Truck-mounted anti-tank guns, used as highly mobile, hard-hitting artillery units, speed over the desert and attack the enemy from all sorts of unexpected quarters. A mobile anti-tank unit of the Eighth Army in action, somewhere in the desert, Libya, on July 26, 1942. taken from fb/alex de groot

A comment on FB said a ‘6 pounder’.I had my doubts about it,so I didn’t mention it.Thanks for confirming it being a 2 pounder ;)The muzzle flash is a big give away of the position.Hit and run I’d say.Was a 2 pounder effective against Pz IV’s??
Hello brummbar, I believe that at least the sides of early Panzer IV tanks could be penetrated by the 2-pounder at reasonable ranges. I doubt however that this was still the case with the variants available in July 1942.
Regards!
