    Think I've found it on Google but it doesn't give me a name aside from Japanese 18 ton expermental tank. The first one they ever built

    That would be it. It was known as Prototype No.1, or Prototype 91 in its second phase modification ( which the picture shows ). It later developed into the Type 95 Heavy Tank.

    Could it be 13th Guards Rifles Division?

    BTW it's almost impossible to find reliable data on Russian losses.

    Busdriver is correct!!

    The 13th guards suffered tumultous casualties especialy when undergoing the crossing of the Volga to the western side of Stalingrad. They fought heroicaly though despite receiving more than 70percent casualties in the first days.

    Nope.

    Heres a hint: 8 medium tanks were used by the marines landing in the island. The first time marines used a medium tank. Second hint: the battle lasted only 5 days and was one of the bloodiest landings in the pacific.
