In the early days of the war, Grigory Ageev (1902-1941) began to create a people's militia from miners, whose goals included fighting enemy saboteurs, rocket men, work on neutralizing enemy bombs, and destroying fascist leaflets. As the front approached the borders of the Tula region, Ageev proposed to unite the battalions of the people's militia and create a consolidated detachment with a single headquarters. The district committee of the party entrusted the leadership of the combined detachment of the extermination battalions of Cherepet miners and mine builders to Grigory Antonovich Ageev. And when the Tula Workers' Regiment consisting of five battalions was created in Tula on the basis of fighter battalions and militia detachments, Anatoly Gorshkov was appointed its commander. On October 30, German tanks began attacking the defensive line of the workers' regiment on the southern outskirts of the Rogozhinsky settlement. the village of Krasny Perekop.
