Adding to the needed firepower of the terrestrial ground forces, the Type 96 APC was brought in. Quick, heavily armored and mounted with a 40mm grenade launcher, they filled in the gaps; adding to the already blistering firepower of the Type 74 and 90 Tanks. When Godzilla was within range, the two sets of military vehicles shelled the monster, slamming their steel tipped ammunition in blinding waves of gunfire. For moments in the battle, the living mountain of flesh and bone was consumed in a cloud of curling black smoke. Yet the battle could not last forever, and their thunder was silenced at the appearance of a giant UFO. A mysterious alien craft that took up the fight against Godzilla.
