At that time, a band of about 400 Poles (200 from the Polish Army and over 200 bandits from Voitkova, Lishchavka, Kuzmyny, and Birchi) attacked the village, set fire to dozens of houses, and killed men.

Topolia, in particular, had the most difficult task: to strike at the lower end of the village, capture the mill, cross the deep river full of ice and snow, and advance.

As a result of a successful battle (28 UPA members were wounded, and several were killed), Polish forces were defeated, fled in panic, and became cautious.
