If you're holding a position and the tanks are coming at you the choices are limited. It isn't like the movies where the panzergrenadiers just stand there and get mowed down for the cameras.
Later even US infantrymen learned to hanker down, use indirect fire to separate the tanks’ covering infantry from the leading rank of tanks, let the tanks roll over the defending infantry positions, then have the defending infantry pop up and hit the tanks from the side and the rear.
