The Bolshevik assault started on May 26 , with the aim of cutting off the Polish 2nd and 3rd Armies and encircling them in a huge pocket . One of the assaulting divisions of the Cavalry Army , the Soviet 11th Cavalry Division , managed to break the front line between the two Polish armies and assaulted a fortified village of Bystrzyk , defended only by a single infantry company of the Polish 50th " Kresy Rifles " Regiment . After a short skirmish , the Poles were defeated . As the Cossack cavalry took no prisoners , all 75 Poles were killed , including prisoners and wounded in action . The exact Russian losses are unknown . Shortly after the skirmish , the commander of the Polish 13th Infantry Division , Gen . Franciszek Paulik , dispatched the reserve Polish 40th Infantry Regiment , but it was too late to relieve the defenders of Bystryk and the regiment lacked enough firepower to defeat an entire division . Because of that , the Polish tactical counter - offensive was repelled . The following day , the Russian division expanded the gap , broke through to the other side of the front and managed to drive approximately 15 kilometres towards the rear of the Polish forces . This created a gap in the Polish front and endangered the rear of the Polish 13th division . The commander of the Polish 6th Army , Gen . Wacław Iwaszkiewicz , ordered a counter - assault group to be created out of all available reserves . The group , commanded by Jerzy Sawicki , was composed of two regiments of his 3rd Cavalry Brigade , as well as two infantry battalions from the 19th Infantry Regiment and two batteries of field artillery . The Polish counter - assault started at 1 o ' clock in the morning of June 1 , 1920 . The Poles caught the 11th Cavalry Division by surprise in the village of Starościńce . Although the forces of both sides were more or less equal , the surprise was decisive and the Russians sounded a retreat after a short skirmish . After a successful pursuit , the 11th Division was forced back to its original positions from before the offensive started .
