Introduction
|
|
Despite the best efforts of command the 133rd Infantry Regiment was caught out in the open come daylight. They tried to penetrate the hills early in the morning and were unable to breakthrough. Fountain was relieved of command and replaced by Lt. Col. Carley Marshall (Fountain's career would recover and he commanded the 34th Infantry Division after the war.) Soon the German armor was seen to the west gathering for a counterattack.

|
Conclusion
|
|
With few antitank pieces to combat the tanks the 125th Field Artillery Battalion used a Piper Cub spotter plane to target the enemy armor. For the cost of 736 shells they destroyed one assault gun and disabled four others. It was not enough to keep the Germans from inflicting heavy casualties on the Americans. Long after dark the two battalions finally managed to infiltrate the hills and dig in.
