2:41 some of early version tankettes type 94 were given to the wang jingwei regime by the japanese and this photo is descripted as a tank of collaborationist force. i dont know any sources about usage of japanese tanks by chinese except the examples given to the collaborationist forces.

@resistance remembered do you have any source material for the camo pattern pictured on these vehicles (besides the Panzer I's) building a KMT army for Bolt Action and want to get it right. Thanks!

Alright, can someone please do on life in japanese South East asia and oceania cause i legitimately unheard of a full, well researched video of it

Chinese propaganda stunt through and through. The Chinese always win, win the propaganda war, that is. And then they believe their propaganda stunts and want the world public opinion to follow. The Battle of Sihang Warehouse is another Chinese Nationalists lie. The Chinese knew that they could escape into the International Concession through a back door. On the other side, the British disarmed them and took custody of them. They all escaped unscathed. Chinese heroics? No, Chinese theatrics. At Xi’an, in December 1936, fiercely anti-communist Chiang got the mission that Stalin assigned to him : ATTACK THE JAPANESE! ATTACK!! The Yan’an communists relayed Stalin’s message. It took 7 months of repeated incident perpetrated by Communist agents infiltrated into the KMT and its army, the NRA. The Marco Polo Bridge kerfuffle was another of these communist stunts. Philip Jaffe, Thomas Arthur Bisson, Herbert Norman, Owen Lattimore, Agnes Smedley, Edgar Snow's wife, etc., fellow travelers and members of the Rothschild-funded Institute of Pacific Relations were on hand at Yan’an in spring of 1937, telling Mao, Chou and Zhu De that the spigot of American aid would open full bore once Chiang Kai-Shek had ATTACKED the Japanese in China. Eventually, Chiang dared ATTACKING THE JAPANESE CONCESSION OF SHANGHAI Boxers Rebellion style under the gaze of an international press corps observing the going-ons from their hotels balconies. Chiang profligately expended his Nazi Germany-trained and equipped elite divisions. The remnants machine-gunned in their back the laobaixing that coward traitor (漢奸) communist agent General Tang Shengzhi (唐生智) had entrapped in the walled city of Nanjing before himself fleeing the battle field. You can always count on a Chinese warlord to waste the laobaixing. What was the mission that Stalin assigned to Chiang? To provide Chinese martyrs to the cause of the China lobby in Washington and ultimately cause the FDR administration to provoke Japan into war mode. Stalin needed Russo-phobic America and that bulwark against communist expansionism in East-Asia, Japan to lock horns. 80 years later, Vlad Zelensky, his propaganda braintrust and their handlers in the DC beltway have been dusting off the playbook of “Why We Fight: The War In China”, season 1 of THE RAPE OF JAPAN (Chinese: 日本大屠殺). The Battle of Sihang Warehouse occurred. But it did not occur the way the Chinese Communists/Nationalists love to remember it in the lore of New China. They knew that they could flee anytime into the International Concession through that back door. And they did, the 450 or so of them, unscathed.

Awesome find! Do you plan on making a video discussing the equipment and organization of the Chinese Expeditionary Force during WW2 in the future?

LOL

Great video, very informative

Your channel is a fantastic resource.. I'm making a model of this truck, do you have any clue what color these trucks would have been painted?

Great video! You should make a video on Chinese squad tactics and/or drill someday!

i have a question? did the chinese use snipers and what rifle did they use?

Was the footage at about 3:50 visible from the railway bureau building on Boundary Road? It seemed it could have been.

Your reference images are great, they will help so much with the level I'm developing! Thank you.

Thanks for the post! I'm researching Shanghai '37 to recreate the battle for a video game.

我修复了200多张抗战黑白照片，很希望和您私下交流，跟你学习，可惜不懂英文，您的视频非常专业

能不能做上中文字幕？非常感谢

视频做得很棒，而且老哥你的英语也太好了！

Just finished your video on uniforms. Still a bit confused. Also, I’m curious about the various, seemingly political pins worn in photos (usually featuring Cheng Kai-Shek, or some form of written character) In addition, I’m curious what large groups of men would have looked like, in regards to how varied the uniforms would be across such large sections of men; and if there was differing uniformity based on company or divisional… well, divisions. I’m also curious as to how often the Nationalist and Communist forces would be seen together; and how they would be coordinated.

Hi, where did you find the footage used at 6:00? The plane is a Vichy French Potez 25 that had defected to China from occupied Indochina. A photo of the scene has been circulating around the internet for a while, but I'd love to be able to see the full footage.

Could you do a video about 18th Group Army of NRA

sounds like Ukraine today dont it

I heard that Nazi-Germany exported so many of the new M35 helmets to China that some Wehrmacht units during the Polish campaign of 1939 still wore the larger WW1 type of helmet!

China 🇨🇳: over 5000 years of unbroken history.

还有下半部分吗

好好好好好 谢谢分享

Кукан

Cool , seeing this for the first time .

👍🇹🇼

I don't get it. China is a much bigger region than Japan. How come the Chinese military failed to stop the Imperial army from reaching their eastern regions during WW2?

Absolutely amazing that this is colourised, you are simply the best historian promoting learning of the Chinese theatre of war. I’ve been watching your videos for a while and they keep on getting better. Keep it up man your making an impact

Absolutely incredible and informative as always man, we’ll done keep it up

Amazing to see newsreels from such a important time period and especially a overlooked theatre. Can’t wait for more of your amazing videos

Another great video on the Chinese Air Force of WW2. As a history student I have to say everything is historically correct and it’s great to see you focus on the Air Force

Great video, interesting to see planes and always an interesting theatre of ww2 keep it up man your amazing

Amazing video, great to see you focusing on Chinese small arms and not just vehicles. Keep it up man

Absolutely amazing video as always. I expect nothing less that perfection and you always deliver. Informative great layout and commentary as always incredible keep it up man

Sorry I’ve been away from your videos for so long, my deepest apologies, but what a video to come back to, informative well edited and great commentary great job man keep it up

Again a fantastic explanation! Thanks so much for showing and sharing

Great job on the research you did. Impressive!

Really interesting. Not sure if it's possible, but would be interested in uniforms of various warlord forces

According to my observations, you are Chinese American and your origin is Taiwan, ROC. That's why you have so many videos talking about the Nationalist Army during the WWII era. Unlike those separatists nowadays in Taiwan, you stick to the ROC Constitution and might even be a loyal KMT member. Or at least you are from a KMT family. Keep up the good work. Taiwan needs you.

Once again an amazing video! Any chance you could make one about the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, the Chinese units with Budenovkas and Soviet Uniforms.
