Chapter 273 Air Defense Company

It was ten days later that Wang Ping left the Logistics Department.

In ten days, Wang Ping almost spent the newly established machinery repair center.

The results were remarkable. More than a dozen soldiers who had worked as blacksmiths and carpenters. Under his hands-on guidance, three people learned to disassemble and assemble rifles, two people learned to disassemble armed light machine guns, one learned to repair heavy machine guns, and the other learned to repair artillery.

More importantly, during the teaching of students for a few days, three heavy machine guns were successfully repaired.

Because the heavy machine guns equipped by the troops were already intact, facing the three additional heavy machine guns, Wang Ping had a sudden idea and directly thought of the anti-aircraft machine guns that even the Japanese were rarely equipped.

In the battle that had just ended, nearly two thousand soldiers were sacrificed. Of these losses, at least half were caused by Japanese aircraft.

The bullying independent regiment was not equipped with air defense weapons, and the Japanese bombers flew almost closely to the battlefield. The flight altitude was low, the bomb hit rate was high, and the losses of the troops increased greatly.

If the Independent Regiment had weapons that could shoot at the air at that time, even if the Japanese bombers could not be shot from the sky, the dense anti-aircraft fire could force Japanese bombers to stay away from the ground and dare not drop bombs at low altitude.

In this way, the hit rate of the blow-off will be reduced, and the losses caused to the troops due to air strikes on the battlefield will also be reduced a lot.

"Make a high-triped for heavy machine guns so that it can shoot in the air. In this way, the independent regiment will not have no strength to fight back when facing the Japanese bombers in the future, and can only be passively beaten!" A very bold idea immediately emerged from Wang Ping's mind.

There is no shortage of carpenters or craftsmen in the machinery repair shop. In a few days, a high tripod was completed.

Although the main body of the high tripod is made of wooden structure and only some of the positions are reinforced with iron wrapping. However, after testing, the heavy machine gun rack was fired in the air, and there was no problem at all.

So, Wang Ping directly issued the first order to the repair shop before leaving.

"Director Jiang, I will give you a month to repair all the scrap heavy machine guns in the warehouse and make the same number of high tripods. After completion, it will be sent to the regiment headquarters. I want to set up an air defense company!"

He also read the process of making Jiang Hongchun's high tripod. It was not difficult. As long as someone was in charge, it was very easy to complete the task. So, he was very confident and gave Wang Ping a positive answer.

After finishing, he did not forget to report: "Team leader, the egg production of the chicken farm yesterday exceeded 600, and the indicators you set for the chicken farm will definitely be completed."

"In addition, I have contacted some merchants in Laiyuan City. They are very interested in the eggs in our hands and say they will collect as much as they have."

"In addition, they are also very interested in the chickens we have! The price is also very high!"

"I asked someone to check it out. Some of them were for the Japanese, some were for the Jinsui Army and the Central Army. They must have all kinds of supplies we need. I plan to contact them and start giving them eggs next month!"

"Due to the war, the people rarely raise livestock, especially in the Japanese occupied areas, which they can't buy even if they want. Whether it is the Japanese or the rich Jinsui Army and the Central Army, they are very eager for eggs and live chickens, and they want as much as they have."

Wang Ping once again looked at Jiang Hongchun with admiration.

He was shocked and immediately replied: "When meeting the needs of the troops, whether it is eggs or live chickens, you can sell them!"

"The same is true for laying eggs. As long as the egg laying rate is slow, you can sell it!"

"However, I have a requirement that all the cadres and soldiers of the regiment must eat an egg every two days, eat meat every three days, and have to average two taels of chicken!"

"In addition, if possible, the Logistics Department can also build pig farms and sheep farms, which are built in the forest. The scale does not need to be too large. First meet the needs of the troops and then expand the scale to export them to make money for the troops!"

Wang Ping looked at Jiang Hongchun with admiration, and Jiang Hongchun was also full of shock and admiration for Wang Ping.

Wang Ping just said that he recorded it almost without missing a word, and then said to Wang Ping.

"Captain, then do you want these three modified heavy machine guns? I will send someone to the regiment headquarters now!"

Wang Ping replied without thinking: "Of course I sent it over. With these three heavy machine guns, the air defense company can be established first and then trained."

"Our principle is that people wait for guns, and there must be no situation where guns wait for people!"

The Independent Regiment Headquarters, Cheng Xiao, who was greeting Wang Ping at the command center, saw the equipment Wang Ping brought back from the logistics department, and directly showed an expression of incomprehension.

"Captain? This is a heavy machine gun, how could it have such a high tripod? Are you planning to put the heavy machine gun directly into the trenches and let the machine gunners stand and shoot!"

Wang Ping replied mysteriously: "This is not a fighter of the Japanese. I specially made it, a fighter of the Japanese plane!"

Cheng Xiao asked directly with a disbelief expression: "Airplane, commander, are you kidding? Heavy machine guns can hit planes!"

Wang Ping did not speak and directly ordered the soldiers carrying heavy machine guns behind him to arm the machine guns.

Soon, a heavy machine gun that was one-person tall appeared at the entrance of the regiment department.

Without saying a word, Wang Ping walked directly to the heavy machine gun and gently pressed the heavy machine gun down. The black muzzle was aimed at the sky and could rotate at a large angle!

After making some demonstration, he explained to Cheng Xiao: "The effective range of the Type 92 heavy machine gun is 1,000 meters, and the effective range of the air is 800 meters."

"At a distance of five hundred meters, heavy machine gun bullets can penetrate even an eight-mm thick steel plate, not to mention the Japanese's iron-clad aircraft!"

"At that time, more than a dozen of these machine guns were focused on the Japanese plane to shoot. Even if the dense bullets cannot be shot, they can be knocked into a hornet's nest. At that time, whether the plane can fly back depends on whether he is lucky!"

"These three machine guns were assembled with heavy machine guns scrapped in the warehouse. There should be many scrapped heavy machine guns left. I plan to install high-legs on them and use these machine guns to form an air defense company. At the critical moment, I will give the Japanese plane a big surprise."

"Even if the air defense company cannot defeat a Japanese aircraft on the battlefield, and there is an air defense company, the Japanese aircraft will not dare to carry out low-altitude bombing when they come to bomb us again. In this way, the casualties that the Japanese aircraft can bring to us will be much smaller."

"It's really possible!" Cheng Xiao immediately thought of the big battle that had just ended.

In that battle, in order to increase the bomb hit rate, the Japanese planes almost flew and bombed on everyone's heads.

At an altitude of less than 100 meters, if more than a dozen such machine guns were fired at the air, it would be possible to kill the Japanese bomber.

"Captain, I agree to establish an air defense company!" Cheng Xiao replied immediately after some thought.

Wang Ping did not hesitate and directly ordered the Chief of Staff Zeng Quan: "Chief of Staff, you are responsible. The air defense company has temporarily organized 150 people. You will decide the company commander and the instructor and political commissar. Three days later, an air defense company will be established and will be stationed around the regiment headquarters for training, which can also protect the safety of the regiment headquarters!"
