The partisan units designated for action included those from Gora, Opar, Devolli, Rrëza e Korça, "Tomori," Kurora, Leskovik, Kolonja, as well as two additional detachments.

Contingency plans encompassed the sustained engagement of battle through the allocation of ammunition reserves accrued prior to the conflict.

[4] Partisan forces implemented coordinated group assaults from various directions, progressively narrowing the encirclement and compelling the enemy to seek refuge within the barracks and fortified positions.

Machine guns were strategically deployed to facilitate the advance of assault units, enabling them to approach enemy firing points before employing hand grenades.

[3] A squadron of five planes executed 36 sorties, indiscriminately bombing and strafing both partisan troops and civilian residences in Leskovik and across the ambush locations.

Responding to the besieged garrison's predicament, two battalions supported by armored vehicles were dispatched to provide relief: one from Ersekë and the other from Tepelenë,[4] but most of these reinforcements fell prey to guerrilla attacks assisted by the Special Operations Executive.

[3] The consistent barrage of attacks along the routes compelled the Italians to eventually withdraw their forces from the Leskovik garrison after a few days.

Following the Leskovik battle, South Albania was effectively controlled by the partisans and the vast majority of Italian troops withdrew.
