Begovac (known as Begovac Plaščanski until 1991) is a village in the Lika region of Croatia, in the municipality of Saborsko, Karlovac County.
History
[edit]On 10 April 1941, while the Royal Yugoslav Army was withdrawing south by a passenger train, while stopped at Blato the Regia Aeronautica bombed the train, resulting in many dead and wounded. The villagers helped transport the wounded to the hospital in Ogulin: major Tihomir Oklobdžija, farmer Pavao Kostelac and the conductor Matija Pintar.[3]: 347
On 4 July 1942, Partisans destroyed 450 metres (1,480 ft) of track between Blato and Lička Jesenica. Italian soldiers arrived from Plaški on an armoured train and the Partisans retreated.[4]
On 1–7 and 8 September, Partisans destroyed about 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) of railway between the Blato-Lička Jesenica and Javornik[a] stations. They burned 4 railway guardposts between Blato and Lička Jesenica and destroyed the water pump in Lička Jesenica. Italian railway guard troops engaged the Partisans in a 2 day battle. The Partisans killed 1 and wounded 8. After the Partisans left, it was estimated the repairs would take several days.[5]
