As Sherman approached the Kennesaw line, Hood's Corps struck his right at Kolb Farm on June 22, but warned Federal forces repulsed Hood with a loss of 1,000 men. Sherman then decided to assault and cut the Southern center at Cheatham Hill and Little Kennesaw and destroy the fragments of Johnston's army. In those attacks on June 27, the entrenched Confederates suffered 800 casualties while Sherman lost 2,500 men. Afterward, the Federals again turned to less costly flanking tactics, which forced Johnston to give up his Kennesaw position.
