The Battle of Galica, July 1924
But, the march of the invading Serbian Army, launched at night by Mitrovica in the direction of Peja, once arrived in the village of Vojtesh, would turn towards Galica and “Arberis Legel”, surrounding the midnight of the three still-free villages -- Galica, Lubavecin and Mikisnica.
Serbia had sent over 1,000 more trained and better prepared troops there, as well as the most competent officers for combat, with the aim of definitely ending both the Small Arberia and the Albanian seditious movement in general.
Although the Serbian attacks would start early, that before the morning dawn, with all kinds of heavy weapons and on all sides trying to catch the Amem Bay fighters by surprise, despite the injuries from the Serbian invading army's cannons, Azem Beita and some of his fellow fighters, would be able to cry out the three-way iron siege that the army, gendarmerie and the Serbian-Montenegrin volunteers had put on.
