You need to give a source for the photos.Thanks.

Refer our Guidelines: http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=6

Listing the source of the images
The administration appreciate that many of the discussions require illustrations, including period photographs. At the same time, we would like to maintain the high quality that the Axis History Forum is known for. Therefore, we require that our members list the source of the photographs they post. The required information depends on the source of the photograph.

Books and magazines: The author and title of the book. Page number is also preferred, but not required.
Archives: The archive name and reference, as per the instructions of the archive.
Websites: The URL to the specific page where the photograph was found. Note, that Google image search or eBay auction is not accepted. If you have found the photograph using Google image search, you must follow the link on Google, and post the website address. Likewise, for eBay auctions, you must post the seller's id. If you do not remember the source, you must explicitly write this (this is not a carte blanche to state that the source for all the photographs you post are unknown, and abuse of this method is not accepted).
Own collection: If you own the photograph yourself (i.e. a period print or a print which you are allowed to re-publish), you must write so either by watermarking the photograph or writing it in your post. Claiming you own photographs which you do not actually own will not be tolerated.

Wonderful pictures. Thank you.
There are a couple of pictures of trucks with German 10. cm guns in the thread about soft skin vehicles.

Another question. Does anybody have any idea about how many pieces of different guns that China had?

Hello,
Accroding to a document, the Nationalist had at least 750 different kinds of guns(including 15cm heavy mortars, but other mortars are not included) in 1943. This was before the American equipment flowed in.
I also remember seeing a statistic of artillery for Communist force during WW2 but I can't find it now. I remember there were 200 to 300 guns in 8RA, more than 100 in N4A, including all kinds of mortars.

A little off topic, but can anyone ID these naval AA guns on flatcars? The photo was taken in March 1950 during Hainan Island Campaign.

Those are not naval guns, they are the garden variety 40 L60 Bofors AA guns. Look closely at the photos and you can make out the four wheels on the mounts.

EDIT: These may also be Soviet M1939 37mm AA guns. We may be able to tell from the shape of the gun shield.
