname of Ivan Bazarov. Kholzunov, awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union for outstanding feats in battles in the defense of the socialist homeland, the first of which is the Bazarov I.

He had high speed and had high maneuverability, while he was well equipped with weapons. The situation was serious. Nevertheless, the commander ordered the whole group to refrain from attacking the Messers. This made it possible to start the Nazis earlier. The situation in comparison with the enemy put the Soviet pilots in a difficult position. Two four Soviet fighters kept compactly, maneuvered, supporting each other.

In the first attack, our pilots managed to knock out one Messerschmitt. This immediately sobered up the Nazis. They began to maneuver, rebuild, trying to preserve the emerging positional advantage. With several attacks, German pilots tried to cut off Bazarov’s plane from the main group, but to no avail. The Soviet Asses undertook a counterattack, and another ME fascists caught fire, meanwhile, as if entering the excitement.

They tried to assemble their groups of fighters into a fist and again rush to the attack. The battle was unequal and exhausting. The Nazis tried to tear off our fighters from the covered bombers to tear off their powers to expose them to strike. But our pilots did not accept the imposed tactical scheme, realizing what it threatens. They were fully responsible for the covered aircraft and were forced to stay close to them.

Thus, Soviet fighter pilots had to perform a double task: to attack the enemy and at the same time protect their bombers. This fight was difficult. Attempts by the Germans to break through to our bombers cost the Nazis of four wrapped cars. In one of the fierce battles in the area of ​​the Arabat Gulf, a classmate of Ivan Bazarov died. His name was Evgeny prosecutor.

Eugene repeated the feat of many pilots of the Great Patriotic War - he went to the ram of a fascist plane and destroyed it: the fragments of both cars lay on the ice of the Sea of ​​Azov long after that. At the funeral of Comrade Ivan Bazarov, he oath to take revenge on the enemy, not giving him any mercy. He responded to the death of combat comrades with rapid attacks on the enemy, the destruction of fascist vultures.

And he took revenge on the enemy for the death of Soviet fighters and civilians, for the tears of mothers, wives, sisters, young children. At that time, the Motherland appreciated the pilot’s contribution to the struggle against the fascist invaders: Lieutenant's commander Ivan Fedorovich Bazarov on February 21 was awarded the first Order of the Red Banner. By this time, he shot down three enemy aircraft, made about a hundred sorties.

In the spring of the year, Bazarov is appointed commander of a group of people who have just arrived at the Yakov airfield. Here is what one of the records in the regiment’s fighting journal reads: “On May 9, in groups of 6 and 8 Yak-1 aircraft, the pilots of the regiment accompanied the attack aircraft to the areas of the beam Black and the sandstone beam. The air was literally saturated with enemy fighters.

I had to fight with exceeding 3-4 times and only courage, composure, endurance and skill shown in air battles led to victory. On this day, 12 enemy aircraft were shot down without his own losses. ” But then in one of the fights the plane of Bazarov was also damaged.The landing turned out to be unsuccessful, when hit, the pilot lost consciousness. Wounded, exhausted, fighting friends pulled him out of the cab and sent him to the hospital.

But there he did not stay long. Having treated, he asked for discharge. Friends of the Reframed Plant met the lieutenant cordially. They talked about the latest front -line news, about the damage to fascist vultures. After a while, the regiment was relocated to the Sevastopol region, and immediately into battle. By this time, after holding several air fights, Ivan Bazarov shot down six enemy aircraft and injured two, for which he was awarded the second Order of the Red Banner in a row.

He destroyed the enemy in the sky near Voroshilovgrad, near Rostov-on-Don. Soon Ivan Fedorovich Bazarov made a firm decision to join the party. Getting a party party, the Lieutenant of the Red Army said: “While my heart beats, while the Nazis rave on the Soviet ground, I will beat the invaders. I will give all my strength, if necessary, and I will not regret my life in the fight against the enemy.

” In the rear, meanwhile, warm clothes, products, and money were collected for the front. A lot of money collected was directed to the construction of tanks and planes. Soon, Bazarov sat down at the helm of a named aircraft, which was called the "Saratov Volgar." Ivan Fedorovich received a promotion - by order of the district of February 16, Captain Bazarov was appointed to the post of squadron commander.

On the morning of July 5, the pilots of the first squadron under the command of I. Bazarov took places in the cabins. The task was set - to destroy the enemy bombers who flew towards our positions near Kursk. It was necessary to take part not only in air battles, but also to deliver a crushing blow to eight German airfields. Soviet aircraft rose into the air almost simultaneously.

It was an unprecedented combat operation, which went down in the history of the Great Patriotic War. After the announcement of this operation, accompanying our attack aircraft, Captain Bazarov joined the battle with four FV and two ME, having only three yaks in his group in the first attack was shot down by one enemy plane. The attack aircraft completed the task and returned back without loss.

This battle was indicative that the FV aircraft appeared with the Germans recently. In the short hours of respite, Soviet pilots paid a lot of attention to the study of this fighter and soon knew his strengths and weaknesses well. It turned out, for example, that the Hitlerovites cannot fully realize the advantage of armament and very insignificant superiority over the yaks, since the Yakovlevs clearly surpass the Focke Wulf into maneuverability.

Soviet pilots successfully used this advantage in almost all air battles with the Germans. Armades of steel armored vehicles moved towards each other. Therefore, the task was faced with the task - to destroy the enemy tanks even before they enter the line of fire. One of the battles in the sky over Prokhorovka with the participation of Captain I. Bazarov was described in the “History of the Defustration Aviation Regiment” so “July 16 of the year of the Yak-1 aircraft, led by Captain Bazarov, accompanied the IL-2 group to strike at the enemy north of Belgorod.

At the approach to the front line, ten IU were met at the same moment to our front line, three groups of Yu - 50 aircraft, accompanied by twelve me, a six -meter -in fighter under the command of Captain Bazarov, connected nine IU with air battle, walking ahead of the “Junkers”. After the first attack, the battle moved to the vertical struck on top, the Junkers Stroy was defeated behind, and the squadron commander was torn off the execution of their assignment from the beginning of the Battle of Kursk destroyed six enemy aircraft.

In his book “The Commander attacks the first,” V. Shevchuk wrote: “Bazarov knew exactly what he was doing now and what he would do in the battle in a minute where he would go to the Messer, with which range he would begin to shoot at the Junkers. A shy, modest guy, in the air he acted decisively, persistently, bravely, unfortunately, a bright day of victory to Captain Bazarov was not destined to see.

He died.
