Anti-Japanese War, weapons designer at Fengtian Arsenal

“What are you going to shoot?”

Li Ruinian asked.

Li Qinwu finished the food in Tao Gang's lunch box in a few bites.

"We must be careful about this. With our strength, the films we make will definitely become classics. People at this time don't watch as many films as later generations, and their resistance to poison is not strong. We must think carefully about what we make, and we can't let it become a cultural tumor."

This is not an exaggeration. Although Li Qinwu is not a director, he has watched so many movies in the information age. His plots and shooting techniques are far better than those of other directors in the world. In addition, he has so many clones and so much money. The movies he makes will definitely not be bad and will inevitably become classics.

This kind of film will become a spiritual imprint for a generation or even several generations, just like the influence of "Journey to the West" on later generations, which is almost engraved in their DNA. He must not allow any negative orientation to appear in the film, otherwise it would be a big sin.

After Li Ruinian learned of Li Qinwu's idea, he suggested: "Why not start with those that have been proven to be successful and have a positive orientation, such as Journey to the West, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and Water Margin? You can also make animated films, such as Calabash Brothers, Little Tadpole Looking for His Mother, and The Sloppy King. These films are both entertaining and have a cultural orientation."

Li Qinwu nodded.

“Sure, we’ll discuss this with Li Xin when the time comes. He’s already bought some small film studios and acquired some equipment. Let’s see what kind of films they can make with their technology.

Let's not talk about this for now. We'll send someone to send the old white man to the American consulate later. I estimate that when the old man wakes up, he will become a pioneer in anti-Japanese activities. Their Perry family is no ordinary family. It is said that they are involved in the political, business and military circles of the United States. The Japanese will suffer a great crime this time.

By the way, are you familiar with the drill on the Japanese destroyer? There is still a big show to be performed for the Japanese, so don't be too nervous! "

Li Ruinian patted his chest and made the promise.

"Don't worry, give me half a month, and I will definitely master the operation of the destroyer. Even if I can't fire six special guns, I can still start it and fire the guns."

Li Qinwu said: "We are not asking you to confront the Japanese warships. It is enough to be able to start the operation. Get ready. In the end, we must give the Japanese a hard time. We must burn the hatred of the Japanese navy and army."

……

The perspective returns to the Fourteen-Nation Conference. With Captain Joel as a living witness, the Japanese representative has no way to defend himself. This matter has risen to a major national policy and is not something that a small diplomat like him can decide. It must be resolved through a meeting between the bigwigs of both sides.

The Japanese representative still had a very positive attitude towards the American master. He said that he would invite the American ambassador to Japan and the cabinet ministers to discuss the matter in detail. The merchant ship issue was taken over.

The Japanese were very tired of diplomatic affairs, but the Japanese commander Shirakawa did not stop his offensive. This time he gathered more than 9 warships, several large transport ships, and more than 19 ground troops, and launched the most fierce attack on the th Route Army's defense line.

Planes were bombing, artillery was roaring, and Japanese soldiers rushed towards the 19th Route Army in large numbers. Facing the attack of more than 9 Japanese soldiers, the 19th Route Army was no longer as lucky as before. After several rounds of bombing by the Japanese, the defense line in the city had been broken and could no longer withstand the attack of the Japanese large army.

After more than a month of fighting, the soldiers of the 19th Route Army and the Fifth Army were exhausted to the extreme, and their ammunition consumption was almost zero, especially the Sweeper submachine gun that Li Qinwu sold to the 19th Route Army. This thing consumed a lot of bullets. Li Qinwu loaded it with all the pistol bullets he brought from the Fengtian Arsenal, but now they had guns but no bullets.

These are not the most fatal. The most fatal thing is that a senior general named Wang was captured by the Japanese spies! When he was captured, he was carrying a briefcase containing military secrets, which recorded the military deployment of the 19th Route Army and the Fifth Army. This was equivalent to showing his underwear to the Japanese!

Until now, how did General Wang, who was carrying so many confidential documents, get captured alive by Japanese spies in the safe rear? This is a mystery. Of course, there are also claims that he defected to Japan, but this matter is no longer traceable. But no matter what, the intelligence he revealed to the Japanese laid the foundation for the failure of the Battle of Songhu.

The Nationalist government itself did not want to fight the Japanese, but now that it had exposed its true colors to the Japanese, it took the opportunity to persuade the generals of the 19th Route Army to agree to a final negotiation with the Japanese.

Therefore, with the Nationalist government wanting to stop the war as soon as possible and the Japanese commander Shirakawa wanting to reap the benefits as soon as possible, the two sides discussed and came up with the four agreements for the Songhu ceasefire, which are as follows:

1. Both armies retreated simultaneously

19. The Japanese troops withdrew to the International Settlement, and the 5th Army of the 20th Route Army withdrew to the direction of Zhenru. The Japanese troops were not allowed to pursue for more than kilometers.

3. Public order in the withdrawal area will be maintained by the Chinese police.

4. Ask a third-party country to come forward and testify.

This agreement was recognized in the presence of all the great powers, and the Republic of China began to plan for its withdrawal.

It was easy for the Fifth Army to retreat, as they just had to retreat to the southwest, but the retreat of the 19th Route Army was fraught with difficulties.

Because before the armistice agreement was negotiated, the Japanese sent a large number of transport ships northward along the Yangtze River, occupied Fuqiao Town, and used it as a landing port to continuously send Japanese soldiers ashore.

A glance at the map shows that the Japanese landing at Fuqiao Town was equivalent to cutting off the 19th Route Army's retreat. General Cai immediately sent troops to block them, at least to protect the retreat.

However, this troop deployment exposed the fatal flaw of the 19th Route Army: their mobility was too weak!

The Japanese invaders quickly landed by boat heading north, and the 19th Route Army could only travel by land, which was only 30 kilometers away, and they could not catch up with the Japanese invaders at all.

The 19th Route Army had only 10 vehicles in one brigade, which could not even transport a company of soldiers. The Japanese landing force was at the regiment level, so what could such a small number of troops do? So now the 10th Route Army was in a huge crisis of being cut off.

Fortunately, an armistice agreement was reached at this time, and the Japanese landing troops temporarily stopped their actions. The 19th Route Army should have breathed a sigh of relief, but the Japanese knew what they were talking about, and they were experts at tearing up agreements.

General Cai did not trust the Japs at all. He made the most cautious arrangements to prevent the Japs from launching surprise attacks, and then ordered the troops to retreat in batches.

The 19th Route Army did not forget the Punitive Army when they retreated. General Cai sent a telegram to the Punitive Army, asking them to withdraw quickly. The 19th Route Army would help them guard the rear and would only withdraw after the Punitive Army completed its retreat.

As I said just now, the Japanese broke through the central position controlled by the 19th Route Army. The current battlefield situation is not friendly to the Punishment Army. In front of the Punishment Army is the Huangpu River, on the left is the Yangtze River, and on the right is the residential area occupied by the Japanese. This is equivalent to being surrounded on three sides, with only the 19th Route Army guarding the rear.

The Japanese have more than 9 troops, and there are Japanese soldiers in almost every street and alley in the city. The dense crowd is creepy. If the Punishment Army does not retreat quickly, the Japanese will surround the Punishment Army, and with the warships at sea firing, the Punishment Army will be in danger of being destroyed.

General Cai naturally would not allow such a thing to happen. The Punishment Army came to kill the Japs at their own expense and withstood so much pressure. Now that they are withdrawing, it is natural that they should leave first.

General Cai didn't know that the Punishment Army was not afraid of the Japanese's encirclement. They had Li Qinwu's portal and could retreat at any time. But they still had to leave a tough life for the Japanese.

Li Weiguo's reply to the 19th Route Army was to ask them to withdraw as soon as possible, saying that the punitive army had its own way to evacuate Shanghai, and to ask them to take care of themselves and reunite on the anti-Japanese battlefield in the future.

After sending this telegram, the Punitive Army cut off all external contacts, gathered its troops, and launched the final and most fierce attack on the Japanese.
