Anti-Japanese War, weapons designer at Fengtian Arsenal

Li Qinwu's gaze stayed on the body of the clone for more than 10 seconds. He was mentally prepared that the death of the first clone was a matter of time, so he didn't feel it was so sudden.

It was just that when the other party died, the pain brought by the seamless information sharing slightly affected Li Qinwu's mind, making him realize that these clones were both a whole that obeyed him indiscriminately and individuals with self-awareness.

But Li Qinwu is not a saint. He knows that sending this clone into the building is the best option. His death successfully allows Li Qinwu to open a portal inside the building and occupy the building where the gold is most likely to be hidden. Otherwise, a frontal attack will only kill dozens or even hundreds of people. This is a very simple arithmetic problem.

He only tasted the bitterness for a dozen seconds, then quickly regained his composure and continued to do what he was supposed to do.

At this time, Li Qinwu had not yet realized that he had mastered the essential skills of the warriors of this era. He spent a dozen seconds tasting the incomparable pain, and then quickly regained his sanity and did more correct things.

Li Qinwu built a portal in the building and transported out the weapons and ammunition that had been prepared long ago. This time he did not intend to use the trans-time and space tactics of fight and run away. This building was very strong and was most likely to hide gold. He planned to hold on here. As for 80 tons of gold, he didn't know how long it would take to transport them.

To this end, he carried out 12 Liao-made Maxim rifles stolen from the arsenal.

This machine gun fires 12.7x99mm large-caliber bullets and looks like an enlarged Maxim. If its water-cooling sleeve is removed and replaced with a heavy barrel, it will become the famous M2 Lao Gan Ma in later generations.

Twelve Liao-made Maxim rifles were evenly distributed in the windows of the third and fourth floors. The clones first cleared out the debris in the room, then placed the huge gun rack on the ground, pressed it down with heavy objects, connected the gun body and the gun rack, tightened all the bolts, loaded the huge 12-round ammunition box, pulled the bolt to load the bullets, and pulled the trigger directly at the bunker where the Japanese were hiding below.

In an instant, the heavy machine gun fired a loud explosion-like sound, and the gun flames over two meters long rushed out of the window, making the Japanese soldiers below shudder.

There were about ten Japanese soldiers who survived the first wave of assault. At this time, they were attacked by the Liao-made Maxim heavy machine guns, and they went to hell along with the bunker.

Li Qinwu's arrangements were not finished yet. He took out four Liao 14-type mountain cannons and pushed them directly to the first floor for installation. With the addition of these four cannons, please no longer call this building the Young Marshal's Mansion, but call it the Young Marshal's Fortress!

Not long after the defense was set up, the Japanese response team arrived. The 120 Japanese soldiers deployed in the villa area were confused. Why were there so many gunshots coming from the core area they were protecting?

They didn't have time to think too much. They immediately formed a team and gathered at the shouts of their team leaders and ran towards the main building where the gunshots came from.

Li Qinwu was sharing a view with an avatar on the 4th floor who was controlling a machine gun. He saw a group of Japanese soldiers running hurriedly towards the main building on the garden path not far away, which was within the attack range of the heavy machine gun.

Upon seeing this, Li Qinwu directly ordered a free attack. The clone who was controlling the Liao-made Maxim rifle immediately pulled the trigger. A huge burst of gunfire rang out, and a series of bullets carrying terrifying kinetic energy fell into the Japanese team, instantly creating a lot of broken limbs and arms.

These devils screamed in agony. If they were shot in the shoulder, their entire arms would be torn apart. If they were shot in the abdomen, their intestines would be pulled out from their backs. If they were shot in the leg, their entire thighs would be torn apart along with the leg bones.

The 12.7x99mm bullet was originally designed to attack low-altitude aircraft and light armored vehicles, and it is a bit beyond the scope to use it to hit the human body.

Often after a bullet tears one person's body apart, it still has enough power to penetrate the bodies of three or four people. At this moment, the Japanese soldiers were approaching quickly in a running formation and were directly pierced through by the bullets from the heavy machine gun. There were more than 20 Japanese soldiers and the heavy machine gun fired for about 10 seconds, and the ground was full of broken limbs and bullet holes.

Li Qinwu nodded with satisfaction upon seeing this. Although his clones didn't have any military skills and only learned basic weapon operations on the island, they couldn't implement any complicated tactics, but they could still fight against the Japanese by guarding the house and completing the tower defense.

Li Qinwu adjusted his vision and checked the defense. At this moment, a clone suddenly contacted him from the conscious level and informed him of a major discovery.

Li Qinwu moved his perspective to the clone and found that he was in the basement. The clone thought he had discovered an underground vault!

Li Qinwu was immediately overjoyed. After confirming that the basement was safe, he opened the portal and went to observe in person.

After coming out of the portal, Li Qinwu came to a narrow underground passage. The underground passage was only wide enough for three people to walk side by side. At the end of the underground passage was a huge steel door.

He walked forward and touched the steel door, his face a little gloomy. This broken door was similar to the one he saw when he went to the Northeast Bank to exchange gold.

At that time, because he withdrew too much gold, the president of the Northeast Bank invited him to visit the vault. When the vault door opened, he glanced at the iron door and found that the thickness of the iron door was more than 300 mm!

It can be protected by a 300mm metal door, so it is basically certain that it is a vault, but how can he open a 300mm door?

Li Qinwu thought that he didn't need to go through the main door, maybe he could just blow up the wall. But then he thought about what he had talked about with the bank president. He asked the bank president at that time, if someone came to rob, would it be feasible to just blow up the wall instead of going through the door?

The bank president smiled and said to him, "The vault is made entirely of reinforced concrete, three meters thick. If someone were to rob the bank, he might as well just chew on the steel door."

If Li Qinwu chose to blow up the wall, it would take an unknown amount of time to blast the three-meter-thick reinforced concrete structure. Moreover, the tunnel structure was complicated, and he could not blow up the vault wall directly. He had to blow through the passage wall first before he could reach the vault wall. It would be better for him to just gnaw on the door.

"Damn it! Pull the cannon down and fire!"

Li Qinwu cursed, opened a portal to the first floor, asked the clone door to push a cannon back to the island space, and then opened another door in the basement.

However, the basement was too narrow, and it was impossible for him to put the cannon down. So Li Qinwu kept a portal open, opened a shooting hole, and let his clones shoot with cannons in the island space.

The clone immediately loaded the armor-piercing bullets, and after it was ready, it pulled the trigger cord and a cannon blast sounded.

The Liao Type 14 mountain gun is not an anti-tank gun. Even if it fires solid armor-piercing shells, its penetration capability cannot compete with a 300 mm thick gate.

The shell did not cause significant damage to the gate, but only made a small dent on the door, while the armor-piercing shell itself was shattered and some metal powder remained on the door.

Li Qinwu slightly adjusted the position of the portal and opened it directly to a position less than one meter away from the vault door. The closer the distance, the greater the penetration of the shells.

Li Qinwu thought to himself, damn, 300mm armor, I’m going to use my 75mm cannon to eat it down today!

However, he was afraid that the shells might rebound and injure the gunners, so he opened the portal very, very small, leaving almost only the muzzle of the gun leaking out. This way, if the shells hit the metal gate and broke it, the metal debris would not be able to hurt the clones.

In this way, continuous bombardment began. The Liao Type 14 mountain cannon had a firing rate of about 1 rounds per minute. The military quality of the clones was a little worse, and they could barely reach 10 rounds per minute.

Li Qinwu didn't know how many shots would be needed to blow open the door, but he was prepared for a long battle, and his clone upstairs was ready to resist the large enemy force.

While he was bombarding the basement, the gunfire upstairs became more and more intense. The Japanese squadron stationed in the villa area discovered this sudden explosion in the center and immediately reported it to the Japanese high-level officials.

The Japanese high-ranking officials were shocked in an instant, thinking that some Chinese troops had broken into the Young Marshal's Mansion. They immediately mobilized troops and sent a large group of troops to attack.

The Japanese intelligence agencies did a good job. They had long known that there was a large amount of gold hidden in the Young Marshal's Mansion. That was why they ordered it to be sealed, because they were afraid that the lower-level soldiers would not be able to resist the temptation and steal the gold.

Now that an unknown Chinese armed force had rushed into the Young Marshal's residence, the Japanese upper echelons instinctively felt uneasy. Although they felt that even if this group of people managed to gain a foothold, they would not be able to take away so much gold, the fact that so much wealth was so close to the enemy made them feel uncomfortable.

A large group of Japanese soldiers came out of the city to carry out a sweep and rushed to the villa area. The captain of the Japanese soldiers wanted to find the squadron leader who was guarding the villa to inquire about the situation, but the surviving soldiers told him that the squadron leader was dead.

The Chinese troops in the building appeared so suddenly that the squadron leader was shot in the back and killed. His body is still in the garden in front of the building and cannot be retrieved.

The Japanese captain was shocked to hear that a squadron leader had been killed. They had been fighting smoothly since the start of the war, and this was the first squadron leader he had heard of being killed in battle.

Next, he began to deploy, planning to have the soldiers launch a tentative attack first to find out the enemy's firepower.

He ordered his soldiers to press forward from all directions, and then a scene that stunned him happened, the building in front of him suddenly went berserk, and fire snakes were spewing out of every window. The people inside were all using automatic firepower!

What's even more fucking outrageous is that there were a few windows with flames one or two meters long, and they were actually caused by a heavy assault rifle!

The Japanese captain held up a telescope and counted the number of heavy machine guns with trembling mouth, one, two, three, four... 12, 12 heavy machine guns! This is equivalent to the number of machine guns equipped by a machine gun squadron!

The Japanese captain felt a pain in his teeth. He put down his binoculars and shouted at a squad leader next to him: "Where did these people get so many heavy weapons? Did you just watch them carry the heavy weapons in and do nothing?"

The young captain was also very confused at this time. He was guarding the outskirts of the villa area and had no idea what was happening in the main building. He was scolded and stammered, and could only put his face close to the captain and wait for his caress.

The Japanese captain didn't want his veteran to come into contact with the enemy's face for the time being. Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of them, he could only start making arrangements in a methodical manner.

"There are many tall buildings nearby. Let the machine gun squadron spread out and set up machine guns on the upper floors to suppress the enemies inside with machine gun fire!"

The officer under his command shouted and went forward to give the order.

A Japanese battalion had about 1100 people, usually three infantry squadrons, one machine gun squadron, and one transport squadron.

The machine gun squadron has three machine gun teams, each machine gun team has four machine gun detachments, and each detachment has a heavy machine gun. Together, a Japanese squadron has 3 heavy machine guns.

At that time, the Japanese were still using the Taisho Type 1932 heavy machine gun. As for the famous Type heavy machine gun, it was a modified version of the Type heavy machine gun and would be launched in .

The Japanese machine gun crew moved quickly, carrying machine gun parts up the stairs. They wanted to surround the building where Li Qinwu was.

When the Japanese machine gun teams began to set up machine guns, they would often keep the muzzles away from windows, thus reducing the risk of being discovered by the enemy when firing.

Li Qinwu did not notice this detail. The muzzle of his heavy machine gun was sticking out of the window and people outside could see it at a glance. Li Qinwu's poor military literacy made him unable to realize how dangerous this behavior was.

But fortunately, he occupied an advantageous terrain, and the Liao-made Maxim had a gun shield, so the enemy's light weapons could not cause effective damage. Moreover, he also had a cannon!

On the Japanese squad leader's side, soldiers kept reporting that the heavy machine guns had been set up and the enemy was trapped. He unconsciously smiled and planned to suppress the enemy with firepower before attacking.

But his smile didn't last long, as a huge cannon blast was heard and the third floor of a western-style building was engulfed by the explosion.

The Japanese captain looked towards the explosion site in disbelief. He remembered that was the location where a heavy machine gun was set up. With such an explosion, the heavy machine gun and the machine gun squad would probably be completely destroyed.

"Baga! What's going on? They're firing cannons somewhere!"

The Japanese captain was so angry that he jumped to his feet, but before he could figure out what was happening, another artillery fire was heard, and another machine gun position was detonated. This time he could see the position of the artillery clearly, and it turned out that it was coming from the first floor of the building occupied by the enemy!
