Anti-Japanese War, weapons designer at Fengtian Arsenal

"Director Wang, the armor of the Japanese tanks is very thin, and larger caliber bullets can penetrate it. Western countries have anti-tank guns specifically designed to fight tanks, and I think we should have the same weapons."

Li Qinwu led everyone to the bunker and pointed to the anti-tank gun on the fixed platform and said: "This gun has only 42 parts, and the structure is extremely simple. Most of the parts are made from other guns in our factory, and only a small number of special parts need to be made independently.

该枪全重14.2公斤，发射12.7x99毫米子弹，现在正测试200米是否能够击穿20毫米装甲！”

Everyone was very interested in this matter and looked at the inferior gun with curiosity.

Under the gaze of everyone, Li Qinwu walked behind the bunker and pulled the trigger rope hard. With a loud bang, the metal armor plate 200 meters away was successfully hit, causing sparks.

Li Qinwu hurried over to see. Huang Xiansheng was very curious about this and followed him. As Huang Xiansheng ran, the others followed him, and they all ran to the shooting position in a flash.

The result was very encouraging. The armor plate was successfully penetrated, with a hole in the middle large enough for two fingers to pass through. The bullet even had enough power to break the supporting wooden pillar.

Li Qinwu handed the armor plate to Huang Xiansheng.

"Director Huang, please read this. Within 200 meters, the anti-tank gun can successfully penetrate 20mm of armor. Using it to attack the enemy tanks will be even more effective.

The thickest part of the Japanese tank's armor is only 17 mm, and most of them are riveted. This kind of armor connection technology is very poor. If the bullet hits the riveted part, there is a greater chance of penetrating it! "

Huang Xiansheng touched the hole on the armor plate with his hand, his eyes shining brightly.

"Director Li, can this gun be mass-produced?"

Li Qinwu looked at Director Zhang standing aside.

"This is not something I can consider. The issue of mass production still needs to be discussed and decided by you gentlemen."

Seeing everyone's eyes on him, Director Zhang immediately patted his chest and made a promise.

"Everyone, rest assured! I will do my best to put this weapon into production as soon as possible!"

As he said this, he looked at Li Qinwu with burning eyes, thinking that this young man was really extraordinary. He had just produced a submachine gun blueprint a few days ago, and now he has come up with an anti-tank weapon. This is a real talent. He must be won over! He must be won over well!

He walked up and patted Li Qinwu on the shoulder.

"Director Li is truly a rare talent. He has come up with two weapons in a row. If they were put in Europe and the United States, he would be a top-notch designer!

Director Li, don't worry, your talent will never be buried in our factory. Our factory has a policy of supporting talents. Just like the Spitfire-1 submachine gun, our factory will purchase the blueprints of the anti-tank gun!

Our factory is willing to pay 15 yuan to purchase the production rights of this gun from Director Li privately, and the Marshal's Mansion will pay 4 yuan, and I will pay 1 yuan as a design reward for Director Li, a total of 20 yuan! "

When these words were spoken, everyone's eyes widened. Many people knew that Li Qinwu had designed a submachine gun before and was rewarded with 15 oceans. Now he got another 20 oceans. This young man's net worth is now 35 oceans!

Everyone began to applaud unconsciously, and their eyes became more passionate when they looked at Li Qinwu.

Director Yang smiled at the envious expressions of the crowd and said to Li Qinwu, "Director Li is truly a hero at a young age. Young people like you should take on greater responsibilities. However, it is not good to be promoted too quickly. In a year or two, you won't be able to hold on to the title of deputy director anymore. Hahaha!"

Li Qinwu also laughed cheerfully. He glanced at Director Guo, whose face was livid in the crowd, with disdain in his eyes. Deputy Director Zhang's words just now were meant for this guy. What did he mean by the deputy director's shell couldn't fit him? Didn't that mean he should be promoted to the position of director?

In the past, he would not care about the position given to him by the Fengtian Arsenal, as it was just an experience card anyway. But now he plans to continue his development in the Gongxian Arsenal, so the official position he obtains here has more value.

After September 918, my main body evacuated to Gongxian Arsenal with the technical staff. When I was evaluated for my position there, the experience I had gained in Fengtian Arsenal would be of great reliance.

Director Guo was mixed in the crowd and applauding. When he saw Li Qinwu giving him a mocking look, he couldn't help but put down his hands and clenched them into fists.

He wondered what was wrong with Li Qinwu's brain? He had come up with two weapons that were very useful in just a few days. In comparison, their gun design department was like a pregnant woman with a difficult labor. They hadn't been able to come up with anything for so many years. Even if they managed to come up with a weapon, it would be like a deformed baby with many problems and could not be put into production.

He felt a little regretful for no reason. If he had established a good relationship with Li Qinwu and made him his confidant, would he have been able to have a share in the weapons and equipment he made?

Unfortunately, all these have become fantasies now. Now that he has become an enemy of the other party, all he can think about is how to get rid of the other party!

He looked at Li Qinwu who was surrounded by so many people, and jealousy made him twisted. He thought viciously: You can be so arrogant, but you won’t be able to be arrogant for long, because the guy you hit before will attack you soon!

After a round of flattery from everyone, Wang Yizhe walked up with a smile.

"Director Li, I heard that you made a submachine gun called the Spitfire-1. I was listening to Director Zhang talking to the young marshal about this weapon. I am very curious about this weapon! I wonder when our army will be equipped with it?"

Li Qinwu stepped forward and shook hands with Wang Yizhe. Wang Yizhe is now a lieutenant general and commander of the 7th Independent Army Brigade stationed in Fengtian. He is one of the people with the highest military power in the city.

On September 918, Wang Yizhe was hesitant about the enemy's attack, and later withdrew from Fengtian City with great regret, saying: "If we had resolutely resisted on the night of September , things would not have ended like this, and the enemy's ambitions might have been curbed. We made a fundamental mistake, and we will become sinners for all eternity."

From then on, Wang Yizhe gave up all his illusions and firmly resisted the Japanese. He also founded the "New Life" magazine to specifically promote the idea of ​​resisting Japan and saving the country.

As for the Spitfire-1 submachine gun that he was concerned about, Li Qinwu no longer paid attention to it after writing out the drawings and production opinions. He looked at Deputy Director Zhang.

"Commander Wang, the new gun needs to be tested and finalized before it can be produced. It requires new production lines and skilled workers. When the Spitfire-1 submachine gun can be equipped to the troops, it is still up to the gentlemen of our arsenal to decide."

These words made everyone's attention fall on Deputy Director Zhang again.

Deputy Director Zhang patted his chest and assured: "I have been worrying about the Spitfire-1 submachine gun these days. This gun has entered the preliminary test, and its performance is shocking. All tests have been passed almost at once, and production can be started.

I have vacated three workshops, and the machinery and equipment will be installed in the next two days. I have also assigned 50 mid-level technicians and 500 junior technicians to participate in production. "

He glanced at Li Qinwu with a smile on his face. Such a capable young man must be closely tied to their Zhang family and he must be given a higher official position!

"In addition, this gun was designed by Director Li, and he is quite familiar with its production and manufacturing. In this case, let Director Li supervise the production of the Spitfire-1 submachine gun and the new anti-tank gun!"
