In the flatbed of a pickup truck sat a large bore high velocity gun. By the looks of it, the weapon was a modified PaK 38 anti-tank gun.
The gun itself was stripped of its usual carriage and shield, and instead placed on a reinforced mount that allowed the weapon to be operated from the back of a truck.
Currently, the painted truck was concealed within the brush and rocky outcrops sitting above a main road that drove between the town of Verdi and the burgeoning city of Reno.
In the bed of the truck stood two men, one loading the gun with a Panzergranate 39 shell.
These old shells were the primary form of military aid Germany provided for many of the factions fighting for control of what had once been the United States of America.
They had millions left over from the Great War and the early Interwar period that were no longer in service even among reserve units within the Reichsheer and its allies.
