Winter Report 1914
Austrian Front
After Lemberg was secure the Russians swinged more the west heading to the fortifications of Przemysl. With Brudermann's 3. Armee left for the defence of Lemberg it was up to the 4, 7, 11 and the 14 Korps to defend the fort from the Russians that where heading their way. A German unit from Koenighuette reported to be on their way to help the defending forces by deploying themselves behind the enemy once they've started their attack on Przemysl.
The Russians attacked in late October it was led by Aleksei Evert. von Österreich who took command of the defence managed to beat back the initial assault but as it became clear at Lemberg the Russian commanders aren't shy in keeping up the presure no matter the cost of lives when in early November after battle after battle there was a brief moment of panic.
However the Russians started to show signs of losing spirit and in the futile assaults Aleksei asked of his men that ended up them being mowed down by the thousands. To make matters worse for the Russians the 10 Korps under Meixner and a reserve infantry division with cavalry support under von Woyrsch managed to close of the supply route up north of Prezmysl. Late November saw a decisive blow delt by the defenders of Przemysl and the russian break out up north in Jaroslaw failed as well causing them to be trapped between two armies for the duration of the winter.
