Alternatively, that artillery gets clobbered in the first minutes.

The artillery pieces aren't sitting around in the open waiting to be bombed; they're deeply dug in, inside fortifications the North has been building on its side of the border for decades. It would be very difficult to neutralize it from the air before it could do real damage without resort to something like nuclear weapons.

Remember that MOAB the other day? Who do you think that message was aimed at?
