Early in the day the TeutOns regain,

the little town, coming upon the de
Tenders from Numerically opposite III
TectiOns, from the north west and the
southeast simultaneously.
There WAS no resisting the onslaught
Of the French. They captured the
trenches, sweeping on the defenders
from both sides and using the bayonet
freely.
