It was always going to end like this...

Even seeing Cthulhu sends men insane... so having him physically attack you... well...

Panic as the tankettes back into each in their efforts to get away...

Cthulhu moves out of the temple as one hapless soldier is run over by a reversing tank.

The monster is big enough to cover both tanks.

They don't survive the encounter!

The remains of the HQ group are the next to fall. Not something to slow Cthulhu's inexorable murderous advance.

Unable to get past the monster, some soldiers flee into the city and are attacked by more cultists.

They are forced back and pass into another chamber.

With a couple of soldiers trapped behind Cthulhu, others facing attack by cultists, and the rest about to be eaten (or something)... things aren't looking good for the Japanese!

Though the ones retreating from the cultists might (?) manage to find a way out of the city.

At which point, perhaps best to draw a curtain over the next part...
