[1][2] During the battle, the Mususlu detachment under the leadership of Lieutenant Colonel Habib bey Salimov, a detachment consisting of Hasan Bey's 46th Infantry Battalion and a subsequent cavalry regiment and additional forces involved in strengthening the front, and the 1st Brigade of the Red Army on the enemy side, newly arrived from Iran.

The enemy's military forces consisted mainly of Dashnak-Armenian officers and soldiers who were brought to Baku from the First World War (1914-18) and committed genocide against the Azerbaijani people.

Although the main blow to the enemy was supposed to be struck by the 13th Regiment, the situation was complicated by the fact that the Red Army sent a large force here.

During the fighting, which began on the night of the 10th of the month, a detachment was sent to the station of Kerrar to destroy the railway line behind the enemy and make it difficult to retreat.

At that time, H. Salimov's Mususlu detachment skillfully used the weakening of the enemy forces and managed to break through his line of defense.
