[2]After the loss of Široki Brijeg, the German line was reduced to the immediate defense of the city of Mostar from the west and south.

In these positions for five days, variable fights were conducted with a large number of limited penetrations and counterattacks.

The headquarters of the Partisan Eighth Corps issued an order on February 12 to direct an all-out attack on Mostar.

During his occupation of the western part of the city, the commander of the 370th Regiment, Major Becker, was also killed.

Attacks by the First, Sixth and Eleventh Dalmatian Brigades at 6 pm, liquidated this bridgehead, and attempts to demolish the Neretva bridges were prevented.
