COVER: Gunners of a Red Army heavy mortar unit put their guns into battery during the siege of Stalingrad. There are seven 120-mm mortars of this type in the heavy mortar battery of a Red Army rifle regiment. These guns, with the medium and light mortar units of the regiment, give the Soviet infantryman two and one-half times the mortar support found in the U.S. infantry regiment. Support fire from these weapons in the Red Army is delivered by using artillery methods; the outstanding characteristic being the use of massed fire.
