Chapter 139 Exchange of heavy machine guns

But while Liu Xiu was talking, he suddenly remembered something, that is, there were not many Type 24 heavy machine guns in the arsenal, that is, imitation Maxim machine guns.

So I just took this opportunity to ask if these three regiments had such machine guns. After all, these three regiments had captured a lot of equipment of the Japanese Army! In fact, Liu Xiu had planned to take the time to ask, but he didn't forget to do it because he was busy. Now the three regiment leaders happened to be here, and they were not far from the arsenal, so it was easy to exchange equipment!

However, Liu Xiu was not as careless as Li Yunlong, and asked people to help him in a roundabout way. After all, in Liu Xiu's view, this was just trying to be clever and boring, and he was not stupid. The main reason why Li Yunlong was successful just now was because of all the people. We are in the same camp, and we are all old comrades in arms, so I don't care. If Chu Yunfei were to take a look, he might turn around and give you the benefit of the doubt.

Therefore, Liu Xiu immediately said bluntly:

"By the way, the three captains have something to discuss with you. Please help me!"

Although Liu Xiu and Ding Wei are not very familiar with each other, Liu Xiu's new third regiment is about to become an air force. Maybe they will have to find someone for air support in the future!

So Kong Jie was the first to speak:

"What's the trouble! As long as it can be done, there will be no ambiguity!"

The remaining Li Yunlong and Kong Jie also immediately came closer and said that there was no problem. Seeing this, Liu Xiu said:

Following Liu Xiu's words, Ding Wei, Kong Jie and Li Yunlong all nodded in realization. After all, they also understood that it seemed a bit unrealistic for the fighter pilot to change the magazine and fly the plane at the same time.

"It's not that difficult. I just want to exchange heavy machine guns with your regiment. If your regiment has Type 24 Maxim heavy machine guns, I'm willing to get two Type 92 heavy machine guns or three Kuaibo light machine guns for each one." Come and change!”

Ding Wei, who was the first to speak at this time, said with some confusion when he heard Liu Xiu's words:

"Why do you want to replace this old antique? The Type 92 heavy machine gun and the crutch machine gun are not bad! Especially when the water here freezes in winter, the water cooling of the old antique cannot be used at all!"

Regarding Ding Wei’s words, Liu Xiuze explained:

"I'm using this for airplanes. Both the Type 92 and the crutch have 30-round magazines, so it's very troublesome to change the ammunition. The canvas belt of the Type 24 Maxim not only has more bullets but can also be connected to each other. Therefore, the firepower is very sustainable, and the aircraft is flying at high speed in the air, so there is no need to worry about the heat dissipation of the machine gun!”

After Ding Wei finished speaking, Kong Jie also said:

"Just do as Ding Wei said. I will send you my new second regiment and fifteen more!"

Li Yunlong's words also made Liu Xiu widen his eyes. He didn't expect Li Yunlong to be so generous. However, Li Yunlong's feelings were tolerated by Liu Xiu, so he immediately smiled and said:

"Thank you so much, Commander! Don't worry, if you ask for air support in the future, I, Liu Xiu, will personally lead the team!"

"I really don't have many new regiments of these 24-style Maxims, so I only need twenty of them! I can send them all to you, but you don't need to exchange the two 92-style ones for one, just exchange them for one! As for the Just exchange two light machine guns for one!"

Ding Wei was the first to speak after Liu Xiu finished speaking:

Li Yunlong, who spoke last, said:

"After all, you Liu Xiu came out of my independent group. The independent group is your natal family after all, so I gave all the twenty-five, twenty-four, and four-type Maxims of my independent group to you. I don't want you to exchange them for anything!" "

So the drinking party ended like this. Li Yunlong achieved his goal, and Liu Xiu also achieved his goal. As for Kong Jie and Ding Wei, they helped.

Liu Xiu had no intention of spending the night in the Independent Regiment, so he rode back to the airport on the side of the arsenal dozens of kilometers away on the same day.

Regarding the acquisition of sixty Type 24 Maxim machine guns, Liu Xiu naturally told Qin as soon as possible. In fact, it was really difficult to get this Maxim machine gun. After all, all the teams in the Eighth Route Army were equipped with firearms and ammunition. Shortage. This is especially true for things like heavy machine guns, so it would be fatal to let each team get a few machine guns for free.

You must know that the regiments like Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, and Ding Wei are relatively wealthy. If it were replaced by an ordinary regiment, it is estimated that one battalion can be equipped with a heavy machine gun, which is enough.

And now sixty light machine guns are enough for the time being.

Of course, Liu Xiu's New Third Regiment couldn't bring them 60 Type 92 heavy machine guns to exchange with them, but fortunately, Liu Xiu's New Third Regiment still had a lot of light machine guns, although only two of them could be exchanged. A heavy machine gun seems to be at a disadvantage, but there is nothing that can be done about it.

What's more, Liu Xiu's New Third Regiment is about to become an air force, so keeping these heavy and light machine guns is of little use!

In Liu Xiu's plan, the three thousand people in the New Third Regiment will basically be divided into two parts. One part is naturally the pilot of the aircraft, responsible for driving the aircraft, and the other part is naturally the ground crew, responsible for the maintenance and peacekeeping of the aircraft. Such as repairing aircraft and so on.

Isn't it true that now there are many soldiers who are interested in carpentry and have been arranged by Liu Xiu to be responsible for manufacturing aircraft in the aircraft manufacturing factory!

Although there was no war anymore, the time for production and training passed quickly. Soon it was snowing again, and winter came.

The only news that came during this period was that Chu Yunfei's two battalions stationed in Dagu Town had withdrawn.

As for how Liu Xiu knew, he naturally told Liu Xiu when he sent the Maxim machine gun, and the person responsible for escorting the Maxim machine gun was Liu Xiu's old acquaintance Zhang Dabiao.

Of course, there is also good news in addition to this, that is, Liu Xiu's father, Liu Qin, who studied abroad, has improved the two-stroke engine of the aircraft.

Add a turbocharger to this two-stroke engine!

Yes, Liu Qin successfully cast the turbine blades of the turbocharger using the universal mold-killing casting method.

With this turbocharger, the overall weight of the engine has not increased much, but its power has been increased by 50%.

So after the engine kilometers increased by 50%, Liu Xiu naturally took on the task of testing the engine again.

With the roar of the engine, Liu Xiu directly lifted the plane to an altitude of more than 5,000 meters. Of course, if Liu Xiu didn't feel out of breath, he could actually continue to climb.

Therefore, if you want to fly high in the future, you must equip pilots with compressed air and pressurized suits. Otherwise, it is easy to cause hypoxia and hypotension to pilots at an altitude of 10,000 meters.

However, Liu Xiu still had an accident when testing the maximum speed, and this accident was that the wooden plane exploded again.

In other words, it disintegrated in the air. When Liu Xiu pulled the accelerator to increase the speed of the aircraft to 690 kilometers per hour, just shy of catching up with the speed of the Mustang fighter, the wooden aircraft finally disintegrated in the air under the heavy load. .
