bibliography of the american revolutionary war
after taking the ametettaï valley, the french army and chadians planned a new operation in another valley, that of terz further south. the operation for the valley of terz is named panther vi by the french. the maneuver is close to panther iii ; gtia 3 is to enter the valley from the west, gtia 4 to the north by tahor pass to the north and chadians to the east to close the lock. however, the climatic conditions and the nature of the terrain put the vehicles and equipment of the chadian forces under severe strain. many armored vehicles have broken down, half of the amx-10 rc can no longer ride and 200 infantrymen have no more shoes. for three days, the mechanics repaired the two tank squadrons, sometimes "cannibalizing" other vehicles, while new pairs of shoes were collected and returned to french soldiers for two days. on march 11, chadians leave aguel'hoc accompanied by french mortar gunners. they bypass the adrar tigharghar from the south and recognize the assamalmal valley. a battle occurs around 15 hours after. in a statement, the chadian staff says that they had dead and wounded and have six dead and five prisoners among jihadists. however, general barrera does not mention in his war notes of killed on both sides during this conflict. later, he even said that chadian soldiers would have encountered a lone fighter. on the 13th, two chadians wounded by bullets are evacuated by a puma. on the 15th, the gtia 3 and 4 of the french army leave tessalit while the chadians leave the valley of assamalmal, to take position east of the valley of terz. the next day, the french enter the valley. the paratroopers do not encounter any resistance on the heights of tahor, some empty pickups are bombarded by the air force and quickly the soldiers discover arms depots and food in shooting positions. the armor of the gtia 4 is first preceded by sappers, but the column is late and must accelerate. around 16 pm, a tank amx 10 rc the 1 st rima hit a mine, three crew members were seriously burned and the driver is killed. the next day the gtia 3 gives up passing through the west entrance, considered too narrow and too risky, it bypasses the north to take the path taken by the gtia 4, now secure. but while the french and chadians expected to find strong resistance, it turns out that terz was recently abandoned by jihadists. the valley is searched, a pickup containing a large stock of ammunition and shells is destroyed by the engineers. a 14.5 mm machine gun, an anti-tank gun spg-9, mortars and a missile 107 107 type firing station are also found in a cache. on march 20, the french and chadian make their junction and operation panther vi ends the next day.
