With a swift assault, the assault group reached the enemy artillery positions. Wasting no time, Roditelev ordered an attack on the artillerymen. In the ensuing hand-to-hand combat, he personally killed six Nazis. Unable to withstand the onslaught of the Soviet fighters, 25 German soldiers surrendered, the rest fled, leaving behind 15 heavy guns. A few minutes later, the Nazis attempted to recapture the abandoned guns. The sappers repelled three counterattacks and held the artillery positions until the main forces arrived. In this battle, a group of sappers under the command of Roditelev killed up to 40 Nazis and captured 15 serviceable heavy guns. The next day, April 8, Roditelev and twelve sappers blew up an enemy pillbox, cleared six city blocks of Nazis, and captured up to 200 soldiers and officers.
