That's where the combined arms part often comes to life. Ideally: Scouts spot the gun, start basic suppression if close enough. Their carrier (say scout jeep) adds some suppression, then 106mm adds some more. The bonus is that if the guy is, per chance, SP and armored, the 106mm has a good chance of killing it.
And jeep's small size means it might get a shot or two before the gun spots where is the fire coming from

Of course, this is a "perfect storm" scenario and does not happen too often
OTOH I once had a scout group secure me one flank of the frontline by destryoing enemy tank platoon and in combo with regular scout units pinning some infantry to ground before mech inf backup came.
