Tank Duel: Enemy in the Crosshairs
Inside the tank, his team is alert and ready. In the confined space of the tank they are in position. Through the radio they hear the call, "I spot 'em at 1600, 100!" Through the narrow rectangular window the driver attempts to locate the T-34. An AP shell is loaded into the breech. The gunner yells, "Ready to fire!" His heart, too, is pounding. Loud sounds now, the gears, the clacking of bogey wheels over terrain, the vibration of the motor... then, "Hull down, hull down," is called out to the driver. The Commander orders, "Traverse, traverse... TRAVERSE!" The turret turns slowly, the sounds of machinery moving but slow, too slow! The alert gunner feels the rush. "I've got 'em in my sights, 1400... 1200! Do you see him, do you see him?" the panic, the fear, the adrenaline are palpable. "I've got 'em, Sir, I've got 'em!" The anticipated command comes as the tanks advance... "FIRE!" The gunner aims, pulls the lever, and it's SHELL AWAY...
