Wasn't that the agricultural station in Sinai which was captured in 1967? As I recall it got the name because the equipment was bought from the Koreans or Japanese and it was mistaken for Chinese script.

Heres a question that I only recently became aware of the answer to myself.
A 155mm 39 Cal JBMOU (Joint Ballistics Memorandum of Understanding) Compliant Howitzer and a 155mm 52 Cal JBMOU Compliant Howtizer fire the same projectile with the same charge at the same elevation. Which will go further?

Same charge, same projectile, same AoE... all this being equal same distance should be achieved............ so only differnce that could be made is by barrel length, 52 is a couple of feet longer I belive so allows more energy to be imparted to the projectile.........................
