Heinrich successfully convinced Leopold, and the two of them exchanged views one last time, simultaneously convening a meeting with the commanders of the entire brigade to refine the details of the operational plan.
Officers above the company level were present at this meeting. Due to the tight schedule, it was important for them to prepare in advance.
Heixinggen only had two infantry regiments and a combat battalion directly under the brigade headquarters, with just twenty or thirty officers above the company level.
Due to the needs of war, the command post was not set up in a civilian area but in a separately constructed semi-bunker style building, built hastily, making it rather cramped. The officers of Heixinggen's brigade gathered in the small space of the command post, and the operational meeting commenced.
