Tanks used during the February 26 incident?

Post by UncleBourbon » 02 Feb 2022 15:01

Does anyone happen to know what tanks were used during the February 26 incident?
English sources just mention "22 tanks," but don't elaborate on models.

I ask in part since I recently watched the film 226, and they used some interesting tank mockups,

It also appears the IJN's Vickers Crossley No. 9 and Carden Loyd MKVIb tankette were dispatched from the Yokosuka Naval Gunnery School to help, but I have no solid written source.
