There were legends about Tuleugali Abdybekov on all fronts, the enemies were afraid of him and called him "the black death". Tuleugali Abdybekov was born in 1916 in the family of Abdybek Nasyrkhan in the Zharma district of the Semipalatinsk region. His father taught him to shoot accurately, to patiently track down prey, to endure hardships. And now the fame of the young hunter - tracker Tuleugali Abdybekov passes from aul to aul. His hunting trophies amaze seasoned hunters and aksakals. In 1941, the Great Patriotic War began. In May 1942, a group of recruits from the Chimkent region, in which Tuleugali was also, arrived at the Kalinin Front, where the famous division named after Hero of the Soviet Union, Major General I.V. Panfilov, took up defense. The command of the 1077th regiment, having thoroughly studied the replenishment, placed the fighters taking into account their characteristics and capabilities. Upon learning that Abdybekov was a hunter, he was handed a rifle with a telescopic sight. Fighting days began. ... There were battles for the height. They lasted over a week. During these days, the sniper Abdybekov killed 19 enemies. The height was recaptured, but the Germans launched a counterattack. 25 enemy soldiers head straight for the Tuleugali trench. 25! And he is alone. Is this death? No ! Let the enemy die. The sharp-sighted eye of the steppe-hunter is leaning towards the optical sight. Here he is - the enemy, very close. This is an officer. Abdybekov knows how to beat for sure. A shot rang out, a shot through the enemy falls into the snow. Thuleugali takes aim again, and another falls, then another, and so on. The Germans are scared. They scamper to the sides, cannot understand where the sniper is shooting from, and in panic they shoot anywhere. And the sniper slowly and methodically sends one bullet after another. 25 Fritzes were walking to the foot of the hill. Now there are only three left. Tuleugali killed the 23rd 60 meters from his trench. And only two miraculously managed to escape. On this day, as comrades said, Tuleugali sent 35 fascist invaders to hell in hell. The news of his feat spread throughout the Kalinin Front, and this became known far beyond its borders. Here are some details of the combat work of the well-aimed shot master Abdybekov. On the first day of hostilities outside the city, Tuleugali Hill personally destroyed 17 enemies. On the second day, the sniper sat down in a wrecked tank and shot at close range the Germans who were accumulating for a counterattack. The result of this day is 58 exterminated enemies. The third day again changed the battle situation. At night the Germans launched a counterattack. The sniper's score has increased by another 29 destroyed enemies. "As long as they see my eyes and my hands are holding the rifle tightly, there will be no life for the fascists," the sniper says. In a brief report of the hostilities of the 8th Guards Rifle Division in 1942, it was noted that by the 2nd rally of the division's snipers in December 1942, senior sergeant Abdybekov had already killed 219 fascists.

Machine-gun fire from the enemy pillbox pushed our soldiers to the ground. Postolnikov saw his comrades fall under dagger fire. The decision was made instantly: a sharp rush to the pillbox, and his body covered the embrasure. The soldiers rushed to the attack with redoubled fury. The enemies were driven out of the village. Tuleugali Abdybekov grieved the death of his friend. At the funeral of Grigory on January 23, 1944, he takes an oath: "I, your brother, Kazakh Tuleugali Abdybekov, swear over your holy grave that I will mercilessly avenge the fascist monsters for your death, for the blood of Soviet people, for the grief and tears of our wives and mothers. . " During the days of the winter offensive of 1944, he was always in front, in the most critical areas, his well-aimed shots terrified and panicked enemies. The best German snipers hunted for him, but Tuleugali individually destroyed them. On the eve of the anniversary of the Soviet Army, a duel took place - a duel with another enemy sniper. At this time, Tuleugali had a bad cold, he was not well.The German beat him for a moment, and the first bullet hit Abdybekov, but the mortally wounded Tuleugali still managed to take revenge: the German sniper was killed on the spot by the last shot of the hero - the Kazakh. It was the 397th enemy entered into the personal combat account of the famous shooter. And the last ... On February 23, 1944, on the day of the Soviet Army, Tuleugali Abdybekov died of his wounds and was buried northeast of the Nasva station of the Novo - Sokolniki district of the Kalinin region. For military exploits, Abdybekov Tuleugali Nasyrkhanovich was awarded the Orders of the Red Star, the Red Banner, posthumously - the Orders of the Patriotic War of the 1st degree and of Lenin. The command did not present him for the title of Hero of the Soviet Union only because Tuleugali honestly wrote in his biographical questionnaire that his uncle Kemelbai was repressed. Distrust of Tuleugali and suspicion followed the questionnaire, crushed and tore at the soul ... The warrior - the hero Abdybekov deeply loved his homeland, he was faithful to the military oath to the end, he valued the title of Guardsman - Panfilov's soldier.

CITY: der. Staronya Pskov region DATE OF BIRTH: 01.01.1913 DATE OF DEATH: 01.04.1944 HISTORY: Type of troops: Armored and mechanized troops .My great-grandfather Andreev Ivan Klimentievich, born in 1913, a native of the village of Staronya, Karamyshevsky district of the Pskov region, until 1941 was just husband and father of four girls, one of whom was my grandmother Romanova (Andreeva) Nina Ivanovna. In the first days of the 1941 war, Ivan Klimentyevich was called upon to defend his homeland, he was sent to the Leningrad front. He served as a tanker, defended the approaches to Leningrad. In 1943, Ivan Klimentievich went to his sister and asked to give his photograph (which we have preserved) to his wife and children. "We went into battle" were his last words. After that, there was no news from him. Already in 1946, great-grandmother Marusa received a notice: "Your husband, Private Andreev Ivan Klimentyevich, born in 1913, a native of the village of Staronya, Karamyshevsky district of the Pskov region, while at the front of the fight against the German invaders, disappeared in April 1944". Great-grandfather was from a large family. Their family had 7 children (4 brothers and 3 sisters) - Alexey, Vasily, Ivan, Eugene, Pelageya, Galina and the younger Petya. His father Andreev Klimenty Andreevich lived in Leningrad with his youngest son, where they lived during the blockade. Peter died during the war and is buried in Leningrad. Then their father also died, and it is not known where he was buried (it was not found in all documents). Only one of the brothers, Vasily, returned from the war, without a leg, but alive, but he did not live long. The war brought so much pain, bitterness and death to every family of our vast Motherland, but we have always remained and must remain a united people. Even in those difficult years, people were united by a single impulse against a common enemy. When, without any call, not only men, but also old people, children and women took up arms. When any woman knew that she was fighting for a calm motherhood, the well-being of children, for peace for a new person.

DATE OF BIRTH: 01.01.1915 DATE OF DEATH: - HISTORY: Title: Captain. Vasily Andreevich Andreev was drafted into the army in October 1936. He served in Kingisepp after graduating from the regimental school in Strelna. The service continued until December 1938, when the demobilization took place. Since 1939, Vasily Andreevich studied at the Tank-Technical School. The program was intense, 10-12 hours of classes every day. While he was studying, the school was reorganized into an automobile school. In April 1941, a forced release took place. Vasily Andreevich was sent to Novgorod Volynsky, where he formed a reconnaissance company, then ended up in the 35th auto regiment. Novgorod-Volynsky seemed to Vasily Andreevich to be a complete backwater, where even local girls came to dances barefoot. He slept through the beginning of the war as a messenger has not yet been assigned to him. Arriving in the morning in the officers' mess, he was surprised that there were very few people there. It was then that he was told that the war had begun. The regiment was disbanded, and Vasily Andreevich ended up in the reserve, from which he was transferred to tank units - the 90th tank brigade. Then - the 41st Guards Tank Brigade, which fought on the Kharkov-Stalingrad direction. The most striking episodes of this period of the war were described by Vasily Andreevich during his last visit to Leningrad, already in the midst of perestroika. They refer to the final stage of the Battle of Stalingrad. In particular, he spoke about how he was removed from the command of a tank company due to the fact that Vasily Andreyevich ordered to charge the batteries, and did not send the company to the cinema. For this he was exiled to the Observation Point, but soon (after a few hours) he was rehabilitated due to the fact that the new commander was killed during the battle for the height. The company left the battle without a commander. They had to enter the battle on another, not quite serviceable tank, which was soon knocked out, and Vasily Andreyevich himself was wounded. After that, he was summoned to a special department, interrogated, but rehabilitated. Again ordered to lead the company to the attack. Interacting with 4 medium tanks, it was necessary to take the height. Vasily Andreevich had a heavy tank, with this in mind, the medium tanks kept a little behind, but the height was taken. The episode at the Voroponovo station near Stalingrad was remembered by Vasily Andreyevich for the trophy stew. In the area of ​​this station there was an airfield and a large concentration of German cars. We made some stew at the dugouts. Vasily Andreevich sent his radio operator to the brigade on the Stalin car-making plant-5. They destroyed a convoy of German cars, first knocking out the first and last cars. The station was taken, but then left by order. They refused lunch, taking only bread. We ate stew. At the final stage of the struggle for Stalingrad, 11 tanks were restored and buried in the direction from which Manstein was expected to attack (to break through to Paulus). However, Manstein did not reach here, he was smashed at a decent distance from them. On January 27, 1943, during the battle for the village of Peschanka, Vasily Andreyevich's tank was hit, but it was not hopeless for the vehicle itself. The shell damaged the wiring, causing the tank to lose speed. The crew that got out of the car came under fire. Vasily Andreevich was severely cut with shrapnel in his legs. After this serious injury, Vasily Andreyevich was sent to the Ulyanovsk Tank School for health reasons, where he served until 1945. And on January 31, Field Marshal Paulus and all his generals surrendered. For his services at different stages of the first half of the Great Patriotic War, Vasily Andreevich was awarded the Order of the Red Star and the Order of the Patriotic War, 2nd degree.

Rank: Red Army soldier. Type of troops: Artillery. In the fall of 1943, German troops set up two defensive lines (Panther and Tannenberg) near the city of Narva. In early February 1944, Soviet troops reached the border of the Narva River, and only in the middle of summer, after fierce battles, was the Narva operation prepared, which provided for the crossing of this river and the capture of the city of Narva by storm. The Supreme Commander allotted two days to complete this task. A week before the crossing of the water barrier, the army headquarters urgently needed a "tongue" - a captured German officer. The command needed accurate information about the enemy's fortified area. In the deep night of July 20, two signal flares soared into the sky from the enemy side. Soviet and German troops were divided by the water belt of the Narva River. Our side accepted the prearranged signal and began to prepare its man for a special task. A day ago, a group of scouts, ferried by boat across the river, captured a German officer and, following the order, gave a prearranged signal. Sergeant Major Porfiriev lined up his company and asked which of the soldiers could swim. Of the few guys who responded, he opted for Fyodor Ionichev. The fighter was taller than others in stature, strong build. Before sending him for instructions to the commander's dugout, he asked: - Drowned at least once? - There was a case, comrade foreman. - Then everything is all right, you will come. You don't burn in fire, you don't drown in water! The regimental commander gave the last instructions to the young soldier: - You will cross in a boat to the enemy side, take a German on board and quickly return. The scouts will remain in place for another assignment. What they should do next is indicated in this package, give it to the group commander. The colonel gave his hand and as if casually asked: - Swim, if anything, can you at least know how? - I grew up on the Volga, comrade commander, - the soldier smiled. The boat on which the reconnaissance group was transported a day ago was launched. Pushing the package with the order into his bosom and tightening his waist belt tighter, Fyodor sat down on the bench and struck with the oars along the calm surface of the river. In the darkness of the night Fyodor was guided by the river current. Keeping the boat's course at a slight angle against the water rush, he had already begun to distinguish the outlines of the opposite bank when the enemy opened artillery fire. The shell dropped a few meters from the boat. A huge column of water instantly turned the small boat over, and the stunned fighter found himself in the water. The boat was carried away by the current, and Fedor, having lost all hope of her salvation, slowly swam to the shore. The scouts helped the soldier climb the steep bank, and everyone hid for a while in the coastal bushes. They were waiting for the end of the shelling. Passing a wet, but preserved package to the commander, Fyodor looked at the plump German Hauptmann. - We have been ordered to stay here, and you will have to swim with the "tongue", I see no other way out, - said the elder. We made a small raft. The material for this was the flexible twigs of coastal bushes. The dawn broke. The soldiers descended to the river and threw a fragile plexus into the water, more like an ordinary mattress than a reliable floating craft. The German was untied and loaded onto a raft. Fyodor pushed the raft away, and he swam alongside, directing the "tongue" towards the opposite shore. Almost in the middle of the river, a sharp pain suddenly gripped my left leg. He rested on the raft, which, unable to withstand the double weight, began to sink. Frightened for the life of a valuable "tongue", Fedor for a moment let go of the wicker structure, and it began to move away from the soldier downstream. If it were not for the leg, a few powerful hand strokes would have been enough to catch up with the missed raft, but the unbearable pain deprived of physical strength, and the helpless body pulled to the bottom of the river. - I fought back, and missed the "tongue". - Rus, rus, nein. The German was still shouting something in German and rowing desperately with both hands, trying to get closer to the drowning man. Swimming up to the drowning man and, grabbing him, he began to hold him afloat. Fyodor intensively massaged the calf of his leg with his hands, and the pain gradually eased. We sailed to the location of the Soviet troops when it was almost dawn. On the shore, they were met by soldiers led by a lieutenant. - Well done, what a good fellow! - patting the soldier on the wet shirt, the young commander was saying. - He, too, would not hurt to declare gratitude, - Fedor nodded towards Hauptman. For the first time in his life, having betrayed his principles, he shook an enemy soldier by the shoulder.
