After a successful flank attack eliminates every defending unit, does the defender still fire back on the Corps 0 column?
The rulebook does not spell this out; the designer's later post and the Rally the Troops fix agree, and an earlier WBC ruling was the other way.

No. With no defending units or Fort left in the space, the defender has no Combat Factors to fire with, so there is no return fire. An earlier web ruling said the defender still fires, but a later post by the designer overturned it, and the Rally the Troops card was changed to match.
