Everyone witnessed this thrilling aerial ambush in the air at the anti-aircraft shelter located halfway up the mountain.

Although the entire battle lasted less than half a minute, it took less than twenty seconds to shoot. However, it made Commander Nie and Yang Chengwu excited.

The Japanese aircraft that the Eighth Route Army had no choice but to be so vulnerable in front of the Independent Regiment. In such a short time, the three bombers were gone.

If it weren't for witnessing the normal battle with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it even if the Independent Group reported such a result.

Commander Nie was the first to react from the shock, then turned his head and ordered Cheng Xiao.

"Commissar Cheng, contact Wang Ping immediately. The troops that participated in the battle just now should not retreat. I want to see them and see how our heroes shot down the Japanese plane. I want to learn from them and then ask them for me personally!"

Not long after, Commander Nie saw the air defense company and more than a dozen machine gunners who were temporarily drawn.

Just one glance, the nine modified anti-aircraft machine guns were targeted by Commander Nie, and he realized that the reason why the Independent Regiment was able to shoot down three aircraft was that these modified heavy machine guns must have played a big role.

But in front of nearly two hundred soldiers, Commander Nie suppressed his inner doubts. After saying several minutes of encouragement to the troops, he walked to the heavy machine gun with a high-pod and asked Wang Ping.

"Captain Wang, if I guess correctly, these heavy machine guns should be modified by you!"

Wang Ping didn't say anything, Cheng Xiao next to him could only answer: "Chang Yingming, it was all modified by our regiment commander, and the air defense company was also established by the regiment commander!"

Yang Chengwu next to him frowned and asked, "No, according to the equipment and organization reported by your independent regiment, the entire independent regiment and local troops only have twenty-one heavy machine guns. Why did nine more suddenly come out? Did you change the regiment's direct heavy machine gun company to an air defense company?"

"Commander, I'll explain this!" Cheng Xiao continued to answer.

"The heavy machine gun company has not changed, and it is still nine Type 92 heavy machine guns. As for the nine heavy machine guns in the air defense company, it is considered an unexpected surprise brought to us by the regiment commander!"

"An unexpected joy? What do you say?" Yang Chengwu stared at Cheng Xiao and asked back.

Commander Nie looked at Wang Ping with a deep expression, then turned his head to look at Cheng Xiao, waiting for the following text.

Cheng Xiao immediately replied: "The last time the Japanese army attacked our Independent Regiment, because we dispatched aircraft and a large number of artillery units, many of our equipment and the Japanese were smashed, including more than a dozen heavy machine guns, including ours and some of them. They were all brought back by us!"

"It is impossible to put so much equipment in the warehouse to rust, so the regiment commander ordered the logistics department to set up a repair shop. The regiment commander stayed in the repair shop and personally taught the soldiers to repair rifles, machine guns, and artillery. He stayed for ten days."

"I didn't expect that it was really successful in the end. More than a dozen scrapped heavy machine guns were actually repaired by the repair center."

"In order to make up for the lack of air defense firepower in the Japanese aircraft, the regiment commander asked the repair shop to build these high pods. A heavy machine gun can be used as an anti-aircraft machine gun if it is used as an anti-aircraft machine gun without changing the high pod to an ordinary tripod!"

"Even heavy machine guns are repaired, Wang Ping, tell me, what else do you know?" Yang Chengwu couldn't help but exclaim.

Then he stared at Cheng Xiao and asked, "Commissar Cheng, you just said that your machinery repair shop can also repair rifles, light machine guns, and artillery!"

Cheng Xiao saw at a glance that the commander wanted to attack his own machine repair center, and hesitated to answer: "Everyone will go back to practice. But there are too few people, and only a few people can do it, and the others can only take action!"

Yang Chengwu immediately heard what Cheng Xiao said: "I don't even want to poach people from the Independent Group Machinery Repair Center."

Wang Ping also heard the meaning of the two people's words, and suggested with a sudden inspiration: "Two leaders, I have a suggestion: You can send someone to the Independent Group Machinery Repair Center to learn how to repair weapons. As long as he has the foundation of a craftsman and has a certain level of culture, I promise to teach them three months!"

Yang Chengwu reacted immediately, frowned and asked, "No, why can the soldiers of the Independent Regiment learn in ten days, and why do the soldiers we sent take three months!"

Wang Ping quickly replied: "Long, I promise not to hide my own private life. What the people in the machinery repair shop now learn only the superficiality. They are still far from truly learning. They are still in the process of continuous learning and trying."

"That's about the same!" Yang Chengwu answered with a sigh of relief.

Then he ordered: "I will draw twenty soldiers after I go back."

Commander Nie, who had been shocked and did not speak, also decided: "The military region has also drawn thirty soldiers over. Commander Wang, you must teach them!"

"Please rest assured, please ensure there is no problem!" Wang Ping answered readily.

Then he continued to say to the two people: "Child, the military sub-district should also have a lot of scrapped weapons and equipment! Instead of putting it in the warehouse for a few months, it is better to send it to me directly. Not to mention that it is possible to replace three blown rifles with a new gun in our repair shop!"

Yang Chengwu's eyes shot out two rays of light directly, and then stared at Wang Ping and asked: "Jun Wuji, light and heavy machine guns, and artillery, can be calculated according to this ratio!"

"Everything is OK!" Wang Ping answered confidently.

At this time, not only Yang Chengwu was moved, but Commander Nie was moved too.

When fighting with the Japanese, because of their firepower advantages, Japanese often bombard the Japanese and artillery bombard the Japanese as soon as they come up.

In this case, the Eighth Route Army's casualties were not only large, but also the equipment loss was very serious.

Not to mention anything else, Yang Chengwu's first military sub-district alone stocked up a large number of weapons that were destroyed on the battlefield. If there were more than one, two thousand must be indispensable.

According to Wang Ping's ratio, it would be seven or eight hundred new guns, plus some light and heavy machine guns and artillery, which would be enough to form a regiment in one division.

Although there are not many scrap weapons stored in the military region, there are many of the other three military sub-districts, and there are definitely four or five thousand to build.

If all sent here, there would be at least 1,500 new guns.

As long as there are weapons, the military region will definitely be able to form two more regiments before the Japanese army's full encirclement and suppression begins. At that time, the military region will have more trump cards in the anti-encirclement and suppression operations, and the chances of defeating the Japanese will be greater!

The heart-wrenching Commander Nie immediately asked: "I'll collect you five thousand scrapped rifles, how many good guns can you fix and how long will it take."

"Long, is it very urgent?" Wang Ping asked tentatively.

"I'm very anxious. You'll know the reason in a while!" Commander Nie did not hide it.

Wang Ping immediately realized that something was happening in the military region. After hesitation, he answered decisively: "It takes one month to fix two thousand pieces. If two soldiers who have been transferred here for a long time can come over to help earlier, I can shorten the time to twenty days!"

"There is no joke in the army!" Commander Nie stared at Wang Ping and asked.

"It's only twenty days, starting from the gun to me, you can get five hundred guns in five days!" Wang Ping replied with a serious face.

"Okay, I'll telegram to the Chief of Staff immediately and start carrying guns here now!" Commander Nie was also very happy!
