On June 13, 1940, the CONDE and the FAIDHERBE took up position at the edge of a small wood north of Souilly, 280 meters from the Ourcq Canal. Barely an hour into position and camouflage, the two tanks spotted an enemy motorized column approaching them, 2 km away. They let it approach until their presence was detected, and fire was opened on them. The two tanks, with their cannon and machine gun fire, knocked the entire column out within three-quarters of an hour.
After this battle, the CONDE and the FAIDHERBE were ordered to withdraw to the village, and their crews were relieved.
The CONDE was abandoned on June 14 or 15.
