It looks like the whole column of Jap tanks were no match for what they were up against.

To my old eyes it looks like (L to R) Canteen, First-Aid Kit and another Canteen.

The little Japanese
tanks may have been the only armor the bazooka could can-open.

There’s one of those type 94 Tankettes in the parade area at Camp San Louis. They are very small!

I'm looking at the set of tracks of tracks at 2 o'clock background as the grouser pattern looks like it's from a Sherman tank it was not unknown that the IJA troops would strap explosives to themselves and dive under tanks, the tanks the IJA fielded were inferior by western standards the armour was extremely thin with a small crew armed with a pop gun a Honey tank would more than be a match for a one on one, the M4 Sherman was in another class of its own. The IJA did however go to Germany looking at a MkVI whether they had ambitions of ever building one was a bit late the horse had already bolted.

That's what I thought too, since they're rolled right out, looks like they broke at front and the vehicle was recovered. No wreckage there...wonder if it was the Sherman that dismantled all the Jap armor? It could do it...like that.
