The Meuse River frontline gradually stabilized under the collective efforts of several generals.
Petain was responsible for the defense south of Bicangxi, while Fuxu's troops took charge of the north, roughly splitting the frontline in half.
The defense zones were also divided, approximately drawing a line centered on Bicangxi, with each area managed by one general.
The primary task at present was to handle prisoners, and both sides, as well as the army, had many disagreements over this issue.
The reason was that the line, with the center as the boundary, inevitably crossed certain villages and towns, leading to the question of which forces the German Army in those towns should surrender to.
In some towns, the German soldiers stationed there were surrounded by large numbers of French Army troops. They had already surrendered, but the uncertainty about to whom they should surrender delayed the process by three to four days.
