Guard Forces Unite
To Meet Mechanized
Infantry Attack
Maryland, Pennsylvania
Troops Join a Miles
South of Manassas
BY JOSEPH S. EDGERTON,
Star STAFF Correspondent.

MANASSAS. Va. Aug 15.-Troops
of the 5th Maryland National Guard
Infantry united forces with the
Pennsylvania Guardsmen of the 28th
Division today to meet the brunt of
mechanical infantry attack in
force by enemy troops of the pro-
visional Regular Army division in
the rough, broken country in the
OccoQuan Valley 4 miles south of
Manassas.
Although the morning started
with cool, cloudy weather and
light mist, which prevented early
air reconnaissance and left the
forces cropping for ground contact
in the time-hon~Sed fashion, mid
morning found a hot. sultry sun
blazing through, and by noon the
troops had begun to suffer.
Starting with clash of outposts
of the 18th Division Infantry and
the invading Regular Army 18th
and 34th Infantry Regiments, the
action rapidly grew as each side
threw fresh troops into the line, and
by noon fighting was hot along a
divisional front of miles or more.
A BLACK" fanking attack was
held up more than half hour when
truck of the 34th Infantry was
ditched while trying to pass a bus
of observers on narrow backwoods
road, bottling the flank attack until
the truck was heaved out by man
power and the use of an old rail
fence.
"Flying Battalion" Used.
The traditional ability of the
American soldier to take care of
himself in the face of unusual cir
cumStances has not been lessened
because new inventions have revolu-
tionized the details of modern war
fare.
This was clearly demonstrated
yesterday when National Guard
troops of the 28th Division, facing
the smashing attack of an ace pro-
visional division of regular army
troops, used a fleet of fast trucks 10
create a mobile flying battalion to
beat off first horse cavalry raid as
old as warfare itself and then, on the
opposite side of the battlefield,
powerful surprise thrust by highly
mechanized force led by two columns
of so tanks, representing the most
modern form of ground fighting.
Both attacks, in actual warfare,
would have done a great deal of
damage before they were beaten off,
but the important thing is that they
were stopped before they became
vital threat to the safety of the de-
Tending guard forces by a display
of great ingenuity in the face of
emergency.
Col. Patton Leads Cavalry
The cavalry attack, made by a
squadron of the 3rd Cavalry from
Fort Myer, Va, led by Col George
S. Patton, jr, regarded as one of the
most dashing American cavalry COM
manners, tore through the guard
outposts, stirred up a hornets nest
among the defenders, who poured
