These approximately 1,000 soldiers, with several tanks and strong mortar and artillery fire support, persistently defended the Pijesci-Gubavica area. At the same time, the 118th Reconnaissance Battalion conducted daily raids from Blagaj towards Kamena to support the forces near Pijesak. In the five-day battles with this enemy, the units of the 13th Brigade daily attacked the enemy or repelled their counterattacks. On November 2, the enemy withdrew to the Buna area (Mostar field), so the units of the 13th Brigade, on the same day, occupied the line G. Vranjevi\u0107i-Gubavica-Pijesci-Po\u010ditelj and, together with the units of the 12th Brigade, established a connected front across the Neretva River near Slip\u010di\u0107i, in front of the enemy&#8217;s &#8216;Green Line.&#8217; During the pursuit from Stolac to Gubavica, the 13th Brigade had 8 soldiers killed and 23 wounded&#8221; (among the casualties was Stevo Ra\u010di\u0107 from Zijemlje).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>*According to the data from the book Spomenica Mostara 1941-1945.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>STEVAN STEVO RA\u010cI\u0106, son of JEREMIJA, born on October 1, 1921, in Zijemlje near Mostar.

Until the formation of the 13th Herzegovina Brigade in May 1944, 827 fighters passed through the Battalion, and 445 of them perished, including 211 from Mostar. Of the 86 women, 43 were killed. Mostar residents also fought in many other units of the NOVJ (People's Liberation Army of Yugoslavia) and among the ranks of the activists of the National Liberation War in Mostar and other cities in Bosnia and Herzegovina... According to the records of the organization SUBNOR Mostar, every third citizen was an activist of the National Liberation War, 670 fighters were killed, 1517 were victims of fascist terror, and 206 were civilian war victims.

Those of us who were 17, 18 years old, some seemed old even though they were not older than 25. The ones over 30 were rare. There were girls and boys with different characteristics and temperaments, robust and calm, talkative and silent, recklessly brave and rational, ordinary and above-average, semi-literate and university-educated, workers and highly skilled craftsmen, high school students and university students, skilled singers and those who couldn't carry a tune, jokers and serious-minded individuals. From all our nations and religions: Muslims, Croats, Serbs, Jews, Orthodox Christians, Catholics, Muslims, Jews, atheists, and semi-atheists. Some were from straight from Mostar and others from the surrounding locations, from Konjic and outside Konjic.\" (Hercegovina Magazine No. 7, p. 238)\r\n\r\nGroups of new fighters arrived from Mostar every 10-15 days, and the Unit quickly grew into a solid military force. The guides for the groups from Mostar were Mehmed Arap, Vasa Maslo, Serif Buri\u0107, Husa Orman, Vojo Ivani\u0161evi\u0107, and Pero Krajina, who were among the bravest and most resourceful fighters. The groups regularly brought not only weapons but also medical supplies, sugar for the hospital, writing materials, large quantities of paper, books taken from the National Library (which formed the library at Borci), and other supplies for the needs of the Unit.
