When They Put a Tank Cannon on a Jeep — Japanese Called Them "Devil Jeeps"

Discover the terrifying true story of how American ingenuity created one of the most feared and misunderstood weapons of the Pacific War: the legendary “Devil Jeeps.” This in-depth documentary reveals how U.S. forces mounted powerful 75mm recoilless rifles onto ordinary Jeeps to solve an impossible problem—destroying heavily fortified Japanese bunkers hidden deep in jungle terrain where tanks could not operate. Through firsthand accounts, captured diaries, after-action reports, and declassified analysis, the video explores how these fast, lightly armored vehicles struck with tank-level firepower, appeared without warning, annihilated fortified positions in seconds, and vanished before defenders could respond. Japanese soldiers came to call them Akuma no Jiipu, weapons that broke every rule of warfare they understood, shattering morale and forcing radical changes in defensive doctrine. From Luzon to New Guinea, Devil Jeeps destroyed thousands of bunkers at a fraction of the cost of artillery or tanks, proving that speed, surprise, and creativity could outweigh armor and brute force. More than a battlefield innovation, this story shows how psychological shock, industrial flexibility, and unconventional thinking helped the United States accelerate victory in the Pacific—demonstrating that sometimes the most devastating weapons aren’t the most complex, but the ones no enemy expects.
