"What! Weren't you there? Oh, I see! You found a nice place foryourself at the right time. Come here, Luis, I'll explain; let's gobehind that rock. From this meadow to the foot of the hill, there's noroad save this path below. To the right, the incline is too sharp; youcan't do anything there. And it's worse to the left; the ascent is sodangerous that a second's hesitation means a fall down those rocks anda broken neck at the end of it. All right! A number of men from Moya'sbrigade who went dow...n to the meadow decided to attack the enemy'strenches the first chance they got. The bullets whizzed about us, thebattle raged on all sides. For a time they stopped firing, so wethought they were being attacked from behind. We stormed theirtrenches--look, partner, look at that meadow! It's thick with corpses!Their machine guns did that for us. They mowed us down like wheat; onlya handful escaped. Those Goddamned officers went white as a sheet; eventhough we had reinforcements they were afraid to order a new charge.
