The type 38 was bigger. It was a field gun, not an infantry gun, and was the main weapon of most divisional artillery battalions. |

As MHoxie says, the Type 38 was a Field Gun, not an Infantry Gun. It was a heavier weapon, designed to be towed by tractor or horse-team and used by divisional artillery regiments. The Type 41 was originally a Mountain Gun, designed to be broken into loads. When replaced in that role by the Type 94 75mm Mountain Gun, the Type 41s were cascaded down to infantry regiments, to become Regimental Infantry Guns ('Rentai-Ho'). The Type 94 75mm Mountain Gun was the mainstay of Mountain Artillery Regiments, which replaced standard Artillery Regiments in a lot of divisions; especially in Burma. There was also a Type 90 75mm Field Gun, which was a much more modern piece. It was only issued to divisional Artillery Regiments with motor transport. In Burma they were also employed as anti-tank guns during the final stages of the campaign. |
