The Chinese in WW2 (Pic thread)

[PanAsian]

The Chinese guy sitting with FDR and Churchill is Generalissimo Chiang Kai Shek, leader of the Chinese Nationalists, most likely at the Malta conference.

Some additional tidbit: his own generals had to kidnap him to force him to work with the communists and the warlords to fight the Japanese, instead of fighting among themselves. He later fled to Taiwan after losing the Chinese civil war after WWII.

no, i don't think arisaka was used widly in china before the invasion. and you gotta be kidding, GMD stopped fighting large battle after about 1938. then came the era of "people's warfare".

True, many people had said the communists fought japan while the guo min dan watched the show.:china: The GMD did not spend much effort in the war but still perticipated in a few small battles through out WWII.

You know that photo with the Jap holding a sword looking like he's about to kill the Chinese civilian? That is the Nanjing massacre or Nanjing da tu sha in Chinese. There are much more, that photo I have seen. Hey Kampfwagon, This is China in WWII right? find more pictures of the Sino-Jap conflict or at least more Nanjing photos. China in WWII is mainly versing the japanese. The Japnese were very cruel ( im not going to talk about it, it justs makes me SICK!)

Easier said than done, my friend. It's unfortunate, but the second Sino-Japanese conflict (there was another aparently in the late ninteenth century) was one of the most undocumented and least researched, which I find to be both iritating and unfortunate. But it might be easier now that I have specific names and events to tack on. Thanks!

Oh, and for those of you not in the know, the Flying Tigers were a group of Airforce Volunteers who, with their P40's fought in legendary fights against the Japanese on several diffrent fronts. The first front they fought on was the Sino-Japanese front. Despite the fact that the P40 is generaly considered to be at a disadvantage when fighting against Zeros due to the Zero's enhanced speed and agility, they still managed to do their part to help fight against the Japanese.

Also, The P40, though at the time considered to be somewhat outclassed and obscelete, managed to find it's way into the hangars of several forigen allies including the Soviet army and Chinese Air-Force. Over Russia, the P40 tangled with the even more daunting Me109 fighter.
