That's not what the Paratrooper #1 General Margelov had thought:

(http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9C%...B2%D0%B8%D1%87)

Он категорически отверг установку на удержание захваченного десантом района до подхода наступающих с фронта войск методом жёсткой обороны как пагубную, ибо в этом случае десант будет быстро уничтожен.
