		However, the ///real/// killer of US tanks during the invasion- especially on the Kanto Plain- was going to be a weapon that the Japanese had been unable to put to good use so far in the war: the Mark 97 20mm rapid-fire anti-tank rifle.

		With few exceptions, all the armies and corps were organized by the AGF or existed in the Regular Army or Organized Reserves at the start of the war.
