Nov 1937, Chinese delegate to Russia Ji Yang negotiated a deal in which Russia would sell 88 T-26 Model 1933 light tanks and 20 BT-5 or BA combat vehicles to China, plus a generous credit line for various supplies. The vehicles arrived in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, China in spring 1938, and were assigned shortly after to the Nationalist Chinese 200th Infantry Division. These Chinese T-26 light tanks would later participate in the Battle of Lanfeng in 1938, the Battle of Kunlun Pass in 1939, and the Battle of Yunnan-Burma Road in the Burma campaign in 1942.
