Personal warfare of Aleshka Golosevich
The fate of Alyosha Golosevich was both gracious and very cruel. Sometimes she gave the boy royal gifts, and sometimes she tormented her as if he were just an unfeeling toy.
Alyoshka grew up a simple rural boy. He loved his younger brother Kolka and his mother very much, he helped with the housework, he was adept at any work and was not lazy. Yes, very desperate. One day I was not afraid to stop the horse, which carried the cart directly to their house. Many adults stepped aside, and the boy managed.
Zhil Alesha in a village with a beautiful name Lyutino (Klichevsky district, Mogilev region). And this name, as it turned out, can be understood this way and that. Alyosha's childhood was, though not cloudless and carefree, but bright and sunny - like a buttercup. But the fascists came to their homeland — lyutovanie began. Invaders burned almost all the houses in the village, people began to live in dugouts. They organized a demonstration execution: they collected old men, cripples, women who resisted this, and executed them along with prisoners. More than seventy people. It turned out to be among the dead and Aleshin's mother.
The boy did not see the execution. He saved the four-year-old Kolka - he was afraid that the little brother would scream, break out, run to his mother and die. The Nazis will not regret it. Alyoshka hid the boy at the aunt. And he went to the forest, to look for a partisan detachment. He knew for sure that the detachment existed: sometimes Mom spoke about it. I heard that his uncle became the commander of this detachment. And at the very beginning of the war, a wounded soldier found himself in their hut - he also talked about that this way. Mom treated the fighter, and Alyoshka asked me to take him with Fritz to beat him. But the soldier flatly refused. As he left, he asked Alyoshka to safely hide the machine gun of the killed comrade and even taught him to use it. Hide weapon the boy did not - still time to lose, when you need to get ...
So, Alyoshka went to the forest. And found the partisans! He told everything, asked for a detachment - and was refused. He was fed, given some clothes, left to spend the night, and was taken to the village in the morning. The boy could not put up with such a step.
He did not tell the partisans about the machine gun, no one in the village knew about it either. And Alyoshka decided to start his personal war with the fascists. He himself judged them and issued a just death sentence. And that the hands of the boys are only two and one machine gun - it does not matter. These hands will be more cunning.
In one of the hot summer days, the boy noticed the fascists bathing. It can be seen, not the first time the invaders rested here - this was understandable throughout, and the beach was extremely beautiful, flat, and the place was quiet. And from the night the young fighter had already taken up his position in a willowy with a weapon in his hands. But that day bypassed luck. Past, on the road to Bobruisk, passing cars, but none stopped. Well - the first pancake is a lump! Alyosha came with the next dawn. And more, and more. And waited. The car stopped, three Nazis climbed into the water. The boy gathered all the strength of will ...
That day he killed two. Could and more, but cartridges left. He safely went to the village, the machine gun safely hid. This was the first day of his war.
The next time a boat sailed along the river, on which Alyoshka counted up to fifteen fascists. He gave a turn - he was happy to see how the enemies started to fall and began to fall, someone jumped overboard. But the panic among the Nazis did not last long: German machine guns stuck in, the young partisans realized that it was time to leave. And again he disappeared safely. And the next morning I learned that a partisan detachment attacked the boat, killing six fascists. "Got, you bastards!" - the boy was happy ...
Alyoshka again went to the partisans, a story about his actions. Seasoned fighters just shrugged. So the stubborn boy became a member of the partisan detachment. He turned into a scout and mastered his business perfectly. He was entrusted with serious, adult tasks. Alyoshka collected valuable information (and he had a wonderful memory), worked on leaflets. He was well-versed in the situation and therefore often returned from tasks not only from the newsbut also mined ammunition. Once it happened, I discovered a small warehouse with grenades, near which stood a guard with his head uncovered. Alyoshka crept up to him, hit him on the head with a stone and carried out from the warehouse, although not everything, but much. The boy was not taken into battle, and he reproached the adults with insult that they had conducted an offensive operation without him and liberated part of the district.
Once, having gone for reconnaissance, Alyoshka came to his native village. I did not know the boy that at night a punitive detachment began to operate here. But the enemies already knew that there was a boy among the partisans, they were looking for him. And then they noticed ...
He was ordered to be taken alive. But Alyoshka was not going to give up. In the backyard he ran to the saving forest, hearing the tramp and screams behind him. And he probably would have run away, because he had good strength in his legs. But in the heat of the moment, he landed in a small swamp - and became a convenient target. The Nazis began to shoot at the hands and feet. From the last forces Alyoshka pulled out a grenade. Yes, I did not have time - a new shot burned my hand ...
The punishers who had come up already understood that they would not get any information from the boy by any torture. Therefore, they removed their great malice on him: they stamped their feet, beat them with rifle butts, and fired several shots. They needed to leave - the partisans approached, and the fascist detachment was small.
So our fighters discovered the marsh Alyoshka trampled into the shore. They also saw an automatic machine thrown at them in the same swamp so that they would not get to the enemies. They were going to bury the brave pioneer - and suddenly they heard that the heart was beating! Apparently, the fate, so evil did to the boy, at that moment relented. A real miracle happened: the fascist shot in the head, and the bullet went through the ear. For a long, long time, the partisans treated Alyoshka. Kolka was brought to him: he sobbed, barely seeing his older brother. He hugged, pressed his head, repeating "Live!". But the fifth year the child was just walking ...
Alesha recovered, stood up. But even the terrible thing that happened to him did not extinguish the courage and immense desire to fight for their native land and people. Again, the boy became a scout. And how! Once I noticed a German wrecked car with medicines. He took time off from the commander and set off. I was lost for a whole week, they were already looking for him, but to no avail. And the kid showed up alive and healthy. Yes, riding a horse, but with a carriage, and in it - and drugs, and grenades, and even a few machines! For the detachment it was not just help, but almost salvation, because there was a catastrophic lack of medicines. There was even alcohol in the cart.
In the meantime, the front was approaching - it was spring of the year 1944. Once the plane arrived in the detachment - for the wounded. And Alyoshka asked to pick up Kolka with the soldiers. He was very afraid for him. The partisans, of course, agreed.
The separation was very difficult. Alyosha kept on saying that everything would be fine, after the Victory he would find the little brother. Kolka wept bitterly and asked him to leave him, if not in the detachment, then in the village. It is impossible: there were fights. And the boy flew away.
... Alyoshka survived the war. Began to look for the little brother, but did not find any traces. That plane, soaring into the air, as if dissolved in the darkness of the night. But the boy was not going to give up. He did not want to believe that, saving Kolka, he unwittingly condemned him to death. I didn’t want to believe that it turned out the opposite: he, the eldest, went through all the battles, almost died, but he met the Victory, and the younger one, going to the rear, lost his life. No, this should not happen!
Maybe Alyosha would find a brother. Maybe he did not believe correctly. But only about this did not find out. Fate, having mercy on that terrible day in the swamp, corrected the good for evil. In November, 1945, Alyosha, fished with his friend. And a friend found an unexploded shell. I took it in my hands, I wanted to remove it, but I stumbled. Alyoshka, an experienced fighter, snatched a shell from the hands of a friend and threw it into the river. I managed to quit, but the projectile exploded in the air, flying very far away. The friend remained intact - Alyoshka thought not of himself until the last moment of his life and saved the lives of other people ...
