After a fifteen-minute ride, they reached a battery of 105s off the side of the roadOn an impulse he told his driver to turn in, and the jeep jounced over a crude culvert made by aligning empty gasoline drums in a ditch and covering them with earthThe wheels sloughed through the mud of the motor pool, and they came to a halt on a stretch of relatively dry earthThe guard at the entrance had phoned the Captain, who came up to the jeep to meet the General

After he had hung up, the Major groaned to himselfNow everything would have to be moved aroundThe reserve company he had alerted from the 460th would have to fill in the flanks and rear of the salient and would be spread thinWhy had the Japs left? Was it a trap?
