The partisans and HQ quickly advanced between Gornje and Donje Bare to the Hrčavka river. They were under German fire and Vicko almost lost his entire family. Tito was also wounded from an aviation bomb. The Supreme HQ managed to reach Miljevina. They settled there and were almost liquidated by a German task force but the partisans managed to react first and execute the Germans. The HQ managed to reach the Red Rocks at Romanija and Vicko at that point lost connection with them so he went to the 2nd Dalmatian brigade HQ.
