Battalion of the 83rd Regiment from Bijelo Polje organized a mop-up operation of Korda's region, probably at the request of local Muslims, on 25 June. The 60-man of Giljevo Chetnik Detachment ambushed the Italian soldiers (supported by the Sandžak Muslim Militia) near the village of Radijelje, but had to retreat after five Chetniks were killed and four captured by the Italians. The Italians captured arms and ammunition, inflicting a heavy blow on Korda's group. In the Klisura region of, 25 km southeast of Sjenica, a joint force of the Sandžak Muslim militia and a bicycle unit of the 104th Jäger Division fought Korda's Chetniks. As part of a wider action to destroy the Chetniks in Montenegro, German and Italian forces (supported by the Sandžak Muslim militia) captured the region controlled by Korda's Giljevo Chetnik Detachment at the end of June 1943; dozens of Chetniks and Serb civilians were killed. After initial resistance, Korda and the Chetniks retreated across the river Lim. Poetry Poetry such as "Three thousand with black beards led by Korda Rade" () has been written in honor of Korda, sometimes accompanied by a gusle. References Sources Chetnik personnel of World War II
