For two days CCR of the 7th Armored division attempted to take the town of Sillegny, in order to guard the right flank of CCA, which had to encircle and capture Metz. At last, during the afternoon of 19th September, the Americans entered the town the enemy had evacuated. However, immediately after they received a deadly shelling from the German batteries on the high ground overlooking the town. The enemy now moved to counterattack with infantry and tanks. Tough the bulk of the column was dispersed by an aerial attack, a few tanks reached the town and supporting infantry  filtered in behind them. Two American tanks, which had come in earlier, knocked out the leading German tank. Finding that their friendly infantry had taken refuge in cellars or left the town, they hurriedly pulled out to avoid the enemy panzershrecks. By 18.30, the Germans were once again ensconced in the ruins of Sillegny.
