For about $130 a day you can rent a demo saw with a diamond blade. I would do that and cut your lines first. Then it’s up to you how to get it out. Keep in mind if it has metal in it it will be harder to remove so you may want to cut it multiple times. If it was me I would cut it multiple times and then use a mini x to peal it out. I’ve never done this with concrete though. I just did something very similar with a 10x40 section of asphalt though. The blade I used was a diamond blade rated for concrete and it cut the asphalt pretty easy. You need a saw that can go 4 inches deep.

As long as the mesh wasn't pushed to the bottom,the saw should take care of it. Flat bar + crow bar should free it up. I'd keep a grinder, metal snips, or reciprocating saw with metal blade nearby for mesh stragglers. If you cut it into 2x2 chunks, you should be able to get away without a jackhammer, just a hand full of sledgehammer strikes at the corners.
