I really don't know but could this be propaganda to make world believe it's 9 guns per battery or is it an attempt to show concentrated fire by a Group Army Artillery brigade

Anyone, any takes

In a real war condition these guns wouldn't be firing side by side in the first place. They have BeiDou, a ballistic computer, communications gear, etc... They would be scattered around an area. Until the 1990s guns were positioned side by side because it removed the need for calculating a firing solution for each gun. Then many types of electronics got cheap enough for each gun to have them. They can calculate their own solutions from downlinked coordinates.

Like many military photos, the photo is concerned with looking cool. It is not representative of real practices.

PCL-181. Self-explanatory.

Can someone confirm the plateau claimed ranges due to rarified atmosphere of high altitude. The link of the article is below

"PCL-181 has a range of about 30 kilometers with ordinary shells in the plains, a range of about 40 kilometers when using domestic low-resistance full-bore bottom row bombs, and a range of 53 kilometers with full-bore bottom row rocket composite extended-range projectiles. In the plateau terrain, the range of these three types of shells will increase to 42 kilometers, 56 kilometers, and 71 kilometers, respectively."
