Luckily, the guns could not depress far enough to hit the American tanks. Tuck recalled that the battalion quickly learned to spread out its vehicles to reduce the danger. After a few moments, the three lead German tanks moved out of the dust and opened fire on the assault gun platoon. One of Tuck’s tankers reported a hit on one of the German tanks that quickly started a fire. Accounts vary, but between four and nine of the 13 German tanks were knocked out.
