guderian was mistaken in his opinion: on 17 may, xix army corps received orders from von kleist to stop the advance. guderian was personally visited by von kleist at 07:00, and, in his version of the story in his memoirs, accused of ignoring supreme command orders, without von kleist considering the performance of xix army corps soldiers in the field. guderian then asked to be relieved of command, to which von kleist ordered he should request such a dismissal from von rundstedt, the commander of the army group. upon doing so, guderian was inversely instructed to remain in his post for the time being and to wait for wilhelm list and his 12th army. list arrived in the afternoon and fully reversed von kleist's suspension of guderian. while this conflict of leadership was taking place, the soldiers of xix army corps continued to fight in the field. 1st panzer division captured ribemont and crécy-sur-serre, thus reaching the river oise and its tributary, the serre. 10th panzer division was at last freed from rearguard duty and rejoined the advance, taking fraillicourt and saulces-monclin. at the evening of the 17th, a bridgehead on the other side of the oise was established by vanguard units. it was also 17 may when the battle of stonne finally concluded with german victory - the town that had been contested since the morning hours of 15 may had changed owners seventeen times from the initial german victory at 08:00 on the 15th and was, at 17:45 on the 17th, at last in german hands permanently.
