Must be from Bergstrom (BCRS which I consider a very poor source of accurate information)

Not only Bergstrom but other authots also put 15. IAP into Alytus/Olita. Which is wrong. I can 100 % agree that BCRS is very, very wrong source of information, plenty of errors, and false information etc. Some of data there are pure fiction or author's imagination. Not recommended.
236. IAP was "operational" regiment, it had got before 22.06.41 more then 20 I-153, from 15. and 31. IAP. Next should follow. And the last but not least, it had the first air combat on 22.06.41 over North-Western Front. During it had lost 3 I-153s shot dwon in combat with Me 109s of 5./JG 27 and III/JG 53. German had claimed 5 "I-15 and DJ-6".
Yes, it is possible in some time, but in Polish.
