Takrouna village was a particularly difficult objective in the battle, a stone outcrop nearly 1,000 feet high. On the night of 19 April, the 2nd New Zealand Division attacked under the cover of heavy artillery fire, but the 28th ''Maori'' Battalion suffered heavy casualties in the failed attack, especially among the officers. The Italian defenders put up a fierce defence for another day and night before the two New Zealand brigades, with extra artillery support, finally captured Takrouna.
