The was a light howitzer used by the Imperial Japanese Army during the Second Sino-Japanese War and World War II.〔Bishop, ''The Encyclopedia of Weapons of World War II''〕 The Type 92 designation was for the year the gun was accepted, 2592 in the Japanese imperial year calendar, or 1932 in the Gregorian calendar.〔War Department TM-E-30-480 ''Handbook on Japanese Military Forces'' September 1944 p 400〕 Each infantry battalion included two Type 92 guns; therefore, the Type 92 was referred to as . ==History and development== The Type 92 battalion gun was designed in response to issues with the Type 11 37 mm infantry gun and the Type 11 70 mm infantry mortar. Both lacked sufficient firepower and range, and infantry divisions did not like the fact that they had to carry two different types of weapons with different ammunition into combat. As a result, the army technical bureau developed a design which could be used either at low angle direct fire to take out fortified positions, machine gun nests and light armor, but also could be used at high angle indirect support fire. The caliber of the new weapon was increased to 70 mm to address the issue of inadequate firepower. The new design was available to front line divisions by 1932.〔McLean. ''Japanese Artillery; Weapons and Tactics''〕
