the target or a round beyond the target. Page 249.
On targets located within dangerous proximity of our own troops, the initial
elevation is increased by 200 meter--t. When the round is beyond the target,
the burst is brought nearer to the target by a burst (craters) reference or
successive range bounds of 100 meters.

[FIRE] UPON MOVING TARGETS
Movement of the target depending on the approach angle (the angle between the
direction of target movement and the directiork to the weapon) can be:
Frontal--at angle of approach of 0-50 degrees and 1.50-180 degree
Flanking--at angle of approach of 0-30 degrees and 60-120 degree:,
Oblique--at angle of approach of 30-60 degrees and 120-150 degrees
For allowance of travel, for the flight time of the shell, lateral lead is.
