Woodward), in the regimental center, was hit by the 1130th Regiment of the 560th Volks Grenadier Division. [3] The regiment plowed through France and Germany, participating in the capture of Paris and the bitter fighting in the Huertgen Forest. The tank thrust through the 1st Battalion center pushed parts of companies C (a platoon of which had joined the battalion from training), A, and D back through the woods toward Welchenhausen. Then as the attack got moving they were raised to lay heavy counterbattery fire on the 229th Field Artillery Battalion (Lt. Col. John C. Fairchild). For this reason the fight put up by the 112th Infantry on the north flank of the division had little or no effect on the operations of its sister regiment east of Bastogne. The bulk of the provisional battalion, inside Wiltz, started southwest an hour or so before midnight, some on foot, the rest riding on trucks, half-tracks, and tank destroyers. The 77th had been unable to win a quick decision at Hosingen. Companies E and F dug in on a ridge north of Reuler under a rain of Tanks, tank destroyers, and guns were rushed up from the depots at Mayen, but on 15 December the two panzer grenadier regiments were still missing 60 percent of their regular rifle strength and the panzer regiment had ready only one of its two battalions (with 27 Mark IV's and 30 Panthers).

A small tank-infantry team blasted the single 57-mm. 112th Infantry Regiment. Fortunately Major Woodward, the battalion commanding officer, was suspicious of this route. Company B, however, had been badly shot up during the engagement and probably somewhat shaken by the presence of two or three flame-throwing tanks-a new experience to most American troops on the Western Front. Only three of the howitzers left could be withdrawn and losses among the cannoneers and drivers were high. The company commander withdrew the remaining five tanks on a side road and reached Urspelt, taking position near the 2d Battalion command post.9, The American pincers action had failed to constrict at Marnach.

Donald Paul's command post at Urspelt: Company A held Heinerscheid. The casualties suffered by a typical American infantry regiment serving in World War II were horrendous. Company B, on the extreme north flank, had been forced back into the 424th Infantry area, but about 235 men withdrew cross-country toward Ouren. Farther to the south the 687th Field Artillery Battalion was surrounded at a crossroad about seven miles from Wiltz.

The Battle of the Bulge was the largest battle ever fought by the United States Army. The 3d Battalion commenced its withdrawal at 2200 under orders to pull back through Ouren. An unidentified crew of a 447th Antiaircraft Artillery half-track drove straight onto the mines, its .50-caliber fire searching out the enemy riflemen. Like all such units, however, the 26th was geared to foot power and horsepower; there were 5,000 horses in the division, including a few of the tough "winterized" Russian breed. Thus deployed on the right of the 424th Infantry, the 112th was another piece filling out the fast developing "island defense" of St. Vith. But the tactical effect of this artillery preparation was considerably less than the German planners had anticipated. In the late evening of 16 December German artillery began to range into Clerf, apparently covering the advance of patrols from Marnach. It had held on at Munshausen, with the 110th Cannon Company and a section of tank destroyers, all through the 17th.12 The riflemen and cannoneers made a fight of it, barricading the village streets with overturned trucks, fighting from house to house.
