Looks like a Soviet 120mm Mortar.... and the guy who has the round seems to have a PPSh-41 on his back. The guy adjusting the plate has either an M1891/30 Mosin Nagant 7.62 rifle, or a M44 Mosin-Nagant 7.62 Carbine.

M-1938/43 120mm mortar.
The bomb does look bigger though.

The guy adjusting the baseplate is doing a hasty traverse in artillery terms. The target they got was outside their zone of fire so he has to pick that 60+ lb base plate out of the dirt and move it to get the tube pointed in the right direction. The gunner on the left will adjust that puppy on the right azimuth of fire and elevation.

We called it 'speed-shift' on the howitzers in the corps.

An excellent and simple design. Very effective weapon. The Germans readily used captured ones.

Actually a copy of finnish design by Aimo Lahti (mid thirties). Nice gun though, pretty accurate (up to 100m), lot's of ammo and little recoil.
