104 th Brigade, the Serbs committed additional reinforcements - an infantry company and
a tank platoon, which opened fi re on the left fl ank of the 110 th Home Guard Regiment
from Jelaš and Latković. 291
Aft er this setback the Command of the Karlovac Corps District desisted from
committing the 104 th Brigade to the mission, and decided to attempt a breakthrough
towards Turanj - Slunjska Brda with the 110 th Home Guard Regiment. 292 In the judgment
of the HV General Staff the attack was to be sustained with the 104 th Brigade in the zone
of responsibility of the 110 th Home Guard Regiment. At Ogulin the HV 14 th and 143 rd
Home Guard Regiments were to sustain their assault. 293 Because of ineff ectiveness of the
99 th Brigade one of its companies was attached to the 143 rd Home Guard Regiment for
action on 5 August. At the same time a combat group was formed with about 250 troops
from the same brigade and subordinated to the advance command post at Karlovac. 294
On the second day of the operation (5 August), in the Ogulin theatre the 143 rd Home
Guard Regiment seized Mount Hum and pushed on to Plaški and Plavča Draga. During
the night the regiment pushed back the Serbian forces towards Vrelo Mrežnice, gained
control of the Plavča Draga - Tobolić road and Plaščanska Dolina, liberated Plaški and
advanced towards Vrelo Mrežnice. 295 “With major eff orts” the main body of the HV 99 th
Brigade was shift ed towards Sabljaki - Plaški - Plavča Draga in order to follow the 143 rd
Home Guard Regiment and protect the right fl ank of the thrust. 296
In the night of 4 August the 14 th Home Guard Regiment committed new forces and
mounted the attack in the morning. Having gained control of Raletina - Kurjevac -
Primišlje - Glumačka Glavica and liberated Primišlje, the regiment accomplished fully
its mission for the fi rst phase of the attack. 297
