The Austrian-Hungarian Front.
August-September 1914

Lemberg

With failure of having a proper plan the Austrian-Hungarian forces participated in helping the Germans in attacking the Russians from the south of Warsaw and eventually link up with the Germans in the capture of Warsaw.

Austrian-Hungarian Armies

Viktor Graf Dankl von Krasnik, 1. Armee in Krakau
Eduard von Böhm-Ermolli, 2. Armee in Lemberg
Rudolf Ritter von Brudermann, 3. Armee in Przesmyl
Mortiz Auffenberg von Komarów, 4. Armee in Czernowitz

The 1. Armee would move from Krakau to Rzin South-West of Ivangorod, the 3. Armee would move from Przesmyl via Rawa Ruska into Lubieszow and from there to move towards the city of Warsaw.

This however quickly was wiped of the board as it appeared the Russians have dedicated a substantional amount of forces in the assault on Lemberg.

Russians led by Pavel-Plehve attacked Lemberg with over 150.000 men this however was met with an equal amount of Austrian forces led by von Böhm and the attack was repelled however an second attack which followed shorty after and saw the Russians bring in extra forces from reinforcements theyforced von Böhm to retreat to the West abandoning the garrison of Lemberg to fend for themselves. The 1. Armee and 3. Armee where pulled back from their innitial movements towards Russia and redirected to come to Lemberg and organize a quick counterattack to throw the Russians out.

As Russians forces where reported to be around the North East of Lemberg the 3. Armee would deploy itself just North of Lemberg and repel any attack that would come from that dirrection. The 1. Armee would be in charge of the counter-Attack and hopefully with the help of the garrison units. However the Russians started the full assault sooner then the Austrian Military command anticipated and they where crushed under the weight of the Russian forces that where commited to this assault.

Their victory and capture of Lemberg was short lived as the 1. Armee arrived supported by the 3. Armee and its commander making short work of the worn Russian forces who desperatly needed some rest after 3 heavy assaults on Lemberg giving it all they had.
Pavel-Plehve pulled back to the east and Lemberg fell back into the hands of the Austrians. This however wasn't enough with von Böhm back in Lemberg he ordered that the Russians would even be pushed back further and preferably out of Austria and thus a quick counter attack in Zloczow was the result and he succeeded in pushing them across the river back into Russia.
