With the support of an artillery battery placed near Gabr el Maduar, three New Zealand infantry companies attacked the Bir Ghirba strong point which was the HQ of the Italian division "Savona". entrenched behind a minefield and a barbed wire fence, the Italian soldiers opened an heavy fire with all weapons on the New Zealand infantrymen which stopped them inflicting heavy losses. With any possibility to win against this fierce defense, the New Zealand soldiers withdrew the next morning, leaving the Italian position unconquered.
