The Greek army planning to throw back the Turkish irregular forces around Aydın, started an offensive at the Tellidede ridges.

On 25 June, the Greek troops attacked the Turkish forces, who were located at the Ovaemir-Yeniköy-Kadıköy line.

The left flank was defended by volunteers from Çakırbeyli, Beydere and Selami Bey's Koçarlı platoon.

Facing these problems they decided to abandon the area and retreated southern to the Büyük Menderes River.
