e, advanced as far as Vrlaja during
the day. During that same night the Austrians were driven from Lipet,
leaving 2,000 of their own number behind as prisoners. The Second Army,
on its part, had pushed steadily on and by night it reached Kremenitza
and Barosnevatz. The Uzitsha Army, opposed by greater numbers, was
unable to participate in the general forward movement, but, on the other
hand, it held its own during the day's fighting. During that night it
hurled itself at the enemy, and by morning he was retreating toward
Zelenibreg.

There was now no longer any doubt that the chances of success for this
third invasion of Serbia were beginning to assume very slender
proportions. The three army corps in the Austrian center and right had
been completely broken and were now retreating in mad, disorganized
flight toward Valievo and Rogatitza. Even should the Serbians fail to
follow up this section of the enemy's forces with full vigor; even
should it have a few days for re-forming, the loss of so much war
material made such a possibility very difficult. There would hardly be
time, under any circumstance, to draw fresh supplies from over the
frontier before the Serbians could come up with them.

On December 7, 1914, the Uzitsha Army reached Pozega. The First Army,
after storming and taking the heights of Maljen, advanced and formed a
line between Maljen and Toplitza. The Third Army made a strong push
forward and reached the line from Milovatz to Dubovitza, making a great
haul of guns and prisoners. Only the Second Army failed to make any
headway. Obviously, the Austrian field commander realized that the
situation in the center was lost; this would account for his attempted
diversion in the north. Here two Austrian corps held their ground
successfully and they not only were able to check the advance of the
Second Army, but they advanced to an attack against the detachment of
Belgrade at Kosmai and Varoonitza.

On the whole, however, the fortunes of war had, during that day, rested
decidedly with the Serbians. They had captured 29 officers, 6,472 men,
27 field guns, 1 mountain gun, 15 gun carriages, 56 wagons loaded with
artillery ammunition and between 500 and 600 ordinary transport wagons.
Above all, the situation in the south, where it had at first seemed most
hopeless, was now retrieved beyond question and the Austrians in that
section were fleeing helter-skelter before a lively Serbian advance, led
by the Serbian Genera
