Yes, the old 155's did have something of a range issue. That was one primary reason the MRLS system was developed, because the 155 didn't have the range to compete with the Russian guns dureing the Cold war. The MRLS system has a longer range with a larger payload.

The Paladin system..wich is basically a 155 with much more advance targeting and propellent is interconnected to the "whole battlefield " thing the US works on...It's basically a system designed to connect all combat units, from airforce planes , naval ships, artillery and tanks via a network of computers. All these systems remain in contact with each other and relay information reguarding battlefield conditions and enemy postions to each other in real time.

If a Palidin was underattack, then all the planes, tanks and ships close enough to respond would know who was under attack and from where. Theoretically anyhow. Like all systems, how they work in the lab, isn't how they work in the field.

Still, if the US really wanted to, they could level most of North korea's artillery in a few hours. The real question would be, how much damage could those batteries do in those few hours and would the South be willing to take that as "exceptable losses".
