From the memoirs of V.I. Chuikova
In the corps, the leading role in crossing the Vistula was played by the 57th Guards Rifle Division, led by General Afanasy Dmitrievich Shemenkov, who managed to secretly and in time concentrate his regiments for a powerful strike, which essentially ensured the success of the entire corps.

How the formation of the 82nd Rifle Division of the "second stage" actually took place was colorfully described in his unfortunately unpublished memoirs by the commander of the newly formed division I. M. Antyufeev.
At the beginning of the summer of 1939, being the deputy commander of the 98th Rifle Division and being in the Alkino camps near Ufa, on June 7-8, I was unexpectedly summoned by telegram to the headquarters of the Ural Military District (Sverdlovsk). The telegram said that a long business trip was ahead ... Leaving the eleven-year-old son (his wife died in November 1938) in charge of the canteen of the military organization, having collected everything necessary for a “long” business trip, he took the first train to the district headquarters. Upon arrival there I was immediately received by the commander of the military district, Comrade Ershakov, and a member of the Military Council (I think Leonov), who immediately announced to me that I was being appointed commander of the 82nd rifle division, the so-called second-order, which is now being formed in the camps near Perm ... ...
I tried to give a hint about the hard marital status, de wife recently died, and the son of eleven is now left alone in the camps. But I was immediately assured that they say, do not worry about your son, we will arrange it. In addition, your business trip will last no more than 2-3 months. And you go to Comrade Solovyov. This is your former commander of the 98th division. In general, "persuaded."
So, on June 10 or 11, 1939, I arrived at a camp near Perm. The division is in the midst of formation. The camp and its surroundings are filled with crowds of people, horses, carts. There was an incredible noise and din. It turns out that twice as many people were called in than were actually assigned to this division (for "insurance"). All plans for postscript and mobplan went down the drain. Subdivisions and units were staffed with chokhs, from any area, just to recruit people and horses required by the states [number]. As a result, the units were staffed with personnel, for the most part who did not even attend territorial training camps, and, therefore, were completely untrained. All this was a depressing situation, but since the division was on its way to study at the camps, there was a hope that order would be restored in the camps upon arrival at the destination, and the personnel would learn some more ... Ershakov, reminding me to take more people.
It was strictly forbidden to call the units that make up the division with their actual names.
Since it was strictly forbidden to use the actual names of military units, their conditional numbers were firmly entrenched behind the true names of the regiments. Therefore, in the hostilities in the area of \u200b\u200bthe Khalkhin-Gol River, instead of 72, 210 and 289 rifle regiments, 601, 602 and 603 rifle regiments appear. The same was the case with the numbering of other parts of the division.
On June 17, 1939, the division began redeploying to the Spassk camp as part of the 2nd Separate Army.
On the way, the division received an order from the ZabVO Armed Forces No. 13285 / op dated 04.07.39 to transfer it to the 57th Special Corps and concentrate in the area of \u200b\u200bst. Borzya Molotovskaya railway (Chindant-2).
The 1st battalion of the 72nd rifle division was transferred to the command of the commander of the 5th rifle and machine-gun brigade, a battalion was formed from the division's units instead, and the 46th air link was relocated on July 1 to station. Sokhondo Molotov Railway d., where the commander of the 114th rifle division entered the order.
According to the order of the Armed Forces of the ZabVO dated 04.07.39 No. 13285 / op 603 (aka 289) the joint venture with the 1st division 82 ap on the same day made a forced march by motor transport along the route Borzya, Solovievsk, Bain-Tumen, Tamtsak-Bulakkv \u200b\u200bto the area of \u200b\u200bhostilities on the river Khalkhin-Gol. The rest of the 4th division made a marching order along the route 603 joint ventures. The division commander is Colonel Antyufeev I.M., the military commissar of the division is the battalion commissar T.F. Tsyganov, the chief of staff of the division is Major M.N. Pryadilov.
From the unpublished memoirs of I. M. Antyufeev:
According to our calculations, we needed 39 echelons, which means that the last echelon from the camps will leave 9-10 days after the first. In general, this is how it happened. The division stretched across the entire Trans-Siberian Railway. The first echelon was approaching Chita, and the last one had not yet embarked at the departure station. By this time, judging by the newspapers, the "conflict" with the Japanese on the river. Kh. G. flared up in a real war. Perhaps, in connection with these events, some high authorities, or rather, as we later learned, deputy. NGO Marshal Sov. Union K [evidence] did not come up with anything better than throwing an absolutely unprepared 82nd RD into this hell, in the literal and figurative sense of the word. The commandant of the Chita station was instructed to direct all echelons of the 82nd Rifle Division, following the route to Blagoveshchensk, from the Chita station to the Olovyannaya and Borzya stations. And unload there. And further 800 km had to follow the marching order at the disposal of the corps commander Zhukov, that is, to the river Kh. G. A kind of march should be made by Perm people, who were born and raised among forests and rivers! To overcome the 800-km waterless steppe, [which] is crossed by only two rivers along its entire length, and on the way, after about 40-50 km, you come across small, neglected wells that can water a small caravan of camels. Plus, the heat is up to 25-30 degrees. It seemed that one did not need to be a marshal to understand that the 82nd Rifle Division was not a suitable unit for such an operation. After all, there were formations in ZabVO that were better prepared and more acclimatized for these places. However, to all my arguments about the state of the division, the command of the ZabVO, in whose subordination we were temporarily, did not pay any attention to this. He just [would] satisfy Zhukov's requests, and then the grass won't grow. In addition, the division is "alien", the district is not responsible for the preparation ... But, be that as it may, and the order is an order. Suitable echelons began to unload at the stations Olovyannaya, Borzya and between them. Having barely disembarked from the cars, hastily set up tents and washed in the river, they immediately began their studies, the main goal of which was to master small arms and at least put together subdivisions. But we were not destined to do that either. For, as soon as the first of the rifle regiments landed, [...] suddenly a representative from the ZabVO headquarters arrives with an order: immediately, now, one rifle battalion (without horses) should be placed at the disposal of a representative of the 5th armored brigade on its staffing.
What can you do? The battalion was transferred and immediately put on cars and sent to replenish the armored brigade. The next day, a similar order was issued to transfer one more battalion to the 7th Armored Brigade. Thus, one rifle regiment was left with one battalion and special forces.
[...] a representative of the district headquarters arrived again, this time together with a representative from the Special Corps (from Zhukov), it was ordered that the whole regiment (without horses) be placed at the disposal of the representative of the corps headquarters [...]. The regiment was immediately put into vehicles and sent directly to Kh.G. As a result, the 82nd Rifle Division remained in the composition of one fir-tree regiment, one fir-tree battalion, art [Illerian] and special [ial] units and loads of horses and carts. In all this haste, the nervousness with which the division was being pulled apart in parts, the impression was involuntarily created that, as if our troops were not only failing somewhere in the distant desert dunes beyond the river. H. G., but, as if all the gains of the October Revolution were crumbling! And for the sake of saving this, all means are good ...
On July 6, 1939, the 82nd rifle division without 603th joint venture crossed the border of the MPR near Solovievsk and, fulfilling the task assigned to it, made a march along the route 603 bn.
The division showed low combat readiness. So, on the night of July 11-12, 1939, two battalions of the 603rd Infantry Regiment of the 82nd Infantry Division left their positions twice without orders. There were attempts to treacherously shoot the kompolitstav. On July 12, 1939, by order of the corps commander G.K. Zhukov, all the commanders of regiments, battalions, companies and even platoons of the 82nd rifle division, recently called up from the reserve, were transferred respectively to the posts of deputies. The units and subunits were headed by commanders from the 36th motorized rifle division, which had shown itself well. Only by decisive measures by the command, the political department, the prosecutor's office and the tribunal, the division's units were brought into proper order.
On July 15, the 82nd Rifle Division was concentrated 12 km northeast of Tamtsak-Bulak and was placed at the disposal of the commander of the 57th Special Corps, deployed on July 19 in 1 army group under the command of corps commander G.K. Zhukov.
By the personal order of the Deputy NKO Marshal G.I.Kulik, all units of the division began to perform the task of knocking together units ( special attention paid to melee tactics, fire training and grenade throwing). In the period from 6 to 19 July 1939, the 82nd Rifle Division prepared intensively for the upcoming battles. Weapon combat check was carried out
At 10:00 on July 19, 1939, 604 (38) paws and 611 (91) gaps moved into the combat area and took up firing positions: 604 paws - 5 km north of the city of Hamar-Dab, 611 gap - 6 km west of Dungur-Obo ...
On July 20, 1939, 82 rifle divisions arrived in the area of \u200b\u200bhostilities. From 12.00 on July 20, the division headquarters settled in the city of Khamar-Daba. 82 RD became part of the right combat area, which had the task of defending east coast R. Khalkhin-Gol. At the same time, the commander of the 82nd Rifle Division was appointed head of the right combat area.
By this time, the 82nd Rifle Division had the following equipment:
From July 21 to August 19, 1939, the division defended the eastern bank of the river. Khalkhin-Gol, having a leading edge along sandy hillocks 4-5 km east of the river.
On August 3, 1939, by decision of the Armed Forces of the 1st AG, the commander of the 82nd Infantry Division, Colonel I. Antyufeev, was removed from his post. The brigade commander Pos' F.F. entered the command of the 82nd Rifle Division. On August 6, the Military Council of the 1st Army Group removed from his post the Chief of Staff of the 82nd Rifle Division, Major Pryadilov M.N.
According to the plan of the commander of the 1st AG Corps Commander GK Zhukov, three groups of troops were created.
The southern one, under the command of Colonel M.I. flamethrower tanks. The group was supposed to advance in the direction of Nomon-Khan-Burd-Obo with the immediate task of destroying the enemy grouping located south of the Khailastyn-Gol river, and later, in cooperation with the troops of the Central and Northern groups, encircle and destroy the Japanese troops north of Khailastyn-Gol. In the event of an offensive by the enemy's reserves from the side of Manchuria, the troops of the Southern Group were to repulse their attacks. The right flank of the group was supported by the 8th MHRA Cavalry Division. She was supposed to push back the enemy's Khingan cavalry division, occupy and firmly hold the heights of Eris-Ulyn-Obo. The artillery of the Southern Group, consisting of 72 guns, was supposed to suppress and destroy the enemy's manpower and its firing points at Peschanaya Hill and in the Bolshaya Peski area, and accompany tanks and infantry with fire. The division of the 185th regiment, in addition, was entrusted with shelling the enemy's rear.
The northern group, commanded by Colonel I.P. Alekseenko, consisting of 601 rifle regiment of 82 rifle division, 7 motorized armored brigade, two tank battalions of 11 tank brigade, 87 anti-tank battalion and 6 cavalry division of the MHRA was to conduct an offensive in the direction of nameless lakes, which a few kilometers northeast of Nomon-Khan-Burd-Obo, with the immediate task of capturing sand dunes four kilometers west of this height. In the future, in cooperation with the Z6 motorized rifle division of the Central Group and the troops of the Southern Group, encircle and destroy the enemy troops north of the Khailastyn-Gol River.
The group's artillery, consisting of 24 guns (not counting the regimental and battalion ones), occupied firing positions north of Mount Bain-Tsagan and was supposed to suppress manpower, machine guns and guns of the enemy at Finger Hill.
The troops of the Central Group (tasks were set directly by Corps Commander G.K. Zhukov) consisted of 602 and 603 rifle regiments of the 82nd rifle division, the 24th and 149th regiments of the 36th motorized rifle division and the 5th rifle and machine gun brigade. While advancing in the center, the group was supposed to pin down the main enemy forces with attacks from the front and prevent the transfer of reinforcements to the flanks. The immediate task is to master the Peschanaya and Remizovskaya heights. In the future, in cooperation with the troops of the Southern and Northern Groups, take part in the encirclement and destruction of Japanese troops on the southern and northern banks of the Khailastyn-Gol River.
The central group had the most artillery: 112 barrels. This artillery was supposed to destroy manpower and fire weapons on the Peschanaya and Remizovskaya heights, support the attack of tanks and infantry, suppress Japanese artillery, make it difficult for reserves to approach, and actively take part in repelling enemy counterattacks.
By August 20, the 82nd rifle division (603 and 602 rifle divisions) was located south-west of the Peschanaya hill in the area between Nuren-Obo and Dungur-Obo, adjoining the right flank to the 57th rifle division, and with the left flank against the Khailastyn-Gol river.
By this time, the 82nd Rifle Division had the following combat strength:
First, our bomber aviation with several hundred aircraft made a powerful raid on the Japanese front line of defense, their nearest reserves and artillery positions. Then a powerful artillery preparation began.
15 minutes before the attack, the aircraft made a second raid, then artillery again opened heavy fire on the enemy forward edge.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, an attack began along the entire front.
There was immediate success in the Southern group. On the very right flank of the attackers, easily pushing back parts of the Bargut Khingan Cavalry Division, the 8th Cavalry Division of the MPRA under the command of Colonel Nyantaysuren quickly advanced forward. Having seized the line of the heights of Eris-Ulyn-Obo and Khulat-Ulyn-Obo, the division reached the state border and remained in these positions until the end of hostilities, providing the flank and then the rear of the Southern Group.
But the troops of the Central Group had to fight hard. On the morning of August 20, the 82nd Rifle Division, in cooperation with the 57th Rifle Division, began to destroy the enemy on the Nuren-Obo front, r. Khalkhin-Gol, applying main blow his right flank. Having in front of itself strong knots of Japanese resistance in the area of \u200b\u200bPeschanaya Hill and Zelenaya Heights, the 82nd Rifle Division conducted a stubborn fire battle all day, but by the end of the day it had advanced only 500-1500 meters with its flanks. Using a developed system of trenches and numerous firing points, the enemy put up stubborn resistance, often turning to counterattacks. Several times the Soviet infantrymen rose to the attack, but the Japanese forced them to lie down with strong rifle and machine-gun fire. The immediate task - the capture of Peschanaya Hill and the height of the Green Division could not fulfill.
On August 21, the advance of units of 82nd and 36th SD was insignificant. The enemy continued to put up stubborn resistance on the approaches to Peschanaya Hill and Remizov Hill.
