 At and in poor visibility, the 7th Hussars tried to find the rear of the Italian column and cut the road west of Beda Fomm, just as another big convoy arrived from the north.The convoy was escorted by M13s, which forced back the hussars and showed that the 10th Army had far more than sixty tanks, since that many had already been knocked out.Support from the 1st RTR was needed but having emerged from the sandstorm near Antelat, it had to refuel before moving.
