"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The German anti-tank guns fired without cease, turning British tanks into fireballs one after another.

Although the German military did not have an enormous number of anti-tank guns, they had quite a few. Even ordinary Infantry Companies were equipped with two. Anti-tank guns could not only destroy enemy armored targets, but also deal with bunkers, machine-gun positions, and the like. They had many uses.

A British Hound tank fired, sending a shell flying toward the German positions. Unfortunately, it failed to hit its target.
But the moment it fired, it was struck by a German anti-tank gun.
