Anti-Japanese War, weapons designer at Fengtian Arsenal

Li Weiguo soon received the 19th Route Army's signal for help, and was informed that a large Japanese force had occupied the telegraph office and that the telegraph office was a British asset.

As soon as Li Weiguo heard it, he knew the concerns of the 19th Route Army. He just wanted to say that the 19th Route Army had found the right person.

He immediately used mind-sharing to give an order to the big machine master on the front line: "The 19th Route Army's defense line is open, go and get rid of the devils hiding in the telegraph office! In addition, the telegraph office is a British asset, clean it up."

The big machine tyrant laughed loudly, gathered all the tanks together, and drove towards the 19th Route Army's defense zone with the engines blasting. In addition, he also called for a special armored vehicle to follow.

As soon as this red armored force entered the 19th Route Army's defense zone, it immediately caused an uproar. The soldiers of the 19th Route Army made way one after another, with shock in their eyes.

The convoy of the Big Machine had a smooth journey. The soldiers of the 19th Route Army had already received orders from their superiors to remove the roadblocks and guide them to their destination.

Soon, 8 modified Renault tanks and 7 modified Type 89 tanks arrived at the telegraph office occupied by the Japanese.

The quality of the house built by the British was indeed quite good. It had four floors and very thick walls. The Japanese turned every window into a shooting hole, so the soldiers of the 4th Route Army had to work hard to shoot it down.

Of course, these are all secondary. If they really wanted to fight, they could just pull a few cannons and bombard the wall continuously. No matter how thick the wall was, the people inside would still die. However, the 19th Route Army had to consider the influence of public opinion and left this job to the Punishment Army.

Seeing a group of 19th Route Army soldiers near a pile of sandbags, the big machine boss drove the tank over, opened the hatch, stuck his head out, and shouted to the soldiers: "An officer, tell me what's going on!"

Several soldiers looked at each other in bewilderment, and a corporal stood up and replied, "Sir! There are more than 700 Japanese soldiers who have taken control of the telegraph office and the two small buildings on its left and right sides.

The Japs don't have heavy weapons, but they have a lot of light machine guns and grenades. If we attack them forcefully, we will suffer heavy losses. The people from the Tax Police Corps also stopped us from using artillery, so we have no other choice."

The big machine tyrant hummed.

"Okay, leave this to us. You retreat first. If they come to trouble you, you can say that the Punitive Force broke into your defense zone and burned down the British house."

Several soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that was great, they didn't have to die.

They hurriedly evacuated the street, but did not go far. They stopped at the intersection and looked over here. It was the first time they saw so many tanks, and they were Chinese tanks, so they all wanted to take a few more looks.

After the big machine boss confirmed the situation, he divided the tanks into two groups, and surrounded the three rows of buildings occupied by the Japanese, one in front and one in the back. He fired directly from the tank cannons and heavy machine guns, and the Japanese dared not to stick their heads out of the windows.

The Japs have no heavy weapons, and if Big Machine King wanted, he could use only the tank gun to destroy them, but he wanted to try out the new product he made!

A rectangular truck slowly drove into the battlefield. At first glance, it looked like a small truck, but if you look closely, you will find that there is a rotating turret on the top of the truck with a ignited nozzle on it.

This is a jet train converted from a small or medium-sized oil tanker! Its main body is the oil tanker that Li Qinwu found in the Fengtian Arsenal.

Since there are many houses in downtown Shanghai, the Japanese will use the gaps between the houses and alleys to fight defensive battles, and the punitive troops will inevitably be caught up in a battle to seize houses.

In close combat, even if the Punishment Army is well-equipped, there is a possibility of casualties. In order to avoid casualties, Da Jiba asked Li Qinwu to convert the tanker truck into a spray truck.

The modification of the Big Machine is very simple. The entire body of the spray car, including the oil tank, is protected by 40mm thick ceramic steel armor, and then a booster bottle is modified using a motorcycle engine and a gas cylinder.

The oil tank is filled with semi-solidified gasoline processed with condensed oil powder. The booster bottle allows the nozzle to spray semi-solidified gasoline like water, with a maximum range of 40 meters.

The pressure stored in the booster bottle can be sprayed three times continuously. After three sprays, the pressure in the cylinder will drop rapidly. It will take 20 seconds for the motorcycle engine to pressurize the booster bottle before it can be sprayed again.

The spray train slowly drove to within 40 meters in front of the Japanese occupied house. This thing drove extremely slowly. The 40mm ceramic steel was too heavy. This car could only drive about 8 kilometers per hour.

When the Japanese soldiers in the telegraph office saw the slowly approaching fire engine, although they didn't know what this monster was doing, they were instinctively frightened and raised their guns to attack.

However, the protection of the firearms is quite terrible. The 40mm cast ceramic steel plate cannot be penetrated by a rifle, let alone a 75mm field gun.

The Japs were just trying to find a new way to attack. The flamethrower turret's spray gun was already ready. It was aimed at a window on the first floor. With a bang, a column of fire as thick as a human fist spewed out.

The spurting columns of fire were semi-fluid gasoline processed with condensed oil powder. After they shot into the window, they hit the wall and scattered, spreading the burning gasoline gel everywhere. The four Japanese soldiers stationed in this room were instantly engulfed by the flames and turned into firemen.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!!"

The Japs let out heart-wrenching screams, and the flames climbed up their bodies like leeches, making them run around in panic.

Several Japanese soldiers tried to put out the fire like crazy. They tore off their clothes and rolled on the ground, but the semi-gel gasoline only spread it more evenly. These flames from hell would not stop until all the water in their bodies was burned away.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!!"

One of the Japanese soldiers couldn't bear it anymore. He felt like his internal organs were on fire. He stumbled around in the burning house, then rushed out of the first floor, fell to the ground and rolled around, spreading flames everywhere. Finally, he crawled a few meters to the side of the road and turned into a ball of burning charcoal on the ground.

The soldiers of the 19th Route Army who saw this scene from a distance felt horrified, looking at the fire-breathing monster with horror. Even though they and the Japs were enemies fighting for life and death, this was still too fucking tragic!

Several tough old soldiers who had stabbed the Japanese to death with bayonets looked pale, and the new recruits were even worse. They vomited on the spot. They swore that the screams of the Japanese burned to death by flames were the loudest and most miserable they had ever heard in their lives.
