Many weapons were captured but for now none of the guns could taken with the unit as they had to advance further on. Hauser and Baggio decided on leaving a little covering force to organize the incorporation of the captured equipment and crews for them.

only Teniente Ferrari and his crew got a new ride.one of the grant tanks could be put into running condition. their own tank had been heavily dmaged bya bomb and its gun had been taken out of comission. Also some of the trucks were started since 3 transports had been lost to air attack.

The infantry was reorganized to have 3 full strength squads in each platoon at least therest of the men went as replacments to the artillery or into the reserve guarding the captured equipment.

temperatures had become almost ubearable as the unit moved onwards into the breach they had created the day before. still many of the veterans were still frozen inside from the russian winter and the burning sun and allied air units were easier in them then freezing cold and russian tanks.
