Introduction |
---|
While the rest of the regiment was fighting at Hill 505, the 100th Infantry Battalion had quietly worked their way east over a mile from the nearest friendly unit. Unfortunately they were discovered and became pinned down on a ridge overlooking Biffontaine. The German grenadiers subjected the Nisei to a heavy barrage from three sides to soften them up, then struck at their exposed right rear flank. |
Conclusion |
---|
The 100th Battalion was overextended. If they had been left on their own for any length of time, they would have had trouble dealing with the situation. Luckily, the 2nd Battalion had completed their assignment at La Broquaime and raced to intercede. With characteristic verve the Asian-Americans hit the grenadiers hard and from an unexpected direction, driving them off. They spent the rest of the night toting water and ammunition to the hard-pressed 100th Infantry Battalion and helping them reinforce their forward position. |
