Russian Artillery Organization

Hello, back with more questions (yet again).
I'm wondering how the heck the russians have organized their artillery at a base level.

Thanks to troy's orbats I know that artillery sections are built at part of two guns to a section. Thanks to fire and fury's orbats I know that a russian battery has 2x guns, but the Fire and Fury orbats seem to stop there and don't offer any more detail.

From what I can tell, there seems to be one layer of detail missing when I compare the Fire and Fury orbats. Can anyone help me or point out a website that outlines how the russians organized their artillery? (This would hopefully include the mortar and katyusha companies).
Thanks!

The Fire and Fury stuff is pretty good but if you need something else for the Russians try over at the Kursk site:

and over at bayonetstrength...

PS How is Vancouver these days? Still a great place to live?

Don't have it in front of me (or within a couple miles of me) right now, but Zaloga's "Red Army Handbook" would probably have the answer

A Soviet battery typically had 4 guns. That stands for mortars, guns, rockets.

The F&F BFWW2 game is not a 1:1 game. It is a 1:roughly2.5 game.
