Having reached the vicinity of the Vistula River, the detachments dispersed in the area of the forester Narozhnik's house. On the night of September 8-9, the remnants of the 165th infantry regiment from 36 divisions from the combat area moved from the forests near the villages of Sadek and Kezh-Nedzvedzi towards Vezhbica, where they were attacked by enemy tanks. Thanks to the darkness, which prevented the tanks from working, the soldiers repulsed the attacks and moved east. Despite the soldiers' fatigue, Lieutenant Colonel Gromadsky hurried to cross the Ilzha-Skaryshev road, where tanks attacked the regiment again in the morning. Hiding under the cover of the forest, the detachment still resisted, but it was impossible to break through. In this situation, an order was given to break through the Vistula River in small groups of soldiers.
Many soldiers crossed the Vistula River on their own. Soldiers of the disbanded 36th Infantry Division fought in other units near Chelmno-Lyubelsky and Krasnobrod. The cavalry of the 36th Infantry Command under the command of Captain Bronislaw Riczka, who died in the Battle of Roztocz, completely crossed the Vistula. In September 1939, units of Colonel Filipovich's Volyn Cavalry Brigade and Colonel Zakshevsky's Combined Cavalry Brigade fought in this area. The Polish soldier showed amazing tenacity, undertaking a brave, albeit unequal battle with the invader. The day of September 8 and the battle near the village of Barak became a special symbol of this battle for the residents of Shidlovets and its surroundings.
The 10th Panzer Division launched an offensive along the road in the direction of Gura-Strenkov and Kurpik. The defense sector from Valishevo to Strenkov Mountain was shelled by aviation and artillery. This caused a fire that engulfed the entire city. Two combat bunkers were located in the vicinity of Sulin and Vlokhov. He met resistance from the company's infantry platoon and a group of soldiers with a heavy machine gun. The defense of the city was a one-of-a-kind battle where there were such differences in casualties. Although the advantage of the German army was huge, the defenders under the command of Captain Raginis fought to the end. They managed to hold off a division of General Heinz Guderian's 19th Panzer Corps for two days. The battle of the village of Barak delayed the German troops' approach to the Vistula River for two days. The resistance point near Wizna is called "Polish Thermopylae". The battle became a symbol of the heroism of Polish soldiers. L'étendue des événements sportifs disponibles constitue un argument de taille en faveur de cette structure.
