The type 92 70mm Battalion Gun was a howitzer adapted by the Imperial Japanese Army in the year 2592 (1932 in the Western Calendar). It was intended to fulfil the role of a direct fire howtizer, but could also function as a mortar due to the extreme elevation capabilities of the gun's barrel. the original version had wooden spoked wheels, but were later equipped with stamped sheetmetal wheels. The Type 92 saw extensive action during the various campaigns on mainland Asia as well as in defence of the far-flung island defences in the Pacific. Type 92s were originally issued two per infantry batallion, hence the designation of Batallion Gun.
