Chapter 920 Don’t Love Red Clothes, Love Armed Arms
There is a fatal problem with the volunteer army entering the DPRK, that is, the logistics and logistics have been in a catastrophic state. ?? Not only the U.S. aerial strangulation war caused huge damage, but the Volunteer Army itself is also in a state of groping for modern warfare-to put it simply, it is a word of "poor", and has never seen the world.
Due to the lack of means of transportation, lack of radio stations, and lack of professional technical officers, the level of mobility and communication of the Volunteer Army did not even reach that of World War I.
From a small aspect, it can be seen how big the problem is-several regiments under the same division cannot simply communicate with each other in terms of logistics.
The 347th Regiment where Zhou Qingfeng is currently in urgent need of machine guns, mortars and other weapons and equipment, but there is a large amount of damaged weapons piled up in the regiment's repair shop, which cannot be repaired, and it is difficult to transport these things to the rear, so they can only be collected and stored—don't I thought it was stupid, it was impossible.
This is a series of troubles faced by the Volunteer Army. If you want to solve one of them, you will lead to a series. Zhou Qingfeng originally wanted to gain some initiative before the battle of Yunshan started, but who knew that in order to solve one problem, he had to solve a series of problems.
"The battle may start at any time, and the troops are in urgent need of heavy weapons. Commander, let's work together to load the equipment that urgently needs to be repaired into the car. You and I will go to other regiments and even division headquarters repair shops to provide as much as possible to the frontline soldiers. Good equipment."
The matter is urgent and there is no room for too much delay. Seeing the truck that Zhou Qingfeng managed to repair with great difficulty, all the members of the 347th Regiment's Repair Institute burst out with great enthusiasm for work. They are too aware of the lack of front-line firepower. A good weapon can save the lives of many soldiers!
"The army is especially short of heavy machine guns and mortars. We give priority to repairing these two items." The director gave an order, and dozens of people in the office immediately moved out all their belongings. On to the truck.
Zhou Qingfeng drove the car to the division's repair shop of the 116th division. Since the command was at the front, the division headquarters was not far from the front line, so his arrival gave the division headquarters a big surprise.
"You guys are really brave, aren't you afraid of the American planes in the sky?" The leader of the division's weaponry institute was surprised at first, then looked at the guns and parts unloaded from the truck and laughed happily: "Oh, it's all good. Things, we are thinking about how to transport the damaged equipment from the front line to repair."
The tools and equipment in the division's repair facility are obviously much better than those in the group's repair facility. Zhou Qingfeng brought about three tons of ordnance to be repaired, and immediately set off for other regiments to transport.
Before nightfall, the division headquarters of the 116th Division specially dispatched a driver to use the two trucks assembled by Zhou Qingfeng to gather all the various weapons waiting for repair hoarded by the three regiments in the division for unified processing.
Two battered trucks helped a lot. If it is decades later, it is logistics deployment that revitalizes internal assets.
"Boss Zhou, don't go to the front line in the future. You can repair cars and drive, and you have a flexible mind. I will apply for a transfer order. Come to our repair shop." The leader of the division repair shop felt a little pity for his talents. , I feel that it is too wasteful for people like Zhou Qingfeng to stay on the front line and should be protected.
The division-level units of the Volunteer Army also have special car teams, but they must be approved by the division leaders before they can be used, and they are not flexible to use. It was even more impossible to free up two cars like Zhou Qingfeng picked up trash to run and transport the repair shop, so the leader of the repair shop really wanted to pull him over.
"I'm a squad leader now, and I can't leave my comrades in arms." Zhou Qingfeng shook his head immediately, he didn't want to stay in some kind of workshop. It is safer to be safe, but don't even think about taking military exploits.
There is no way to force this matter, and everyone can only cast their eyes on the teacher's repair facility. There are two to three hundred people in the division's repair department, with much stronger technical capabilities and equipment, and they can also use some scrap iron and steel to produce some spare parts that are barely usable, which greatly strengthens their repair ability.
While others needed to rest this night, Zhou Qingfeng was full of energy to recuperate in the real world. He even drove a broken car overnight to the military-level repair shop of the 39th Army,
It is also a logistics trip to exchange what is needed.
The repair department of the division headquarters can repair machine guns and rifles, and the repair department of the military headquarters has a larger scale and better equipment, and they can repair guns. The 116th Division also hoarded a lot of artillery that he couldn't repair. Zhou Qingfeng mainly picked more than a dozen lightweight mortars and pulled them over, immediately stunned the comrades in the Army Repair Institute.
"Hey, old beautiful m1 mortars, you pull five of them at once. There is also one of the 105 caliber m2 howitzers. Your driver is not afraid of the car overturning in the middle of the night, isn't it?"
In the past, the troops had been moving and marching, so it was difficult to send up and repair so many artillery pieces in time, and the soldiers could be exhausted to death by pushing them over their shoulders. However, a large-caliber howitzer weighs two tons, and without a truck tow it, it can only be disassembled and used by a large animal. But in a mountainous place like North Korea, mules and horses are also tired!
"Mr., the front line is in urgent need of artillery, and we want to exchange it with you. How about two broken ones and one good one? Just agree, we are really in a hurry." Zhou Qingfeng acted cute at the right time, he is now Still looking hairless on his mouth, his worried tone is contagious.
"Little comrade, don't worry, we'll start working right away." The leader of the Military Repair Institute also mobilized overnight to deploy manpower to repair it. At the same time, he gave Zhou Qingfeng a batch of artillery that had been repaired, and even added a batch of shells.
Zhou Qingfeng sent up a dozen large and small cannons to be repaired, but when he came back, he brought more than twenty repaired cannons. Although most of them were small 60mm mortars, this batch of artillery and hundreds of shells made the 116th Division very excited.
This **** is a cannon! In order to distribute these mortars, the heads of the three regiments in the division were almost arguing. And half of Zhou Qingfeng's thoughts were naturally lost, but he didn't have to fight, and secretly took away a mortar, two machine guns and the corresponding ammunition.
When Zhou Qingfeng pulled the weapon back overnight with a wooden cart, his company was alarmed. Looking at a 31-type 60mm mortar and fifty shells, the company commander stared and circled the wooden cart.
The instructor patted Zhou Qingfeng on the shoulder and said cheerfully: "Good boy, you can do it! The company commander and I were worried about where to get a gun, but you got the good thing quietly, including shells. "
God is sorry, the cannon is not much better, it was seized from the Guo party in the past. But the company commander was extremely satisfied after completing the circle, and strode up to Zhou Qingfeng and said, "You must have hidden something good, right?"
"Hehehe..., there is also a box of American grenades." Zhou Qingfeng played dumb.
"I don't want the grenade anymore, this cannon is handed over." The company commander waved his hand and took away the best equipment. That posture is as sharp as beating a local tyrant.
When Zhou Qingfeng returned to his platoon, the platoon leader and deputy platoon leader stared at him with dark faces. He hurriedly shouted: "It's agreed, get two machine guns and give me one."
The platoon leader's black face immediately turned from anger to joy, and he grabbed Zhou Qingfeng's arm with a grin and shouted: "I knew that you Zhou Qing had a lot of tricks, but you still hide your hands. Quickly, quickly, take out the machine gun. I Wanting a machine gun is almost crazy."
One m1917a1 water-cooled heavy machine gun, one m1919a6 air-cooled light machine gun, and the most wonderful thing is that it comes with several ammunition boxes, with a total of more than 2,000 bullets. In addition to the box of grenades left behind, the whole row was dazzled and giggled all the time.
The sons and daughters of China are so ambitious, they don't like red clothes, they love armed forces! 8
