After the request for assistance was conveyed to the headquarters of the 276th Regiment in the rear, permission was quickly obtained.
All the wounded were evacuated.
At the same time, the heavy machine gun company of the 1st Battalion of the 276th Regiment, as well as some ammunition, sandbags and other supplies were sent up.
In the trench, Zhang Wei and others were distributing and counting the things delivered to the position.
In addition to a heavy machine gun company, there were also a batch of sandbags filled with soil and empty sandbags, a large amount of dry food, and a batch of bullets and grenades.
The three battalions in the position divided the items equally, and distributed the ammunition to each.
In the hands of the soldiers, the heavy machine gun company that was pulled up was also assigned a heavy machine gun platoon to each battalion, which could just be deployed in the trench.
After discussion between Zhang Wei and the two battalion commanders, they finally decided to further strengthen the fortifications, use the sandbags sent to strengthen the fortifications, and build a certain number of anti-gun holes, so the position became busy again.
Just use tamped sand to cover the bulletproof.
Now that we have sandbags, we no longer need to use this sand that is not very useful for bulletproof.
The soldiers fill the empty sandbags with sand and then pile the sandbags outside the position to further enhance their bulletproof capabilities. .
And further built anti-blast hole fortifications in the trenches, widened and deepened the trenches.
The soldiers of each battalion worked as a company and took turns.
Everyone had the opportunity to rest and eat solid food.
The preparation battalion was the most efficient among the three battalions.
In a short time, sandbags and anti-blast holes were piled up.
The excavation is almost the same.
The 1st and 2nd Battalions of the 276th Regiment were far behind.
Filling sandbags was fine, but it was just physical work.
Digging holes for artillery defense was more laborious.
This was because there were so many recruits in the army, and their individual workmanship tools were not as good as prepared.
There are many soldiers in the battalion.
In order to assist the friendly forces, Zhang Wei dispatched some officers and soldiers of the first company to help the friendly forces construct construction, which was able to speed up their construction progress.
After the entire preparation battalion completed the work, the soldiers returned to a state of rest.
Zhang Wei did not order them Be on guard.
The soldiers had just rested for a while, and then came new work.
In the center of the preparation camp position, the reinforced heavy machine gun platoon was building fortifications on the position.
Qiu Wei and several people were helping.
"Batalion Commander, here we come."
Qiu Wei greeted, kicked a sandbag with his feet, and pressed it with his hand.
Zhang Wei walked to Qiu Wei and helped him carry the heavy sandbag over to do the fortifications.
When, the filling cannot be completed Whole sandbags are substandard products.
Once shrapnel and bullets are hit, they may not be able to hold it, and they will be directly penetrated by the shrapnel, and then kill the soldiers in the trench.
When constructing heavy machine gun positions, you should be more careful than ordinary positions.
"Two guns are coming."
"Yes, a platoon.
The platoon leader is leading people to work."
Qiu Wei pointed to the side and saw a second lieutenant carrying a shell gun who was leading people to build fortifications.
In the trench were two unassembled heavy tanks.
The gun body and gun frame of the machine gun and heavy machine gun are separated.
The gun frame is placed in the trench, the gun body is against the outer wall of the trench, and the muzzle and water inlet are blocked with protective sleeves.
There is a green waterproof canvas under the gun body, and ammunition boxes, cooling water buckets and tool boxes are also placed around the heavy machine gun frame.
There are also a few soldiers looking after the spare water tanks.
The water tanks containing cooling water are all small gasoline drums.
"Hello, sir."

The heavy machine gun platoon leader put down his work and turned around.
"How about it?
You guys are almost done with the fortifications of these two guns."
"Yes, two machine gun positions have been dug."
"Dig or not to dig a prepared position?"
As soon as Zhang Wei finished speaking, the second lieutenant platoon leader hesitated for a moment and then replied in a low voice: "Sir, this Commander Qiu helped us build a preliminary position."
Qiu Wei nodded, and Zhang Wei thought to himself: This platoon probably did not pay attention to the preparatory fortifications.
Qiu Wei filled the loopholes and took a look at the basically completed heavy machine gun position.
It was well constructed, the sandbags were solidly filled, and the machine guns were still intact.
It was placed under the trench, not pulled up.
Soldiers from several machine gun platoons were assembling machine guns.
Several people worked together to install the heavy machine gun body on the gun frame and open the ammunition inlet, gun mask and water outlet.
Walan's heavy machine gun body and machine gun frame with no signs of wear and cooling tubes showed that these two guns were new products that had not been used for long.
The body of the heavy machine gun was engraved with a series of foreign codes.
Except for the two Arabic numerals "79", Zhang Wei could not understand the rest of the letters.
"This gun is still a foreign product.
It's of good quality.
Qiu Wei.
It's much better than those old heavy machine guns in our camp."
Qiu Wei also couldn't understand: "The gun is a good gun.
The old Maozi guns we plan to use are rough and durable, but the quality and workmanship are not good.
The characters on this heavy machine gun are not in English, so I can't understand them." " "Sir, these guns are made in Belgium.
They are all newly replenished guns."
The heavy machine gun platoon leader answered.
"I see."
These heavy machine guns of the 276th Regiment were newly replenished.
After the war began, the troops suffered heavy losses.
Although the government was able to manufacture infantry weapons and equipment on its own, major arsenals, such as Jinling Arsenal, Gongxian Arsenal, and Guangdong Arsenal, were in the process of being transferred, and Production capacity is insufficient.
Take rifles as an example.
The output of advanced Zhongzheng rifles is not large.
The rifle with the largest output is still the modified New Hanyang.
Zhongzheng rifles can only be supplied to some elite troops in limited quantities.
The vast majority of troops can only go to the battlefield with "Han-style" rifles.
However, the modified Hanyang-made rifle is still good, and it is still a very useful gun on the battlefield.
Even if the Zhongzheng gun is made in Hanyang, it is not enough to completely replace the battle losses.
If you want to make up for the shortfall as much as possible, you can only seek external sources of weapons.
Part of the external sources of weapons depends on transactions with an aid nature, such as Su Before the war, weapons were mainly imported from Germany.
After the war, Germany stopped exporting weapons to China for various reasons.
At this time, various small countries in Europe were enjoying their benefits, and the Czech Republic exported a lot of weapons.
The quality and performance were basically passable, but the price, hum, anyway, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer.
In short, the principle of government outsourcing is one sentence: if it can be sold, I will buy it, and if it can be used, I will use it.
Light machine guns from Finland and Switzerland, rifles from Belgium and the Czech Republic, and bullets made in various countries can be said to be truly universal.
Fortunately, the calibers of imported rifles are fairly uniform, and they basically all shoot at seven.
The nine-caliber rifle machine gun with pointed bullets is in line with the mainstream caliber of Chinese military equipment and can be maintained in terms of logistical supply.
The two Belgian heavy machine guns in front of Zhang Wei were the result of emergency procurement in Europe.

In shape, they were ordinary water-cooled Maxin heavy machine guns.
They were almost the same as the domestically produced Type 2 and 4 guns, but they were more sophisticated in workmanship.
I learned from the platoon leader that the 46th Division is equipped with domestically produced Type 24 heavy machine guns, German Maxin heavy machine guns and imported Belgian heavy machine guns.
The models are different, but the shape and caliber are basically the same.
This is also the case in China today.
A microcosm of military weapons and equipment.
This is the tragedy of a weak country in the face of aggression
