Overview:
Late in the afternoon of 31 January, approximately ¾ mile out of Derna, the 2/8th Battalion was greeted by fire from several well-sighted machine guns on the forward slopes of the heights, bringing the advance to a halt. Lt. Colonel Mitchell, OC 2/8th, immediately called a company commander’s conference and gave orders for a night assault by A Company on the enemy rearguard. At 2000 hours, Captain J. A. Smith led his company up a road which zigzagged up the steep slope of the escarpment. The objectives were the machine gun positions overlooking the line of advance. . . .The objective for the attacker is to leave no unbroken Italian MMC on or adjacent to the road which wound its way up from the foot of the escarpment to Level 4. The Italians use the X1 overlay as a fortified building which can be HIP’ed within their setup area. Both forces were purely infantry, the nine Aussie squads being led by a 10-2 while the Italian force of seven 346’s are led by a 9-1, and 8-0 and also fields two crews for their MMG’s.Attacker: Australian (A Co., 2/8th Battalion, 6th Division)
Defender: Italian (Italian rearguard)
