Yes — any unit in a bunker may ignore the first flag rolled against it, in each separate attack. Artillery in a bunker can't retreat, so it loses one figure for each flag after the first; with two flags it loses only one figure. Ignoring is optional for units that can retreat. The rulebook's bunker bullets look contradictory on artillery, but the two work together: first flag ignored, the rest cost figures.
