Yang Mingzhi deliberately stayed at the unloading site. A large number of ammunition boxes collected from four crashed planes were piled up into two hills. The vast number of soldiers were covered in mud. Although they were already showing signs of fatigue, everyone's faces remained unchanged.
Full of joy of harvest.
Yang Mingzhi also ordered a wooden box to be opened and inspected it carefully.
When the box was opened, the scene was really surprising. Because the packaging of these ammunition was so good.
"Really! There are two sealed cans in a wooden box, one box has 440 rounds, and you have to use a can opener to cut it open like a can of beef!" I can't believe that this time the old man actually acted like this
Seriously, the ammunition box delivered last time was not packaged so carefully. The existence of the iron box did protect the ammunition inside from water and moisture, but it also added a lot of weight.
Yang Mingzhi estimated that without these special packaging iron boxes, the boxes could hold a thousand rounds of the most conventional 7.62 mm bullets!
He stayed here, and some carriages were filled with large amounts of medicine, and they walked struttingly towards the village. Soldiers from two more battalions, because they had finished transporting ammunition inside the cabin, were not afraid of the mud and began to look for the broken wings.
.
They did find a lot of sacks tied between the double-layered wings of the aircraft. They used daggers to cut them open, and they were surprised to see that there were still ammunition boxes inside!
Several larger sacks caught the attention of a platoon of soldiers. When the dagger cut open the sacks that were half-sunk in the mud, a large flat wooden box suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
What is inside? The curious soldiers did not pry it open, because they found that just to pull it out of the mud, it had to be tied with hemp rope and dragged by more than a dozen people!
Several soldiers worked together to drag the box and let it slide on the muddy mountain. If there were still ammunition stuffed inside, it would probably not be contaminated by the mud.
At the wreckage of a wing, the soldiers found twelve large wooden boxes. Because they were too special, they simply sent them directly to the commander.
At this moment, Yang Mingzhi was also drinking tea, watching with interest the boxes of ammunition being loaded into the truck under the setting sun.
He asked people to carefully check various ammunition boxes and confirmed that the supplies this time were mainly rifle ammunition and pistol ammunition, which were the ammunition with the greatest demand for the troops. They were replenished with more than fifty rounds, which was really timely.
Some missiles with tail fins also appeared in some boxes. Seeing the first scene of them, a familiar yet strange feeling floated in Yang Mingzhi's heart.
Soon, the launchers of these missiles were also found. The missiles and launchers were assembled together. Isn't this an RPG?
"It seems that the weapons I invented are really widely equipped among friendly forces!"
Of course, he was surprised to find rocket-propelled grenades manufactured by regular Soviet arsenals. He also found some large 12.7 mm bullets, as well as some 14.5 mm bullets that were obviously anti-tank bullets.
It is understandable to use special ammunition for anti-tank rifles. After all, the army still has a large number of anti-tank rifles! The existence of these large-caliber machine gun ammunition is confusing, because the army currently only has one Deshka heavy machine gun.
.The amount of 12.7mm ammunition discovered is staggering. It is such a luxury to have tens of thousands of ammunition supplied to the only Deshka?!
Because, a vague idea appeared in the minds of Yang Mingzhi and Tepunov.
This supply must have new heavy machine guns! Unfortunately, a search of the engine room found no trace of the machine guns.
"Perhaps, the machine gun was transferred to the plane that was shot down by the Germans! What a pity!" Yang Mingzhi speculated. However, these ammunition can also make the only Deshka no longer lonely. It can quickly serve as an anti-aircraft machine gun, guarding
The blue sky of the guerrilla republic.
The transportation of ammunition is expected to be completed by nightfall, and there is still a lot of follow-up work. Some of the paratrooper brigade will stay and camp at the place where the plane crashed. In the next few days, as long as the weather conditions are good, the plane wreckage will be comprehensively cleaned up.
It must also begin.
So when more than a dozen wooden boxes were pulled in, Yang Mingzhi couldn't help but marvel.
Tepunov also joked: "Haha! My people are like trackers on the Volga River. They must be dragging good babies!"
"It does seem so!"
"Come on, Comrade Commander, let's go find out!"
A dozen boxes larger than coffins were dragged in front of Yang Mingzhi.
After washing the mud off with water, we saw that these boxes were all nailed with large nails. What is puzzling is that there are no inscriptions on these yellowed woods. This is not because the mud and water have washed away the ink, but because the wood has washed away the mud.
There is indeed no inscription on the box.
"What's in this?" asked Tepunov.
The platoon leader saluted: "Report to comrade commander, comrade brigade commander! We...we don't know at all."
"Since you don't know, open it and take a look! Maybe there is some kind of weapon inside, such as a mortar!" Yang Mingzhi authorized the soldiers to open the box. The soldiers quickly found the steel drill and inserted the sharp angle into the gap in the box.
Just knock slowly.
Soon, the clues inside the box suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"Hehe! This is really a machine gun! Look at this, those large bullets we found, this is the reason for their existence!" Yang Mingzhi clapped his thigh excitedly, and his fierce actions attracted a crowd of onlookers who didn't know what was going on.
The soldiers cheered.
The Deshka heavy machine gun just appeared. Because of his excitement, Yang Mingzhi couldn't wait to order his men to open all these big wooden boxes!
The five heavy machine guns found by the troops had their main components dismantled and folded, so they were loaded in twelve large boxes. As the order was issued, the soldiers of the paratrooper brigade took action quickly.
They are experienced in assembling these heavy machine guns, because this heavy machine gun is the standard equipment of the Soviet army. Its power is much stronger than the Russian-made Maxim. This is naturally due to its huge warhead and also benefits from the German
The slender barrel of the Shika heavy machine gun! As an offensive weapon against enemy infantry, this machine gun is so overpowering that it can shoot armor-piercing bullets in the air and shoot down all armored aircraft in this time and space!
Because of the air raid a few days ago, the German army's strong attack was equivalent to declaring the guerrilla republic's air defense operations to be completely passive. The Soviet army simply lacked reliable air defense firepower. Although the modified eight-unit MG34 miraculously knocked down three aircraft, it also
More than 30,000 rounds of high-quality Mauser heavy bullets were consumed. This is really a huge consumption! In fact, the bullet consumption of anti-aircraft machine guns is indeed calculated in units of 10,000. It is a pity that the Guerrilla Republic cannot afford such consumption!
After the mine deployed four eight-unit anti-aircraft machine guns, Yang Mingzhi deliberately informed the arsenal to reduce the progress of the transformation of new anti-aircraft machine guns.
Now, the more powerful Deshka heavy machine gun has been assembled under the skillful hands of the paratrooper brigade soldiers. Including the one in stock, there are six of them! Isn't this the best anti-aircraft machine gun?
The sun was gradually setting, and Yang Mingzhi was singing and driving his jeep. He was in a very happy mood. A large number of carriages were also loaded with goods. A large amount of ammunition was loaded after counting, and then the carriages directly sent them to the arms warehouse.
The first day of June 1942 was such a good day. The girls finally became heroes of the Soviet Union, and finally wore medals symbolizing supreme glory on their chests! In terms of military affairs, the heavy machine gun sent by their superiors suddenly saved the lives of Soviet soldiers.
The guerrilla republic's air defense capability is in jeopardy. And the magnetron sent specially is a priceless treasure.
