I wonder how many of the old Krupp and Armstrong coastal guns were retained in service by PLAN in the early years of the PRC. Japan reactivated some of these during the war IIRC, but the ammunition would have become scarce. PLAN coastal batteries at one point included Soviet 152mm (the same as on the Sverdlov cruisers) and 180mm guns, and the Type 66 130mm was in use into the 21st century.
