"Since early 1920s many Bohler engineers and foremen were sent to Mukden in Northeast China to help establish an arsenal there under Marshal Chang Tso-lin, in order to keep their ability in weapon manufacture. They built the Type 14(1925) 7.7cm field gun(technically a Bohler M. 18 with 7.7cm barrel from Skoda M. 17 gun) and 10.5cm light howitzer(utilizing the same carriage as M. 18) and probably other guns for Chang's army."
"76.5mm: Böhler 8cm M.18 field gun. This weapon is reported to have been copied by an arsenal in Manchuria and as such was designated the Type 14 (Model of 1925) field gun. It is also possible, even likely, that surplus guns were acquired from Czechoslovakia (which only used these guns briefly after 1919) and even possibly Poland (very few would have been available there, however, due to the guns relatively recent design), as well as from Austria itself where the guns were built. An example of this field gun is in the collection of the Beijing Military Museum."
