Since mid-March, the fierce battles on the west bank of the Mars River reached their peak. In the last two days of intense fighting, the German Army deployed five divisions of troops on the west bank of the Mars River. Ignoring the fierce artillery and machine gun fire from the French defenders, the German commander ordered the troops to launch a strong attack on both the east and west sides of the Mort-Orme Highland, resulting in heavy losses for the German Army.
After a few days of rest, the German Army suddenly launched an unusually fierce artillery attack on the defensive positions on the northeast and northwest slopes of Mort-Orme Highland. Under the cover of artillery, an elite German force began to launch an attack on the northeast slope.
This force, with the support of regular troops that had been relocated to the northwest of the highland a few days earlier, launched a fierce attack on the highland's neck area.
