Aiviekste forcing II WW2
Part of the battle of the 130th Latvian Corps of the Red Army in Vidzeme in August 1944 (Commander Major General Detlav Brantkalns).
One of the plans to attack the 2nd Baltic Front in early August 1944 was called "Razgrom", and it was planned to arrive in Riga in about 10 days from the Lubāna area. These were also peculiar baptisms of fire for the 130th Latvian Rifle Corps, which for the first time in the territory of Latvia on August 2-6, 1944 went on the offensive in the north-east of Steķi, in the direction of Medņi-Antuži and reached the left bank of Aiviekste. On August 7 and 8, 1944, units of the 130th Latvian Rifle Corps successfully took part in the attack of the 22nd Soviet Army on Krustpils. After the capture of Krustpils, the subdivisions of the 130th Corps forced Aivieksti on August 10 and established a bridgehead on the right bank of the river. After the relatively easy success of the 130th Latvian Rifle Corps in capturing Krustpils and forcing Aiviekste, bloody battles near Vietalva followed. The battles of the 130th Latvian Corps in the Vidzeme Highlands, which lasted from 17 to 24 August and ended with the capture of Vietalva, were particularly severe.
Forcing water barriers. Overcoming water obstacles (rivers, canals, reservoirs, lakes, straits) where the enemy has become fortified on the opposite shore.
