In the villages of: Dąbrowa, Posadów, Rzeczyca, Rzepin, Ulhówek, county Tomaszów Lubelski, 71 partisans of the Home Army died in the fights with the UPA and about 100 were wounded. „at the end of May 1944, the intelligence of the Tomaszów Home Army AK region informed about the decisive attack on the eastern line of Polish troops in the Tyszowce–Łaszczów–Jarczów section, prepared by the UPA. In view of the approaching eastern front, it was the last opportunity for the Ukrainians to mass liquidate the Polish population. In that region, the UPA command had two knights from the Bohun. There were also readies of Mirosław Onyszkiewicz, «Orest», consisting of four sotnyas («Bradziahi», «Hałajda», «Jastrunna» and «Korsak»), kurin «Chernyk» consisting of three sotnyas («Karpy», «Bahrianyja» and «Wowki»), sotnyas «Jahoda» and «Zaliźniak» On June 1, in the afternoon, Polish troops started to take their starting positions for the attack. What were the findings? as we read in the book «Partisan Country» by Jerzy Markiewicz, Polish troops were to develop an attack from the side of Huczwa over an area of approx. 50 km – from Tyszowce to Jarczów. The main attack was to be aimed at Ulhówek. There were large and well–equipped enemy forces, as well as the staff of the Ukrainian grouping. The capture of Ulhówek would be tantamount to breaking the position of the Banderites, which made it possible to break up many UPA units and throw them away to the east. The battle took place on June 2. The heaviest fights took place in the area of Ulhówek, Rzeczyca and Posadowo. The UPA had a decisive advantage, in addition, the Ukrainians were helped by the Germans, bombarding Polish troops along the lines of ongoing fighting. On the Polish side, 71 soldiers died and around 100 were wounded. and although the Polish partisans did not manage to break through the lines occupied by the UPA kurena and throw the enemy troops to the east, the attack on Ulhówek, Rzeczyca and Posad paralyzed the offensive preparations of the Ukrainians. Until the end of the occupation, UPA kurenas did not undertake any long–range offensive actions or operations. This bloody battle prevented the UPA from breaking into the Zamość region”.

The German air force bombed the field hospitals in the Bukowiec forest, Pawłówka, Kolonia Muratyn and the Paszkiewicz farm. The all–day bloody battle ended around 4 pm. During its duration, the villages of Posadów, Szlatyn, Łubcze, Żerniki, Rzeczyca, Podlodów and part of Ulhówek were burnt down, and the village of Zimno was burnt during the retreat. In the evening hours, all groups began to retreat, retreating to the line of the Huczwa River.
