Ordered to turn the right flank of the Russian Fifth Army, Gen. Blasius Schemua of the Austrian II Corps placed the 13th Landwehr Division under the command of Archduke Peter Ferdinand of 25th Infantry Division. The archduke in turn spent a leisurely morning at the Hotel Zentral in Zamosc and turned the actual conduct of the battle over to FML Eduard Edler von Kreysa of 13th Landwehr Division. Kreysa kept most of his suddenly enlarged force packed tightly together except for Col. Karl von Stöhr’s 1st Bosnian-Hercegovinan Infantry Regiment. The Bosnians would dash forward once the Russian lines had been ruptured, Kreysa had planned, but when they reached the front the found the Russians rather unruptured.

In furious fighting the Bosniaken kicked the Russians out of Miacyzn before darkness brought an end to the fighting – neither side showed much eagerness for night combat in this campaign. The 25th Infantry Division had engaged in more rest days than it had combat so far, and the Bosnians went into action fairly fresh, immediately showing why they would earn a reputation for ferocity in close combat.
