>Every day, the infantry give after action reports on their experiences in clearing an urban environment. They rehearse whatever they can in the old bazaar, with a few taking the part as the enemy. They all confessed the assault from a few days ago was far more stressful than they could have imagined; who could be behind this door? Is there someone in the room? I can only look one way and there are four corners. Will this be the last door I enter? Lieutenant Shino Nozo had you all conduct room clearing drills for a few hours a day. He said you will most likely need them, even once the Field Guns arrive.>The infantry were largely armed with rifles fixed with bayonets. They said it was too long to enter rooms and turn corners, but the long reach and bayonet worked wonders in an open room and long hallway.<span class="mu-i">"One shot will drop them, all you gotta do is finish them off with your fish skewer. Aim well if you can."</span>
>They still preferred someone with a shotgun to enter first and had been cycling around their weapons when needed. Nobody wanted to be the first to enter the room, thus nobody wanted to hold onto a shotgun for that long.<span class="mu-i">"It's hard to miss, but you better hit at least once. You have two shots, don't go for the kill, just drop them and let your pals gut them."</span>
>The carbine was rare among the Infantry, but it had its uses.<span class="mu-i">"It's short like the shotgun, but it's so weak. It takes like three or four rounds just to drop a Tallie, and by then they're up on your face with no fish skewer at the end of your muzzle."</span>
>They noted that the carbine's higher rate of fire was best used outside as covering fire, dumping rounds into windows to allow the Infantry to assault.>You all continued your duties, drills, and sometimes patrols waiting for the rest of the army to arrive.>>6321879>Lieutenant Shino Nozo has been taking you with other officers, even General Reigen Mugen, around the base, climbing spires to look over the walls, making you draw as they discuss battle plans. They used a lot of vocabulary you didn't understand, though you understood very well that there was a plan to use the spires to signal the limit of advance. That means every spire must be taken.>>6321945"Training hard, boys?"
>Lieutenant Shino Nozo said this to you with a smirk every time he saw you coming out the basement after making a bunch noise. This little secret would be kept within the section, and you suddenly felt the thrill of being a young boy being told a secret from an older kid again.
