Ngā kakari i te kōanga

Nō te putanga o Rūhia i te pakanga, kotahi anake te ara mā Tiamani, kia kōkiritia te Pae o te Uru e āna ope taua katoa – mā konā anake e wikitōria ai rātou. Ki te nui haere ngā ope o Amerika ki Wīwī, ka riro i te Ope Haumi kē te wikitōria.

Ka whakaekea ngā ope o Piritana ki Somme e Tiamani mā ngā rautaki whawhai hou e kīia ana ko ngā tikanga 'stormtroop'. Ka pakaru te aro-ā-kapa o Piritana, e 40km te whānui, e 65km te roa o te kuhunga a ngā ope o Tiamani. Ka tere ngā Ope Haumi (ko te Ope o Niu Tīreni anō hoki) ki te tonga mai i Flanders, hei aukati i te whāruarua e noho tuwhera ana.

E whā anō ngā kōkiringa a ngā ope Tiamana, i tino raru ai ngā Ope Haumi, engari kīhai i eke ki te wikitōria i manakohia e Tiamani. E 500,000 ā rātou hōia i hinga, ko te nuinga ko ana toa tuatahi, arā, ko ngā 'stormtroopers'. I pērā anō hoki te tokomaha o te Ope Haumi i hinga. Engari, i a Tiamani e whakahau ana i ngā tamatāne 17 tau noa iho ngā tau ki te kuhu atu ki te whawhai, i ia marama, e 300,000 ngā hōia Amerikana ka tae atu ki te pae o te riri mō ngā Whenua Haumi.
