Anti-Japanese War, weapons designer at Fengtian Arsenal

The Japanese captain pulled the squad leader over, shook his body and roared wildly.

"Cannons!! Why the hell are there still cannons here!! How on earth did you guard them?! And you let the enemy push the cannons in!"

The Japanese squad leader had a look of despair on his face. He thought to himself, how should I know? I was watching the wall from outside and saw everything was fine. The building inside was occupied by the Chinese army. Those who knew what happened were all dead and lying in the garden. I have no idea how the cannon was pulled in!

While the two of them were screaming, the main building occupied by Li Qinwu was still under constant bombardment. The clones used artillery to attack all visible enemies or positions where enemies might be hiding. The sound of firing from three 3mm cannons continued to ring out, and groups of explosions exploded at the locations where the Japanese were hiding.

The building occupied by Li Qinwu is the main building of the Young Marshal's Mansion, which is also the tallest building in the Mansion. In order to ensure a beautiful environment, there are gardens within a distance of 30 to 40 meters next to the Young Marshal's Mansion, and there are other buildings outside the gardens.

This means that if the Japanese want to attack the main building, they have to run over a distance of 30 to 40 meters without any cover. This is quite fatal when all the enemy troops are equipped with automatic firepower.

Now that the Japanese captain discovered that the other side had artillery, the main building became even more difficult to attack. The artillery kept bombarding the buildings next to the main building, making these bunkers no longer safe. He had no choice but to order the soldiers to retreat to a safe location.

What made the Japanese captain even more uncomfortable was that the villa area was full of buildings, with buildings wrapped around other buildings. He could not use artillery to shoot at long distances, and neither indirect nor direct shooting was very effective because the shooting range was blocked by other buildings.

If you take the risk of pushing your artillery to a small intersection with a range of fire, then the enemy's heavy machine guns and artillery that have already been set up will be able to kill you before you even deploy your artillery.

This was an unfair battle. The enemy had occupied the advantageous terrain and set up heavy weapons beyond their capabilities, while they could only use infantry to launch assaults. The Japanese captain felt that even if he put in a whole battalion, they would not be able to defeat the enemy.

"Fire smoke bombs so that the soldiers can charge in the smoke!"

The Japanese captain still made tactical arrangements, planning to let the soldiers charge in the smoke. At the same time, he also ordered the two cavalry vehicles guarding the door to drive in. Once the smoke was released, the cavalry vehicles would rush out of the bunker and provide fire support.

The order has been given, and the Japanese soldiers acted quickly. Some hid in the bunkers and launched individual smoke bombs, while others used high-pressure gas cylinders to release smoke. The gas cylinders could project a large amount of smoke at one time, and could also release poisonous smoke when needed.

Dozens of gas cylinders and hundreds of smoke bombs worked at the same time, and a large amount of white smoke covered the garden under the main building, turning the sky and the earth into a vast expanse of white.

The Japanese captain thought it was a good idea. With the density of smoke, the main building was barely visible to him, and the people on the main building had no chance of spotting the imperial soldiers in the smoke.

At this time, the imperial soldiers have formed charging formations in small teams, and they will rush into the building when the time comes.

The Japanese captain picked up his watch and saw that the time was 10:29. His eyes were focused on the minute hand. As long as the minute hand reached 30 minutes, the imperial soldiers would launch a charge.

Soon, the time arrived at 10:30. The Japanese captain put down his watch and looked at the white space in front of him. He knew that his soldiers had rushed out of the bunker and would soon bring him news of victory.

He had specifically found the captains of each team to check their watches and time the attack, in order not to issue any loud orders and give the enemy troops in the building a chance to react.

He believed that with this silent charge, the imperial soldiers would have rushed into the building and engaged the enemy in close combat before the enemy could react, and then it would be time to demonstrate the imperial soldiers' powerful combat effectiveness.

However, the above was just the fantasy of the Japanese captain. The moment the Japanese squad hiding in the bunker rushed out of the bunker, fierce gunfire suddenly rang out from the main building in the smoke. Fire snakes were spewing out from every window. More than 200 automatic guns fired at the same time, and the sound was even denser than the sound of firecrackers during the New Year.

The Japanese captain was a little stunned. Why did the enemy start shooting now? Could they see anyone in such thick smoke? Could the enemy just be shooting blindly?

But the howling coming from the smoke dispelled his fantasy. A large number of imperial soldiers were wailing in the smoke, which proved that the enemy's attack had caused heavy casualties. The enemy was not shooting blindly at all, but shooting with targeted precision!

The Japanese captain was so anxious that he was jumping up and down, but the white smoke blocked his vision. He didn't know what was happening until two armored vehicles that followed the infantry rushed into the smoke and exploded into two fireballs. The Japanese captain's face turned pale in an instant and he felt it was all over.

Li Qinwu had noticed it as early as when the Japanese set off smoke. He immediately stopped the portal that could only exist once, and let the artillery that was bombarding the vault rest its barrel. Then he opened a portal next to Li Xiao and Li Xiongnu, and sent the two super soldiers into the building.

These two people have maxed out their wisdom, and their vision has reached level 7, giving them thermal vision abilities. The smoke bombs used by the Japanese are not based on the thermal smoke principle, so the two of them can see the specific location of the Japanese at a glance.

The two men transformed into human radars, each controlling a heavy machine gun, and their vision was also open to the surrounding clones, allowing other clones to compare and roughly know where the Japanese sprint team was, and then directly use automatic firepower to fire a burst of bullets into the smoke, which generally yielded some results.

Due to terrain problems, the Japanese captain only arranged two infantry squadrons and two cavalry armored vehicles to charge. They rushed into the smoke from all directions, and when their bodies reached the garden without any cover, the sudden outbreak of fire caught them off guard.

The Liao-made Maxim rifle could melt a Japanese squad directly. The horrible bullet would make a fist-sized hole on the ground. As the muzzle moved, the hole kept moving forward, and the Japanese soldiers who appeared on the line were instantly torn into pieces of meat.

The bullets from the Czech machine guns are not as powerful, but there are as many as 80 of them, and they can spit out 1600 bullets in an instant!

Most of the charging Japanese were killed by Czech machine guns, which was also the most common type of machine gun that Li Qinwu obtained at the Fengtian Arsenal.

The remaining clones all used MP18 submachine guns. This submachine gun, which fired pistol bullets, had less power, but was only thirty or forty meters away from the Japanese, which was the best combat distance for the submachine gun.

The clone using the MP18 submachine gun would share the field of vision with Li Xiao and Li Xiongnu from time to time. After comparing the positions, he would directly fire an entire magazine into the smoke, and then he could hear the wailing of the wounded Japanese soldiers coming from the smoke.

The Japanese charged forward very resolutely and died completely. The elite Japanese soldiers of the two squadrons lost more than 60% of their numbers in such a short period of time, and at least 30% of the Japanese soldiers killed and wounded in these six cities were caused by Li Xiongnu and Li Xiao.

These two men have thermal vision, and their reaction speed and physical fitness are twice that of others. The heavy machine guns are controlled with ease in their hands. They do not need to switch their fields of view from time to time like other clones. They compare the positions of the Japanese and just shoot wherever they see them. Their harvesting speed is very fast.

The Japanese soldiers in the garden were being beaten badly. The smoke not only failed to help them conceal their figures, but made it impossible for them to see the road clearly.

At the beginning, we just had to concentrate and rush straight into the main building. But now, under the enemy's firepower, the Japanese in the smoke suddenly became chaotic. There were gunshots and screams everywhere. People became confused and lost their direction when they were panicked.

In the clones' thermal vision, the Japs in the smoke were running around, unable to figure out the direction, and were killed like rabbits by their automatic firepower.

Li Xiao and Li Xiongnu on the fourth floor killed the most. They emptied an entire 250-round ammunition chain and left hundreds of tattered corpses in the garden. If the soil is turned over, the flowers planted next year will definitely be beautiful.

Most of the Japanese were killed, and a few were lucky enough to run in the right direction and escape. Finally, the artillery on the first floor fired two shots at the cavalry armored vehicles, successfully hitting the target with direct aim and directly blowing them into fireballs.

"It's over!"

These words came out of the Japanese captain's mouth, he staggered a few steps and almost fainted. Less than half of the imperial soldiers ran out of the smoke. Such a terrible loss happened in his hands. He felt that he could prepare to commit seppuku.

While the Japanese captain was worried about his future, what he didn't notice was that there was a man lying on the roof of a building next to him, staring at him.

These were the clones that Li Qinwu had sent to search the vault. After Li Qinwu confirmed the location of the vault, he did not take them back, but asked them to find a place nearby to hide and use it as an anchor point for trans-dimensional teleportation.

At this time, the clone was lying on the roof motionless, staring straight at the Japanese captain.

The Japanese captain was located on the second-floor balcony of a building, which was out of reach of the artillery from the main building. There were a large number of people and telegraph machines in the room, making it look like a front-line command center.

The distance was a bit far, so the clone couldn't see the rank on the other party's collar badge, but the Japanese soldier had a samurai sword on his waist, a telescope on his chest, and white gloves on his hands. The clone judged that he should be a high-ranking officer.

He immediately contacted Li Qinwu. Li Qinwu directed his vision to this clone and saw the person below who was suspected to be a high-ranking Japanese official.

He immediately opened the portal and sent the two super soldiers Li Xiongnu and Li Xiao over. The two super soldiers carried a heavy machine gun and set it up directly on the roof.

The heavy machine gun was installed, Li Xiao acted as the shooter to control the heavy machine gun, while Li Xiongnu, the humanoid Gundam, carried four 4-kilogram packs of explosives.

He pulled the fuse of the explosive pack and began to spin in place. His muscles swelled to the extreme and he swung the explosive pack like a discus. The explosive pack drew an arc and hit the wall of the building where the Japanese headquarters was suspected to be, and fell outside the first floor.

Before the explosive pack exploded, Li Xiongnu threw out the second one. At this time, Li Xiao's heavy machine gun also sounded. He aimed at the person on the balcony who was suspected to be a high-ranking Japanese official and poured out a large amount of firepower.

The Japanese captain was still thinking about how to make up for his mistake and avoid ending up committing seppuku. The heavy machine gun bullets fired from the roof of the opposite building instantly penetrated his body. Four or five consecutive heavy machine gun bullets hit his chest, tearing his upper limb structure into pieces.

Then the explosive pack thrown by Li Xiongnu exploded. The 20 kilograms of TNT explosives caused a shocking explosion. A huge hole was blown in the wall of the three-story Western-style building. The structures of four or five rooms around the explosion point disappeared completely. A large number of concrete stones were thrown everywhere by the explosion, injuring many Japanese soldiers who were repairing in the open space below.

Then the second, third and fourth explosive packs exploded, each causing horrific damage. The place used by the Japanese as a front-line military station was devastated. The temporary front-line hospital, material supply base and infantry rest point were all bombed.

Especially for the infantry who were resting, the explosive packs were thrown directly into the pile of soldiers. Those closest to them were reduced to ashes, while those at medium and close ranges had their hands, feet, and torsos broken. Some of the minced meat could be collected with a shovel, while those farther away were shocked and lay on the ground howling wildly. They would die of internal bleeding in a few hours.

Li Xiao's heavy machine gun fired crazily. He held the trigger tightly and many Japanese soldiers who were not affected by the explosion downstairs were killed.

After the 250-round ammunition belt was used up, the two men did not change bullets. The Japanese soldiers who had reacted had already started running upstairs, and the two men had no intention of engaging in a fight.

Li Xiongnu put on an asbestos glove and grabbed the hot gun barrel directly, while Li Xiao held the bolt with his shoulder. The two walked into the portal and disappeared.

The next moment, the Japs rushed onto the rooftop, frantically looking for the attacking enemy, but the rooftop was so small that they could see everything at a glance. There were no enemies at all. They only found a large number of bullet casings on the ground.

The entire command post of the Japanese battalion was wiped out, and the Japanese offensive came to a standstill, but Li Qinwu made progress.

Under the continuous bombardment of artillery, the door of the vault became a little brittle. At first, the armor-piercing bullets could only smash the door, but later the bullets could be embedded in the inside of the iron door.

After the dozens of shells fired, the part of the iron door that had been hit could no longer hold up, and the armor-piercing bullet smashed a fist-sized hole in the vault.
