In 1940 when the great war of resistance against Japan broke out, my People's Liberation Army almost did not have any heavy equipment. Only one of the few seized Jiang Jun's armored vehicles (some armored vehicles converted by the nations card trucks) and the Japanese Mitsubishi and Toyota trucks http://wemedia.ifeng.com/7492423/wemedia.shtml so this could be listed as CUSTOM MADE based on leftover japanese trucks, they do have a conversion look on them -- Last edit: 2017-05-16 20:28:41
