USA rocket soldiers are the key - laser lock 5 on an overlord and you may
have a chance

Take out the Overlords with the Gat guns first.

lots of Rocket men using Laserlock

Also send that Humvee(s) full of rocket men to attack from behind,
the turret on the overlords can not turn very fast.

I presume you mean the Emperor Overlord with the gattling gun and the
speaker tower, if so, they are tough but not unbeatable. Pretty good chance
if you are playing against a China Tank General they will send these in as
soon as they can build them and there lies the answer. I'm pretty sure
(correct me if I'm not) but they have to build a Propaganda Centre to get
the Emperor, the build sequence is the same for China's Emperors as it is
for USA Tomahawk Launchers, both sides have to build Power then Barracks
then War Factory then their specific upgrade building, Propaganda or
Strategy. I would suggest that you build asap the Strategy Centre as fast as
they will be doing, pump out Tomahawks as soon as you can, you should match
them unit for unit. The advice on Rocket Men with Laser is sound, as is the
case for a rear Humvee attack once the Emperors get in. The Tomahawks move
faster than the Emperors so you should be able to launch and move and stay
out of harm. You can build the Humvees and Rocket Men while waiting for the
Strategy Centre, if you build Patriots then there is a chance they will have
the edge in tank numbers, your choice when you start.

 While your waiting for the Strategy Centre to build it would be worth
pumping out a few tanks as Tank Generals will generally send in an ECM unit
to throw missiles off course. Hold them out of harms way till the ECM's are
attackable, dont head rush the Emperors as they will drive right over your
smaller tanks if they haven't destroyed them already, send the ordinary
tanks in against the ECM's to knock them out and then concentrate on the
Emperors.

 If you've cleared the first rush then get the Patriots going for choke
points. You didnt say what General you were playing as, if your super
weapons then a couple of the EMP Patriots will work wonders on the Emperors,
make sure you target all the Emperors one after the other to slow them down,
let the Rocket Men and Tomahawks do their stuff then.
