Re: artillery
It varied, but generally a battery would be 4 guns of the same size. Normally 3-4 batteries per regiment.
That help?

Re: artillery
I take it you mean not lined up like cannons used to be. The simple answer - aircraft and return battery fire. Aircraft would have a field day with a straight line of guns, come in from the side and keep firing all the way along. More or less the same as why trenches had angles in them - hard to fire all the way along from the flank.
