The Chinese involvement in WWII would mark a temporary lull in the fighting between Nationalist and Communist forces vying for supremacy over a unified China, with both sides forming the Unified Front against Japanese aggression. It wouldn't last long! READ MORE:

Concerning uniforms during WWII: From the opening stages of the Sino-Japanese War there were two main types of uniform issued, a summer and a padded winter variant. Those troops stationed and provisioned in the northern regions would be issued a blue-grey cotton uniform (think Army Painter Wolf Grey or Citadel Russ Grey) which would commonly fade to a light grey with use (just about any grey you can think of works, here!). Troops to the south were issued with a uniform of the same cut said to be a khaki drill colour (Iraqi Sand, Green Ochre or similar), but examples exist of pale brown (Brown Sand) or even a slightly green shade (Green Grey) which would also fade to lighter versions of themselves. So, in short... pick a grey or beige and go nuts, it'll probably be close enough!
Due to the varied means that weaponry and equipment had been imported to China over almost four decades of constant conflict, an eclectic mix of weaponry from almost every nation was available in some point. The main battle tank of the Chinese Nationalist forces was the venerable Russian T-26, though those Chinese soldiers that fought as part of X/Y Force under British and American cooperation to relieve Burma and India were also issued a small number of Sherman and Stuart tanks. The most common helmet available was the M35 German stahlhelm, though with around 250,000 of these imported into China for an army numbering over four million, by far the most common sight was a soldier charging into battle with a cloth cap and little else!
