[5] On 16 August 1941, General Rodion Malinovsky the commander of the 6th Army, tasked Abadiyev with leading an attack to push back enemy forces in the region of Sursk-Litovsk towards the Dnieper.

[7] In March 1942 he was appointed as the commander of the newly formed 255th Separate Chechen-Ingush Cavalry Regiment, but soon accepted a new position and was replaced by his chief of staff Movlid Visaitov in May.

In July 1942 German troops broke through the southern part of the front, which resulted in the division engaging in defensive operations in the North Caucasus, Stalingrad, and in the heavy fighting between the Don and Volga rivers.

Nevertheless, Abadiyev and his cavalrymen fought to their last, and the German who troops broke through the defensive line did so in Tsimlyansk area, which was junctioned between the 91st and 157th Rifle Divisions.

[12] During one engagement in the summer of 1942, Abadiyev was seriously wounded and nearly killed, but his horse saved his life and carried him off the battlefield under heavy enemy fire.

[9] After recovering from his injuries he attended the Frunze Military Academy and briefly taught at the Arzamas Higher Officer Staff School before being redeployed to the warfront.

[10] On 23 February 1944 his family was deported along with the entire Ingush civilian population; the Soviet government had labeled Vainakh peoples as "traitors to the motherland" and ordered the mass relocation of them to prison settlements in Central Asia.

After the war he was assigned to command construction battalions in Vladimir, Ryazan, Moscow, Berezniki, and Kuibyshev, before returning to Ingushetia in the early 1980s.
