French and American troops press to push Germans from their last foothold on the north bank of the Marne while air bombardment disrupts movement along the Fismes Marne corridor.

Rain Delays Hun Retreat Amid Heavy Allied Bombardment

Allies press in ravines and woods south of Foret as Australians and French squeeze a shrinking pocket. American troops beyond Brecy uncover a long-range cannon emplacement once aimed at Paris, now the first such south of St Gobain Forest. Machine guns remain a key obstacle, with gunners ordered to hold until killed or captured.
