around 14:00. At the request of "Kostek", the defenders were helped by reinforcements sent by commander "Polakowski". These were two companies of Region V: "Susiec" Witold Kopcia "Ligoty" and "Majdan
Sopocki" by Antoni Kusiak "Bystry", as well as two subunits from the "Cieszanów" company of Franciszek Szajowski "Kruk". Their task was to secure the rear of the units fighting the Ukrainian Insurgent Army. The reinforcements arrived when the subunits of the "Narol" and "Lusia" companies moved to chase the retreating UPA sotnias. The Polish soldiers were joined by local peasants, armed with axes and scythe.
737:. On the night of 4–5 April 1944, partisans of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) came to Huta Lubycka with the intention of eliminating young Poles suspected of being members of the Home Army (AK). Two people were shot dead as a result of the attack. The Ukrainian attackers surrounded and threw grenades at a Polish house standing on the outskirts of the village, where local Poles who feared a Ukrainian attack had been gathering for the night for some time. About 20 people took shelter in a brick cellar outside the building and thus survived the attack, despite the destruction of the house.

They quickly captured the centre of the village and, burning more buildings, reached the northern part of the town. Lipsko was destroyed in 80%. After two hours, the advance of the "Halajda" unit collapsed due to the unfavourable terrain and heavy fire from the Polish defenders. The Ukrainians retreated towards Wola Wielka. The Poles proceeded in pursuit, harassing "Yevshan's" partisans as far as Wola Wielka. During the retreat, the Ukrainians burnt down the farmstead of

Ukrainians renewed their attacks on Jędrzejówka twice, even reaching the centre of the village, but each time they were repulsed by the defenders. After about three to four hours of fighting, the "Siromanciw" unit, losing three dead and ten wounded, began to retreat. UPA guerrillas took only the wounded, leaving the fallen at the site of the battle.

The assaults and corresponding retaliatory actions further exacerbated the conflict in the region. The effectiveness of Polish self-defences created a false sense of security that could lead to surprise in the face of a massive attack.
