$  Artillery was one of the most important parts of Wehrmacht during World War II.  Every infantry division$
$had its own artillery regiment, consisting of three light artillery squadrons.  Every one of them included$
$twelve guns.  Rapidly changing battlefield meant a lot of trouble.  First of all - mobile warfare required$
$efficient means of communications.  Field telephone lines used before were easy to destroy by artillery$
$fire, aerial bombardment or sabotage.  Apart from these it was very inconvenient to deploy the telephone$
$network after every change of position.  As a remedy, radio transmitters have been introduced.$
$  In order to increase firepower, light artillery squadrons were armed in 105 mm howitzers. Due to the$
$lack of halftrack vehicles, guns in infantry divisions were still drawn by horses. Artillery fire was$
$usually directed by ground-based posts, although in some cases, planes were adopted for this role.$
