Wow, this is a really nice photo!
The lage building with a dome was the great hall of the Central University(now Southeast University). I often played in front of it when I was a child.
I asked my father what the building behind the tennis court was, and he said that was the old building for postgraduate students. Now the building has been demolished, the original site of it is now in the Affiliated Primary School of Nanjing Normal University.
I really like this photo, thanks for sharing! :D

The caption is incorrect. The photo was taken in Shanghai in 1932(you can clearly see the Jiangwan Statium in the background). The tanks are Type 89 "model A" used by Japanese army.
Still a very nice photo though.

The armband of the captured soldier in the last photo has words "卫戍" on it. Maybe this unfortunate one was a member of the Garrison Command(卫戍司令部)?
