History of the Type 41 75mm Mountain Gun

The Type 41 75mm mountain gun was introduced to the service of the Imperial Japanese Army in 1908 (the 41st year of the Meiji era) and was used during many conflicts: in the Russo-Japanese War, the Manchurian conflicts, the Second Sino-Japanese War, and widely in World War II. It was renowned for its light weight and ability to be transported in difficult terrain – it could be disassembled and carried on the backs of pack animals. It proved itself both on the Pacific islands and in operations on the Asian continent.
