In the Borodyanka area, the BP-56, led by the 38-year-old senior lieutenant Pyotr Ishchenko, made a combat debut: 6 tanks of German invaders were destroyed by hurricane direct fire. At the Shemet crossing, the crew repelled the attack of the positions of the 14th Cavalry Corps near the village of Lozertsy, the 558th Infantry Regiment secured a retreat, completely eliminating the enemy's battery with merciless fire. BP-56 with its shells and the courage of the crew prevented the enemy from encircling the 1054th Infantry Regiment, in which the future classic of Ukrainian literature fought - Oles Honchar.
