After the German invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941, Kharaborkin's unit was sent into combat, in an action known as the Lepel counterattack.  Before the counterattack began, his corps commander sent Kharaborkin and a dozen heavy tanks on a reconnaissance in force to find fords across a river.
