|---|---|---|---|---|
| 13 | 1440 | HF on suspected enemy posns at 836318 and 826334 brought fierce retaliatory fire from a newly located bty in the area of 9135. This was a rather encouraging indication that the posns shelled by our guns contain enemy. Their dislike for our shells was displayed by quick retaliation to our fire. Our observation today has been partly obscured by mist and haze, despite these difficulties the OPs noticed enemy mov 883276 and MGs firing from 887273 836311 836312 and 836313. Each bn has its OPs well fwd; their arcs of observation interlocking to cover the whole area immediately opposite their sectors. |
