Introduction
To the west of the Grenadier Corps, the Russian XVI Corps also moved directly southward instead of turning to the west as army commander Anton von Salza apparently had intended. They encountered the left wing of the Austrian X Corps, the Anton Liposcak’s 2nd Infantry Division. Liposcak, a well-regarded officer whose career had suffered from his poor health, had his troops ready when the Russians appeared and promptly attacked them.

Liposcak, a well-regarded officer whose career had suffered from his poor health, had his troops ready when the Russians appeared and promptly attacked them.

Conclusion
With what the Austro-Hungarian official history would call “spirited counter-attacks,” Liposcak’s troops threw the Russians back and blunted their advance. As elsewhere along First Army’s front, the Polish and Ukrainian battalions suffered terrible losses in achieving their victory, particularly among their officers. Second Infantry Division would not be able to repeat this feat many more times.
