Khanpasha Nuradilov: biography

Khanpasha was born in the territory of modern Dagestan in 1924. Since my childhood I worked hard with my family. In the village of Minai-Togai he was educated in primary school. For some time he worked in oil wells. He worked as a butterman. At the age of nineteen he was called into the Red Army. Practically from the first days of the beginning of the Great Patriotic War he fought at the front.

Baptism of fire

After the invasion of the German troops in the territory of the Soviet Union, the Red Army continuously retreated.

At that time, fighting units from the mobilized population and conscript soldiers were formed on an urgent basis. Khanpasha Nuradilov hardly reached nineteen when he was sent to the front line. He commanded machine-gunning in the cavalry division. Under normal conditions, the cavalry forces should not take part in restraining the breakthrough of mechanized formations. However, because of the difficult situation on all fronts, the command sent all available reserves to the defense of the Soviet land. The first battle with the occupants of Khanpasha Nuradilov took place in the steppes of Donetsk. In the coastal village of Zakharovka, his unit received an order to keep the defense. After a while, a massive shelling of the Red Army positions began. Behind him the infantry of the enemy went on the offensive.

In battle all the comrades of Khanpasha died. He was left alone and wounded. Confident that no one will resist them, the Germans went to seize the position. But the young man decided to continue the fight. Alone, he fired on the advancing infantry. A few hours later the German offensive is choking. The wounded Khanpasha destroyed one hundred and twenty Hitlerites and returned alive alive. The command was struck by the steadfastness and skill of the fighter. After all, the machine guns of that time were quite a complicated mechanism. To change the tape alone, to cool and clean them was extremely inconvenient, and the Red Army soldier was still injured ...

Soviet counteroffensive

Nuradilov Khanpasha Nuradilovich made a new feat in a year. Severe in the winter of 1942 Soviet troops on many sectors of the front went into a counteroffensive.

The subdivision of Nuradilov is located near the village of Tolstoy. It was necessary to come in conditions of extremely low temperature and high snow. At the same time, the Germans managed to dig in quite seriously and kept the defense well. During the raid on Hitler's trenches Khanpasha rushed ahead of the attackers with a machine gun and cleared the way for the infantry. Again, alone, he destroyed fifty Germans. In addition, he managed to destroy and four German machine-gun calculations, which was extremely difficult. After a successful offensive, the command presented Nuradilov to a combat order and promoted to rank.

The same winter, the forty-second division was sent to Kursk. In a small settlement Shchigry Nuradilov takes a heavy fight with the Hitlerite fighters of the Wehrmacht and the SS. During the battle, he gets wounded, and the gun goes out of order. Despite this, he again commits a feat, killing two hundred Germans.

And less than two months later, three hundred Nazis near Byrak village are dying at the hands of the Soviet machine-gunner. For these services, he is awarded another combat order.

Stalingrad

In the fall of 1942, one of the most bloody battles in the history of mankind is played out. German troops break through to the east, reaching the Volga. The last city on their way stops the offensive - Stalingrad. They send the best parts from all theaters of operations.

In September, Nuradilov Khanpasha Nuradilovich arrives in the city on the Volga. The fighting in this sector of the front is very different. Classic tactical schemes do not work here. Attack and defense are necessary in the conditions of city ruins and uninterrupted dense enemy fire. Prior to the famous battles in Stalingrad itself, no less bloody clashes took place in the vicinity.

Death of the hero

The city of Serafimovich Khanpasha Nuradilov took his last fight. Arriving in early autumn in the rank of commander of a machine-gun platoon, he was entrenched in the suburbs. The Nazis went into battle in the middle of the day with the support of aviation and artillery. Khanpasha got seriously injured. But once again I was left to fight to the end. To get to the Red Army, the Germans gave away two hundred and fifty lives of their soldiers. The wounded commander also destroyed two machine guns, and then fell. For this and other feats Nuradilov posthumously awarded the Star of the Hero of the Soviet Union.
