Hauser told his ordonance "i need the 105er to bombard that northern bridge until it collapses. tell them to fire a few barrages and then relocate"
He would have liked to send engineers with satchel charges there but it was a bridge to far. In the south it was manageable so hes sent one infantry platoon to destroy the bridge. hopefully they would manage in time before the vehicles that were throwing up all the dust he had seen in the distance could cross it. The heavy bridge in the center had they would have to use it themselves later after they had destroyed the allied collumn.

HQ wouldnt be to happy if the enemy decided to stay on the other side of the river after they saw 2 of 3 bridges destroyed and would leave it to the germans to attack over on bridge but Hauser had to think about his unit and minimzing causalities now. later they would surely find a way.

They were quite a bit ahead of the main body so for a few hours they would have to hold here with no reeinforcements in sight.
