More like "went ahead under enemy fire, making the [other] figters (soldiers) follow him he destroyed 3 German Soldiers."

That's what happens when I push translating for someone when I'm exhausted. At least we're all pushing in the same direction here and can help each other out. Lots more translation to do and so little sleep predicted... The typewriter that typed these citations seemed a little tired too.

The 57th Guards Rifle Division broke across the the Dniepr on the 23rd October, liberated Solenoe on the 26th and by the 30th they'd advanced right along the Mokraja Sura River (a distance of about 30 miles/50km). All of this is in the Dnepropetovsk Region.
