French term or phrase: groupes de retardement
Hallo,

was ist hiermit gemeint? Ich kann es mir vage vorstellen, aber bin mir aufgrund des "accroché" total unsicher.

Si plusieurs divisions britanniques se sont efforcées d’enrayer l’attaque allemande avec des moyens souvent dérisoires – des barricades de fortune dans les rues d’Armentières ou de Bailleul, des *****groupes de retardement***** accrochés aux remblais ferroviaires –, d’autres en revanche s’effondrent sous la violence de l’impact ; il en est de même pour le Corps expéditionnaire portugais, qui vole en éclats devant Neuve-Chapelle.
