Having secured the town of Rudnik before night brought fighting to an end, the Austrian 14th Infantry Division’s advance had been stopped as much by Russian resistance as the gathering darkness. When the sun rose, the Austrians did as well and renewed their advance, but the Russians had had time to rest and prepare.

This time the Austrian attacks succeeded in driving back the Russians, once again at a tremendous cost in casualties. The Russians had time to bring up their howitzers from XVI Corps’ reserve battalion overnight to aid the defense. The Austrians had no means of suppressing them or doing anything like the same damage with their own lighter artillery, which lacked the ability to conduct much in the way of indirect fire. Once again, the infantry carried the day, and by mid-afternoon XVI Corps had been routed.
