Attacking as a Team - Common Situations

Negotiating High Terrain in the Open Country

Large obstacles such as hills or large buildings can make progress through

the terrain very difficult. Figure 12 indicates bypassing such an obstacle. First of

all, reconnaissance men are sent to the left and right sides of the hill to survey the

area (best equipped with binoculars and automatic weapons). Then the two

remaining squad members approach one side of the hill and take up their firing

position there. The reconnaissance man from the other side of the hill will be the

last to get there.

When trying to get your man (e.g. your sniper) to the top of the hill, follow

the instructions on Figure 13. Recall your reconnaissance man and allow him to

move slowly towards the top together with another member of the squad provid-

ing cover. Proceed slowly, similar to the attacking a plateau. Throw hand

grenades onto the top of the hill before you reach it.

Attacking a Hilltop Plateau

By “plateau” we mean a flat area on top of a hill or other terrain obstacle. If

you suspect that the enemy occupies it, proceed according to Figure 14. First send

two team members as reconnaissance to the foot of the hill (best equipped with

binoculars and automatic weapons) with the rest of the team following slightly

behind. If you’re spotted, try to get to the foot of the hill as fast as possible in order

to get cover from enemy fire (see Figure 15). Before reaching the top of the hill,

throw a hand grenade. Run up to the top with your soldiers only after it has

exploded.

If there’s a higher point than your target plateau in the vicinity, try to occupy

it with a machine gun or sniper, it may help you to eliminate or weaken the

enemy’s defenses on the plateau. But beware! Your enemy may do the same thing,

so watch out for enemy snipers located on top of any hills.
