The first stage of this operation began with a frontal assault by the Rift Wardens at a Thousand Sons defense point at the base of Mount Sybo. The Rift Wardens captured the objective and breached the enemy lines. The site exchanged hands several times however, during periods of heavy combat.
The plan for the battle was straightforward for both sides. The Rift Wardens wanted to break through the Thousand Son's defences, while the traitor legion's aim was to defend the area long enough for a two-pronged counter-offensive from the south.
After three days of intense fighting, the Thousand Sons managed to repel a direct assault by Arthurus and his company. The struggle for control forced the enemy sorcerer lord to start the counterattack earlier than planned. The site was captured and this victory proved to be the turning point in the tide of war. Having suffered crippling losses, the space marines had no choice but to leave the site to the enemy.
After three days of intense fighting, the corps-sized 1st Polish Army under General Franciszek Latinik managed to repel a direct assault by six Red Army rifle divisions at Radzymin and Ossów. The struggle for control of Radzymin forced General Józef Haller, commander of the Polish Northern Front, to start the 5th Army's counterattack earlier than planned. Radzymin was recaptured on August 15, and this victory proved to be one of the turning points of the battle of Warsaw. The strategic counteroffensive was successful, pushing Soviet forces away from Radzymin and Warsaw and eventually crippling four Soviet armies.

Around the time of the Samakar Landings, the Rift Warden line of defence in the upper River Delta region had been breached by White Scars led by the Khan himself. Rift Warden squads had begun a series of delaying actions and pulled back towards their forces holding the city of Samakar. Chapter Master Arthurus led a strike force to engage the White Scars in their place.
Korsarro Khan directed his brothers to destroy the Rift Wardens as soon as possible, so they could rundown the retreating marines. Khan led a three prong attack coming at Arthurus forces from different directions. Arthurus immediately ordered a counter attack, and hunted down Khan. With the legendary captain struck low, the White Scars pulled him out of combat and left the region to the Rift Wardens.
