Chapter 919: Patchwork
When troops march and fight, it is indispensable to have various weapons that need to be repaired. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info There are seized and lost by themselves, and how to repair these things is a problem that needs to be solved urgently. There are also repair shops within the Volunteer Army, all the way down to regimental units.
However, the repair capacity of the 347th Regiment to which Zhou Qingfeng belonged was very low, and important weapons were generally sent to division-level units for repair. However, due to the fact that the regimental armament repair center was located at the grassroots level, a large amount of weapons and equipment were sent over.
Zhou Qingfeng's company is in a state of repair, and the battle has not started for the time being. So he seized the time and volunteered to go to the regimental repair office, knocked on the door of the director of the repair station with two packs of cigarettes, and offered to help.
"You two can repair ordnance?" The director of the repair shop is a black and thin man in his forties, and the repair shop where he works is a makeshift tent, with more than 50 people under his command, but there are a lot of shabby things placed on various carts.
There was a lack of tools and materials, and the level of personnel was relatively low, so what was capable was to simply classify the damaged ordnance that was sent. Simple repairs, complex can only be sent away. Seeing Zhou Qingfeng, the two stunned youths, the people in the institute all looked at them with suspicion.
"Will it be repaired, will you know if you try it?" Zhou Qingfeng has come here with a package ticket, and he didn't learn some basic maintenance knowledge when he was tossing around in the military expo before. Not to mention ordinary ordnance, he can even repair old tank planes.
"Hehe...... tone is not small." How could the director believe Zhou Qingfeng's words, he pointed to a few trucks near the repair shop and said, "If you can work, repair those trucks for me." ”
It's easy to repair a truck! But when Zhou Qingfeng walked in front of the trucks, he found that the trucks were all in tatters, all of which were riddled with holes from machine guns.
"We're short of trucks right now, but the Americans won't let us seize them. These were hit by the enemy's air force and could not be driven, and our soldiers were reluctant to lose them, so they tried to send them to us, but we couldn't repair them, and we couldn't transport them, so we could only lose them. ”
The director sighed when he looked at these trucks, there are fewer people who can drive these days, and even fewer who can repair cars. It is even more difficult to repair a car that has been damaged by an enemy plane.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Qingfeng and the 'old machine gun' did not give up easily, and the two immediately began to inspect these trucks after looking at each other. They first determine the damage to these vehicles and assess how to repair them.
Seeing that these two people really started to make repairs, the people in the repair shop all ran out to see. The reliability of the current vehicles is not very good, and the car is indispensable with some maintenance tools, and Zhou Qingfeng uses these simple tools to start working.
"Zhou Da, the engine of this car is good, but the chassis is broken."
"Zhou Da, these tires should be usable."
"Zhou Da, the axle of this car is broken."
The 'old machine gun' had repaired the car, and his judgment of the vehicle's failure was more accurate than Zhou Qingfeng's. The two of them were so upside down that the director of the repair institute couldn't sit still, and he asked urgently, "Can you really repair?" ”
"It should be possible to piece together two cars, and some spare parts can be recovered from other badly damaged cars." Zhou Qingfeng inspected a total of seven damaged trucks and came to a fairly optimistic conclusion.
"It's nice to be able to fix two." The director immediately shouted: "Come, everyone come to help, listen to the command of this Comrade Xiao Zhou." If we can fix two vehicles, we can use them to transport ammunition supplies, which is a very short supply of equipment. ”
Jacks, wrenches, hoist cranes, are the simplest tools. But under the command of Zhou Qingfeng, dozens of people from the repair institute were really mobilized.
A group of people were busy for hours, piecing together a truck with a damaged front of the car. Put on a new engine, fix the axles, put on the wheels, and bang it up again. When the rumbling sound sounded, countless people in the audience were jubilant.
"It's really good!" Watching Zhou Qingfeng easily turn the steering wheel in the cab, driving the truck around, the director of the repair shop was chasing after him and kept running, and he was so happy that his back molars were exposed. "I didn't expect this waste to come in handy."
After a few turns, Zhou Qingfeng jumped out of the truck and said regretfully: "Our gasoline is not enough, and the enemy's air force is too arrogant, otherwise it can really come in handy." ”
"As long as it can be fixed." The people in the repair shop were not very demanding, and chased Zhou Qingfeng and asked him to piece together the second truck.
But next week, Qingfeng was not so happy, he smiled and asked the director of the repair institute in a low voice: "Old comrade, you see that we have helped you, you can also support us."
"What do you want?" It's not that there are no people who want to repair the idea, but the people who come in the past are often cheeky and begging, and there are few people who can really help like Zhou Qingfeng. The director is willing to make some deals with Zhou Qingfeng, which is good for everyone.
"We belong to the second battalion, and we are short of machine guns in our battalion. Just want to see if you have any repaired machine guns here? Zhou Qingfeng finally showed his fox tail.
For Zhou Qingfeng's sake of tossing a truck, the black and thin director also said happily: "There are a lot of machine guns, but there are really no repairs." ”
"Can you show me?" Zhou Qingfeng asked unrelentingly.
"Okay." The director was also very happy, and he moved a large number of broken machine guns from a wooden cart in his office, "Young man, I think you are also a capable man. If you can fix these machine guns, I'll take a quarter of them for you. ”
"Half, fix two machine guns, give me one." Zhou Qingfeng will not be satisfied with a quarter, which is too little. The director didn't insist too much, and happily agreed to this ratio.
Speaking of which, there are really a lot of machine guns in this repair shop, and in addition to the miscellaneous goods of Japanese weapons, many of them have recently been obtained from the Nanbang army, and some of them have to be sent here after being destroyed.
M1917A1 water-cooled heavy machine guns, M1919A4 and M1919A6 air-cooled machine guns, M2HB heavy machine guns, M1918 light machine guns, looking at these American standard machine guns, Zhou Qingfeng sighed in his heart. Moses. Browning is truly a master of firearms.
There were more than 30 machine guns on display, all of which were broken, and most of them were seriously damaged. The director also regretted these machine guns, "We can't fix the car, but the gun can still be repaired." But these really can't be repaired, and the accessories we produce are replaced, and they will break if they can't hit a few shots. ”
No wonder the director agreed so happily, the accessories made by the local method must have a huge gap with the original accessories in terms of accuracy and material, and it is certain that they will not be used. I'm afraid he didn't expect Zhou Qingfeng to really be able to repair it, after all, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.
Accessories, Zhou Qingfeng can't conjure up out of thin air, and he can't let the repair machine produce qualified accessories in the blink of an eye.
Do you want to give up?
Zhou Qingfeng also had a headache, but he pondered for a while and suddenly asked: "The repair institutes of other regiments should also have a large number of guns that can't be repaired, can you find them to exchange accessories, and just like a truck, the parts of several guns are swapped with each other to make up something that can be used?" ”
"Yes, but it is not easy to transport so many guns to the repair shops of other regiments. And the troops are being drawn at any time, and no one can say that they will be able to find each other in some time? The director listed the difficulties again, "We can't run around with these machine guns, we can only send them to the division." ”
Zhou Qingfeng said with a smile: "Isn't it just a lack of fast transportation capacity, we already have a truck now." We can contact the repair shops of other regiments right away, which is much more reliable than manpower. ”
Everyone's eyes lit up, and they felt that this was very feasible.
