Not sure what these are, and can't find a name for the base either...

Cool Find! Your linked chart says the H-5 is based on the IL-28 which is a straight-wing bomber comparable to a skinny-winged Canberra. This then is probably a H-6 which is based on the TU-16 Badger, which is comparable of a B-47 in size and capabilities.

Thanks for the correction... I had named my thumbnail "Chinese Badgers" but I guess I got things crossed up when I went to submit!
