But they faced determined German resistance and within three days only 92 tanks out of the original 378 remained operational. After facing a savage counter-attack by the Germans using aircraft, gas, and storm troops, the British fell back to form a defensive line.Fighting continued throughout the winter, and early in 1918 the German Command, strengthened by divisions brought from the Russian front, decided to launch a massive offensive to gain final victory. On March 21, in the morning fog, they attacked, and supported by artillery from over 6,000 guns, advanced 14 miles within three days. In May, they drove the French Army back 40 miles.
