At about 3 p.m., when the regimental headquarters was approaching the northern edge of the forest, a radio message (the first) was received from the 3rd battalion: "We have engaged in a serious battle at Zamosts. Progress has been delayed." This message was the first indication that things might not go exactly according to plan. The matter was complicated by the fact that the regiment commander rode ahead to Polesie. Therefore, the adjutant handed the report to the officer closest in the order of command, the commander of the 2nd battalion.


After receiving the report, this battalion commander took the initiative. He gathered his battalion (without the 5th company) and immediately went to Zamosc to rescue the 3rd battalion.


By evening, the situation in which the regiment found itself already seemed hopeless. The 2nd battalion occupied the line from Chisove to Zamosc and was fiercely attacked from the west. The 3rd battalion managed to extricate itself from the clash near Zamosets (probably due to the distraction of the enemy by the approach of the 2nd battalion) and retreated in the direction of Gorki. The retreat was secured only by abandoning most of the battalion's transportation vehicles. At the Hills, the battalion apparently established contact with the 2nd battery of the artillery division. Meanwhile, the main column gathered in Polesie, where it was attacked from the west throughout the afternoon. The forces stationed in Polesie consisted of: the regimental headquarters, the 1st battalion, the 5th company, the 13th (howitzer) company without the 1st platoon, the 14th (anti-tank) company without the 1st platoon, the regimental cavalry detachment and the artillery division without the 2nd and 3rd- Battery life.


During all this time, the communications platoon made desperate efforts to radio the division, but it failed. As night approached, however, the work of the radio improved and, finally, a message came from the division. The regiment was informed that a divisional reconnaissance detachment had been attached to the 12th regiment and was now waiting for orders at such and such a place (apparently, a point near Leshnu). A messenger officer (this is a means of communication often used by the Germans during the Polish campaign)— he was then sent in the direction of Leszno with an order for a reconnaissance detachment to be in Grabina in the morning, and from there to establish contact with the 3rd battalion in Gorki. Since the German divisional reconnaissance unit is a serious combat unit, the news that would have come from it should have somewhat eased the regiment's position.


At dawn on September 17, the Poles resumed their attacks on Polesie from the west. At about 7 a.m., the 2nd Battalion reported that it was still holding the Chisove-Zamosc line against attacks from the west. The same report stated that the 3rd Battalion in Gorki was currently under attack from the Kampinos forest and that so far nothing had been heard about divisional reconnaissance. It later turned out that the reconnaissance squad itself was forced to engage in a desperate battle near Lyubets. This detachment never managed to get to the regiment in time to support it. Meanwhile, attacks on Polesie had already begun to be launched not only from the west, but also from the south. The situation that developed on the morning of September 17th is shown in the diagram. By this time, it was already clear to the regimental commander that his regiment was not only isolated, but also that his units in Polesie were cut off from the rest of the regiment's forces. The situation was complicated by the difficulty of maintaining radio contact with the division.
