Overview:
"Sky and Mud" -- As the Allied offensive against Tunis bogged down, the French Headquarter prepared a small-scale action whose objective was to take control of the Pont-du-Fahs area. The terrain was mountainous and reputedly “tank-proof”. The available transportation pool and communications systems were archaic: wagons were added to the first and pigeons were used for the second. The troops were painfully brought into attack position: on wet and muddy tracks under a constant rain. Facing them, the Italian Superga division held a 50-km wide front based on strongpoints about which the French intelligence gave only very limited knowledge. The attack, launched on the 20th, met a stiff resistance; resumed the next day, it met some local success but quickly bent under the German and Italian counter-attacks. The Henchir Moussa crossroad saw particularly hard-fought action and the 4th RCA had to withdraw around 1500. The 3rd Regiment of the 4th RCA attacked again on 22nd of December and took back the Henchir Moussa crossroad during the morning. Some elements of the 2nd Regiment of the 4th RCA, with armored cars and D1 tanks, held off two Italian counterattacks at 1200 and 1900. But this success stood short-lived. After a break, the French attack exhausted itself, got stuck and finally failed.Attacker: French (Elements of the 4th RCA)
