Anti-Japanese War, weapons designer at Fengtian Arsenal

Chapter 138 There is a battle at Jiangqiao today

After all, they were skilled workers, so Li Qinwu still gave them a chance and let them find a way to go to Chongqing by themselves, and then he would hire them to work for them once they got there.

It is impossible for Li Qinwu to provide the best treatment to this group of people, and there is no resettlement allowance. Even if they go there, the treatment will be one level lower than the first wave of people who followed him. It's all because of this group of BYDs that they have cheated him.

Li Qinwu didn't want that little salary anymore, so he called Lao Huotou and went straight to the train station with the first wave of recruited workers. The Xiaoyi Arsenal was very dangerous now, and a workers' strike might very well develop into a fight. Moreover, there was something sinister about this matter, and he always felt that someone wanted to push things to extremes.

He remembered that Lao Huotou said that Director Huang was a businessman, and the matter of the New Year's Eve bonus was initiated by Director Huang. He guessed with the greatest malice that maybe Director Huang did not want to pay back the money and deliberately let the soldiers enter the factory in order to scare the workers by killing them.

But workers are the most important assets of the arsenal. Isn't this killing the goose that lays the golden eggs? And can Director Huang handle such a big thing?

Li Qinwu felt that he could afford it. With so much New Year's Eve money, the bulk of it would definitely go to the senior officials. Director Huang, he should be just a small pawn. He didn't need to care how serious the situation was. As long as he took good care of the interests of the senior officials, they would protect him.

However, Li Qinwu found a piece of information from the depths of his memory. The Xiaoyi Arsenal was mentioned in a military industry column before. It said that the factory leader wanted to curry favor with the workers' bonuses. The workers went on strike, but the factory still paid the workers as usual. The factory leader at that time was also fired. The time and place were right. It seemed that Director Huang's protection umbrella was not that strong. Or maybe Director Huang was not important enough, and people didn't want to use their connections to save him.

In any case, Li Qinwu left successfully and took away three things, one of which was an opinion letter on automobile production and manufacturing. Li Qinwu planned to let China's domestically produced cars shine in his own hands.

The other one was the contact information of Colin, an American mechanical engineer. Li Qinwu told the American at the time that if he wanted to leave his name in the history of China's self-produced automobiles, he should come to Chongqing to find him.

Colin was hesitant, but exchanged contact information anyway.

The third is Hu Xiaoming's family. Originally, Hu's father hoped that Li Qinwu would get out of here and stay away from his son, but the incident at the arsenal made him see the dark side of the senior management of the arsenal, especially when he heard that guns were fired. Hu's father immediately got furious. People like him who longed to be an official naturally knew the horror of officialdom.

Since Director Huang could do such a thing, it proves that this entire government-owned factory has been polluted. The political atmosphere here is too dangerous, and he must escape quickly.

Then someone might ask, the first thing your Hu family did when they arrived in Henan was to buy a house, and it seemed that they had no shortage of source of income. If you hate Li Qinwu so much, why did you follow Li Qinwu and travel thousands of kilometers to Chongqing?

Well, that's a good question. I can only say that when Hu Xiaoming hired a carriage and took the 1 yuan given by Li Qinwu back home, Hu's father stood in front of the white glittering silver and immediately shouted, "The thief Qin has made me tainted with the smell of money!" Then he sold the house he had just bought overnight and agreed that Hu Xiaoming could follow Li Qinwu to Chongqing.

Li Qinwu was not very fond of these two pedantic literati, so he did not buy them first-class train tickets. Instead, he let them go to the third-class carriage where poultry could be brought on board to experience the sufferings of the people.

Li Qinwu officially embarked on the journey to Chongqing, starting a new script of "Rebirth: I Run a Business in the Republic of China".

The camera temporarily comes to Nenjiang River.

Ever since the heavy artillery of the Japanese Second Division was seized by the Punitive Army, Lieutenant General Jiro Tamon has been in a state of anxiety. If the news of the loss of the heavy artillery spreads back to the country, his military career will be over.

He decided to fight for himself and ordered his troops to attack the enemy's heights under the cover of planes, tanks and artillery!

The first difficulty was to break through the 105-kilometer range of the Type 10 mm howitzer. Duomen Jiro had no good solution for this and could only let the soldiers march in dispersed directions.

This was a tough time for the Japanese soldiers, because the punitive army's artillery was extremely accurate. As soon as they came within range, the 105mm howitzers would open fire, and each shell could take away 4 to 6 people. This caused great casualties and psychological barriers to the Japanese attacking forces.

Jiro Domon also knew that the Punishment Army's artillery could fire accurately because there were secret sentries providing guidance. These rats hid in various places and reported the positions of his soldiers to the artillery.

It's not like he hadn't thought about sending out a small group of elite troops to engage in a scout battle with the enemy, but the problem is that they can't win. No matter how many good fighters he sent out, they never came out once they entered the forest. The enemy's elite troops were like damn ghosts, and no one could defeat them.

At one point, Jiro Tamon was almost driven crazy, and he actually sent soldiers into firing range several times to bomb the Punishment Army in an attempt to consume the enemy's artillery shells. The artillery was snatched from them, so it was clear how many artillery shells they had.

After all, the Type 105 105mm howitzer is an old cannon from World War I. It may be inaccurate when firing at the extreme range, but the 20mm shells are powerful and can still cause casualties even if the shells land meters away. The soldiers of the empire cannot afford to be wasted.

Jiro Tamon's staff suggested that instead of letting the imperial soldiers consume the enemy's artillery shells, it would be better to let the Chinese traitors go and let them fight each other.

Moreover, in order to prevent the enemy from discovering that the people being bombed were low-value traitors, they had to make them wear the clothes of the Yellow Army.

This tactic really worked. When the traitor wearing the devil's clothes entered the firing range, he was blown to pieces. This tactic successfully reduced the heavy artillery shells of the Punishment Army to less than 200 rounds, which was already a somewhat dangerous number. If they continued to fight, if the devil sent a few more heavy artillery, they would probably not be able to fight back effectively.

Li Weiguo ordered to stop the shelling and the 105mm howitzer entered standby mode. No attack was allowed unless enemy artillery of the same level appeared.

The Japanese successfully passed the first level and entered 6 kilometers in front of the Punishment Army’s position, setting up camp outside the range of the Type mountain artillery.

The Japs followed suit, trying to use the traitors to consume the punitive army's Type 41 mountain artillery shells. On the first day, many traitors were indeed killed by the artillery, but on the second day, the punitive army stopped firing.

Because Li Jianfeng, who was in charge of directing the artillery, found something wrong. Once he directed a shell into a group of Japanese devils. The shell exploded, knocking two people on the spot, and the rest of the people ran away at once. The movements were so smooth that Li Jianfeng became suspicious.

The two people who were blown up were not dead yet. They were lying on the ground with broken hands and feet, wailing and shouting for help.

When Li Jianfeng heard the guy shouting in Chinese, he shouted that he had been tricked and immediately stopped the shelling.

Li Jianfeng found a piece of board and wrote in Japanese on it: The Japanese are not heroes. They dare not attack my punitive army's position personally. Instead, they are just pretending to be weak and have no dignity. Since they are so cowardly, my punitive army will not use artillery. You dogs can charge at will. If you don't dare to charge, then go home and enjoy being served by your wife.
