![The Type 89 medium tank I-Go (八九式中戦車 イ号, Hachikyūshiki chūsensha I-gō?) was a medium tank used by the Imperial Japanese Army from 1932 to 1942 in combat operations of the Second Sino-Japanese War and the Second World War. The tank was armed with a short-barrel 57-mm cannon for knocking out pillboxes and stone and masonry fortifications, and proved effective in campaigns in Manchuria and China, as the Chinese National Revolutionary Army had very few tanks or anti-tank weapons to oppose them.
