Suddenly the enemy appeared, emerging from the edge of Ourches woods. On defensive positions hastily prepared, the French soldiers resisted all the day and night under German artillery and mortar fire, preventing the enemy infantrymen to cross the Meuse river. on the next morning, overwhelmed by the enemy, with no more strength and out of ammo, the survivors of the battalion were taken prisoners.
