It was encountered by Allied forces for the first time on Iwo Jima, and it may be used again as an emergency or substitute weapon. The Type 38 designation was given to this gun as it was accepted in the 38th year of Emperor Meiji's reign (1905).〔War Department Special Series No 25 ''Japanese Field Artillery'' October 1944〕 ==Description== It is characterized by a very short barrel, box trail, and large wooden wheels.
