Pistols – The Tokarev TT 33 can be reloaded faster but the C96 has the longer barrel for accuracy and range. The best thing about the C96 is its integrated sights which makes shooting it more precise. It has more bullets in its magazine too. Both pistols fires bottleneck rounds so they are each powerful.

Edge: Yan Xishan

Rifles – The Mosin Nagant is better since it is more reliable and fires the larger round.

Edge: Georgy Zhukov

Light Machun Gun – The DP-28 is a crappy of a machine gun. Its prone to misfires and overheating. It was so bad that Red Army soldiers would rather use captured German MGs than use it. The ZB vz 26 is more reliable and fires farther though that upper box magazine will not win it any accuracy awards.

Edge: Yan Xishan

Large Machine Gun – I am disagreeing with some. The watercooled Browning is lighter and can be carried to positions where it is needed. Its one of the lightest GPMG out there, and  people like Olin Gray and John Basilone can even carry and fire it from he hip. A large wheeled battery like the PM M1910 is an obsolete crap.

Edge: Yan Xishan

Troops – Georgy has the better armed troops but xishan has the better quality troops. The Red Army besides WW2 has a horrible track record from its inception in the Russian Civil War to even the Cold War. Czech legions, Polish sildiers, Finnish white guards and even Hungarian rebels defeated them many times. The NRA are poorly trained and are prone to infighting amonst themselves especially between its democratic side and its communist side. But under Yan Xishan they good in beating the Japanese and their allies. I cannot choose which side between troop quantity and tactics is superior.

Edge: Tie

Final Decision – I am going to vote for Yan Xishan. The Red Army has some mediocre to busted weapons while the Chinese are armed with better and more reliable guns from the Allies. Yan Xishan’s fabian strategy is superior to Zhukov’s which used brute force and pressure. Some say that Zhukov is more careful but I think that is as bad as a tactic as him going on the offensive. Remember Zhenbao Island? The Soviets went rushing in and setting up military outposts in China during the Sino Soviet War and what did it got them? Getting ambushed and harassed by the Chinese. I can see that the same results would happen here.
