Well I answer my own question. Apparently China is working on ULTRA light artillery system. So AH4 is export model to finance development of ULTRA light artillery. google translation decent one
China's AH4 ultralight artillery is delivered for the first time, or will participate in the Middle East
Original: wilderness modern weaponsJuly 13
"Modern Weapons" was recently learned that the North China Company of China Ordnance Industry Group first delivered the AH4 ultralight 155mm cannon to a certain country in the Middle East. It is alleged that the first batch of AH4 ultralight guns will be equipped with an artillery company in the country to prepare and train in advance to obtain initial combat capability.
The journal has previously published a report on the first export of AH4, which has aroused widespread concern. The reason why the outside world pays attention to the export of China's foreign trade weapons is that, in addition to this is China's first export of such equipment, another important reason is that the region where AH4 is exported is the Middle East. At present, the situation in the region is turbulent, whether AH4 will participate in the war, how to fight in such a way, whether the performance will be satisfactory, these have become the focus of everyone's attention.

Will AH4 participate in the war?
The target of AH4 is the X country in the Middle East. The country has been participating in anti-terrorism operations in the region and has formed a joint army with Saudi Arabia to fight the Yemeni armed forces in Yemen. It is said that the first batch of AH4 has only one equipment, and will be the first to train the soldiers. Considering that the country has not equipped China's 155mm artillery before, there is no relevant experience, so the preparation and training time of AH4 will be longer, and it is estimated that it will not participate in the war in the near future.
In what way will the future fight?
The AH4 is called an ultra-light artillery with a total weight of only about 4 tons. It was considered to be transported by helicopter at the beginning of the design, mainly for mountain operations. The country where AH4 is exported is mainly desert terrain, with only a small amount of mountainous land, which has attracted the author's interest.
In the desert terrain, the AH4 can use the tractor to carry out ground movement. I have seen the AH4 carry out truck traction test when it leaves the factory. The designer designed a detachable traction structure at the muzzle of the gun, which can be easily hung on the hook behind the truck. The AH4 artillery towed by trucks has a conversion time of no more than 3 minutes.
In mountain operations, the AH4 is mainly maneuverable for rapid maneuvering. It has strong strategic and tactical maneuverability, and the transition time of the battle will be shorter, which has great advantages for opponents who do not have this ability. The author noticed that the region where the country is currently engaged in anti-terrorism operations - Yemen has a large number of mountainous terrain, which is the ideal battlefield to exploit the advantages of this weapon.
In addition, the country is still a coastal country. According to the designer of the gun, he had intentionally developed a shore-proof ultra-light cannon, using the coastal anti-salt fog corrosion technology of the shore defense equipment he had mastered, and developed the shore-proof ultra-light 155mm artillery. The gun utilizes its aiming, direct aiming, and semi-direct aiming firing capabilities to combat sea targets.
As can be seen from the above, the ultra-light 155 gun can be used in a variety of environments, and its tactical flexibility is still very high.

Will performance be satisfactory?
At present, the world's artillery with the same AH4 is only the US M777. This makes people want to compare the two unique artillery who is better or worse? According to the gun's designer, the technology used by the Chinese AH4 is not worse than the US M777, and even has its own characteristics and advantages, but the lack of AH4 is mainly actual combat experience. How is this gun used in the future? Are some of their designs suitable for the battlefield environment? These are things that need to be verified and accumulated.
China's domestic ultra-light artillery has not yet been developed, and it is still in the pre-research stage. The main purpose of China's development of foreign-funded ultra-light artillery is to accumulate experience for the development of domestic ultra-light artillery.
The development of foreign trade ultra-light artillery has accumulated experience in the development of such artillery in China.
