Perhaps if you had more men you could accomplish such a worthy feat but for now you feel your energies are best spent completing your objective and you leave the gun battery behind, hoping that a larger force will soon pass through and eliminate the threat they pose to your fellow soldiers.
You continue for several minutes, passing the bodies of several soldiers, both friend and foe alike. It would appear a firefight took place here not long ago. Boot prints lead off to the southwest and you hope that some of your allies are heading that way. If you hurry, you might be able to catch up with them and find strength and comfort in numbers.
The walk remains treacherous, for the enemy could be everywhere. For the longest time you walk in silence. Even the ever-present sounds of artillery and anti aircraft fire seem muted. The grassy terrain suddenly ends and you find yourself on a narrow dirt road heading in the direction you hope to travel.
