Chapter 17: The Darkest Hour (Alliance Hierarch Bonus)

Prussian Army, Asgard Knights Ampula Armored Division frontline command post.

Division commander William Dietrich set aside his binoculars.

Just one kilometer ahead, positioned on high ground, an 88mm anti-aircraft gun emplacement was firing continuously.

The four 88mm guns kept up a relentless barrage, and each shot meant another Ante tank was destroyed.

The 88mm gun, designed as an anti-aircraft weapon, had an exceptionally impressive projectile speed to ensure shells could reach the "interception zone" as high and as quickly as possible. This also resulted in an astonishing capability to penetrate armor, even at very long distances.

To ensure a sufficient rate of fire, the 88mm gun boasted an excellent firing rate among cannons of the same caliber. With a well-trained crew, the weapon's volume of fire was formidable.
