Type 83 Chi-Stu - COMPLETE!!!
30 October, 1941 - With great pleasure I give you the final product, the Type 83 Chi-Stu:
Due to shortages in paint as a result of harassing enemy aircraft and submarines, our colors are not current, but the camo colors shown are actually working quite well! Pictured is tank #3 in out series, and as you ca see from the sight wear, it has gone thru trials well, this particular tank being used against rebels in the area. It did take a hit on a forward fender from an home made gun of some type, but the captured 37mm gun with high explosive rounds has been very devastating on insurgent forces. the hull mount machine guns are less effective than thought, though they may be used to frighten the American Devils when they finally come. The modified suspension and shortened Type 97 track are working very well in the environment around Manila.
below are pictures for your review:
We used this particular tank to overrun the insurgent main base, and the main gun did destroy their radio. we were able to capture some documents telling the insurgent forces to LEAVE but did not explain why, we can only assume that it is due to the Emperor's superior forces and this new weapon.
We have now produced some 30 tanks, 10 of which are being shipped to mainland Japan on the transport ship Kyushu for evaluation by the Emoper himself. it has been an honor service he Empire in this way...Lon Live the Emperor!!!
