Mohammed Gawda and about sixty Peshmergas went to the rescue of their comrades, but on the way they were attacked by aircraft near Ahmad Shana's headquarters as a result of helicopter fire Hassan Hajar, Haji Qado's cousin with the rank of detachment commander, and another Peshmerga were martyred. Mirkhan, Shamo and three other Peshmergas of Haji Qado were wounded. The planes would land and carry the bodies of their dead and even those of the martyred Peshmergas. The whole force had an RPG with three bullets. After they used it, the planes had fewer They dared to go down. When the Peshmergas of Haji Qado, Mohammed Khalid and Mohammed Gawda reached Ahmad Shana, many of his Peshmergas had no bullets left, but they were still defending They changed their position from defense to attack and were able to kill a large number of army soldiers on the battlefield and force the army to retreat They took a Peshmerga named Rasul Doski who had been captured by the army with them. On their way back, they threw Rasul Doski down alive from the plane and killed him.

As a result of the fighting, eight Peshmergas and two new recruits were killed and four civilians were killed. Nine Peshmergas, including Salih Sito and Ahmad Shana himself, were wounded Hruri was shot dozens of times and was martyred. Zoran Abdulaziz (Anwar) was martyred the same day.

Suddenly, the planes were behind the valley The Peshmergas were not ready to defend themselves. As a result of the air strikes, Haji Qado was immediately martyred.

The next day, May 27, 1977, the regime army again arrived at Govke headquarters in seven passenger planes. After landing them, the regime army launched a massive attack on the Peshmerga forces The Peshmerga forces had lost their leader and several brave Peshmergas the previous day, but they defended heroically and badly defeated the attacking army and forced them to retreat.
