1:40:00
Nothing that is not
in full view of those big guns there.
1:40:03
The only way is here,
through the Bab El Wad.
1:40:05
That's where we were ambushed
in the convoy last month.
1:40:08
The rest is high cliffs,
wild terrain, impossible to pass.
1:40:12
Our plan is for an armored attack
against the fort from this direction...
1:40:16
...a frontal assault
through the wheat field here...
1:40:19
...and a raid to knock out
their gun emplacements here.
1:40:21
- Tonight?
- Not a chance.
1:40:24
Tomorrow?
1:40:25
- Maybe.
- You can lose a war on "maybe. "
1:40:29
All right, we could try.
But the plan itself?
1:40:33
Very professional.
1:40:35
- You'd all get an "A" At West Point.
- Thank you.
1:40:39
I've just one suggestion:
1:40:41
I'd like an infantry unit
to outflank the entire position...
1:40:44
...then smash through this village
behind the fort.
1:40:46
They'd find themselves
threatened with being cut off...
1:40:49
...and they'd be forced to withdraw.
1:40:51
Maybe.
1:40:52
What do you mean?
1:40:53
You're speaking of coordinating
four different actions simultaneously.
1:40:57
You're not just playing in a sandbox.
This is for keeps.
1:41:00
The only chance against that firepower
is to complete the action before daylight.
1:41:04
- The whole action?
- What do you think?
1:41:06
It'll take split-second timing.
1:41:07
You might as well all start
getting used to it right now.
1:41:10
Synchronize to mine.
1:41:13
When I say "hack,"
It'll be exactly 11:05. Ready?
1:41:17
Three, two, one, hack.
1:41:21
Aluf Stone...
1:41:22
...you'll have to excuse us.
We don't have a watch.
1:41:54
The buses were held up by mechanical
difficulties, but now we're ready.
1:41:58
So is the Legion.
1:41:59
In half an hour,
it'll be light enough to read your obituary.
