An article has been published by the Russian Галея magazine dealing with the capture of Chinese commercial steamboats on the Amur river in July 1929 as an early Soviet response to the Chinese seizure of the KVZhD railway. The circumstances of the capture operations are dealt with in detail. Chinese river fleet losses during the Lahasusu and Fugdin raids of the Amur flotilla are mentioned too.

That's very nice, I wonder how I can get a copy of this.
Is this magazine being sold on the Internet?

Please try looking up the Галея's web-page at http://history-magazin.ru/. The contact page is at http://history-magazin.ru/contacts/.
The issue number is Галея №1(3). I'd suggest using it as the e-mail subject title. The article is "Абордаж на Амуре".

This site looks like it has something on one of the Chinese gunboats

Here is another site with some more information

I would love to learn more about the craft involved in both sides and make some 1/600 miniatures of this!!

Some very nice information and line drawings of Chinese river gunboats can be found in the new book "Warships of Late Qing Dynasty Navy"(清末海军舰船志) by Chinese naval hstory expert Chen Yue, published in May 2012. Two of the Chinese gunboats that engaged in the naval battle of Sanjiangkou, "Li Sui"(利绥) and "Li Jie"(利捷), were in fact German river gunboats captured by Chinese during WW1.

I have stumbled upon reports of hostile encounters between the Soviet Amur flotilla and Chinese Sungari gunboats that occured in 1929 even before the October raid on Lahasusu by the Soviets. At least one case seems to have been a serious gunboat engagement involving considerable fire exchange. Has anyone come upon similar data?

The worlds beneath that photo is just about who uploaded it. I can't remember exactly, but this Manchukuoan(former Fengtian) gunboat must be "Jiang Ping" or "Jiang An" or "Jiang Tong", the only three paddle-wheel gunboats of Manchurian river flotilla.

As for the article - Yes, I'm very interested! I tried to contact the publisher some time ago, but the problem is that they asked me to pay through Wester Union which I don't use, so I didn't buy the magazine. My e-mail address is [email protected]. Do you want any Chinese articles or some other things for exchange?

Thanks, but it seems that it hasn't reached my mailbox yet. Hope it's not too big for my mailbox. :?

Sorry but I still haven't received your e-mail. Could you please mail it again?
Maybe you can break it into several parts if it is too big.

I have broken the file down into nine pages of 300-400 kb and sent you the page 1 as a test. Let us hope now it works.
