Canadian M10s break out of their concealed positions to hit the Russians hard. |
The Canadians set up their defense around the two Russian objectives. The Russians launched an aggressive assault across the whole front. The Canadians, who were surprised by the attack of their erstwhile allies, were in a difficult situation as they would have to wait for reinforcements to arrive.
While they couldn't launch a counterattack the Canadian weren't about to let the Russians walk over them. Canadian Sexton SP artillery had some difficulty zeroing in on the enemy, but their M10s and Shermans took out several Russian tanks. Meanwhile Russian infantry proceeded to advance.

Canadian reinforcements swarm an objective and intense fighting ensures. |
Just when things were looking desperate, Canadian reinforcements finally showed up. They kept moving up and swung around the Russian left flank. This forced the Russian commander to switch much of his force over to defend an objective.
If the Canadian reinforcements had showed up earlier things might have been different, but their delayed appearance meant they couldn't affect the outcome of the battle and the Russians seized their objectives and forced the Canadians back.
