    Fires a laser pointer with immense power into the sky. Under infrared camera that will point to its exact location. You could counterfire at this with very unsophisticated methods of just using a camera and a good enough map. A bait and wipe operation would actually be very very easy, you just need a camera with overwatch, a team using that information to map target coordinates then feed that information to artillery or missile launches. You could counterfire them with artillery within 30 seconds if you set the bait operation up correctly.

    This means you need to fire this thing then move it immediately afterwards very quickly or get toasted. That would be ideal practice, but soldiers in the field do not follow ideal practice and get super lazy or overconfident. Counterfiring enemy artillery positions is a similar process but a little slower and works effectively for similar reasons as soldiers set up static positions instead of remaining mobile.
