Neumann doesn’t seem to notice as a round tears through the shoulder of his smock while Gonzalez yelps when a bullet pelts him with fragments of iron-stained limestone. As the bullets whirr past the legionnaires the other fells creep along the gully – more of the insurgents scramble over the edge of the oued behind their comrades. End of round 16.Pyotr watches the fells intently. The last group to clamber over the edge of the wash includes a muscular Arab with a machine gun carried over one shoulder, followed closely by an assistant draped with belts of ammunition. Like their fellows, they make a short run and drop to the gravelly bed of the gully.A bullet from Neumann’s Mauser finds its target among the fellaghas advancing on the legionnaires, the man first twisting on the ground, then becoming still. “Watch for a rush by that lead squad,” he shouts over the din of gunfire. “If they charge, throw a grenade then fall back!” Further east the rest of the legionnaires cross a small gully and find themselves among the sheltering rocks at last. Lavareaux looks to Duval – the sergent-chef gives his orders quickly as he drops to one knee. “They’re trying to pin down Neumann’s group, cut them off,” he says evenly, looking over the desert toward the German’s position. “Lavareaux, take Berg and Fortier, keep moving up the hill, past those bushes there,” he continues, gesturing toward the scrubby nose of the slope, “and cover Neumann. Gaspard, you and I stay here and protect our flank. Understood?”Lavareaux nods. “Let’s go,” he says to the two légionnaires.Revised initiative order, start of round 17 –Pyotr 22Normand 18Sgt.
