In March 1942, Hismatulla became a cadet at the 1st Moscow military machine Gun school, where he studied for six months. He served in the Red Army from August 10, 1942, He was a wiry, heavily built boy and turned out to be an excellent racon. He went for the ""informers"" more than once, performed other tasks of the command behind enemy lines. Once Gaifullin and four of his comrades-in-arms crept up unnoticed in a village captured by the Nazis, where they silently removed the sentries and, like ghosts, appeared in front of the astonished Germans. Later he delivered them to the Soviet side. Khismat was awarded the medal ""For courage"" for this operation. Gaifullin was the only survivor in the battle for station Lozova in Kharkiv region when the whole division was knocked out. A well-aimed shot of Gaifullin knocked out a tank that was going to smash Soviet positions. The second tank ""hesitated"" to act, and the third one turned back. The Commander of the 45-mm anti-tank gun Hismat Gaifullin got the Order the Red Star . In November 1943, when Soviet troops were liberating Kiev, a brave gunner was seriously wounded in the head. A shell that exploded nearby plunged him into oblivion, and he could not escape from it for several months. He was in hospitals in Voronezh, Saratov, Kazan, and underwent several severe operations. Only in the fifth month he began to feel the world around him. At the end of 1944, the crippled soldier returned to his native Old Tuymazy.
