The Vickers 6-ton Mk. E tank was the most commercially successful tank of the 1930s. They were sold to a wide range of nations all over the world, with China being one of the users. Possessing a total of 20 Mk. E tanks, it was the most numerous tank model in the Central Chinese military prior to the start of the second Sino-Japanese war. This video will take a closer look at these tanks in Chinese service.
