Short translation of the research:

While being a canon commander of 76 battery of 91 guardian rifle division and 33 guardian rifle division, comrade Lunga Grigoriy Zinovievich had mission to destroy enemy fortified position and suppress enemy fire positions, which precluded further moving of ally forces.

When the canon gunner was killed by enemy artillery fire, comrade Lunga took his place and suppressed fire position by sharp shoot and gave the possibility on successfully relocation of ally infantry. Enemy bombard squad were taken into captivity and 4 pieces of artillery were taken as trophies

While completing the mission of forcing river M. Krinki comrade Lunga with his canon was supporting offensive actions of infantry and personally hit two armed vehicles and one enemy tank

In battles he got severe injury
