On Japanese Armored Forces in World War II

1. Japan did have armored forces in World War II. The most elite divisions were assigned to the Japanese veteran Kwantung Army, who later fought in Southeast Asia.

2. During World War II, Japan mainly used Type 89 tanks and Type 97 Chiha tanks, accounting for half of the total number of Japanese tanks. About 2,800 vehicles. The rest are 1 tanks, 2 tanks, 3 tanks, and a small number of Chito tanks, which were discontinued after less than 50 were produced. Japanese tanks are really not so good. Because Japan has the wrong teacher. Japan's World War II army imitated France everywhere. Have you seen the Japanese military cap? The last two pieces of cloth were learned from France. French tanks are as smelly as Japanese tanks.

3. The armored infantry unit doesn't know if you mean this form. During World War II, some Japanese tanks were incorporated into armored divisions and the rest into infantry. In other words, during World War II, the tactics of the Japanese army were still the auxiliary weapons of the ancient armored forces to cooperate with the infantry, not the main force. This is the real reason why Japanese tanks are poor. It was not until the late war that Japan discovered that tanks should be organized into armored divisions to produce tanks with thicker armor. Although resources are part of the reason, the main reason is backward tactics. In other words, tanks are used to block bullets for soldiers.
