== Background ==
On August 16, 1920, Polish forces, concentrated along the Wieprz river, and began their counterattack. After 24 hours, it became clear that the Polish advance would threaten the rear of the Soviet 16th Army. By August 20, Poles captured Bug river crossings at Drohiczyn and Frankopol. Forced into retreat, the Soviet 16th Army headed towards Bialystok, in a chaotic, disorganized march.
At the same time, a Polish elite unit, the 1st Legions' Infantry Division, was also marching towards Bialystok. On August 20 in the evening, its commander, Colonel Stefan Dab-Biernacki, ordered his soldiers to capture Bialystok, together with its railroad junction, and cut off the enemy's roads of retreat. Dab-Biernacki tasked 1st Legions' Infantry Regiment to carry out the assault. Altogether, Polish forces had some 2,000 soldiers. On August 21, after a 40-kilometer march, the vanguard companies of the regiment captured the village of Zwierki, located 14 kilometers from Bialystok. They captured 100 prisoners and nine machine guns, but some Soviet soldiers managed to escape, and warned the garrison of Bialystok about Polish raid.
