The Russian draws a bead on the figure.Marcel’s speech is lost in the sound of gunfire and explosions as Normand and Lavareaux cut loose and Vidal and Sgt. Duval each toss their grenades. Vidal watches helplessly as his grenade falls short, then marvels as it bounces off a rock and explodes amid the mass of charging men. Duval throws two grenades of his own into the fellaghas, and the three blasts are punctuated by screams of the wounded and dying. As the dust clears Pyotr realizes that his target is down as well as the survivors of the charging fells dive for cover among the rocks.Normand squeezes the trigger and feels the kick of his rifle. He sees his target stumble as the bullet hits, but the fellagha keeps coming, dropping to the ground with the others that made it past the barrage of grenades. The section racing across the desert to the northwest comes through the legionnaires’ fire as well, seeking cover in the gully to the north of the hill.The roar of the jets is louder now, and to the north two gray shapes can be seen racing low across the desert. End of round 33.For the start of round 34, range from the legionnaires in G6/7 (Marcel, Normand, and Lavareaux) to the fellaghas in E6/7 is 140’ (-2 to hit) - the range from the paras in F7 (Vidal and Duval) is 30’ (no penalty to hit).</blockquote>
