Anton Gubenko, “Russian Kamikaze”

The war in the Far East once again thundered in the summer of 1937, when Japan invaded China. The fighting began in July 1937 and continued until the end of World War II. The help to the Republic of China was provided by the Soviet Union, which sent its military specialists to the country, including pilots. In March 1938, Anton Gubenko arrived in China, becoming one of the pilots of the Nanchang fighter aviation groups.

In the Chinese sky, he won several air victories, the most famous of which was the ram on May 31, 1938. This event made an indelible impression on the Japanese themselves, who dubbed the ramming pilot a “Russian kamikaze,” calling the pilot of another country “the son of the sacred wind” (kamikaze). The international press also wrote about the successful ramming: in Japan - with a certain fear and apprehension, in Germany - with indignation, in the UK - kindly, in Canada - with enthusiasm.



How Anton Gubenko came to aviation


Anton Alekseevich Gubenko was born on January 31 (February 12, according to a new style) in 1908 in the small village of Chicherino, located in the Volnovakhsky district of Donetsk region, into an ordinary peasant family, he is Ukrainian by nationality. Already in the early 1920s he moved to his brother in Mariupol, where he graduated from the seven-year plan, as well as the factory-apprenticeship school (FZU).

In these years, the life of Anton Gubenko was the ordinary life of a simple Soviet worker. At the same time, Anton was actively looking for his place in the world. In Mariupol, he managed to work at the railway station, as well as on the ships of the Azov Shipping Company. Six months later, he worked on the Black Sea coast of the Caucasus, being a dolphin hunter. In those years he was attracted by a thirst for travel and new experiences. From the Black Sea coast of the Caucasus, Gubenko again returned to Mariupol, where he worked as a mechanic's assistant for another six months until Anton noticed a newspaper article about recruiting pilots for school.


Anton Alekseevich Gubenko

The idea of ​​becoming a pilot captured the young man, and he wrote a statement to the Komsomol district committee asking him to be sent to a flight school. Already in May 1927, Anton Alekseevich arrived in Leningrad and entered the Leningrad military-theoretical school of pilots. After completing his studies in Leningrad in 1928, he entered the 1st Kachinsky Military Aviation Pilot School, which he successfully graduated in 1929.

As aviation major general Pyotr Stefanovsky noted, Anton Gubenko was not one of the light cadets, but he was very purposeful, striving ahead, ahead of the training program and always wanted and wanted to fly. According to Stefanovsky, Anton Gubenko knew the theory very well and flew superbly, which allowed him to make a successful career in the Soviet Air Force. Peter Stefanovsky believed that the qualities of Gubenko were innate, he was a pilot from God. At the same time, Anton never tired at the airport, which only confirms that he liked the business he was doing.

Best of all, the quality and aspirations of the young pilot reflects an episode from his training biography, which was described by Major General Stefanovsky. Making a landing after heavy rain, Anton Gubenko could not stop the plane, which rolled out of the runway and landed its wheels in a pit, after which it rolled over. For the pilot, this episode could end in death, but by and large it escaped with only fright. When the airport staff ran up to the plane, the pilot hung upside down on parachute belts. Instead of swearing and a perfect mat, which could be heard from a person in this situation, Gubenko calmly asked: "But the second flight will not go wrong?"

The beginning of an army career


After completing his studies at the flight school, Anton Gubenko went to serve in the Far East, where he gradually gained experience and skill. At the beginning of his service he was a junior and senior pilot, then a flight commander. In 1934 he became commander of an aviation detachment in the 116th fighter aviation squadron of the Moscow military district. After some time, he will become an instructor in the piloting technique of the aviation brigade and will be directly involved in the testing of new aircraft.


I-16 fighter type 5, which participated in the battles in China in 1938

In the summer of 1935, Anton Gubenko was appointed the leading pilot in conducting military tests of the new Soviet I-16 fighter. At the final stage of testing a new combat vehicle, Gubenko performed a flight aimed at identifying the ultimate loads of the fighter’s design. At the same time, the tests themselves were completed one and a half months ahead of schedule, and Anton Gubenko was awarded the Order of Lenin for the successful testing of a new combat vehicle in May 1936. In total, the future Hero of the Soviet Union took part in tests of 12 types and modifications of new Soviet aviation equipment.

At the same time, Gubenko not only flew on a new fighter, but also managed to make several rational proposals aimed at improving the quality of the combat vehicle, which were taken into account by the designers. At the same time, the command spoke flatteringly about Anton, calling him a pilot of a new, modern formation. By that time, there were 2146 aerobatics behind him, and the total flight time on different types of aircraft was 884 hours, during which time the pilot successfully made 2138 landings and had no accidents and breakdowns. At the same time, Gubenko was a very experienced parachutist-instructor, having made 77 jumps, 23 of which were experimental, and two more were made at night.

It is believed that in the 1930s Gubenko witnessed a plane crash when, during takeoff, the young pilot did not notice the plane in front of him and chopped off the tail of the front plane with a screw. The car received serious damage that would lead to a disaster in flight, and the plane of the culprit of the accident remained intact. What he saw led Anton Gubenko to the idea that such a "trick" could be cranked up in aerial combat, as the last and most extreme measure in the fight against the enemy.

Air ram on May 31, 1938


On March 13, 1938, Captain Anton Gubenko, as part of a group of Soviet pilots, was sent to China, which at that time was already at war with Japan. The Soviet Union sent the best and most trained combat pilots to China. In the Chinese sky, Gubenko fought as part of the Nanchang fighter group, led by Lieutenant Colonel Blagoveshchensky. Soviet volunteers had to not only fight with the Japanese, but also help the Chinese prepare national flight personnel, for which several flight and instructor schools were opened in China at once.

So for Anton Gubenko a new page of life opened up - participation in real hostilities. In the Chinese sky, a Soviet pilot fought from March to August 1938, having shot down 7 enemy aircraft during this time. So in the battle on April 29, 1938, reflecting the enemy air raid on the city of Hankou, Anton Gubenko saved his combat comrade Senior Lieutenant Kravchenko. During the battle, Gubenko noticed how a Japanese fighter was chasing a damaged Kravchenko plane and rushed to help, even though he himself had already run out of ammunition by this time.


Anton caught up with the Japanese fighter and maneuvering and imitating attacks managed to drive him away from the damaged comrade’s plane, after which he accompanied the fighter Kravchenko until the time of the emergency landing. And when on June 26, 1938, the I-15bis Gubenko fighter was shot down by the enemy and the pilot had to throw himself with a parachute, Kravchenko himself was already covering his comrade from attacks by the Japanese until the landing.

The most famous episode with the participation of a brave Soviet pilot occurred on May 31, 1938. On this day, at 10 a.m., as part of an I-16 fighter group, Captain Anton Gubenko flew out to intercept a large group of Japanese combat aircraft, numbering 18 bombers and 36 escort fighters. All Soviet and Chinese pilots took part in the reflection of this large-scale raid on Hankou. The battle in the sky started directly on the outskirts of the city.

Already at the end of the air battle, when Gubenko used up all the ammunition, he unexpectedly discovered the A5M2 fighter lagging behind the rest of the Japanese forces and decided to try to force him to land on the Chinese airfield. Having flown close to the enemy fighter, Gubenko tried to order him to land by signs, but the Japanese decided to break away from the Soviet fighter and leave. Having made a coup through the left wing, the Japanese fighter increased speed, but Anton caught up with the enemy and again repeated the demand. Most likely, at that moment, the Japanese pilot finally realized that his opponent did not even have ammunition and, ignoring his demands, quietly turned and flew in the direction he needed.

It was at this moment that Anton Gubenko decided to shoot down an enemy aircraft with a ram. Having flown close to the Japanese fighter, Gubenko propelled the enemy’s aircraft on the left wing aileron, as a result of which the A5M2 lost control and crashed to the ground, which was soon confirmed by the Chinese command. At the same time, the I-16 Gubenko did not receive serious damage and safely landed at the airport. The case received publicity in the press and was widely covered in China. For this air battle, Captain Anton Gubenko was awarded the Golden Order of the Republic of China, while Chiang Kai-shek held a personal meeting with the Soviet pilot, after which he hosted an evening reception in honor of the Soviet pilots, placing airmen in the best hotel in Hankou on the Yangtze River.

Death in a plane crash


During his stay in China from March to August 1938, Anton Gubenko made more than 50 sorties on I-15bis and I-16 fighters, having a total of 60 hours of combat flight. The pilot took part in 8 air battles in which he shot down 7 Japanese aircraft. After returning to the USSR, Gubenko was awarded an extraordinary military rank, while he immediately became a colonel. After conferring a new rank, Anton Alekseevich began preparing for admission to the Air Force Academy, but was immediately recalled before passing the exams and was sent by the Air Force Directorate to the Belarusian Special Military District on August 8, 1938 for further service as deputy commander of the district’s aviation.

In February 1939, Anton Alekseevich Gubenko was introduced to the rank of Hero of the Soviet Union for the courage and bravery shown in battles with the Japanese in the Chinese sky. Ahead, the brave Soviet pilot ace could have had a successful military career, but the commander valuable to the Soviet Air Force tragically died on March 31, 1939 in a plane crash that occurred during training flights with firing. He was buried in the Polish cemetery in Smolensk, in 1971 he was reburied in the square in memory of Heroes, located near the Smolensk fortress wall.

                The word FISH is not noticed?

                Fish oil - animal fat, contained in fish and obtained from fish - for example, from a large, weighing 1,3–2,2 kg, three-lobed fatty cod liver. It is found in large quantities in sea fish in the cold waters of the oceans - in mackerel, herring, and other fatty fish.

The base was intended to work in any latitude of the oceans. Whale production capacity allowed to process 75 whales per day total weight over 4 thousand tons, produce 1 tons of fat and 200 tons of whale flour with 100% utilization of raw materials. The cesspools “Soviet Ukraine” and “Soviet Russia” were the most powerful in the world.

That is, you can equate this with cannibalism. White monkeys didn’t seem to eat. And most of the tribes completely hunted them and ate themselves, and another hunter could have accidentally slipped a gape monkey inadvertently. In the Faroe Islands, from time immemorial, sheep have been bred. The extraction of whales in Chukotka is carried out in a brutal way. Whales are killed for 5-10 hours. The Chukchi were asked to give them large-caliber weapons, similar to the weapons of the American Eskimos. But figs to you, Native American hut.

The wounded bear turns into a cannibal, the wounded moose will soon die. A wounded whale can blow the Chukchi "kayak" to shreds. The same Moby Dick wounded destroyed 2 ships. They cannot kill a whale purely physically, it is very huge. You only need to get into the brain, and the whale simply does not substitute its head, therefore they torture him until he is weakened. And you can kill. Eskimos hunt with large-caliber weapons, and roofing felts with extended explosive bullets, like grenades. harpoon, came closer, a shot and brains turned into a mess. Hunting with a bow for elk, red deer, even small, even ultra-small people, is prohibited. And a hunting or fighting bow in our country can be made by only a few craftsmen. The Poles did not kill all the fugitives, And they saved many, and this is fraught with execution, here is your lie. And, unfortunately, there weren't many runaways.

The first was committed by junior lieutenant Chen Huaymin from the 4th air group of the Kuomintang Air Force, who on the I-15bis in a battle with five A5Ms on a frontal attack crashed into the Japanese The fiery explosion killed both pilots.
        In the same battle, Russian Lieutenant Shu Syde from the squadron of Captain E.M. Nikolayenko, piloting an I-16, struck the tail of a Japanese fighter. The possibility of rescuing Japanese pilots in a similar situation was already mentioned above, as for the Russian pilot, it can be assumed that he was either already wounded, or in a collision he lost consciousness due to a blow to the sight, since he did not attempt to use a parachute and later, his remains were found at the crash site of his fighter.

Shuster it is written the following: "Traditionally, Soviet sources included ram after Lieutenant Lev Shuster from the squadron of Captain E. M. Nikolaenko However, this is clearly a post-war version of political workers, since the memoirs of Soviet volunteers in China literally say the following: “Young pilot Shuster died in a battle with Japanese fighters. When attacking the enemy at close range, he did not calculate the exit from the attack and collided with the Japanese. "
          These events occurred on April 29, 1938.
          In the skies of China, Lieutenant Alexei Zakharovich Dushin from the squadron of Captain A.S. Blagoveshchensky, who had already won one victory in battle, also tried to ram a Japanese car. However, the Japanese pilot managed to dodge in time. "

            in two years, 37-39, 8 rams were made - 2 by the Japanese and 3 by the Chinese and Soviet "volunteers". It is difficult to understand which of them was an unintentional collision and which was a deliberate ram. We can judge all of them by the interpretation of propaganda. It is simply customary to consider all collisions in the air as a ram, including piloting errors.

    February 18, 38th - Chinese comrade Ding Chen rams a Japanese on an I-15 during a raid on Formosa

    April 29, 38th - Jr. Huaymin over Hankou, during a Japanese raid on Mikado's birthday, being surrounded by 5 Japanese, he rammed "head to head" with his I-15.

    And, by the way, on the same day, April 29, a month before Gubenko's "kamikaze", a Soviet pilot with the non-title name Shuster rammed it. Lev Zakharovich, unfortunately, died. OBKZ posthumously.

    well, and the "famous" ram on August 19 of the 37th Chinese pilot with a surname that will be censored here when he sent his Northrop Gamma to the cruiser Izumo in the Hanzhou Bay. However, this, I think, is a spirit-lifting myth, since old Izumo lived until 1945.

    On July 10, 1941, in the village of Edvabne, the Poles committed a brutal pogrom of Jews, killing several hundred people, and burned the rest alive. More than 1500 Jews, including women and children, died in Edwabna

      It was not a pogrom, but a massacre. The same thing happened in at least 24 settlements of western Belarus and Ukraine with a mixed Polish-Jewish population immediately after leaving parts of the Red Army in June-July 1941.

      Since 1939, Poles took an initiative in trapping Polish Jews in the territory of the Governor General of the Third Reich, and after being liberated from German occupation in 1945, they carried out pogroms in the places of residence of Jews returning from exile. Since 1948, a state policy was carried out to expel Polish Jews to the state of Israel.

      After the extermination of Jews in 1941 on the border territories, the Poles took up the Belarusians and Ukrainians, which ended in 1943 with the return massacre of the Poles. Bilateral genocide stopped only after the resettlement of the Poles from the border regions to the west, and of Belarusians and Ukrainians to the east in 1947.

          I apologize, but it seems to me that it’s not right to reduce everything to nationality. It seems to me here and class affiliation is important. He was a Polish fist, had to become a collective farmer, who is to blame? Of course, Russians, Jews, Communists. He was a landowner, bent all, had to hide, who is to blame? After independence, in the Baltic States announced the return of property to former owners. So thousands were pulled from abroad. Now tell me who chased and killed. I think offended at the USSR, but omitted. And ordinary people helped. Although it was dangerous. And the partisans or scouts were unlikely to go to the richest house in the village to question the situation.

    The article is interesting, but the name is unsuccessful. It is not worth calling the Soviet hero pilot by such a word as “kamikaze,” even in quotation marks,.
    Kamikaze is a zombie suicide bomber, Gubenko doesn’t fit this definition, and I doubt very much that the Japanese called him that.

    First, the Japanese only got kamikaze in late 1944, when Vice Admiral Onisi Takijiro, the commander of the first air fleet in the Philippines, proposed the creation of combat units for suicide bombers. He called them "simpu tokubetsu kogekitai", which means "divisions of the divine wind." but not "kamikaze" - the word was invented by the Americans.
    Secondly, the so-called pilots who attacked warships.

      of course they didn't. I suspect that they did not even know his last name, since Soviet "volunteers" fought under pseudonyms and their participation was not advertised either by us or by the Kuomintang. And the passage about the fact that the Japanese went into ecstasy from his ramming and trumpeted something in the press ... and even calling it "kamikaze" is absolutely outrageous nonsense.

    I have not heard of this pilot. For some reason we have "distortions" in history: at one time, contemporaries knew and admired, but we "safely" forgot.
    For example: we will be able to recall a lot of Russian pilots during the WWI, except for Nesterov, and fighter pilots of the 30s.
    "The Soviet Union sent the best and most trained combat pilots to China," probably, they were marked with government awards and their names flashed on the pages of newspapers, and now we have forgotten about them.

    And I’ll say why I didn’t hear it, Vladislav! I didn’t write about how we helped China and Spain at that time for a wide range of readers. Although there was literature, reports, for specialists. Their names did not flash anywhere! Everything is a secret. Stalin knew that war was approaching. Somehow it was necessary to gain experience.
    On the topic of China --- in this century, the books of Demin. Only in this century is a large thick book for the first time with all surnames, ranks, participation in hostilities

      This is not entirely true: yes, the Soviet Union did not advertise the aid, although it was an open secret, the names of the recipients were published. Then there was a special wording: "for the successful completion of a special task of the government."
      As for Soviet aid to China, there were quite a few publications on this topic, but when Soviet-Chinese relations deteriorated, such publications became therefore undesirable. There is a book by Okorokov: "Russian trace in" Celestial Empire ", all the materials of the" boxing uprising "are collected there.
