"During the later phase of Operation Bagration, the division advanced
into Poland. During the breakthrough at the village of Rynek-Ostrov on 3
September, Abdullayev reportedly enabled the advance of his company
with fire from his machine gun.
During the advance, his unit reportedly ran into 60 submachine gun and
three machine gun positions. Abdullayev reportedly bypassed the German
positions from the left flank and opened fire. The company reportedly
attacked as a result of the diversion. During the battle, Abdullayev
reportedly killed 29 German soldiers, captured two machine guns, mortars
and ten rifles. On 4 September Abdullayev was reportedly one of the first in his unit to cross the Narew at Dworskie south of Różan. He reportedly covered the crossing of his company with machine gun
fire. Abdullayev was wounded while repulsing German counterattacks and
his machine gun was disabled. He reportedly used grenades to destroy two
firing points and then captured a machine gun, opening fire with it.
After recovering from his wound in the hospital Abdullayev returned to
his unit. He fought in the East Prussian Offensive and was killed on 26 January 1945. He was buried on the southern outskirts of Furstenau. On 24 March 1945 Abdullayev was posthumously awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union and the Order of Lenin".
Another honored ally,
