Notes | The type 99 was issued to supplement the fire provided by the lighter 75mm weapons. Like all mountain guns, the type 99 could be broken down into seven loads for transport by pack horse or towed by a team of horses. It was only built in small numbers and served in heavy mountain batteries. |
