As a result, in May 1944, the Germans developed a detailed plan of an anti-partisan action, code named "Sturmwind" (Storm-wind) which they put into effect in early June.

The Germans, relying on their superior numbers and armaments, managed to take control of a small wood nearby from which they could keep the partisans under constant fire, causing high casualties among them.

Using this as a base for further attacks, German forces managed to seize the western side of the Porytowe Hill which breached the main line of defense.

The main columns of partisans, after fierce fighting, many casualties and a forced 40 kilometer march, managed to reach the relative safety of the Solska Forest.

While the partisans managed to break out of the trap and effectively win a temporary victory, the Germans had already planned a follow-up operation, "Sturmwind II", centered on the Solska Forest, which led to the Battle of Osuchy at the end of June.
