The French managed to get one counter-attack going with their tanks. They would have hit the Germans hard because both the German tanks and anti-tank guns were too light to stop the French tanks. But the combined-weapons tactics of the Germans were far superior and the German Stuka’s stopped the counter-attacks without them reaching the German armor.

Not sure if it was the same operation but I have read that DeGaulle saw a weakness in the German supply lines and attacked.

It was very near successful but the German soldiers basically won the day by their determination and bravery.
