Anti-Japanese War, weapons designer at Fengtian Arsenal

The reporters were very happy to watch the artillery fire. Li Weiguo asked the soldiers to take the reporters to the riverside to take pictures of the Japanese corpses, while he himself went to meet Ma Zhanshan, who had met Jiang.

Ma Zhanshan learned that the Punitive Army had taken action again last night and won a great victory, so he came to do business again. The Punitive Army must have seized a lot of spoils. This time he brought 5 horse-drawn carriages, which contained not only the 15 oceans promised to Li Weiguo last time, but also the 10 oceans he brought to buy guns.

The Nationalist government had a somewhat negative attitude towards the Punitive Army. Ma Zhanshan did not want reporters to take pictures of their transaction, so Li Weiguo had to send the reporters away in advance.

Ma Zhanshan climbed up to the high ground, and the two men held hands tightly. Ma Zhanshan's eyes were fixed on the four 4mm guns and could not move away.

"Hey, Brother Li, you've won another victory. I really admire you. The Japanese must be in trouble when they meet Brother Li."

Li Weiguo said he was not worthy of it, but Ma Zhanshan did not hesitate and pointed to the four carriages behind him.

"Brother Li, I have brought you the 15 yuan I promised you last time. In addition to this 15 yuan, I also brought you an extra 10 yuan just to buy the extra guns you have. Look at how many you have, I will take as many as you have!"

After the battle last night, Li Weiguo actually had a batch of extra weapons on hand, mainly from the Japanese soldiers who were annihilated on the riverside and the 1500 Japanese who chased them at night. A total of 1500 rifles, 800 broken guns, 22 Taisho Type 280 heavy machine guns, 6 Type light machine guns, and an unexpected capture, sniper guns.

The Taisho 37-year type 90mm flat-fire sniper gun, including the gun mount, weighs 1 kilograms in total, has a range of about 1km, and can fire high-explosive shells and armor-piercing shells. It is a highly concealed, very lightweight direct-fire small-caliber artillery. It is said that the prototype of this thing is the AA barrel used by AA people in Battlefield .

Li Jianfeng asked for this thing. It weighs 90kg and can be maneuvered by two special forces members carrying it, or can be used for long-distance raids by four carrying it. The 4mm cannon is enough to bombard the enemy machine gun positions or attack tanks and armored vehicles.

However, Li Jianfeng complained that this thing was still too heavy and did not quite fit in with the special forces' concept of rapid assault operations. Before Li Qinwu developed a better anti-armor weapon, the special forces could only use these six AA barrels as a transition.

Li Weiguo reported the seized weapons to Ma Zhanshan. Ma Zhanshan wanted to buy light and heavy machine guns at the price agreed upon last time, but Li Jianfeng had other ideas.

"Brother Ma, do you have any Liao-made Maxims in your army? If so, how about we exchange them?"

Ma Zhanshan had an idea.

"I wonder what Brother Li has to say?"

"Brother Ma, I won't hide it from you. After a few battles, the barrels of the heavy machine guns I have are almost worn out, and the ammunition is also running out. But my brothers in the army are used to these large-caliber heavy machine guns, and they are not familiar with the Japanese heavy machine guns at all.

Brother Ma, how about I exchange three Taisho 30-year-old heavy machine guns for one Liao-made Mark Qing? For the Type rifle, I will exchange for one.

This proposal made Ma Zhanshan think carefully. As mentioned before, if the friendly relationship between the two sides is to last, both sides need to respect each other and safeguard their own and each other's interests. Ma Zhanshan was thinking whether it was worth doing so?

After a while, Ma Zhanshan came to his mind and thought, it’s worth it!

At this time, Ma Zhanshan was expanding his army. Because he stood up to resist the Japanese invaders, he gained great fame in the country. Many aspiring young people from the Northeast came to him and chose to join his army.

The Liao-made Maxim is a precious heavy weapon. Its 12.7mm caliber ammunition can destroy the enemy's lightly armored targets within 500 meters. In contrast, the Taisho Type 6.5 heavy machine gun fires 10mm ammunition, which poses a very limited threat to lightly armored targets.

But the opponent is offering 3 for 30 and for . With so many light and heavy machine guns, he can add a large amount of heavy firepower to the expanded troops. This exchange is not a loss!

And it increases the combat effectiveness of the Punishment Army. How many devils can they kill? How much pressure can they relieve? So this deal must be done.

Ma Zhanshan agreed to the exchange and even rounded it to an integer, sending the Punitive Army 20 Liao-made Maxim guns. Each heavy machine gun was equipped with three spare barrels and 8000 rounds of ammunition. This greatly supplemented the firepower of the Punishment Army's heavy machine guns, enough to give a heavy blow to the Japanese who came to attack the position.

In order to thank Ma Zhanshan for the heavy machine guns he gave him, Li Weiguo gave him the captured Type 600 carbines, a total of more than .

The Type 600 carbine is a shortened version of the Type rifle, and is generally used by cavalrymen, Japanese logistics personnel, and vehicle crew members. There are many cavalrymen in Ma Zhanshan's army, and these or so Type carbines are just right for him.

After that, the two chatted for a long time about the current international situation, the weaknesses of the Japanese, the suffering of the people in the north due to the war, etc.

Finally, Ma Zhanshan asked Li Jianfeng if he needed anything else. Li Jianfeng said that they were not enough mortar shells. Ma Zhanshan immediately asked someone to deliver 2000 mortar shells to him. They were all weapons of the Northeast Army and were universal.

Li Jianfeng accepted the two thousand shells with a smile, and the stock of mortar shells returned to above the safety line.

When the two were about to part, Ma Zhanshan looked at the four heavy artillery pieces firing on the high ground and said, "Brother Li, you drove the Japanese away with your heavy artillery pieces. It won't be long before the Japanese will send out their air force."

This reminded Li Weiguo. He remembered that in the original time and space, Ma Zhanshan fought against the Japanese very well, but the Japanese sent out bombers to bomb Ma Zhanshan's grain storage area in the rear, cutting off the food supply for the large army. This led to the ultimate failure of Ma Zhanshan's Jiangqiao Anti-Japanese War.

"It seems we have to prepare to deal with the Japanese planes."

Looking at Ma Zhanshan's departing back, Li Weiguo murmured to himself.
