Story
Odessa is supplied with water from the Dniester River . The pump station is located in Belyaevka . The length of the conduit is about 40 kilometers.
In 1941, during the fighting Odessa was surrounded, Belyaevka captured. The city was left almost without water; its distribution was sharply limited.
In order to give water to the city, a special squad of daredevils was formed, which, having penetrated the rear of the enemy and captured the pump station in Belyaevka , turned on the water supply and held on for some time.
