Otherwise mechanisation seemed to be a luxury.
Mules were used a lot?

AFAIK, most KMT troop in WWII used a mixed way of transport, mules and dunkeys were used a lot. The truck in your first photo is towing a German 10.5cm or 15cm gun which can only be towed by automobiles.Peter H wrote:Otherwise mechanisation seemed to be a luxury.

Re: Soft skin vehicles in China 1935-1945
Very nice photo! In fact, charcoal vehicles were built in China since late 1920s and in WWII, charcoal vehicles made up more than a half of the fleet of trucks and buses in some provinces. Here is a plan of a kind of charcoal stove desgined by Chinese engineers(I found this in a book published in 1984).Peter H wrote:Same source.

It seems that Japanese coal gas vehicles were also widely used in China because I have just read about a kind of "Japanese type" coal gas stoves for vehicles were built and used in Jangsu Province in early 1950s...

Hello!
Can somebody identify the model of this Henschel?
Best regards, Aleks
A very interesting photo! I've never seen such a variant. The body looks like those of Sd.Kfz.6 (or Sd.Kfz. 8) halftrack.Akira Takizawa wrote:Henschel Tractor captured by the Japanese
