There is an erroneous opinion that "Zaamurets" ("Orlik") took part in the Chinese Civil War as the part of the Russian detachment of General Nechaev in the service of Marshal Zhang Zuchang in 1924-1928. The error is caused by the fact that the new "Peking" armored train was built in 1926 in the workshops of the city of Tsinan (Jinan) by the same engineers from Harbin who built the Zaamurets. The archives and photo collection of M. Blinov show the difference in the technical details.[4]
