Any article related to this task force should be marked by adding parameters to the project banners at the top of its talk page:

• Chinese-task-force=yes to {{WPMILHIST}} (see the instructions for more details on the exact syntax)
• {{WPCHINA}} (currently no separate parameter)

This will automatically place it into Category:Chinese military history task force articles.

[edit] To-do

• Any article about the "tunnel war" (地道战) and "landmine war" (地雷战) used by the communists against the Japanese during the occupation, made famous by the movies from the 1960s. Probably mostly propaganda but no info is available. -Done for tunnel war Wandalstouring 13:38, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
• Was quite surprised to find there is no article for Chu Shi Biao (出師表, Document on the Dispatch of Troops?).

It's in Northern Expeditions. BlueShirts 07:47, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

I started the article. Feel free to add upon it. Olorin28 13:53, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

• I don't think any dynasty fell apart spontaneously, so there should be at least 20-25 battles/wars that ended dynasties... more if you include all the 5 Dynasties and 10 Kingdoms and Warring States and late-Yuan rebel states. So, can we start from the most recent? -- Миборовский 00:50, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

• Battle of Shanhai Pass (Qing)
• Siege of Kaifeng (1127) (Northern Song, Jin)
• Battle of Shiting (Three Kingdoms)
• Wubei Zhi (also Wu Pei Chi or similar transcriptions) 10th-16th (and later) century military encyclopedia
• etc...

Shanhai Pass battle started. Someone need to add the info box in though. Olorin28 03:49, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! BTW, for both Shanhai Pass articles, I think it's best if we agree on what to use, ie. Shanhaiguan or Shanhai Pass. -- Миборовский 04:00, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

• Lend-Lease Sherman tanks - Chinese section
• Liao-Song-Jin War? (An article on the Song-Jin alliance to squash the Liao)
• Song-Jin War? (A wider article on the whole Jin invasion of the northern Song region)
• Battle of Yancheng (Yue Fei beats a numerically superior army under Wanyan Zongbi) (Other battles in this period are also lacking, perhaps through lack of historical sources, Yue Fei is said to have won more than 120 battles in a number of tertiary and oral sources)
• Something about the PLAN aircraft carrier program, something about Melbourne, Minsk, Kiev, Varyag and Minas Gerais. -- Миборовский 05:44, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Minas Gerais is a small Brasilian aircraft/helicopter carrier what has it to do with China?Wandalstouring 09:40, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Oh, for a time it was thought to have been bought by the PLAN a la Melbourne and before that was proven false there were plenty of speculation flying around on this. -- Миборовский 22:24, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

The PLAN actually has some CV capable aircraft now, a small wing of SU's of some sort. Closest thing the have to a working carrier is the Kuznetsov, which is, as of last year around May, decked out in PLAN underway colors. That indicates that the PLAN may be using it for one purpose or another. Jaguitar (talk) 22:40, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
