Short description of personal combat feat or accomplishment
On 26th June near Ogloblya Comrade Khaldzhigitov stopped a group of attacking Germans with his machinegun, killing twelve of them and taking two prisoner.
On 3rd July while clearing Minsk Comrade Khaldzhigitov killed six Germans and captured three Hitlerites.
On 5th July in the Ivenets regional center, Comrade Khaldzhigitov rushed into the city and was designated to guard a crossroads with the mission to cut off the path of the retreating enemy. Germans positioned in nearby buildings did all they could to destroy his machinegun position blocking their retreat. This brave machinegunner was subjected to a crossfire, however he held his position and fired at both directions. Light Machinegunner Comrade Khaldzhigitov accomplished his mission in a splendid manner, denying the Germans the opportunity to cross to the far bank of the Ivenets river. In this uneven fight Comrade Khaldzhigitov fulfilled his duty in a shining manner, killing 28 Hitlerites and capturing seven of them.
For displaying boldness, bravery, and valor while accomplishing his mission, Comrade Khaldzhigitov is deserving of the Order of Glory III Class.
