Did the Chinese recover any aircraft in Turkistan in 1945?

Just wondering if any of the Chinese or Russian experts have any information about the Chinese re-occupation of Turkistan in 1945, in western China, and did they recover any Soviet or Lend lease aircraft? I have read rumors that Russian aircraft were located and used by the locals. Thank you for any guidance on this obscure topic. Cheerio,

Much of Western China was virtually a Russian protectorate from about the 1890's. After the Russian Civil war the Soviets certainly supplied the Moslem warlords with armaments and probably armoured cars but I have seen nothing about aircraft.
