On September 3, 1939, attacking from the Silesia region, the 2nd Light Division struggled against the Krakow Cavalry Brigade, trying to save the situation on the Zawiercie-Szczekociny axis.
In the area of operations, there was also a regrouping Polish 7 Inf. Div., withdrawing from Czstochowa .... Surprised and scattered Polish troops had little chance of fighting the motorized forces of the enemy.
