Fall of France 2 | Base Game |
Introduction |
---|
Route Nationale 43, the main road to the sea, ran straight through Bouchain. The German Vlll Corps planned to crush French resistance there, and sent in the 43rd Infantry Regiment during the night to replace the exhausted 28th Regiment south of the town. With the artillery support problems finally resolved and some air support promised as well, 84th Infantry Regiment renewed the attack in the morning with the 43rd following behind. |
Conclusion |
---|
South of the city, the German infantry made good progress through the marshes and had pushed as far as Marquette by 1300 hours. The French committed their reserves at that point, and after hard fighting and heavy losses on both sides the Germans had to fall back. To the north, French troops held out all day long on the Boucheneuil-Roeulx road near Mastaing, and elsewhere they prevented German engineers from bringing artillery across the river. On this day at least, the French held the field. |
