Kondraty Ivanovich spent more than six months in prison, but investigators did not obtain confession from him. June 23, 1939 K. I. Naumov was convicted, but immediately the case was dismissed due to rehabilitating circumstances ^[2] .

In September 1939, K. I. Naumov was called up by the Kirensky district military registration and enlistment office in the ranks of the Workers 'and Peasants' Red Army and sent to the Syzran Tank School , which he graduated in September 1941 ^[3] .

For the difference in battle, Kondraty Ivanovich was awarded the medal "For Courage" . Here, in the battles near Sukhinichi , his organizational talent also appeared. He became the commander of a tank company, and soon after being promoted to senior lieutenant, he was appointed deputy battalion commander. In general, the actions of the 10th Panzer Corps were not very successful. The corps suffered heavy losses, and at the end of September 1942 it was taken to the reserve for additional staffing and rearmament.

In January 1943, the tank corps, in which senior lieutenant K. I. Naumov served, was transferred to the South-Western Front and became part of the 1st Guards Army .

During the battles on the Kursk Bulge, Captain K.I. Naumov commanded groups of brigade tanks that rushed into battle on the most difficult sections of the front.

On July 14, 1943, the battalion commander went out of order, and Kondraty Ivanovich took over the command of the battalion.

On June 24, 1944, after a powerful artillery preparation, the tanks of the 15th Guards Tank Brigade with machine gunners on armor overcame wetlands along pre-laid gatami , and deployed in battle formations, launched an attack on the Black Brody defensive point of Germany ^[4] . The enemy showed fierce resistance, defending their supply base ^[5] , but on June 25, 1944, 5 tanks of the 2nd battalion of the brigade, guided by captain Naumov, broke into the Black Brody station, and destroyed 2 anti-tank guns, 1 self-propelled gun and up to 30 German soldiers, entered into a shootout with an enemy armored train . During an artillery duel, the enemy managed to set fire to the guard tank of D. E. Komarov and then the tanker overthrew the German armored train with a fire ram , thus deciding the outcome of the battle. At the station, tankers seized a train with food and several large ammunition depots. At dawn on June 27, 1944, the captain K.I. Naumov, commanding a group of tanks, broke into the settlement of Eloviki ^[6] in the suburbs of Bobruisk and freed him from the enemy, destroying the ammunition depot, one enemy tank and 7 enemy soldiers. Skillfully maneuvering under enemy fire, he brought his tanks to a height of 170.2, and having opened hurricane fire at the positions of the Germans, cleared the brigade's path to Bobruisk . In the early morning, the battalion of Captain K.I. Naumov’s guard was the first to break into the northwestern outskirts of Bobruisk. The Germans, conducting a hurricane fire, managed to cut off the machine gunners from the tanks, but Kondraty Ivanovich, leaving the tank, forced the infantry to rise. Acting together, the machine gunners and tankers moved towards the city center, destroying enemy manpower and equipment. In the central areas of the city, they managed to overtake and shoot a convoy of a retreating enemy, destroying up to 30 cars. In the battles for the Bobruisk guard, Captain K.I. Naumov personally destroyed 3 self-propelled guns, 3 vehicles with infantry, an anti-aircraft large-caliber cannon and three faunters. On July 1, 1944, already during the Minsk front-line offensive operation , K.I. Naumov with two tanks, bypassing the enemy from the rear, burst into Talka station and destroyed 2 self-propelled guns and captured 2 self-propelled guns as trophies. In the battle for the station, Kondraty Ivanovich was seriously wounded, but continued to command the battalion until the end of the battle.

For the exemplary performance of the combat missions of the command on the front of the fight against the German invaders and the courage and heroism shown by the decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of August 22, 1944, Captain Naumov Kondraty Ivanovich was awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union.

The offensive of the Red Army continued, and Kondraty Ivanovich could not stay in a hospital bed for long. Even before the end, not recovering from a wound, he returned to the unit. Having completed the defeat of the German group by the end of August 1944, Soviet troops reached the state border of the USSR . In early September, they entered the territory of Poland . On September 5, 1944, the 1st Guards Tank Corps of Major General M.F. Panov crossed the Narev River near the city of Pultusk .
