That is a surprisingly heavily equipped squad in terms of LSW/HBAR.

Two QJB-95s as we can see, and one QBU-191 (which is a DMR but also an HBAR), for three out of the six dismounts visible.

I can't recall how many dismounts a ZBD04A has, or if this squad is representative of an actual operational TOE. Interesting either way.

According to the revealed information, at least three armor vehicle drivers in the ZBD-04A, they have QBZ95B-1 carbine and QSZ92 pistol as their PDW. So this Squad has around nine soilders.

Yes, my understanding is that the vehicle's crew (commander of the overall squad, driver and gunner) are included as the "squad" for the IFV, but the dismounts per squad is only six (or seven if the commander dismounts as well).

Overall having six or seven dismounts is probably the bare minimum for the dismounts to be able to divide to two sections/teams, and nine dismounts like on Bradley IFV platoons would really be a bit better but that organization divides three squads among four vehicle.
