Mortar bombardment is the sustained firing of mortar shells, often in high arcs, to hit enemy positions, historically used in sieges with large medieval "bombards" for breaking walls, and later evolving with modern smaller mortars for close support, providing high-angle indirect fire against troops, fortifications, and vehicles, capable of using various munitions for different effects, from explosives to smoke.
Key Aspects:
Indirect Fire: Mortars lob shells high in the air to fall on targets hidden from direct view, ideal for siege warfare and trench lines.
Ammunition: Can fire high-explosive (HE) rounds, anti-personnel shells (like canister shot), smoke, or incendiaries.
Historical "Bombards": Large medieval cannons (like the French "bombarde") fired massive stone balls to destroy fortifications, giving rise to the term.
Modern Use: From heavy siege weapons to smaller, portable infantry support mortars (like the Stokes mortar) used in WWI and onwards.
Tactics: Used to suppress enemy forces, destroy defenses, flush troops from cover, or provide cover for advancing troop.

During World War II, the German Army, Commonwealth, United States Army, Soviets heavily relied on mortar bombardment as a key component of their infantry tactics, primarily using the highly effective 8 cm Granatwerfer 34 (8 cm GrW 34).
