Yes

You
may
see
some
more
combat
engineers
.
Here
's
the
revised
plan
.
A
sapper
company
will
blast
down
and
cork
that
main
tunnel
where
it
comes
nearest
the
surface
,
either
at
your
left
flank
,
or
beyond
in
'
Head
Hunter
'
territory
.
At
the
same
time
another
engineer
company
will
do
the
same
where
that
tunnel
branches
about
thirty
miles
off
to
your
right
in
the
First
Regiment
's
bailiwick
.
When
the
corks
are
in
,
a
long
chunk
of
their
main
street
and
a
biggish
settlement
will
be
cut
off
.
Meanwhile
,
the
same
sort
of
thing
will
be
going
on
a
lot
of
other
places
.
Thereafter
--
we
'll
see
.
Either
the
Bugs
break
through
to
the
surface
and
we
have
a
pitched
battle
,
or
they
sit
tight
and
we
go
down
after
them
,
a
sector
at
a
time
.
"
"
I
see
.
"
I
was
n't
sure
that
I
did
,
but
I
understood
my
part
:
rearrange
my
listening
posts
;
let
half
my
platoon
sleep
.
Then
a
Bug
hunt
--
on
the
surface
if
we
were
lucky
,
underground
if
we
had
to
.
"
Have
your
flank
make
contact
with
that
sapper
company
when
it
arrives
.
Help
'
em
if
they
want
help
.
"
"
Right
,
Cap'n
,
"
I
agreed
heartily
.
Combat
engineers
are
almost
as
good
an
outfit
as
the
infantry
;
it
's
a
pleasure
to
work
with
them
.
In
a
pinch
they
fight
,
maybe
not
expertly
but
bravely
.
Or
they
go
ahead
with
their
work
,
not
even
lifting
their
heads
,
while
a
battle
rages
around
them
.
They
have
an
unofficial
,
very
cynical
and
very
ancient
motto
:
"
First
we
dig
'
em
,
then
we
die
in
'
em
,
"
to
supplement
their
official
motto
:
"
Can
do
!
"
Both
mottoes
are
literal
truth
.
"
Get
on
it
,
son
.
"
Twelve
listening
posts
meant
that
I
could
put
a
half
squad
at
each
post
,
either
a
corporal
or
his
lance
,
plus
three
privates
,
then
allow
two
of
each
group
of
four
to
sleep
while
the
other
two
took
turns
listening
.
Navarre
and
the
other
section
chaser
could
watch
the
crater
and
sleep
,
turn
about
,
while
section
sergeants
could
take
turns
in
charge
of
the
platoon
.
The
redisposition
took
no
more
than
ten
minutes
once
I
had
detailed
the
plan
and
given
out
bearings
to
the
sergeants
;
nobody
had
to
move
very
far
.
I
warned
everybody
to
keep
eyes
open
for
a
company
of
engineers
.
As
soon
as
each
section
reported
its
listening
posts
in
operation
I
clicked
to
the
wide
circuit
:
"
Odd
numbers
!
Lie
down
,
prepare
to
sleep
...
one
...
two
...
three
...
four
...
five
--
sleep
!
"
