Winding up for a tank attack
The first snowplows come rumbling through. Except it's not a snowplow, it's a tank, and that's a bazooka in your hand. Bam!
Zinkoff is winding up for a tank attack when he first notices the light going by a block away. Then another, flashing red, white and blue. Kids are turning, throwing arms slack. Someone is running.
Hi,
Does "winding up for a tank attack" in the above mean "zigzaging for a tank attack?"
And what does "throwing arms slack" mean? Thanks.
