Allied Forces Break German Front Northward Near Laon and Cambrai
British French and American armies widen a wedge from Cambrai to Laon as Haig’s drive nears La Cateau. American troops push toward Sedan while air forces drop over 80 tons of bombs in coordinated strikes. Belgian, French, and British units gain across Flanders, taking prisoners and guns as German lines retreat toward the Brunhild position.
