trench siege artillery

Trench siege artillery refers to heavy weaponry used during World War I to target enemy fortifications and trenches. This type of artillery included large-caliber guns and howitzers, designed to fire explosive shells over long distances. Typically stationed behind the front lines, these guns could bombard enemy positions, inflicting damage and disrupting operations. Trench siege artillery was crucial for breaking through heavily defended areas and supporting infantry assaults, playing a significant role in the lengthy and grueling stalemates characteristic of trench warfare. Their effectiveness varied, influencing tactics and strategies throughout the conflict.
