Follow Figure 34 when advancing. First, move soldier 1 -- if you wish to

cover his movement, turn soldier number 4 to face the front. Now shift soldier 2

and then, quickly, number 4. It is possible to cover number 4 by turning number

2 around so he is facing the rear. Last, shift number 3 into the space between

numbers 1 and 4.

You will usually have two soldiers moving along a passage (see Fig. 35).

Both of them will be aiming forward, but from time to time check the rear. When

advancing, take turns covering each other.

Moving in Large Rooms

Similar rules apply for movement in large rooms. It is very important to move

along the sides and keep watch of all the entrances through which enemies might

approach. You will find more on this in chapter Close Range Combat - Street

Combat.

Retreat

Should the opposition be too heavy, you may have to retreat. Any attempt at

retreating in buildings is complicated by the limited space. Retreat along the

walls, with covering fire coming from the middle of the passage.

Another variation is to retreat along one wall while one member of the team,

positioned by the opposite wall, provides the cover.

During the retreat you’ll need covering fire from an automatic weapon (sub-

machine gun, machine gun, etc.). If there is a heavy concentration of enemy sol-

diers, it is useful to throw a timed hand grenade just before you start retreating.

An attacker will definitely be unpleasantly surprised at what he finds instead of

you. (Remember-don’t try this with a German “potato masher” contact grenade.)
