When the troops are marching and fighting, there are inevitably various weapons that need to be repaired. Some of them are captured and some are lost. How to repair these things is an urgent problem. The Volunteer Army also has repair shops that accompany the army, all the way up to regiment-level units.
.
However, Zhou Qingfeng's 347th Regiment's repair capacity was very low, and important weapons were usually sent to division-level units for repair. However, since the regiment's repair department was at the grassroots level, a large number of weapons and equipment were sent to them.
Zhou Qingfeng's company was in a state of repair and the war had not started yet. So he took the time to volunteer and ran to the regiment's armory. With two packs of cigarettes, he knocked on the door of the armory's supervisor and offered to help.
"You two know how to repair ordnance?" The director of the repair shop is a dark and thin man in his forties. The repair shop where he is located is just a temporary tent, and he has more than fifty people under his command.
There are quite a few shabby things placed on various carts.
There is a lack of tools and materials in the institute, and the level of the personnel is relatively low. What they can do is simply classify the damaged ordnance sent in. Simple repairs can be done, and complex ones can only be sent away. Seeing Zhou Qingfeng, these two stunned young men
, everyone in the office looked at them with suspicion.
"Whether you can repair it or not, you will know if you try it?" Zhou Qingfeng came here with a guarantee. He had learned some basic maintenance knowledge when he was messing around in the military expo. Not to mention ordinary ordnance, he
Even old tanks and aircraft can be repaired.
"Haha... that's not a small tone." How could the director believe Zhou Qingfeng's words? He pointed at a few trucks near the repair shop and said: "If you can do the work, please repair those trucks for me."
Repairing trucks is very easy! But when Zhou Qingfeng walked to the trucks, he found that these trucks were in dilapidated condition and were riddled with holes from machine guns.
"We are now very short of transport trucks, but the Americans refuse to let us seize these vehicles. These were hit by the enemy's air force and could not be driven. Our soldiers were reluctant to lose them and found a way to send them to us, but we
I can’t repair it, and I can’t luck it out, so I can only throw it away.”
The director sighed when he looked at these trucks. These days, there are very few people who can drive, and even fewer who can repair cars. It is even more difficult to repair cars that have been damaged by enemy planes.
Seeing this scene, neither Zhou Qingfeng nor "Old Machine Gun" gave up easily. The two looked at each other and immediately began to inspect these trucks. They first judged the damage to these vehicles and assessed how to repair them.
Seeing that these two people actually started repairing, everyone in the repair shop came out to watch. The current reliability of vehicles is not very good, and some maintenance tools are indispensable on the vehicle. Zhou Qingfeng uses these simple tools.
start working.
"Big Zhou, the engine of this car is good, but the chassis is broken."
"Big Zhou, these tires should be of use."
"Young man Zhou, the axle of this car is broken."
‘Old Machine Gun’ had repaired cars before, and his judgment of vehicle faults was more accurate than Zhou Qingfeng’s. The two were so confused that the director of the repair shop couldn’t sit still. He asked anxiously: “You can really repair it?”
"We should be able to piece together two of them, and some of the spare parts for other severely damaged vehicles can also be recycled." Zhou Qingfeng inspected a total of seven damaged trucks and came to a rather optimistic conclusion.
"It would be nice to be able to repair two of them." The director immediately shouted: "Come on, everyone, come and help and listen to Comrade Xiao Zhou's command. If two of these vehicles can be repaired, they can be used to transport ammunition supplies to us.
, this is equipment we are in dire need of."
Jacks, wrenches, and hoists are all the simplest tools. But under the command of Zhou Qingfeng, dozens of people from the repair shop were actually mobilized.
A group of people worked for several hours to put together a truck with a damaged front end. Replaced it with a new engine, repaired the axle, attached the wheels, and started it again after banging and banging. When a rumbling sound was heard,
Countless people in the audience were filled with joy.
"It's really good!" Seeing Zhou Qingfeng turning the steering wheel easily in the cab and driving the truck around, the director of the repair shop kept chasing after him, his molars were exposed with joy.
"I never thought that these wastes could be put to use."
After a few rounds, Zhou Qingfeng jumped out of the truck and said regretfully: "We don't have enough gasoline, and the enemy's air force is too arrogant, otherwise it would really be of great use."
"As long as it can be repaired." The man at the repair shop was not very demanding and chased Zhou Qingfeng to ask him to piece together the second truck.
But this week Qingfeng was not so cheerful. He smiled and asked the director of the repair shop in a low voice: "Old comrade, you see we have helped you, please support us too."
"What do you want?" It's not that there are people who want to have ideas for the repair shop, but people who come here often ask shamelessly, and there are few who can really help like Zhou Qingfeng. The director is willing to talk to Zhou Qingfeng.
Qingfeng makes some deals, it will be beneficial to everyone.
"We are from the second battalion, and we are short of machine guns in our battalion. I just want to see if you have any repaired machine guns here?" Zhou Qingfeng finally showed his fox tail.
Seeing that Zhou Qingfeng had managed to build a truck, the director, Heishan, also said happily: "There are quite a few machine guns, but none of them have been repaired."
"Can you let me take a look?" Zhou Qingfeng asked unwillingly.
"Okay." The director was also happy. He moved a lot of broken machine guns in his office from a wooden cart. "Young man, I think you are also a capable person. If you can repair these machine guns, I will
I'll let you take a quarter of it."
"Half, repair two machine guns, give me one." Zhou Qingfeng would not be satisfied with a quarter, this is too little. The director did not insist too much, and happily agreed to this ratio.
It seems that there are quite a lot of machine guns in this repair shop. In addition to Japanese miscellaneous items, a lot of them were recently obtained from the Nanbang Army. Some of them were damaged and had to be sent here.
M1917A1 water-cooled heavy machine gun, M1919A4 and M1919A6 air-cooled machine gun, M2HB heavy machine gun, M1918 light machine gun, looking at these US military standard machine guns, Zhou Qingfeng sighed in his heart - John Moses Browning is really a master of firearms.
There were more than thirty machine guns on display, all of them were broken, and most of them were seriously damaged. The director also felt sorry for these machine guns, "We can't repair the cars, but we can still repair the guns. But these are
It really can’t be repaired. If you replace it with the accessories we produce, it will break after just a few rounds.”
No wonder the director agreed so happily. The accuracy and material of the accessories made by local methods are definitely very different from the original ones, and they are definitely useless. I'm afraid he didn't expect Zhou Qingfeng to really repair it. After all, it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.
Well.
Zhou Qingfeng couldn't conjure up accessories out of thin air, and he couldn't make the repairman produce qualified accessories in the blink of an eye.
Should we just give up?
Zhou Qingfeng also had a headache, but after thinking about it for a while, he suddenly asked: "The repair shops of other regiments should also have a large number of firearms that cannot be repaired. Can I ask them to exchange parts, like a truck, to share the parts of several guns?"
Swap each other and come up with something that can be used?"
"Yes, it is possible, but it is not easy to transport so many guns to the armory of other regiments. Moreover, the troops are leaving at any time, and no one can say whether they can find each other within a certain period of time?" The director listed the difficulties again, "We
There is no way to carry these machine guns around, we can only send them to the division."
But Zhou Qingfeng smiled and said: "Isn't it just that we lack fast transportation capabilities? We already have a truck. We can immediately contact the repair shops of other regiments. This is much more reliable than manual transportation."
Everyone's eyes lit up and they felt that this was very feasible.
