Obice da 75/13
El cuerpo Alpino italiano utilizó el obús 75/13 como su artillería
principal de montaña aunque ya estaba obsoleta por datar de la Gran Guerra.
Estaba previsto que fuese reemplazado por el obús 75/18 modello 34 pero
recibieron muy pocos de estos excelentes cañones nuevos debido, una vez más, a
las dificultades con la producción.
El cañón conservaba sus características ruedas con radios de madera
propias de la anterior guerra y contaba con un escudo blindado para proteger a
la dotación. El peso total del cañón era de tan sólo 106 Kg para poder ser
transportado fácilmente por terreno agreste o montañoso. Tenía una elevación de
+50º y una depresión máxima de -10º y alcanzaba una cadencia de disparo de 5 o
6 disparos por minuto aunque podía llegar hasta 12. Su alcance máximo era de
6.700 metros.

English version
The Italian Alpine Corps used the howitzer artillery
75/13 as its main
mountain though it was already obsolete by date
from the Great War. It was
scheduled to be replaced by
the howitzer 75/18 modello 34 but received very few of
these excellent new guns because,
once again, to difficulties with
production.
The cannon kept its wheels with spokes characteristics peculiar to the last war wood and had an armored shield to protect the crew. The total weight of the canyon was only 106 kg to be transported easily by rugged and mountainous terrain. He had an elevation of +50° and a maximum depression of -10º and reached a firing rate of 5 or 6 rounds per minute although it could reach 12. Its maximum range was 6,700 meters.
