Chapter 919 Piece Together

Troops march and fight, and various weapons need to be repaired. Among them, some were seized and some were lost by oneself. How to repair these things is an urgent problem that needs to be solved. The Volunteer Army also has weapon repair shops accompanying the army, all the way to regiment-level units.

However, Zhou Qingfeng's 347th regiment had very low repair ability, and important weapons were usually sent to division-level units for repair. However, since the regiment's weapon repair station was at the grassroots level, a large number of weapons and equipment were sent over.

Zhou Qingfeng's company is in a state of repair and has not started fighting yet. So he seized the time and volunteered to go to the regiment's weapon repair shop, knocked on the door of the repair shop's supervisor with two packs of cigarettes, and offered to come to help.

"Both of you know how to repair ordnance?" The director of the repair shop is a black and thin man in his forties. The repair shop he works in is just a temporary tent with more than fifty people under his command. There are quite a lot of old things on various carts.

There was a lack of tools and materials, and the level of personnel was relatively low. What they could do was to simply sort the damaged ordnance delivered. Simple repairs, complicated ones can only be sent away. Seeing Zhou Qingfeng and these two dumbfounded young men, everyone in the institute looked at them suspiciously.

"Whether it can be repaired or not, you will know if you try it?" Zhou Qingfeng came here with a guarantee. He learned some basic maintenance knowledge when he was messing around in the military museum. Not to mention ordinary ordnance, he can even repair old-fashioned tanks and planes.

"Hehe..., the tone is serious." How could the director trust Zhou Qingfeng's words, he pointed to a few trucks near the repair shop and said, "If you can work, fix those trucks for me."

Repairing a truck is easy! But when Zhou Qingfeng walked up to the trucks, he found that these trucks were in dilapidated condition and were riddled with machine guns.

"We are short of transport trucks now, but the Americans refused to let us seize these vehicles. These were hit by the enemy's air force and could not be driven. Our soldiers were reluctant to lose them and tried to send them to us, but we It can't be repaired, and it can't be transported away, so it can only be thrown away."

The director sighed as he looked at these trucks. Few people know how to drive these days, and even fewer people know how to repair them. It is even more difficult to repair a car that has been smashed by an enemy plane.

But seeing this scene, neither Zhou Qingfeng nor the 'Old Machine Gun' gave up easily, they exchanged glances and immediately began to inspect these trucks. They first judge the damage of these vehicles and evaluate how to repair them.

Seeing that these two people actually started repairing, everyone in the repair shop ran out to watch. The reliability of the current vehicles is not very good, and some maintenance tools are indispensable on the vehicle. Zhou Qingfeng started to work with these simple tools.

"Daddy Zhou, the engine of this car is good, but the chassis is broken."

"Daddy Zhou, these tires should be usable."

"Boss Zhou, the axle of this car is broken."

The 'Old Machine Gun' had repaired cars before, so he was more accurate than Zhou Qingfeng in judging vehicle failures. The director of the Equipment Repair Institute couldn't sit still after the two of them flirted with each other like this. He asked anxiously, "Are you really able to repair?"

"Two trucks should be able to be pieced together, and some spare parts can be recycled for other seriously damaged trucks." Zhou Qingfeng inspected a total of seven damaged trucks and came to a quite optimistic conclusion.

"It's not bad to be able to repair two cars." The director immediately shouted: "Come on, everyone, come to help, and listen to the command of Comrade Xiao Zhou. If we can repair two cars, they can be used to transport ammunition and supplies for us." , This is the equipment we are in short supply."

Jacks, wrenches, and hoist cranes are the simplest tools. But under Zhou Qingfeng's command, dozens of people from the Equipment Repair Institute were really mobilized.

A group of people worked for hours, putting together a truck with a damaged front. Put in a new engine, fix the axles, put on the wheels, bang it and start it up again. When the rumbling sound sounded, countless people in the audience were elated.

"It's really good!" Seeing Zhou Qingfeng easily turning the steering wheel in the cab, driving the truck around, and the director of the repair shop running after him, he was so happy that his back molars were exposed. "I really didn't expect these wastes to come in handy."

After turning around a few times, Zhou Qingfeng jumped out of the truck and said regretfully, "We don't have enough gasoline, and the enemy's air force is too arrogant, otherwise it will really come in handy."

"As long as it can be repaired." The people in the repair shop were not demanding, and chased Zhou Qingfeng to ask him to piece together the second truck.

But this time Zhou Qingfeng was not so straightforward, he smiled and asked the director of the repair shop in a low voice: "Old comrades, you see that we have helped you, please support us too."

"What do you want?" It's not that there are no people who want to get the idea of ​​repairing equipment, but the people who came here in the past are often cheeky and begging, and there are few who can really help like Zhou Qingfeng. The director is willing to make a deal with Zhou Qingfeng, which is good for everyone.

"We belong to the second battalion, and there is a shortage of machine guns in our battalion. I just want to see if you have repaired machine guns here?" Zhou Qingfeng finally showed his fox tail.

For the sake of Zhou Qingfeng tossing a truck, the director of Hei Shou also said cheerfully: "There are quite a few machine guns, but none of them have been repaired."

"Can you let me take a look?" Zhou Qingfeng asked unwillingly.

"Okay." The director was also very happy, and he moved a lot of broken machine guns in his station from a wooden cart, "Young man, I think you are also a capable person. If you can repair these machine guns, I will I will let you take a quarter of it."

"Half, fix two machine guns and give me one." Zhou Qingfeng will not be satisfied with a quarter, which is too little. The director didn't insist too much, and readily agreed to this ratio.

Speaking of which, there are quite a lot of machine guns in this workshop. In addition to the miscellaneous goods of Japanese weapons, a lot of them were recently obtained from the Nanbang Army, and some of them had to be sent here after being damaged.

M1917A1 water-cooled heavy machine gun, M1919A4 and M1919A6 air-cooled machine guns, M2HB heavy machine gun, M1918 light machine gun, looking at these US military standard machine guns, Zhou Qingfeng sighed in his heart - John Moses Browning is really a gun master.

There were more than 30 machine guns on display, all of which were broken, and most of them were seriously damaged. The director was also very sorry for these machine guns, "We can't repair the cars, but the guns can still be repaired. But these really can't be repaired. If we replace the parts we produce, they will break after a few shots."

No wonder the director agreed so happily. The accuracy and material of the parts made by local methods must be extremely different from the original parts, and it is certain that they will not be used. I'm afraid he didn't expect Zhou Qingfeng to be able to fix it, after all, it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice.

As for accessories, Zhou Qingfeng couldn't conjure them out of thin air, and he couldn't let Xiuji produce qualified accessories in the blink of an eye.

Do you just give up?

Zhou Qingfeng also had a headache, but he thought about it for a while and suddenly asked: "There should be a lot of firearms that cannot be repaired in the repair shops of other regiments, can we find them to exchange parts, just like carpooling, the parts of a few guns Swap each other and find something that can be used?"

"Yes, but it's not easy to transport so many guns to other regiments' repair shops. And the troops are on the move at any time, who can say that they can find each other in a short period of time?" The director listed the difficulties again, "We There is no way to run around with these machine guns, so they can only be sent to the division."

Zhou Qingfeng said with a smile: "Isn't it because of the lack of fast transportation capacity? We already have a truck. We can immediately contact the repair shops of other regiments. This is much more reliable than manpower transportation."

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they felt that this matter was very feasible.
