Borowski looked ahead, and saw the Russians falling back. He rejoiced for a moment, and then a realization struck him. "Be careful, men", he radioed to his troops. "This could be a trap." His troops advanced slowly, keeping their guard up. The remaining AA vehicles continued to pick off Russian aircraft, slowly since the numbers of both the aircraft and AA vehicles were dwindling.
A Polish platoon entered a building, with a squad securing each floor. On the fifth floor, they came across a room. One man kicked the door down, while two more covered him. Inside, they saw a man in a Russian Colonel's* uniform with a field radio. One of the covering men tossed in a grenade and dove for cover with the rest. The grenade detonated, and they looked back in. The man was wounded and unconscious, and the voice radio continued speaking in Russian. Only one of the Polish troops spoke any Russian, and his vocabulary so so limited that he could only make out "get him to the... Command Post before...... retreat, retreat....... enemy.... prepare yourselves for....". One of them took the Russian's pulse and found him to be still alive. "Cierpiala, tie him down", he said to one of his comrades. "Jankowiak, get a medic and somebody who speaks Russian", he said to the other. The first searched through the Russian's pockets, and found a pistol, a knife, some personal items and a flask of vodka.
*A Russian Colonel is about equivalent to a NATO Brigadier General.
