Chapter 468: Establishment of the Repair Institute (First Update!) )
Hearing that the troops would increase heavy weapons, Hong Linfeng breathed a sigh of relief.
But it didn't last long, and the brow furrowed again.
"But regiment commander, in addition to the heavy weapons that Battalion Commander Peng just took away, we only have four mortars, three heavy machine guns, and more than ten light machine guns left.
"It's definitely not enough!" Li Hao replied very directly.
"What about the expansion of the troops?" Hong Linfeng subconsciously asked.
A touch of mystery quickly flashed on Li Hao's face, and then he replied: "Don't forget, we still have a large number of weapons that have been blown up on the battlefield, and if you use them well, you can also turn waste into treasure!" ”
"Political commissar, chief of staff, I decided to set up a weapons repair station in the independent regiment to repair weapons damaged on the battlefield!"
"If I'm not mistaken, plus the weapons we have captured in our previous operations and used them ourselves, there are more than 1,500 rifles scrapped in the warehouse."
"There must be fifty light and heavy machine guns combined!"
"If we can repair half of these weapons, it will be seven or eight hundred rifles and nearly thirty light and heavy machine guns, which can fully meet all the weapons needed for the expansion of our independent battalion into an independent regiment!"
Political Commissar Wang Hong only thought for a few seconds before agreeing: "I agree to set up an armament repair institute to repair those weapons and equipment damaged on the battlefield!" ”
"But the head of the regiment, we don't have any skilled workers in our hands, no workers, no technology, even if we have raw materials, we can't repair it!"
Li Hao shook his head and explained: "For the time being, the repair institute does not need too high-skilled workers, just ordinary veterans!" ”
"Isn't there a battle where dozens of soldiers are disabled and have to leave the combat unit, so they will be used as the basis to form a repair shop!"
"Can they?" Wang Hong asked rhetorically with a disbelieving expression on his face!
He also wanted to turn those broken weapons into treasures, but let a group of seriously wounded people with no technology repair them, he couldn't believe it anyway, and there was no reason to convince himself to believe it.
Hong Linfeng was more direct and retorted with great certainty: "Impossible, repairing weapons is a technical job, if everyone can do it, then it will not be so difficult to build and repair guns!" ”
"Regiment commander, I don't believe that dozens of their seriously wounded people can repair more than a thousand waste guns in the warehouse!"
Li Hao had a smile on his face, and his expression did not change in the slightest.
Then he looked at the two people and replied: "They definitely won't repair guns!" ”
"But if you want to turn those waste guns into treasures, you don't necessarily need to repair them!"
"Let's go, I'll take you to see it now!"
"Political commissar, all the waste guns we captured in this battle are still in the battalion headquarters, let's go directly to the warehouse, take a few waste guns and try them out, you will understand!"
In a thatched hut hidden in the woods, Li Hao casually picked a few guns and walked out.
Under the gaze of several pairs of eyes around you, use a very simple tool to start dismantling the gun!
Soon, a rifle was disassembled by him into dozens of large and small parts, which were placed on the table in front of him!
After dismantling the remaining four waste guns with the same action, Li Hao began to load the guns.
"Lao Hong, you come to help me, we don't have equipment to help, some steps require two people to load the parts together!" Li Hao ordered while loading the gun!
Because it was the first time to assemble the 38 big cover, it took two people a full hour to complete it.
After checking the loaded rifle, Li Hao quickly put it flat in his hand, then loaded the bullet, aimed at the front, and decisively pulled the trigger!
A crisp sound of the firing pin hitting the air came from the chamber of the gun, which meant that this was a good gun that could be used, and a smile flashed at the corner of Li Hao's mouth!
"It's really done!"
Political Commissar Wang Hong asked rhetorically with a pair of big eyes, with a shocked expression of disbelief on his face!
Li Hao directly handed the loaded rifle to Wang Hong.
After a careful inspection, Wang Hong had to admit that Li Haozhen had repaired a waste gun!
Seeing Wang Hong looking at himself with a puzzled expression, Li Hao explained: "The real repair gun is a broken part, and the workers will rebuild this part and replace the rifle!" ”
"And the repair institute we want to set up, because there are no skilled workers and the conditions are limited, we can only save this step!"
"All the waste guns are disassembled into parts, and all parts of the same rifle can be used to find out the good parts and reassemble a new rifle!"
"This minimizes the technical requirements, and as long as our workers are familiar enough with the 38 big covers, they can repair the guns."
"Of course, if the repair institute wants to develop and grow, it can't be dismantled and disassembled!"
"We have to develop our own skilled workers, and the first part is to find a blacksmith, a very skilled blacksmith!"
"When the repair shop reassembles the rifle, it will find out which parts are the most vulnerable to blowing up on the battlefield, and with a skilled blacksmith, we can have them use the most primitive method of striking iron to create these damaged parts."
"That way, we'll have more scrap guns to be repaired!"
"The second step is to find a few workers who have been in the arsenal to join the repair shop, let them become the backbone of the repair shop, and then find a way to get them some equipment back, and produce and process more parts through the equipment."
"In the future, there will be more and more equipment in the repair shop, and more and more skilled workers will be able to produce all the parts on a rifle, so we can imitate and produce the 38 covers by ourselves!"
"In addition, we have to do one thing in the whole process, which is to find people who can make bullets and find a way to have them reload us at the repair shop!"
"Of course, the process will definitely be long, but this step has to be taken!"
"It's still what I just said, the current war is more about logistics, we can't pin all our logistics supplies on the battlefield capture, we must find a way to be self-sufficient, even if we have to pay a very big price!"
The expression on Wang Hong's face slowly changed from disbelief at the beginning to seriousness.
It took a long time to come back to his senses, and then he replied: "I agree with the head of the regiment and set up a repair institute!" ”
"The first part is to set up the repair institute, and through this method of disassembling and assembling weapons, the waste guns in the warehouse will be turned into treasures and reused as soon as possible! Only then will we have enough equipment to expand the troops and turn the separate battalion into a veritable independent regiment! ”
"Commander, I'll do this!"
"When the repair institute is established, you will be responsible for training the first batch of workers and repairing a batch of rifles as soon as possible!"
"As for those looking for skilled workers, I will personally follow up when the time comes, there is a Taiyuan Arsenal in Shanxi, as long as we look for it, we will definitely be able to find it!"
Hong Linfeng also reacted at this time: "Regiment commander, political commissar, if these waste guns can be repaired halfway, then there will be no shortage of weapons for our independent battalion to expand the independent regiment!" ”
"In addition, the military sub-district has already issued us an order to expand the troop formation, let us finalize the establishment as soon as possible, and then report it. I don't know if you have thought about it with the regiment commander and political commissar? ”
Li Hao thought for a moment and replied: "The preliminary idea is here!" ”
"The three main companies and independent companies have been expanded into battalions, this is for sure, the only thing I hesitate now is the firepower configuration of the troops!"
"If the infantry company is still the current reinforced company, the four main battalions plus the directly subordinate troops will be three or four thousand people, which is too unrealistic, with the current base and foundation of the independent regiment, it will definitely not be able to raise so many troops and heavy weapons!"
