The entire article can be found at HERE The Belgian Bulge On the 20th of January, the enemy made a desperate attempt to stem the tide and regain his lost initiative along the entire sector. It was a day of frequent and recurring enemy assaults upon our positions. Company B was attacked by foot troops supported by armor and was forced to withdraw 1000 yards --- a counter attack was attempted but it proved unsuccessful. The 2nd Battalion continued attacking SE of Burtonville and gained possession of high ground there while the 3rd Battalion, with G Company attached, launched a counter offensive toward Ferme des Flamands after an early morning attack by enemy troops and armor had forced Companies I and L to withdraw approximately 1000 yards. Attempts to counter attack and regain lost ground proved ineffectual but later, with G Company attached, a successful battalion counter attack drove the enemy off his captured territory and gained additional ground for the battalion. Anti-mechanized protection was being provided the battalion and combat team by Anti-Tank Company, ranging along the flanks and rear of the division area.
