Personifiction
This is an example of personification, where the cold is given human-like qualities of reluctance. It helps create a vivid image of the changing weather and sets a mood for the scene.
It uses personification twice, between Earth, the hills, and the Army soldiers all "stretched out", and the cold, the fog, and the men "stretched out" on the hills "resting". The second (the cold, the fog, stretched out, "resting") brings an image of death, of being "stretched out resting" or "laid out" for a funeral viewing, even if at the time no one was dead yet in the story. Altogether, it brings a feeling of foreboding, of an unfolding of events that cannot be stopped, and that is beyond any one person's power to control the outcome.
elasticity
The rock will break because it can be stretched no farther. An object stretched beyond its elastic limit may be deformed (adopt a new permanent resting shape) or break.
Elastic potential energy is possessed by an elastic cord when it is stretched. This energy is stored in the cord due to the deformation of its shape and can be released when the cord returns to its original state, causing the cord to retract back to its resting position.
Resting the affected area, applying ice to reduce inflammation, and following a physical therapy program can help heal stretched tendons. It is important to avoid activities that worsen the condition and to gradually reintroduce movement and strength training once the tendon starts to heal. Consult a healthcare professional for personalized treatment recommendations.
