Note 39 — Chapter IX · BATTERY TACTICS. (continued 2)
Reading edition
—Battery commander has now corrected his lines and has established a “belt” of fire parallel to the front of his guns, through which the infantry must pass. In this example lines are not opened out. The whole “belt” can be shifted up and down, right or left, as the subsequent movement of the enemy may dictate, and a quick rate of battery or section fire can be employed as necessary.
