PLA Infantry TOE Of The Day: Mortar section of a Weapon Platoon
A good picture of a PLA Mortar Section of a Weapon Platoon of a Light Infantry Company here:
Inside
there are two PBP201 60mm Lightweight Crew Served Mortar (LWCMS) for
indirect fire support. Each of the two squads are staffed by one squad
leader, a gunner and two assistant gunners / ammo carriers and a
selection leader to a total of 9 crew.
The PLA continues to emphasize the tactical importance of mortars, particularly light mortars, which they regard as fast, formidable, and highly accurate. These weapons can deliver a high volume of fire in a short period while maintaining the advantages of mobility and agility. In wartime, they are typically under the direct command of the infantry company commander
