lots... they deployed with 6 Ft-17...  also the video seems to mix Shanghai and in at least one sequence Beijing (the marines were in both places).

Remember that in the kingdom of the blind, the one eyed man is king.
6 'modern' AFVs, when the opposition have zilch, = 'many'

It’s not just you but closer examination reveals they have mixed in footage of British troops disembarking. Look closely and you can see British tunics, regimental badges and SMLE rifles in hand.
