The Spanish soldier continued to do his job, showering hot rounds, freshly loaded into his weapon, southward. Sometimes, he had to adjust his fire so that he could hit targets going off the cardinal direction he had pointed himself towards. At the same time, he stayed in his position at all times, using his cover as his only protection against enemy return fire. 

Only when his machine gun started running out of rounds did he cry out, "I'm pulling back!" and got up from his position and ran at least five meters back, closer to his friends, before establishing himself behind a large boulder. From there, he kept firing on the enemy targets, even if they ran.
