RBC: Chapter Four.

Henry and other stay back preparing to fight. They observe the others on the field (304th and veterans). The enemies come and they begin their fighting. They have been waiting for this. Battle comes quickly and shots are inevitable. Everything at once hit and many had to run and duck from bullets. The lieutenant was shot in the hand in the midst of this. They bind his hand and back into the battle he goes as if nothing can stop him. Or that if he tried to stop he would be killed anyway so that would be foolish. The men ran out from smoke as bullets were firing and the rest watched in great horror. It was as if they were down there dying and nothing could be done about it. The faces of the men brought it worse. Henry was thinking about how not even a higher power could have made him stay if he could have grasped his brain around the concept of making his legs move. It was almost as if the only thing that mattered in these battles was that he could run away fast enough.
