German divisions launched a three front drive toward Rheims after hours of artillery bombardment but French resistance held the line. The attack aimed to envelop the city with parts of the thrust sweeping southeast, yet only a local diversion succeeded while German hopes of a knockout struggle ahead. British warnings about Ludendorff’s strength and future months of heavy fighting are noted as the campaign pivots on surprise and concentrated effort.
