Tanks hundreds of tank shells

And at that moment, fire and smoke and steel belched out of a hundred cannons.  The first line of tanks fired in unison.  The thunderous sound rolled across the San-yo plain.  Burning shells sped toward the creature with a whistling howl.
Nick covered his ears.  The tower vibrated from the ear shattering din.  For  a moment, Godzilla seemed to be engulfed in smoke and flames.  Hundreds of shells burst against his hide and penetrated his flesh.  His roar of pain and rage rolled across the plain.  Godzilla’s mighty cry drowned out the sound of the tanks.
Nick felt a stab of fear.  Yoshi, too, was shaken.  But the young Japanese stubbornly continued to film footage of the attack.
Another volley of tank shells fired from the second row of tanks, slamming against Godzilla within moments of the first.  More explosions flashed all over the creature’s chest, neck, and face.  A third volley.  Then a fourth.
The whole world seemed to shake.  Nick turned off his tape recorder--the sound level meter was reacting wildly to the terrible roar of the battle.  The machine was useless in this chaos.
Smoke billowed across the battlefield, obscuring Godzilla like a shroud.  Nick’s eyes strained to pierce through the haze, which seemed to roll toward them on a breeze.  Occasionally he would catch a glimpse of the monster through the cauldron of smoke and fire.
For a moment, Godzilla’s eyes seemed to stare back at Nick through the haze.
Then the guns were quieted.  The smoke cleared.
To Nick’s surprise, a terrible roar filled his ears.  I can’t believe it.
Godzilla was still standing!  Despite the highly praised cadmium shells, the creature seemed totally unaffected by the munitions that had been fired into his body at almost point-blank range.  Even Yoshi gasped in surprise.  Lieutenant Takado frowned, then keyed her radio.
