Turn 38 Allied - South



Line formed in woods against the Panzer Lehr infantry. Artillery attacks made aginst one of the groups. Also artillery on 5th FJD units opposite Boevange. 90th Cav Bn left to guard Boevange.

3-501st manged to destroy the Pz Lehr recce unit at Redanges. (1 a/c) but the unit at Bekerich was bullet proof and survived.

With 4th Armoured on map now, 80th Division moved off north leaving 1-319th and 610th TD Bn behind for moment. Destination is Neufchateau.

2-501st lead unit for 501st Para Rgt met enemy unit (5th FJD Bn) south of Warnach when it tried to move north east of the river. 36 men lost. 501st pulled back to Martelange.
Hopefully enemy will move away and allow the 80th Division to move past Martelange by road.

4th Armoured (part) arrived and Divisional TD unit (704th TD Bn) showed its usefulness by managing to clear the stream and gain the road Bekerich. (very mobile units) The Armd Inf Bn (10th Arm Inf) will have to take slow route via Ell and Redanges.
