And in February, he was seconded to the city cooler to the courses of junior lieutenants. After the end of the courses, Junior Lieutenant Anisimov was sent to the Bryansk Front, where, as part of the Guards Artillery Regiment, the 6th Guards Rifle Division was appointed commander of a fire platoon. The division was part of the army and waged bloody defensive battles north of the village of Terbuna Lipetsk Region.

Here, Anisimov accepted combat baptism, well -established in the very first battles. His platoon set up 4 fascist tanks and, together with the infantry, did not miss the enemy to the city of Yelets. Already in July, Anisimov was awarded the rank of lieutenant’s guard. At the turn between the city of Livna and the village of Terbuna, Anisimov’s platoon stood in a deaf defense until January of the year.

The troops of the southern flank of the Bryansk Front, where Anisimov’s unit was located, advanced in the direction of Livna - Maloarkhangelsk. Until the March of the year, the platoon of the guard of Lieutenant Anisimov took place with the battles from the Omom River to the Ponyri station, where he took up defense on the southern front of the Oryol ledge of the Kursk arc. In May, I became part of the Central Front, its troops began to prepare for the likely offensive of the Nazis in this direction.

Under the cover of the fire of thousands of guns and mortars, with the support of many aircraft to the front edge of our defense, the masses of fascist tanks and assault guns rushed. The main blow by them was made in the direction of the village of Olkhovatka. Without breaking through the second defense lane here, the Hitler command of July transferred the direction of the main blow from Olkhovatka to the Ponyri station, where units of the 6th Guards Rifle Division were defended.

Directly on the position of the battery, which included Anisimov’s platoon, at the same time 70 fascist tanks went. Anisimov artillerymen met the enemy with direct fire fire. Many enemy tanks burned on the battlefield, and Soviet troops carried losses. The guards Lieutenant Anisimov had to replace the wounded gunner, and he certainly sent shells to the target. During the battle, one instrument of his platoon was smashed to shreds, but the other two continued the battle.

The enemy managed to master the station, but on the same day as a result of the counterattack of our tank units, the Nazis were knocked out of the pony. Many gunners on this day, July 7, heroically died in battle. In the mfed artillery regiment, 2 batteries were completely killed, but they did not miss the enemy. From the platoon of Anisimov, only 2 fighters remained alive besides him, but the lieutenant continued to fire from the only surviving gun.

For heroism, manifested in defensive battles on the Kursk Bulge, the guard Lieutenant Anisimov was awarded the Order of the Red Star. After defensive battles, an offensive began on left -bank Ukraine. By the beginning of September, the platoon of the Guard of Lieutenant Anisimov, replenished with recruits, entered the city of Shostosta as part of his regiment.

The gunners participated in the capture of this city and in battles when approaching the Desna River. From September 12 to September 14, the platoon helped the rifle units capture the Hitler’s strongholds in the villages of Komarovka and Yevlashovka of the Borzonsky district of the Chernihiv region. In this position on September 21, he went to the Dnieper.

On the same day, in the area of ​​the village of Teremtsi, the Chernobyl district of the Kyiv region, the Dnieper crossed out. The division in which Anisimov fought, crossing the Dnieper, participated in a battle for the capture of the bridgehead. Anisimov’s adjusters, when mastering a large village, Gdene provided accurate fire at the enemy’s firing points and forced him to run for Pripyat.

But in the future, heavy battles flared up in the area. The enemy transferred 2 infantry divisions here. Until November 16, the battles thundered at the Pripyat bridgehead, and Anisimov’s division was caused in a great damage to the enemy. The contribution of the guard of Lieutenant Anisimov to the battles on the Dnieper and Pripyat was somehow not noticed by the command, and he was not awarded, although many received orders, and some of the title of Hero of the Soviet Union.

In December, battles for the city of Korosten flared up.

From December 19 to 24, for 6 days, the Nazi tank divisions undertook a counterattack on the troops of the Army of the 1st Ukrainian Front. They undertook the greatest onslaught in the area of ​​the village of Chopovichi, where units of the 6th Guards Rifle Division defended themselves. Anisimov’s division participated in the reflection of these contrauders of the enemy. The adjusters of the Battery Department of the Office, under the leadership of the intelligence chief of the guard division, Lieutenant Anisimov, were put forward to the location of the rifle units these days, and sometimes they equipped their observation points ahead of them, and adjusted the fire of the batteries from there.

From their targets, the enemy has carried considerable losses in these battles. In January, the Rivne-Lutsk operation began almost without an operational pause. During it, the Anisimov division had to fight directly outside the city Rivne. Anisimov secured his adjustments to the rifle companies, and they provided accurate artillery fire at the enemy’s fire points in city buildings.

By February 7, the divisions of the 6th Guards Rifle Division entered the Dubno district, and heavy battles began here with the Brodsky Nazi group. Our gunners and arrows blocked their way. For a month in the area of ​​the oak, battles rattled. In them, Anisimov himself personally corrected the general fire of the entire division several times. Lieutenant Anisimov returned to his division at the end of May, when she kept the defense south of the city of Lutsk.

And on July 15, the Lviv-Sandomir operation began. The batteries of the artillery division for target designations of the guards of Lieutenant Anisimov helped to master the cities of Radekhov, Rava-Russian. Together with the first assault groups, Anisimov’s adjusters also left, from July 28 - the guard of the senior lieutenant. They participated in the conquest of a bridgehead called Sandomirsky, and the guns of the artillery division for their guidelines brought down a deadly fire on the heads of the Nazis on the western shore of Visla.

Anisimov personally kept contact with the adjustors and led the fire of the batteries. Throughout August and early September, battles rattled in the Sandomir bridgehead. The Hitler command pulled great forces here, and it would be not easy for the rifle units if the 1st, 3rd Guards and 4th Panzer Armies could not cross the bridgehead. Anisimov’s division reflected the counterattacks of the enemy northwest of the city of Sandomir.

Dozens of enemy tanks were destroyed in a month of defensive battles at the bridgehead. For the difference in these battles of the guard, Senior Lieutenant Anisimov was awarded the second order of the Red Star. During the battles on the Sandomirsky bridgehead on September 27, the senior lieutenant Anisimov was appointed commander of the artillery battery. The battery defended herself in the area of ​​the village of Laguev, and the battalion commander managed to ensure its clear work.

During the month, the bridgehead was expanded by several kilometers to the west. The battery from all sides was the enemy. Then Anisimov “for the illumination of goals” ordered to light the house, and in the light of fire he began to shoot the enemy point blank.As a result of the well-aimed fire, his gunners were destroyed by a tank, self-propelled gun, 2 armored personnel carriers and up to 2 infantry plates.

For the difference in this battle of the guard, Senior Lieutenant Anisimov was awarded the Order of the Patriotic War of the 2nd degree. After 3 days, the city of Kelce was liberated in units of the Army. On the same day, January 15, on the banks of the Charna Nida River near the village of Moravitsa, the guard of the guard of senior lieutenant Anisimov reflected the enemy’s counterattacks and knocked out 1 tank and 2 self -propelled guns.

The next day, January 26, Anisimov, moving with the advanced battalion, was the first among the gunners to force the river in the area of ​​the town of Keben, put forward his battery to an open firing position and began to shoot enemy infantry, providing a bridgehead in the western bank. The remaining rifle divisions of the division unhinderedly overcame the Oder and began the battles for expanding the bridgehead.

In the battles at the Oder bridgehead, the battalion commander was always in the most difficult places of the battle, finding a way out of all critical situations. For the courage and heroism, manifested during the Visl-Oder operation, the guard, Senior Lieutenant Anisimov, was presented to the title of Hero of the Soviet Union. In February, the battles continued in the interfluve of the Oder and Neis.
