232 Infantry Regiment battle for the bridges day 2
Despite intense fire and an enemy counterattack, Company F maintained its bridgehead throughout the day, but at 0430 on March 20 a superior enemy force counterattacked the company, inflicted heavy casualties, and drove it back across the river. While the battle for the bridgehead still raged, other units of the Division closed into position and plans were made for a more deliberate attack on the fortifications. Patrols sent out to probe weak spots in the line met with stiff opposition and received enemy small arms, mortar and artillery fire and obtained little information. Enemy artillery
also fell on battalion and regimental command posts.
Apparently the enemy was going to try to put up a fight, even though he was in a most precarious position. North of the 7th Army the 3rd Army had broken through the Siegfried and was racing for the Rhine. Armored units were turning south and would soon be able to smash into the rear of the fortifications. It is doubtful if the enemy knew this, however. He was disorganized and communications had been almost completely destroyed.
