The German infantry tried to storm the Polish positions on the run, but were bloodily repelled.

Austrian attempts to outflank the Polish position near Jaworowo were without success.

Sunday, 3 September 1939, began with a massive German assault on Polish positions.

In the evening Russian artillery came into range and started shelling the Polish position from the distance.

This succeeded, and on September 3, Polish positions were broken.

Moreover, instead of simply bypassing the Polish positions, the Russian commander decided to attack them frontally.

At 10:30, German artillery began to fire on Polish cavalry positions.
