Read the previous chapter. Seriously, they outright state that they know that their armor doesn't have a chance ( and they know it from the recovered armor of their failed knight charge in the previous morning ). The issue is that their boneheaded plan was to use the heavy infantry to distract the Japanese while they charged with their heavy cav ( from the same gates, apparently ) ... and this without any recon on the enemy. Stupid, just stupid.

Interestingly, they never suffered that culture shock in the previous battles, where their captains and generals were always at least competent and level headed, being only beaten by sheer technological superiority.
Ok, maybe these ones are less smart than the ones in the original front...
