Anti-Japanese War, weapons designer at Fengtian Arsenal

Some people may wonder why the Punishment Army needs General Cai’s consent before entering the war zone. Can’t they just enter by force?

Li Qinwu used to think so too, but after receiving the professional knowledge that Li Jun acquired in the military academy, he knew that communication and cooperation between the two armies were very important.

The word "dispatch" sounds like just two words, but it is quite difficult to achieve dispatch and coordination in the real battlefield, especially the dispatch of two armies that have never cooperated before. The reality is not like a game. The enemy is marked red on the map and our own people are marked green. The purpose of their Punishment Army entering Shanghai is to fight the Japanese. They cannot do so without the consent of the 19th Route Army, otherwise it will easily disrupt their arrangements and cause harm.

After finishing a cigarette, Li Liangwei said, "Let's go to the battlefield to collect the car."

Li Qinwu nodded to him, threw away his cigarette butt, and got up to check on the sick and injured tent.

These wounded soldiers who were pulled back by the owner of Longlong Convenience Store would first be pulled into the island space, and then sent out after redemption, and lie in the tent outside.

Redemption brings people back from near death, the human body will relax extremely, the wounded will fall into a coma, and these people will be transferred to tents outside the warehouse to rest.

At this time, several wounded soldiers sat together eating the meals provided to them by Longlong Store. The meals in Longlong Store were very oily and included delicious dishes like scrambled eggs with tomatoes. The soldiers ate so much that they forgot everything else and didn't even care how they survived.

Li Qinwu was waiting for a few soldiers to finish their meal in the distance, then walked over with a smile.

"Brothers, is the food in our field hospital okay?"

When several wounded soldiers saw Li Qinwu, they stood up immediately. He was wearing a neat suit, and several soldiers thought he was the leader here.

Li Qinwu went up to them one by one, handed them cigarettes, lit them, and then pulled them to sit down.

"Brothers, I heard that you guys are from the submachine gun squad? I just want to ask, what are your thoughts on using this gun? Tell us the good and the bad, so that we can have a direction for improvement."

That's right, Li Qinwu came to make a return visit. With such a large number of Sten submachine guns entering the battlefield, many advantages and disadvantages must have been tested out. He wanted to investigate it carefully and make improvements.

The soldiers had a good meal, and Li Qinwu even lit cigarettes for them, so they didn't feel restrained.

An old soldier thought carefully and said, "This gun is good. It's very light and doesn't get in the way. It has little power and is easy to control. But the safety button is not good. It's too troublesome. If it's not on, it will go off accidentally. If it's on, the enemy won't be able to react."

Li Qinwu had an embarrassed look on his face. Now that he thought about it, it was a bit stupid to use a circle hook as a safety. Now that the ceramic steel barrel had been confirmed to be feasible and the cost had been lowered again, he no longer needed the money. He planned to go back and design a proper safety system for the Sten submachine gun.

Oh, by the way, Li Qinwu called the Sten submachine gun the "Sweeper". The 19th Route Army, which was the first batch of this gun equipped in large quantities, used it to fight street battles, so it deserves the name.

Li Qinwu took out a small notebook and started recording everything.

"Any more?"

Another veteran went on to say: "The gap in this gun is too big, and it is too easy for stones to enter. I was hit by a Japanese artillery shell on the street before, but I was fine. Small sand and stones were blown up and flew into the gap.

I didn't realize it, and when I used this gun to rob the enemy's building, it jammed and I was shot by the enemy. Damn it! I almost died. If it weren't for Taoist Li, I would have died. May you be blessed with infinite happiness. "

Several people said "May you be blessed with infinite happiness" with sincere gratitude in their eyes. They already knew that it was Taoist Master Li Tiandi who saved them.

Li Qinwu said in his heart that he felt guilty. The Sten submachine gun was like this. There were too many gaps. The recoil spring could be seen from the outside, and it was easy for debris to enter. He had to modify it when he returned.

Li Qinwu chatted with several soldiers for a long time and found several ways to improve the submachine guns. It was not until late at night that several old soldiers dressed up and prepared to return to the battlefield.

"Be careful this time and don't come over here again."

Li Qinwu had a complicated expression. Several veteran soldiers had died once, and now that they had recovered, they took the initiative to ask to go to the battlefield.

An old soldier gestured to Li Qinwu with the Sweeper submachine gun in his hand.

"I've opened this thing and wiped it, so it shouldn't be diarrhea anymore. Damn it! This time I can definitely get down from the devil's building!"

Several soldiers walked away quickly, their target heading towards the city area where the rumbling sound of artillery could be heard.

Li Qinwu didn't know whether they would be shot again this time, and whether they could hold on until he got there even if they were shot. He only knew that if he didn't get General Cai's permission to enter the battlefield before dawn tomorrow, he would choose to open up a battlefield behind the Japanese.

After watching several veterans disappear into the night, Li Qinwu was about to go back. Suddenly, he saw a bulldozer approaching quickly from a distance, and then it stopped again.

This is a bulldozer used to pull a paralyzed tank, but there is nothing behind it.

The forklift quickly stopped next to Li Qinwu. Li Liangwei pushed open the door of the cab, waved a map and shouted, "General Cai has agreed to allow the Punishment Army to enter! This is our entry route and defense zone map!"
