"Abdullayev fought in the Battle of the Caucasus, the Battle of Crimea, and the Battle of Kerch Peninsula. In one action he was wounded and sent to the hospital, but soon
returned to his unit. He became a battalion sanitary instructor in the
1339th Rifle Regiment of the 318th Rifle Division with the rank of Starshina. On 10 June 1943, he was awarded the Medal "For Courage" for his actions.
He fought in the Kerch-Eltigen Operation. On 1 November 1943, Abdullayev landed on the Kerch
peninsula near Eltigen with his unit. Under heavy fire, he reportedly
carried wounded off the battlefield, giving them treatment. During an
attack, the German troops came close to the positions, Abudullayev
reportedly advanced while throwing grenades, causing the German troops
to retreat and saving his wounded commander. While defending the
wounded, Abdullayev killed more German soldiers. On 5 November, he was
killed in action. Abdullayev was buried in the village of Eltigen. On 17
November, he was awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union and the Order of Lenin."
Another honored ally,
Brian
