Chances1931

The General:
Well, now, here's the situation, gentlemen. At 9:40 tomorrow night, your batteries will move up and occupy these positions.

Maj. Bradford:
Yes sir.

The General:
Then, when Jerry attacks in force, your battery, Bradford, will fall back.

Maj. Bradford:
Retreat, sir?

The General:
Don't be so infernally British, Bradford. As an assault to your patriotism, you may be interested to hear that we intend to drive a wedge into the right flank of the German advance.

Maj. Bradford:
Oh, I see sir. Then, my retreat is only a blind.

The General:
Exactly.
