Chapter 920 I don't like red clothes, I like armed
There is a fatal problem with the Volunteer Army's entry into North Korea, that is, the logistics have been in a catastrophic state. Not only has the US military's aerial strangulation caused huge damage, the Volunteer Army itself is also in a state of groping for modern warfare - to put it simply, it is a 'poor'
I have never seen the world.
Due to the lack of transportation, lack of radio stations, and lack of professional technical officers, the level of mobility and communication of the Volunteer Army could not even reach the level of World War I.
You can see how big the problem is from a small aspect - several regiments under the same division cannot simply communicate with each other in terms of logistics.
Zhou Qingfeng's current 347th Regiment is in urgent need of machine guns, mortars and other weapons and equipment. However, there are a large number of damaged weapons accumulated in the regiment's repair shop and cannot be repaired. It is also difficult to transport these items to the rear. They can only collect them and store them - don't
I think this is stupid and there is nothing I can do about it.
This is a series of troubles faced by the Volunteer Army. If you want to solve one of them, it will lead to a series of problems. Zhou Qingfeng originally wanted to gain some initiative before the Battle of Yunshan started, but who knew that in order to solve a problem, he had to solve it
This series of questions.
"The battle may start at any time, and the troops are in urgent need of heavy weapons. Director, let's work together to load the equipment that is in urgent need of repair onto the vehicle. You and I will go to other regiments and even the division headquarters repair shop to provide as much supply as possible to the soldiers on the front line.
Good equipment.”
The matter was urgent and there was no room for too much delay. Looking at the truck that Zhou Qingfeng had finally repaired, everyone in the repair shop of the 347th Regiment burst out with great enthusiasm for work. They understood the problem of lack of frontline firepower all too well.
A good weapon can save the lives of many soldiers!
"The army is especially short of heavy machine guns and mortars. We give priority to repairing these two items." After the director gave the order, dozens of people in the station immediately moved out all their belongings, and many of the damaged ordnance stored in them were moved as quickly as possible.
Loaded onto the truck.
Zhou Qingfeng drove his car and rushed towards the division headquarters repair shop of the 116th Division. Since the command was at the front, the division headquarters was not far from the front line. His arrival gave the division headquarters repair shop a big surprise.
"You are so brave, aren't you afraid of American planes in the sky?" The leader of the division's repair shop was surprised at first, then looked at the firearms and parts removed from the truck and said with a smile: "Oh, they are all good.
Things, we are just thinking about how to transport the damaged equipment from the front line to repair it."
The tools and equipment in the division's armory were obviously much better than those in the regiment's armory. Zhou Qingfeng brought about three tons of ordnance to be repaired and immediately set off to transport it to other regiments.
Before nightfall, the headquarters of the 116th Division specially assigned a driver to use the two trucks that Zhou Qingfeng put together to gather all the various weapons to be repaired that were stored by the three regiments in the division and process them in a unified manner.
Two dilapidated trucks can be regarded as playing a big role. If we look at it a few decades later, this will be the logistics deployment that revitalizes internal assets.
"Boss Zhou, don't go to the front line anymore. You can repair cars and drive, and you have a smart mind. I'll apply for a transfer order, and you can come to our repair shop." The leader of the division's repair shop felt a bit of talent.
, I feel that it is too wasteful for people like Zhou Qingfeng to stay on the front line and should be protected.
The Volunteer Army's division-level troops also have a special fleet of vehicles, but they must be used with the approval of the division leaders. They are not flexible to use. It is also impossible to spare two vehicles like Zhou Qingfeng picking up garbage to transport the vehicle to the repair shop, so the repair team
The leader of the mechanical institute wanted to bring him over.
"I'm a squad leader now, and I can't leave my comrades." Zhou Qingfeng immediately shook his head. He didn't want to stay in a repair shop. It was safer, but he couldn't get any military merit.
There is no way to force this matter. Everyone can only turn their attention to the division's repair shop. There are two to three hundred people in the division's repair shop. Their technical capabilities and equipment are much better. They can also use some scraps of iron and steel to produce some.
Available spare parts greatly enhance their repair capabilities.
While others needed a rest this night, Zhou Qingfeng was full of energy in repairing in the real world. He even drove a broken car to the military-level armory of the 39th Army overnight, and it was also a trip to exchange what was needed.
Logistics journey.
The division's armory can repair machine guns and rifles, and the military's armory is larger and has better equipment. They can repair artillery. The 116th Division also stocked up a lot of artillery that it could not repair. Zhou Qingfeng mainly selected ten
Several light mortars were pulled over and the comrades at the military repair station were immediately stunned.
"Hey, you guys brought five of the old American M1 mortars over at once. You also brought one 105-caliber M2 howitzer over here. Isn't your driver afraid that the car will overturn in the middle of the night?"
In the past, the troops were always on the move. It was difficult to send so many artillery pieces for repair in time. Relying on people to push and carry them would tire the soldiers to death. Large-caliber howitzers, for example, weighed two tons. Without trucks to tow them, they had to be dismantled and dismantled.
Use big animals and camels. But in a mountainous place like Korea, mules and horses are also tired!
"Chief, the frontline is in urgent need of artillery now. We want to exchange it with you. How about exchanging two bad ones for one good one? Just agree to it quickly. We are really in a hurry." Zhou Qingfeng acted cute at the right time. He is now
He still looks like he has no hair on his mouth, and his worried tone is very contagious.
"Little comrade, don't be anxious, we will start work immediately." The leaders of the military repair and armament station also mobilized overnight and deployed manpower to repair. At the same time, they gave a batch of repaired artillery to Zhou Qingfeng, and even paired it with a batch of artillery shells.
Zhou Qingfeng sent over a dozen large and small artillery pieces to be repaired, and when he came back, he brought more than 20 repaired artillery pieces. Although most of them were small 60mm mortars, this batch of artillery pieces and hundreds of rounds of artillery shells
Everyone in the 116th Division was extremely excited.
These damn artillery pieces! In order to allocate these mortars, the commanders of the three regiments in the division were quarreling. Of course, Zhou Qingfeng’s half-thoughts came to nothing, but he didn’t have to fight and secretly handed over a batch of mortars.
A mortar, two machine guns and corresponding ammunition were taken away.
When Zhou Qingfeng used a wooden cart to pull the weapons back overnight, his company was alarmed. Looking at a Sany-type 60mm mortar and fifty rounds of shells, the company commander stared around the wooden cart
The car spins in circles.
The instructor patted Zhou Qingfeng on the shoulder and said happily: "Good boy, you can do it! The company commander and I were worried about where to get a cannon, but you got a good thing quietly, and it also came with cannonballs."
"
Unfortunately, the cannon was not much better. It was captured from the Fruit Party in the past. But the company commander was extremely satisfied after completing the circle. He strode up to Zhou Qingfeng and said: "You kid must have hidden it well."
Something, right?"
"Hehehe... there is also a box of American hand grenades." Zhou Qingfeng pretended to be stupid.
"I don't want any more grenades, and this gun is handed over." The company commander waved his hand and took away the best equipment. His posture was as neat as attacking a rich man.
When Zhou Qingfeng returned to his platoon, the platoon leader and deputy platoon leader stared at him with dark faces. He quickly shouted: "As promised, get two machine guns and give me one."
The platoon leader's black face immediately turned from anger to joy. He grinned and pulled Zhou Qingfeng's arm and shouted: "I knew you Zhou Qingfeng had so many clever ideas, but you actually hid your hands. Quick, quick, take out the machine gun. I
I’m almost going crazy thinking about a machine gun.”
An M1917A1 water-cooled heavy machine gun, an M1919A6 air-cooled light machine gun, and the best thing is that it also comes with several ammunition boxes, with a total of more than 2,000 rounds of ammunition. In addition to the box of grenades left behind, everyone in the platoon watched
Everyone was dazzled and kept giggling.
The Chinese people are so ambitious. They don’t like red clothes but prefer armed weapons!
