Delayed Disruption; Night Disruption

[Liebchen]

Sorry you suffered this. This question is: how would one know that the enemy is disrupted in a battalion level engagement?

When the volume of fire from the guys in the woods opposite you starts to thin out, when their movements start to appear less coordinated and purposeful, when sections of their line appear to be unmanned because either it is or the guys in that part of the line are cowering in their foxholes....

There are ways to tell when the "iron is hot."
