While he was adjusting the artillery fire Colonel Baggio heard the crew of the AT-Gun guarding the western side of the fort firing. What had happened he quickly sent an orderly to investigate.

As it turned out some jeeps had been spotted driving towards the fort at highspeed. appaently they had heard the news of the fighting and where hoping to take the fort in an coup de grace while its infantry was out attacking the oasis.

Baggio quickly ordered soem jeeps with machine guns to drive back to help defending the fort.

Meanwhile the italian militiamen continued their glorious charge one en stumbled and fell next to moretti who quickly hit the ground as he saw bullets impacting next to him. The vickers guns had found them. luckily this was only a short episode in the otherwise glorious charge. They ran and shot while the french ran and didnt shot back.
