I'm not from artillery - but i want to say that I'm impressed
with the firepower of the 155mm guns.
Many years ago, in Taiwan, we were on a live fire execise to attack
and capture hills (as usual). This time we had a 155mm unit
providing support fire. And as we waited at a distance away at our
form up location, we could see the impact and blast from the 155mm
rounds fired from the arti unit. This was followed up by our
battalion mortar fire - which was nothing compared to the 155mm
guns.
It drove a clear message to us - even if you don't die when
artillary hits - you will still be too shocked to fight.
We could see the craters created from the 155 rounds on the top of
the objective too.
