EfS "A Ornian aviator spotted us soonjgEj after dayliuht, and began circling vor us, signalling back to his artillery. W'b pg let so at him wit h our Rims, but i euuhln't hit him. Next we Knew the j gs Germans put down a box barrase oiijS all sides nf us. completely cutting out j Er Mulient off from the rest of the system sEi and 300 field-grays came over the top.
