wed up.

Over on Iverak the Serbians had succeeded in making some headway.
Forming into two columns, this wing marched out and attacked the
Austrians at Yugovitchi and succeeded in driving them from their
trenches. But immediately the Austrian artillery on Reingrob opened fire
on them, and they were compelled to dig themselves in. And late that
night, August 18,1914, the Austrians delivered a fierce counterattack.
But night fighting is especially a matter of experience, and here the
Serbians with their two Balkan campaigns behind them, proved immensely
superior. They drove the Austrians back with their bayonets.

During that same day, August 18, 1914, the Austrians had renewed their
pressure on the Third Army and the Third Ban men. Soldatovitcha was
their first objective. During the day reenforcements arrived and the
commanding general was able to hold his own, retaking Soldatovitcha
after it had once been lost. Thus ended the day of August 18, 1914, the
third day of the battle.

Early next morning, on August 19, 1914, the Austrians in Shabatz renewed
their efforts to penetrate the Serbian lines to the southward. So
determined was their effort that finally the Serbians in this sector
were driven back over on to the right bank of the River Dobrava. All day
the fighting continued, the Serbians barely holding their position,
strong as it was.

This success of the Austrians hampered the cavalry division, which had
not only to secure its flank, but had also to keep between the Shabatz
Austrians and the Serbians operating on Tzer, whom they might have
attacked from the rear.

Along the Tzer ridges, however, things were going well for the Serbians.
At noon they had taken Rashulatcha, which left the column free to
continue its pursuit of the fleeing Austrians along the ridges. From the
heights above the Serbian guns fired into the retreating Austrians down
along the Leshnitza River, turning the retreat into a mad panic. By
evening the advance guard of this division had arrived at Jadranska
Leshnitza.

In the early morning, August 19,1914, the Serbians over on the Iverak
ridges had attacked in deadly earnest. Naturally the huge success and
rapid advance of the Serbians over on the Tzer ridges were of great
importance to them. Here the Austrians were put to rout too. At 11 a. m.
the Serbians stormed Velika Glava and took it, but here their progress
was checked by a strong artillery fire from the west of Rashulatcha.
Then
