This frozen moment was first destroyed by a slight vibration. Next,in the rocky area on the border of those plains,the sounds of the pieces of stones rolling down over the ground and the sounds of boats were heard. The soldiers, running, came out of the break in the rock and rapidly climbed down the hill. Every part of them, except their uniforms,was covered with black mud. They were tired, for nearly two days they were trying to live on the rations and now they had to run across a long distance with nearly 40 kg loads on them. Their only chance was to run downhill; however, they were confronted with a condition as difficult as traversing this distance without being seen by the foreign military unit nearly two km beyond.
First Lieutenant Alper, who was the leader of the vanguard observation team consisting of twelve soldiers, began to run ahead rapidly downwards and the privates rushed forwards after him with great speed.
It was nearly impossible for them to be seen from even one hundred meters, let alone two km. The shadows in the dark slid rapidly down the hill, the running went on for a while on the plain.
