Mortars hit from the clearing in the forest. But they did not cause harm - the fire of the howitzer quickly covered them, and they fell silent. And the rafts walked and went forward.

Loofs were torn around, raising the fountains of water, but nothing could stop the paratroopers. Moving to that shore and boat. The soldiers frantically rowed with boards, the rest, including the Moiseev, shot along the shore from machine guns.The closer the shore, the more difficult the situation.
