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 rifle firing broke out along the whole line from Velika Glava to Kik.  Near Kik the Austrians were massing in strong force, and the Third Army was reported to be again in danger, this time from a hostile turning movement.  Fortunately general headquarters was able to come to the rescue with reenforcements.  This lessened the danger from Kik.  Whereupon the advance along Iverak was continued.  By the middle of the afternoon, when the Austrians were driven out of Reingrob, the Serbians controlled the situation.  The defeat of the Austrians was complete.
