On the left flank of the advance, Batalion Puscasi No.2, supported by tanks of the 7th Tank Regiment, had finally broke through the Soviets’ defensive position at the crossroad; but no sooner had the infantry cleared the wood line, when it came under fire from the next Soviet position. While the Romanian infantry advanced under Soviet mortar and machine-gun fire, their supporting tanks struggled to free themselves from the last position and catch up.
