Can I reduce the entrenchment of the attacked unit below the base entrenchment of its terrain (where the attacked unit is standing)?

With a normal attack, it’s not possible to reduce the entrenchment of the attacked unit lower than the base entrenchment of its terrain.

However, barrage fire does different things than normal combat. It can reduce the entrenchment of the unit sitting on the attacked hex by a random number up to 2, regardeless the base entrenchment of the selected terrain.
