Modern warfare in China 1924-1925
Re: Modern warfare in China 1924-1925
... it seems the whole film is online now in 5 parts.
Especially interesting is part5, from around min.18 on, filmed from the inside of an armored train!

This video is extremely interesting, a must-watch for anyone interested in Chinese warlord armies.
Thanks for posting!
P.S. a question: can anyone identify the field guns appeared between 09:51 and 10:00 of the first part of the film? Look like some kind of rigid-mount gun, but definitely not the Japanese Type 31 which was common in China at that time.
