Neil Dixon and Delta Company launch yet another assault on Eight Percent Hill—a deadly position that's claimed nearly half their outfit in repeated failed attempts—but this time, coordination between the infantry and Dixon's tank crew proves crucial when enemy fire and firebombs threaten to turn the tide against them. As the tank crew fights to survive and the ground troops struggle to keep pace under heavy fire, both sides discover that working together might be the only way to finally break through the enemy's stranglehold on the hill.
