The Type 4 Ho-Ro mounted the Type 38 150mm howitzer. Surrounding the front of the howitzer was 25mm of armour plating – the open rear leaving the crew susceptible to close combat and shrapnel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 150mm gun predominantly fired Type 88 APHE (armour-piercing high explosive) rounds although it could also fire HEAT (high explosive anti-tank) shells. Ammunition was stored in a container on the rear engine deck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRushed into service towards the end of World War II, the Ho-Ro was deployed in batteries of four vehicles. It saw action during the Philippines Campaign and during the American assault on Okinawa where it was heavily outnumbered by US artillery assets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContains one plastic, resin \u0026amp; metal Ho-Ro assault gun, Bolt Action stat card, vehicle damage markers, full-colour decal sheet and Bolt Action Order dice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eSupplied unassembled and unpainted.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Warlord Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44660499120197,"sku":"402416004","price":40.91,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/5218\/0037\/files\/402416004_Ho-Ro_assault_gun7.webp?v=1772117003","url":"https:\/\/wholesale.warandpeacegames.com.au\/products\/bolt-action-japanese-type-4-ho-ro-assault-gun","provider":"War and Peace Games | Wholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
