During the Polish September Campaign, the Brigade, under General Zygmunt Piasecki, was part of Armia Kraków, defending the area between Zabkowice and Częstochowa. In the first days of September 1939, its defence lines were broken by the German XV Army Corps under General Hermann Hoth. The battle took place around Zawiercie and Woźniki, and after the defeat, the Poles withdrew towards the line of the Nida River and to the towns of Miechów and Pińczów. The Poles were continuously chased and attacked by German 2nd Light Division. On September 10, the Division crossed the Vistula near Baranów Sandomierski. Then, it fought in the Battle of Tomaszów Lubelski, in the area of Biłgoraj and Tarnogrod. Surrounded by the enemy, it capitulated together with remnants of the Army Kraków.
