Hi all, ZIS-5 truck was provided by USSR to support China during 2nd Sino-Japan War but it is not easy to find photo of ZIS-5 truck used by National Revolutionary Army. I'm not sure if enclosed photo is a ZIS-5 truck which seems very like, but it should be checked & refueled by a National Revolutionary Army solider.

I have been scanning some old photographs I have bought over the years. Now this is one showing trucks and cars lined up. Perhaps taken in late 1940s, but I'm not sure about the exact date and location.
