Shire's First Armored Corps occupied Hasselt and handed it over to Belgium's First Special Reconnaissance Corps for defense.
To some extent, the Belgian Army was more suitable for guarding Hasselt.
It is a Belgian city, where Albert I can easily raise a militia. His regular army and militia can unite under his command to resist foreign invaders, fighting with several times the strength they usually possess.
Freed up, the First Armored Corps continued to advance, reaching the Belgium-Holland border within a few hours.
Seeing the French Army gathering at the border, Dutch soldiers felt as if facing a formidable enemy, instantly organizing a defense in the trenches with their troops armed with rifles.
Tijani and a group of French soldiers found the Dutch defense lines and soldiers somewhat incomprehensible.
