i quote a clip from the movie 'the flowers of war".
The plot was that the city of nanking has been over run, reduced
to rubbles. poockets of cheena resistence still fighting, the japs
infantry is moving into the city, voered by tanks with 'heavy
machine gun' as the primary turret weapon.
note if the tanks have cannon or howitzer, heavy ballistics, it
is still logical for soldiers to hit them first as they can still
do destruction to buildings, where civilians and resistence
soldiers can stay hide and recuparte.
from the scene at 10:35 onwards, we can see that the streets are
tight and covered with rubbles, ideal for the cheena soldiers to
hide, move around and flank or encircle the imperial jap
infentrymen. but they took the silly frontal and flanking assault
atthe tanks that only have machine guns as the heaviest weapon.

i rally laff man, i can let the tanks run around the street
firing machin gun rounds and easily hide or outrun them luring them
into street corners. in this case i will order my men to take
downas many of the japs infantrymen at the rear and flanks first
before taking down the tanks. i can vertaully sit on top of the
tanks and sing my national anthem once all the jap infenrty men
behind the tanks are taken care of.
