Do you know what Chinese unit had them and how many they had?

[Peter H]

The link below states the Chinese 200th Division couldn't get its heavier Russian tanks into Burma.Assuming the tanks are from this unit it must be in error.

I don't know. The Chinese is not my speciality. Ask someone of Chinese experts.
