Expect enemy counter-attacks from the west, in increasing strength as the Germans are able to regroup and gather their forces. Falling back from Schijndel will mean being forced to defend right before the Veghel bridge, a critical crossing point for XXX Corps. Though it may take some time, 15th Army is moving into the area west of the Allied breakthrough, and we will eventually gather the forces necessary for a decisive counter-attack in this sector. You must move swiftly and smash through the American paratroopers before other ground forces can come to reinforce them. Break through to the Veghel bridge and you not only cut the Allied corridor, you may be able to destroy the bridge and cause a disasterous delay in their operation.
