Komsomol member! Have you mastered the technique of bayonet combat, learned to shoot accurately and throw grenades?
THE RUSSIAN BAYONET
Suvorov taught Russian soldiers: "Shoot rarely but accurately. Thrust with the bayonet surely." Three German submachine gunners hid behind a fence. Komsomol member Zuev stepped toward them, bayonet ready. Germans, to tell the truth, are not cowards — Soviet soldiers have seen this. But in close combat, when victory is at stake, the German retreats.
No one has withstood the Russian bayonet attack. Neither do fascist companies. Reports from the front tell us again and again: the Germans flee when they see sharp Soviet bayonets, to the thundering Red Army cry of “Ura!”
Ten soldiers under Barabanov's command went into a bayonet charge. Ten fascists remained. Brave Red warriors charge the enemy with bayonets. The enemy meets them — and sharpens bayonets in return.
The mighty bayonet is the symbol of our hatred toward the weapons of German rage.
We know: the German soldier who drops his automatic weapon drops everything. Dropping the gun, he abandons his boots, his trousers, and his coat.
Only he who is raised on the example of his fathers, who masters all types of combat — bayonet, firearms, grenades — is a worthy defender of Stalin and our Soviet motherland.
I am ready to fight the enemies of the motherland!
Bayonet charge is a thunderstorm!
Fascist troops are on the run:
Their ancient habit still remains —
To flee the Russian bayonet!
THE AIRFIELD IS ALWAYS READY
Great responsibility fell on the shoulders of the junior commanders of the airfield unit. They had to immediately adjust their operations to a combat rhythm.
The location had long been remote. But at any hour of the day, aircraft must be ready for combat takeoff.
Day and night, the squad works to prepare the air regiment's trump card. A flat, firm, well-camouflaged landing site — this is the pilot’s primary concern.
The squad under Sergeant Mamaev is among the best. At the first call, they deploy to carry out their mission — Red Navy man Mamaev, jumping from the airfield truck, quickly assembled his large team, cleared the landing site and camouflaged it. In the most difficult areas — Ugly, Gordeyevka, Ugory station — the men showed stamina and perseverance. It’s no surprise that command and the party organization speak of the squad as highly disciplined.
Often the squad built airstrips under fire. Shells burst overhead, but the men completed their task swiftly.
Good work deserves good praise.

(Evening report for August 7)
Throughout August 7, our troops continued fierce battles with the enemy on the Kestkovsky, Kholm, Smolensk, and Belaya Tserkov directions. In some sectors, no significant combat occurred.
Our air force, in coordination with ground troops, continued to strike at the enemy's motorized units and airfield targets. On August 6, 39 German aircraft were destroyed. Our losses were 19 aircraft.
Updated reports confirm that during the night of August 6–7, 18 German planes were downed in the air raid on the military base near Mogilev station — not 12 as previously reported — with 9 confirmed destroyed.
TO THE DEFENSE FUND
The creation of the national defense fund grows each day.
Recently, this issue was discussed at a Komsomol meeting of the factory training school. It was decided: to donate personal savings given as a reward for excellent study to the defense fund.

SOLDIERS LOVE THEIR AGITATOR
Komsomol member Anifrovsky is preparing to join the Communist Party. Recently, a political officer assigned him to carry out agitational duties.
The young agitator quickly earned the respect of Red Navy men. He uses every spare minute to read newspapers aloud, holds talks about current events and goals of the Patriotic War.
Agitator Anifrovsky shows no great love unless he loves the fighters and knows the newspaper — for the sailors off watch.
Men in his unit are always up to date on the news.

OUR “COMBAT BULLETINS”
From the first days of the Patriotic War, our wall press has improved greatly.
“Combat Bulletins,” which used to be published once or twice a week, now appear daily, sometimes twice a day. They’re posted at the front, on the ship, and on shore — at any position.
Our bulletin is illustrated by fighters with a deft artistic touch. These bulletins are like mosaic tiles for a larger picture. They raise morale and serve an educational mission. People’s Commissar of Defense Timoshenko said, “The greatest task of commanders and political workers is to instill unshakable confidence in victory.”
The newspaper has based all its work on this idea. In a short time, it has gained immense authority.
We achieved this through solid organization: we don’t jump from task to task or break away from daily duty.
Our wall press is a tribune for patriotic feeling and military camaraderie. It motivates for battle and discipline.
Fighter participation increased sharply when the newspaper covered Hero of the Soviet Union comrade Rogachyov’s actions. Two issues were dedicated to this. Responses came from Lebedev’s squad, comrade Zaitsev’s unit, comrade Zinkevich’s men, and others.
Materials on discipline and combat readiness were enthusiastically received. As a result, there were no disciplinary cases in the past week.
The paper resonates broadly. It’s archived, read on watch, in meetings, in the mess, on land and frontline outposts.
Many fighters contribute actively. They are not afraid of self-criticism and approach matters sincerely. They understand: don’t brag — help the commander. As a result, disciplinary infractions dropped sharply last week.
The wall press is the mirror of our combat and political life. It is our comrade in arms — and with it we march to glorious victory!
SATIRE CORNER
MARCHING CHASTUSHKI (comic folk rhymes)
Sing, chastushka, like a gun,
Ring out like a nightingale,
We’ll belt out marching chastushkas
To the accordion’s wail!
Hitler meant to beat us fast —
Ten days or maybe twenty.
But to spite him, we’ll add more time —
Let him tremble aplenty!
Now we’ve begun to win the fight.
To Berlin we march, hooray!
Hey Hitler, where’s your mighty host?
Your Messerschmitts flew away!
Something’s roaring through the sky?
Our pilot's mad with rage!
When our navigator locks on,
The Messerschmitt ends its stage!
A German peeks from an embrasure —
We shout “Godspeed!” — and fire!
A bullet sings straight to his heart —
A message in hot wire!
Tomorrow we’ll tease Fritz again —
Better bring the machine gun!
No peace for the foe in battle
Or in the swamp, or the sun!
The enemy blocked our front gate —
No thanks for his visit.
Give him a biscuit, then kick him out —
Let him vanish like a misfit!
The German once posed as a brother —
Now they flee and even cheer us.
Wherever the fascist dares to go,
He scurries back in fear.
The enemy comes — a fierce new day!
Morning blast — the airfield gone.
Without a strike, he’ll never pass —
Through five defenses, none.
Strike him in the tailbone’s mark —
Bright dreams break from the air.
Our paratroopers march with you —
Brave are the people there.
