1st Battalion, 2nd Regiment, 19th Tank Corps
Crimea, April 1944

The 19th Tank Corps participated in the liberation of the Crimea. The 19th Tank Corps were equipped with T-34's and light tanks, where the enemy had two brigades of assault guns: the 191st and 279th under the command of Major Mueller and Captain Hoppe (altogether the XVII German Army had 215 tanks and self-propelled guns, primarily the StuG III with 75mm cannons).

On 8 April 1944, Hero of the Soviet Union Captain Agibalov, in accordance with the orders of the commander of the 3rd Guards Rifle Division, and elements of the 19th Tank Corp, were ordered into the attack. The tankers and infantry, who had concentrated 1.6 km south of Turetskiy wall, attacked the enemy positions from the west to capture the town Armyansk. Several minutes after the launching of the attack the regiment encountered an unknown minefield. The sappers attached to the regiment designated for mine clearing were unable to clear the minefield due to heavy defensive fire from the Germans, forcing an advance through the un-cleared minefield. Three hours after the launching of the attack, the regiment managed to break through the enemy defenses, losing 1 burned-out tank, 3 damaged by mines, and 11 damaged by enemy gunfire. No personnel were killed, but 2 officers and 4 soldiers were wounded. The remaining operational tanks with an assault force from 3rd Guards Rifle Division reached the town Armyansk at 14:00 on 8 April. The regiment had accomplished its assigned mission. As a result of this battle, 11 pillboxes, 5 antitank guns, and up to 200 enemy soldiers and officers were destroyed.
