“Vienna’s other regiment,” the 84th “Freiherr von Bolfras” Infantry Regiment lacked the prestige of the Deutschmeister, but was likewise a very solid formation. FML Kreya of 13th Landwehr Infantry Division added it to his own 25th Landwehr Brigade for an assault on Miaczyn, as the Austrians attempted to turn the right flank of the Russian Fifth Army.

Despite the concentrated force, the Austrians could make only limited progress against the Russians. Both Landwehr and Common Army regiments formed up in dense storm columns that suffered terribly from Russian field and machine guns, and by nightfall Miaczyn remained in Russian hands, with the Austrians camping within sight of the town.
