I enjoyed reading this chapter,,
I could not help but study the battle, the OPFOR were doomed when they took the bait and became forced to move parallel to the blocker,,[sic the lake] this led them directly into ambush by the maneuvering 'stick' ,,then destruction came by the 'hammer onto the anvil'.
A classic battlefield tactic. Though the 'stick' could have used another rifleman,.
In my day this was called 'Fire Force'.
Thanks for the read.
