Moving Forward
Always move forward along a wall in a crouched position. If you are in the
middle of the street, lie down. When you are approaching an intersection, proceed
according to Figure 21 and keep to the side of the street from where you are expect-
ing any trouble. An unprepared enemy is less likely to notice you. Don’t forget to
check up the opposite arm of the intersection from time to time.
There are situations in the streets when it may be necessary to run from one
intersection to another. If you are alone, this can be very dangerous. Proceed
according to Figure 22. First of all, find out how far the enemies are in the street
marked A (see Reconnaissance). Should the enemy be too close, try to find anoth-
er way to eliminate the enemy. The last variation is an extreme solution for a lone
fighter. Should the enemy be quite far (50 m or more), an individual soldier may
attempt to run across the street. Again, this is a very risky maneuver! Sometimes the
enemy will try to pursue you; if so, it is advisable to wait a little after crossing the
street and check behind.
Other tactics in the streets are very limited, but in a pinch, almost anything is
possible - snipers, grenade throwing, etc.
Moving as a Team
Reconnaissance
In intricate streets, you cannot operate without reconnaissance. Reconnaissance
in streets differs from open country in that it is more aggressive and not limited to
just surveying and monitoring targets. The reconnaissance soldier should stay in
continuous contact with his fellow men; they can help if he gets in trouble.
His first task is to find enemy positions not visible to his team where enemy
snipers may be operating. It is necessary to evaluate these positions and establish
where the enemy snipers are aiming. Based on this information, it is possible to des-
ignate positions where the squad could eliminate the snipers. If you are able to catch
the enemy snipers unaware, try to eliminate them immediately. Remember: One for-
gotten enemy sniper represents at least one dead comrade!
