Chapter 1331 - Self-Built Armed Cars? (Fifth Update!) )
The garrison regiment's heavy artillery battalion was located in a forest next to the road near Lingqiu.
Externally, this is called a pig farm.
It does look exactly the same as other pig farms on the outside, and there are indeed nearly 100 fat pigs inside, but they are all used by the heavy artillery battalion to confuse the public.
When you really enter the pig farm, you will find that there is something special in it.
Behind the pig barn are rows of camouflaged barracks, built against the mountain, and if you don't get close, you won't find it.
Behind the barracks, a dozen semi-underground ammunition depots are hidden here.
These ammunition depots were specially built for heavy artillery, and the soldiers dug them up with spades and shovels in the mountains, and most of the ammunition depots were in the mountains, which could be safely bombed by aircraft.
An ammunition depot resembling a bomb shelter hides a heavy artillery, and some people will surely find this a bit of a fuss.
Not really.
This heavy artillery battalion is not only a big killer of the garrison regiment, but also the only one in the entire Eighth Route Army, and it is also a thorn in the side of the Japanese army, a thorn in the flesh, and it has suffered great losses in the hands of this unit again and again.
Since the formation of the heavy artillery battalion, it has not given up looking for them, destroying them.
If the heavy artillery battalion was stationed in a normal camp, the Japanese would only need to send a few planes to destroy it completely after finding it......
This is an outcome that no one but the Japanese wants to see.
After repeated investigation and confirmation, Li Hao designated this place as the garrison of the heavy artillery battalion, and claimed to the outside world that it was a pig farm at the regimental headquarters.
Battalion commander Yuan Qingfeng has been particularly distressed in the past few days, because all the troops of the garrison regiment that can go to the battlefield have been put on board, and every unit has achieved fruitful results, but the heavy artillery battalion has been staying at the garrison and has no task.
For several days, the heavy artillery battalion sent two telegrams to the commissar asking for war every day.
As a result, all fell into the sea, and there was no response, as if the heavy artillery battalion had been forgotten.
Several times Yuan Qingfeng had risen to the urge to abandon all heavy artillery and bring some artillery equipped with ordinary mountain artillery and mortars to reinforce the battlefield.
However, as soon as this idea came out, it was firmly opposed by the instructors, and finally came to nothing.
In the words of the instructor, not only these heavy artillery pieces are baby bumps in the heavy artillery battalion, but every gunner is also a baby.
Heavy artillery is different from ordinary mortars, its gunners have to go through a longer period of training, and they also need to have a certain cultural foundation, ten ordinary gunners may not be able to select two qualified heavy artillery gunners, and one person killed or injured in battle is a huge loss.
Therefore, without an order from the regimental headquarters, no one in the heavy artillery battalion can easily go to the battlefield.
The day's difficult wait was finally over, and the battle order that Yuan Qingfeng was looking forward to still did not appear.
"Battalion commander, go down and rest! It's so late, there will definitely be no order, I'm on duty tonight! Seeing the unwilling expression on the battalion commander's face, the instructor was also very helpless, but without an order, the heavy artillery battalion just couldn't move, this was a matter of principle, and he could only comfort him.
Yuan Qingfeng sighed and replied, "The counter-sweep we were waiting for was almost over, and we haven't waited for the order yet." ”
"Could it be that our heavy artillery battalion really has no chance to go to the battlefield in this battle?"
"Battalion commander, political commissar urgent!" The operator suddenly rushed in to report, with a smile on his face.
"Combat orders?" Yuan Qingfeng stared at the operator with an expectant expression.
"It's a battle order!" The operator nodded quickly and quickly handed over the telegram in his hand.
Yuan Qingfeng shifted his gaze to the map at a glance, and said to the instructor while looking for it: "Quickly find Pingshui Town, the political commissar will let us walk day and night, and use two nights to move the heavy artillery battalion there to hide and wait, each gun carries a hundred shells, and we will set off tonight." ”
The instructor was also excited.
Fighting devils on the battlefield is something that every soldier desires, and instructors are no exception.
Hurriedly walked to the map, and the battalion commander and the battalion commander searched for Pingshui Town.
Two minutes later, he excitedly shouted: "Battalion commander, I found it, here it is." ”
After saying this, the smile on the instructor's face disappeared, and his expression became more and more serious.
Yuan Qingfeng's brows also twisted, and he asked puzzledly: "It's too strange!" ”
"The terrain here is flat, there is not even a small hill within a radius of ten kilometers, only a few small forests, which is definitely not suitable for ambushes."
"What did the commissar do you do when you transferred us there? Do you want to fight a positional war with the devil? ”
The instructor shook his head and replied, "The possibility of a positional battle is very low. ”
"Pingshui Town is located between Guangling and Laiyuan, and the devil sweeping troops have already fought there, so it is definitely impossible to go a second time."
"Even if we really go, it won't be the main force, and we can't find an opponent if we want to fight positional warfare there."
"Don't think about it......" Yuan Qingfeng replied with a frown, shaking his head like a rattle.
"The commissar will definitely not let us run for nothing, there must be a task to go there."
"Order the whole heavy artillery battalion to assemble, and we train this several times a day, so I ask the troops to be ready to set off within half an hour."
More than ten kilometers away, in another forest, an armored company was also gathering.
Fourteen armored combat vehicles and twenty modified cars were all assembled in ten minutes.
Nearly two hundred fighters, half of whom got into the chariot and the cab of the car, and half of the warriors into the car compartment.
Combat vehicles and armored vehicles were captured devils, and the cars were modified by the garrison regiment arsenal itself.
On the battlefield, the garrison must have captured more than fourteen combat vehicles and armored vehicles, most of which were blown up before they died, and lost their repair value.
But the steel plates on armored combat vehicles can be used.
Hong Yuanshu has been trying to increase the strength of the armored company since he became the company commander.
It is too difficult to capture armored combat vehicles, and on the battlefield, one armored company is blown up and one is missing.
He had no choice but to find another way to increase the equipment of the tank company from other ways.
Seeing the troops dismantle the blown up armored vehicles and send the steel plates that could block the bullets to the arsenal for recuperation, he was heartbroken more than anyone else.
At this time, the car that came to pull the steel plate made his eyes light up, and he thought of a way to produce his own combat vehicle.
Thus, the first bulletproof car of the garrison regiment was born, modified on its own.
The entire car was wrapped in steel plates, the cab remained unchanged, and the windshield became a steel plate with only one lookout.
The passenger compartment turned into a firing position.
The windshield turned into a thickened steel plate with a shooting hole on it, on which a light machine gun was fastened, striking head-on at all enemies who wanted to get close to bulletproof cars.
A heavy machine gun is fixed on the roof of the cab, and a light machine gun is fixed on each side of the compartment, all of which are protected by steel plates, and the top is also covered with a layer of steel plates.
The machine gunner hides inside and shoots out, and the whole car is transformed into a mobile bunker, which can be attacked and defended on the battlefield, which is definitely a weapon to kill the enemy.
After the first prototype came out, Hong Yuanshu specially tested it with a heavy machine gun.
Not only can it withstand light and heavy machine gun fire, but also at close range from ordinary mortars, and self-defense will definitely be fine.
