Introduction |
---|
On the left wing of VI Corps, corps commander Svetozar Boroevic belayed his orders to constantly attack until the Russian offensive on his right had been quelled. That gave the 39th Honvéd Infantry Division the opportunity to bring up its artillery and ammunition and actually plan its next attacks rather than fling troops forward at the closest enemy. The whistles blew at 10 a.m. and the “Hungarians” – most of them actually Slovaks – surged forward once again. |
Conclusion |
---|
The Fourth Army command decided to count this attack as a success, but it failed to gain the heights just north of Rachanie. That would have little impact on the course of the battle as a whole, which would be decided just to the north-west of this action where the Austrians tried to turn the right flank of the Russian Fifth Army. But it did add several thousand more casualties to the lists, losses which the Dual Monarchy once again could not afford. |
