Heroes of Stalingrad: Chulfunbai Tolvardiev On August 6, 1942, near the village of Selyavnoye, Voronezh region, Komsomol member, Red Army soldier Chulfunbai Tolvardiev covered the embrace of an enemy bunker with his body. Thanks to these seconds of silence, his comrades destroyed the machine gun crew and took a strategic bridgehead, without which the attack of the 6th Army of the Voronezh Front was impossible. Chulfunbai was in the Red Army from 1941. He served in the 636th Battalion of the 160th Infantry Division. On the eve of the August battles, the unit was assigned to destroy the enemy's firing points on the heights near the village of Sliavnoi-Voturia and gain a foothold there. The most dangerous thing, suppressing the bunkers, was entrusted to the volunteers of the 9th company, in which Tolverdaev served. On the night of August 6, eleven volunteers on a boat, under mortar and machine gun fire, crossed the Don and climbed a steep cliff of Mount Gir. But in the open area, the group was unable to get closer than 30 meters to the firing point. Then Chulfunbai volunteered to perform. He crawled four to five meters into the bunker. After avoiding the grenades and wounding his right shoulder, the fighter rushed to the embrace and covered it himself. The enemy machine gun went silent for a few seconds. This was enough for the friends to destroy the crew and take the bridgehead, which determined the success of the entire operation. On February 4, 1943, Chulfunbai Tolbardaev was posthumously awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union. Nikolay Starikov in Max.
