Introduction
After pursuing the defeated Russian Fourth Army toward Lublin, the Austrian First Army gave its I Corps a rest day. On its right, the Austrian V Corps had not paused, and its 14th Infantry Division attacked the Russian XVI Corps around Rudnik. The fighting drew the attention of 46th Landwehr Infantry Division’s staff, and division commander FML Karl Nastopil ordered one of his brigades forward to support the Common Army division’s advance.

Conclusion
The Polish regulars dented the Russian line, but did not achieve a breakthrough and as full darkness fell Nastopil pulled them back. The Landwehr had needed the day of rest every bit as much as the two Common Army divisions of their corps, but all three would be back in full action the next day. Landwehr divisions, with only 75 percent as many infantry battalions as their Common Army equivalents, could even less afford pointless attacks like this one.
