Which Volchansk?
I have a Tomarovka 20 km WNW of Belgorod, and a Volchansk which is a. 44 km SE of Belgorod (and some 60 km NE of Kharkov). I think those are the places we are dealing with, since Tomarovka was in 2 VA's area of operations, and AFAIK, 269 IAD was subordinated to 2 VA by that time.
By the way, you don't happen to know the Soviet air unit which on the same day, 17 March 1943, attacked Zaporozhye Airdrome, knocking out five Ju 88s of I./KG 51 and 3.(F)/121, and a Hs 129 from Panzerjägerkommando Weiss?
Did you know that I./JG 52's 30-victory ace Lt Hans-Werner Schneider was shot down and killed by a La-5 near Volchansk on the next day (18 March 1943)? You don't happen to know which La-5 pilot(s) that claimed one or more victories against Bf 109s in that region on that day?
