Hindered in its advance only by a few snipers, 1/2nd KAR then moved into the northern hills, where the German main body and the remaining rearguard were located, and promptly came under machine gun fire. This only briefly halted the King's African Rifles soldiers, and overall the German rearguard offered only light resistance to 1/2nd KAR until it was forced to retreat northwards in disorder around 15.00.

The Schutztruppe on the march. Difficult terrain such as seen here could greatly hinder effective operations, as it was the case at Lioma.
While this was happening, Lettow-Vorbeck had already ordered his western units to retreat after Hptm. Göring was wounded. Having lost several officers and NCOs on the battle's first day, he could simply risk no more casualties among them. As there was almost no communication possible between the different detachements due to the problematic terrain, Lettow-Vorbeck noticed the attack on his rearguard units only when he had begun to ascend the northern hills with the withdrawing Abt Göring and Abt Müller. By then it had become too late for the German commander to make contact with or aid the now beleaguered forces of Stemmermann and Wahle.
That the Germans did not suffered more casualties among their rearguard was thanks to the false reports of captured German askaris, who massively exaggerated the Schutztruppe's remaining strength when being questioned by 1/2nd KAR. Thus discouraged, the latter stopped its pursuit of the Germans, regrouped, and only resumed to cautiously advance at 16.00. The British forces coming from the east and west finally met around 17.00, by which all German units had managed to successfully escape northwards. Due to the difficult terrain, however, the communications between the retreating Schutztruppe forces had "become hopelessly muddled" and order had also largely broken down: The western vanguard units, attempting to climb the steep northern granite hills, had become lost, while the situation among the main body was also chaotic. Only late into the night was Lettow-Vorbeck, who was still with Abt Müller and Abt Göring, able to reestablish contact and eventually reunite with the main body under Wahle. One German detachement under Hptm. Köhl even became so completely lost that it was only able to reunite with the rest of the Schutztruppe after several days.
Aftermath

Captured Schutztruppe soldiers wait for their rations at a prisoner-of-war camp. The Germans suffered heavy casualties at Lioma, though Lettow-Vorbeck's force nevertheless remained active.

⇒進軍を妨げていたのは少数の狙撃兵だけだったので、第1/2 KAR隊は、ドイツ軍の主要部隊と残りの後衛部が位置する北部の丘陵地帯に移動したが、即座に機関銃の射撃を受けた。しかしこれは、王有アフリカライフル隊を一時停止させたに過ぎず、15時ごろ陣形が乱れて北部へ撤退せざるを得なくなるまでは、全体的に見てドイツ軍の後援部は第1/2 KAR隊に軽く抵抗しただけだった。

＞The Schutztruppe on the march. Difficult terrain such as seen here could greatly hinder effective operations, as it was the case at Lioma.
⇒❏ 行進中の植民地保護隊 □。リオマの場合同様、ここに見られるような難しい地形は、効果的な作戦行動を大きく妨げる可能性があった。

⇒これ（ドイツ軍後援部の抵抗）が起こっている間、すでにレトウ=フォルベックは、ゲーリング大尉が負傷したあと、西部の部隊に対して退却するよう命じていた。戦闘の初日に数人の将校やNCO（無任所将校）を失ったため、彼らの中にそれ以上の負傷者を出すわけにはいかなかったのである。問題のある地形に起因して、異なる分遣隊の間ではほとんど通信ができなかったため、レトウ=フォルベックは、ゲーリング隊とミュラー隊を退去させて北部の丘を登り始めたときになってようやく後衛部隊に対する攻撃に気づいた。そのときにはすでに、ドイツ軍の司令官としてシュテンマーマン軍団やワフレ軍団という、今や悩みのタネとなった軍団と通信したり、援助したりするにはあまりにも遅すぎた。

The British forces coming from the east and west finally met around 17.00, by which all German units had managed to successfully escape northwards.
⇒捕縛されたドイツ軍の（アフリカ）現地人兵士が第1/2 KAR隊に尋問された際に、植民地保護隊の残存軍勢の強さを大げさに誇張した虚偽報告のおかげで、ドイツ軍の後衛部はそれ以上の死傷者を被ることはなかった。こうして落胆した後者（第1/2 KAR隊）は、ドイツ軍の追撃を止め、隊を再編成して、16時に慎重な進軍を再開した。東と西から来た英国軍団同士が、最終的に17時ごろ出会ったので、それによってすべてのドイツ軍部隊が何とか首尾よく北方へ逃れた。

⇒しかし、困難な地形のため、後退する植民地保護隊の軍団間の通信が「絶望的に混乱した」し、秩序も大きく崩壊してしまった。すなわち、西部の先遣部隊は、険しい北部の花崗岩の丘を登ろうとして道に迷って行方不明になり、一方本体の中も混沌が起こっていた。夜遅くなってようやく、まだミュラー隊やゲーリング隊と一緒にいたレトウ=フォルベックが連絡を取り直し、最終的にワフレのもとで本体と再会することができた。ドイツ軍コフル大尉麾下の一分遣隊は、完全に迷ったので、辛うじて数日後になってようやく植民地保護隊の残存兵と再会することができた。

＞Aftermath
　Captured Schutztruppe soldiers wait for their rations at a prisoner-of-war camp. The Germans suffered heavy casualties at Lioma, though Lettow-Vorbeck's force nevertheless remained active.
⇒余波
　捕縛された植民地保護隊の兵士は、捕虜収容所で割り当ての糧食を待つ。レトウ=フォルベックの軍団は依然として活発なままであったが、ドイツ軍はリオマで甚大な被害を被った。
