Right
now
I
was
trying
to
spot
their
waterworks
;
a
direct
hit
on
it
could
make
the
whole
city
uninhabitable
,
force
them
to
evacuate
it
without
directly
killing
anyone
--
just
the
sort
of
nuisance
we
had
been
sent
down
to
commit
.
It
should
--
according
to
the
map
we
had
studied
under
hypnosis
--
be
about
three
miles
upstream
from
where
I
was
.
But
I
could
n't
see
it
;
my
jumps
did
n't
take
me
high
enough
,
maybe
.
I
was
tempted
to
go
higher
but
I
remembered
what
Migliaccio
had
said
about
not
trying
for
a
medal
,
and
stuck
to
doctrine
.
I
set
the
Y-rack
launcher
on
automatic
and
let
it
lob
a
couple
of
little
bombs
every
time
I
hit
.
I
set
fire
to
things
more
or
less
at
random
in
between
,
and
tried
to
find
the
waterworks
,
or
some
other
worth-while
target
.
Well
,
there
was
something
up
there
at
the
proper
range
--
waterworks
or
whatever
,
it
was
big
.
So
I
hopped
on
top
of
the
tallest
building
near
me
,
took
a
bead
on
it
,
and
let
fly
.
As
I
bounced
down
I
heard
Jelly
:
"
Johnnie
!
Red
!
Start
bending
in
the
flanks
.
"
I
acknowledged
and
heard
Red
acknowledge
and
switched
my
beacon
to
blinker
so
that
Red
could
pick
me
out
for
certain
,
took
a
range
and
bearing
on
his
blinker
while
I
called
out
,
"
Second
Section
!
Curve
in
and
envelop
!
Squad
leaders
acknowledge
!
"
Fourth
and
Fifth
squads
answered
,
"
Wilco
"
;
Ace
said
,
"
We
're
already
doin
'
it
--
pick
up
your
feet
.
"
Red
's
beacon
showed
the
right
flank
to
be
almost
ahead
of
me
and
a
good
fifteen
miles
away
.
Golly
!
Ace
was
right
;
I
would
have
to
pick
up
my
feet
or
I
would
never
close
the
gap
in
time
--
and
me
with
a
couple
of
hundredweight
of
ammo
and
sundry
nastiness
still
on
me
that
I
just
had
to
find
time
to
use
up
.
We
had
landed
in
a
V
formation
,
with
Jelly
at
the
bottom
of
the
V
and
Red
and
myself
at
the
ends
of
the
two
arms
;
now
we
had
to
close
it
into
a
circle
around
the
retrieval
rendezvous
...
which
meant
that
Red
and
I
each
had
to
cover
more
ground
than
the
others
and
still
do
our
full
share
of
damage
.
At
least
the
leapfrog
advance
was
over
with
once
we
started
to
encircle
;
I
could
quit
counting
and
concentrate
on
speed
.
It
was
getting
to
be
less
healthy
to
be
anywhere
,
even
moving
fast
.
We
had
started
with
the
enormous
advantage
of
surprise
,
reached
the
ground
without
being
hit
(
at
least
I
hoped
nobody
had
been
hit
coming
in
)
,
and
had
been
rampaging
in
among
them
in
a
fashion
that
let
us
fire
at
will
without
fear
of
hitting
each
other
while
they
stood
a
big
chance
of
hitting
their
own
people
in
shooting
at
us
--
if
they
could
find
us
to
shoot
at
,
at
all
.
(
I
'm
no
games-theory
expert
but
I
doubt
if
any
computer
could
have
analyzed
what
we
were
doing
in
time
to
predict
where
we
would
be
next
.
)
Nevertheless
the
home
defenses
were
beginning
to
fight
back
,
co-ordinated
or
not
.
I
took
a
couple
of
near
misses
with
explosives
,
close
enough
to
rattle
my
teeth
even
inside
armor
and
once
I
was
brushed
by
some
sort
of
beam
that
made
my
hair
stand
on
end
and
half
paralyzed
me
for
a
moment
--
as
if
I
had
hit
my
funny
bone
,
but
all
over
.
If
the
suit
had
n't
already
been
told
to
jump
,
I
guess
I
would
n't
have
got
out
of
there
.
Things
like
that
make
you
pause
to
wonder
why
you
ever
took
up
soldiering
--
only
I
was
too
busy
to
pause
for
anything
.
Twice
,
jumping
blind
over
buildings
,
I
landed
right
in
the
middle
of
a
group
of
them
--
jumped
at
once
while
fanning
wildly
around
me
with
the
hand
flamer
.
