=75.= Success in these attacks depends on quickness of movement. There are three simple attacks--the =straight=, the =disengagement=, and the =counter disengagement=. They are not preceded by a feint. =76.= In the =straight= the bayonet is directed straight at an opening from the engaged position. Contact with the opponent's rifle may or may not be abandoned while making it. If the opening be high or low, contact with the rifle will usually be abandoned on commencing the attack. If the opening be near his guard, the light pressure used in the engage may be continued in the attack. Example: Being at the =engage right=, 1. =Number one, at neck= (head, chest, right leg, etc.), =thrust=; 2. =Number two, parry right=; 3. =ASSAULT.= =77.= In the =disengagement= contact with the opponent's rifle is abandoned and the point of the bayonet is circled under or over his bayonet or rifle and directed into the opening attacked. This attack is delivered by one continuous spiral movement of the bayonet from the moment contact is abandoned. Example: Being at the =engage right=, 1. =Number one, at stomach= (left chest, left leg, etc.), =thrust=; 2. =Number two, parry left= (etc.); 3. =ASSAULT.= =78.= In the =counter disengagement= a swift attack is made into the opening disclosed while the opponent is attempting to change the engagement of his rifle. It is delivered by one continuous spiral movement of the bayonet into the opening. Example: Being at the =engage right=, 1. =Number two, engage left=; 2. =Number one, at chest, thrust=; 3. =Number two, parry left=; 4. =ASSAULT.= Number two initiates the movement, number one thrusts as soon as the opening is made, and number two then attempts to parry. =79.= A =counter attack= or =return= is one made instantly after or in continuation of a parry. The parry should be as narrow as possible. This makes it more difficult for the opponent to recover and counter parry. The counter attack should also be made at or just before the full extension of the opponent's attack, as when it is so made a simple extension of the arms will generally be sufficient to reach the opponent's body. Example: Being at =engage=, 1. =Number two, at chest, lunge=; 2. =Number one, parry right=, and at stomach (chest, head, etc.), =thrust=; 3. =ASSAULT.= ATTACKS ON THE RIFLE. =80.= These movements are made for the purpose of forcing or disclosing an opening into which an attack can be made. They are the =press=, the =beat=, and the =twist=. =81.= In the =press= the attack quickly presses against the opponent's bayonet or rifle with his own and continues the pressure as the attack is delivered. Example: Being at the =engage=, 1. =Number one, press=, and at chest, =thrust=; 2. =Number two, parry right=; 3. =ASSAULT.= =82.= The attack by =disengagement= is particularly effective following the =press=. Example: Being at the =engage=, 1. =Number one, press=, and at stomach, =thrust=; 2. =Number two, low parry left=; 3. =ASSAULT.=
