In the last days of September, the division, in which Lobanov was, overcoming the River River, went to the Dnieper and began to prepare for crossing. We needed information about the location of the enemy firing points, about the presence of manpower and technology on the opposite shore.

The commander of the intelligence department, Sergeant Ivan Lobanov, received the task of crossing the shore and deliver the “language”. The group included, in addition to Lobanov, Nifakin, Pakhomov and four more fighters. At the appointed hour, the boat slipped silently into the water. They reached the opposite shore safely. Having landed, the scouts crawled into the shrub and began to listen to the night rustle.

The Germans were silent. Then Lobanov decided to call the enemy fire himself to find out his location. He ordered one of the fighters to return to the river and crawl along the coast, occasionally letting in the water of Blinka. Soon, a machine gun hit the surge of water very close. But, apparently, making sure that the river was calm, the German immediately stopped fire.

However, this was enough to find an enemy secret. Lobanov, along with other scouts, went to his rear, cut the communication wires. The German did not expect an attack. He was captured without a single shot and transported to the left bank. From the "language" the command received valuable information. Soon, the reconnaissance was set a new task: to force the Dnieper and gain a foothold on the shore occupied by the enemy, before the reinforcement approach.

The company began to prepare for the crossing. In dilapidated houses, boats were masked. On the nose of each, benches were made on which machine guns were installed in order to be more convenient to fire afloat. On the fifteenth of October, at midnight, boats with a landing group of scouts rushed to the right bank. On one of them, Sergeant Ivan Lobanov rode with his department.When there were several meters to the shore, Lobanov jumped out of the boat and, shooting from the machine gun, ran forward.

Other fighters followed his example. Having got out on land, the scouts lay down, and then crawled to the first trench. A fascist machine gun opened fire on their way. Then Lobanov crawled the Nazis from the flank and threw one, then the second grenade. Hearing the explosions, the scouts with a cry of "Hurray" rushed forward and broke into the first trench.

A short, fierce hand -to -hand fight. The Nazis could not stand the blow, retreated. Pursuing them, scouts took possession of the second trench. At the same time, one fascist was captured. Scouts took up defense. Having retreated, the enemy was still hoping to restore the situation. His furious counterattacks followed one after another. But everything is unsuccessfully.

Soviet scouts courageously held the bridgehead. A clear example for them was the commander of the department Ivan Lobanov, who personally destroyed fifteen fascists.

New units soon crossed the aid of scouts. The biography was prepared by:.
