German counter-attack, 25 September 1917
The German counter-attack of 25 September 1917 took place during the Third Battle of Ypres on the Western Front during the First World War. On the British X Corps (Lieutenant-General Thomas Morland) front, south of I Anzac Corps, two regiments of the German 50th Reserve Division attacked on a front, on either side of the Reutelbeek, supported by aircraft and and batteries of artillery, four times the usual amount of artillery for a division. The attack was due at but the barrage fell short onto the German assembly area and the German infantry fell back until the bombardment began to creep forward at
The German infantry managed to advance on the flanks, for about near the Menin road and north of the Reutelbeek, close to Black Watch Corner, supported by artillery-observation and ground-attack aircraft and a box-barrage fired behind the British front-line by the artillery, which isolated the British defenders from reinforcements and cut off the supply of ammunition. Return-fire from the 33rd Division (Major-General Reginald Pinney) and the 15th Australian Brigade of the 5th Australian Division (Major-General Talbot Hobbs) along the southern edge of Polygon wood, forced the attackers under cover around some of the ドイツ語:''Wilhelm'' line pillboxes, near Black Watch Corner, at the south-western edge of Polygon Wood. German attempts to reinforce the attacking troops failed, due to British artillery observers isolating the advanced German troops with artillery barrages.

The 98th Brigade was to advance and cover the right flank of the 5th Australian Division and the 100th Brigade was to re-capture the lost ground further south. The 5th Australian Division advance the next day began with uncertainty as to the security of the right flank; the attack of the depleted 98th Brigade was delayed and only managed to reach Black Watch Corner, short of its objectives. Reinforcements moved forward into the 5th Australian Division area to the north and attacked south-westwards at noon, as a frontal attack was made from Black Watch Corner without artillery support, because troops were known to be holding out in the area captured by the Germans the day before. The attack succeeded by against massed machine-gun fire and later in the afternoon, the 100th Brigade re-took the ground lost north of Menin road. Casualties in the 33rd Division were so great that it was relieved on 27 September by the 23rd Division, which had only been withdrawn on the night of
