From 1939 to 1941, the 10th border outpost was located at this place.
At 4:00 a.m. on June 22, 1941, the outpost, commanded by Second Lieutenant Mikhail Kuprianovich Ishkov, was shelled by enemy artillery and mortars.
The barracks and other wooden buildings of the outpost caught fire. The personnel occupied the defensive structures on alert. Having crossed the Western Bug River in the center of the outpost section, the Germans, using the folds of the terrain, tried to seize the border guards' stronghold on the move. But with the fire of machine guns of Sergeant Alexander Kruglov and Ivan Monodik, light machine guns of Nikolai Andreev, Mikhail Plotnikov and Peter Petrov, small arms, the border guards repelled the attack. Having suffered significant losses, the enemy retreated, but powerful artillery and mortar fire fell on the outpost.
Then the infantry attack began again. When the Germans came to a distance of 100—150m, the border guards opened fire. The enemy did not have time to recover, as the first chain was completely destroyed. Ordinary snipers Afanasy Ageev, Alexander Gusarov and Ivan Sokolov distinguished themselves in the battle. The Germans lay down and began to crawl forward. Then the border guards launched a counterattack. The Germans could not withstand the bayonet attack and, leaving the dead and wounded on the battlefield, ran... So the second attack was repulsed.
By 6:00 a.m., the stronghold was once again shelled. Then the observer Vladimir Krasnonosov reported that a second enemy group of up to a company had launched an offensive against the stronghold from the Warsaw Highway.
Soon, the Germans, having surrounded the outpost stronghold, tried to attack it from two directions. But the border guards thwarted this attack with small arms fire and grenades. Then the Germans subjected the outpost to a new artillery and mortar attack. And in the afternoon, knowing that a small group of border guards remained, the Germans issued an ultimatum — to stop resisting and surrender. When the border guards rejected him, the Germans launched another attack. Having superior forces, they blocked Ishkov's group, which was defending itself in a brick barn near the house of the command staff. Then the border guards went up in hand-to-hand combat. Many of them died in this battle, and the head of the outpost was killed.
Those who broke out of the encirclement, following the order of the head of the outpost, left the battle and began to retreat to the rear to the Boyarskaya Boiler House with the task of joining the Red Army units.
By nightfall, a small group remained from the outpost, occupying the defense in a brick barn, which the Germans took in a tight ring. At night, the enemy did not launch attacks, and at dawn the fighting resumed. This continued on June 23 and 24. When on June 25 the Germans were again refused another offer to surrender, they installed cannons and destroyed the last pocket of resistance of the outpost with direct fire.
In the Museum of the defense of the Brest Fortress, in the hall where the exploits of the border guards are told, there is an inscription: "This land was brought to the museum from the checkpoint of the border outpost. It is soaked in the blood of the border guards. True to their oath and military duty, the border guards of the 10th outpost fought with the enemy during the day. The personnel of the outpost died in an unequal battle with the Nazis."
