Anti-Japanese War, weapons designer at Fengtian Arsenal

Li Xiao drank the remaining half bottle of Coke, crossed his legs, and placed his hands on his legs.

"What I want is to let them go back and let them gather their forces to attack me. These bandits are scattered in the mountains. It is too troublesome to kill them one by one. It is better to let them gather together to attack me. Then I can wipe them out in one fell swoop!"

As he said this, he took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Li Qinwu. Li Qinwu took the paper and took a look. It was a simple topographic map of Hutou Mountain.

The Hutou Mountain marked in the picture is an irregular mountain area of ​​hundreds of miles. The terrain is very rugged, with mountains and canyons crisscrossing. The interior is almost entirely deep mountains and old forests. Except for some places developed by bandits where people can live, the rest are the territories of wild beasts.

There are 8 entrances in Baili Mountain for large troops to enter and exit. These 8 intersections are controlled by 8 large bandits, who often come down the mountain from these entrances to rob.

Li Xiao had already defeated the big bandits in three surrounding areas. He did not kill the others because they were too far away and had to go through the mountain roads.

Li Qinwu's eyes became brighter as he looked at the diagram. He pointed at eight intersections and said, "Control these eight intersections and build fortresses here, then we can control this hundred-mile mountain!

In the next 10 years or so, the three northeastern provinces will be under the control of the devils. If we can gather the refugees, establish a base in the mountains, and go down the mountains from time to time to rob the towns controlled by the devils, it will definitely cause them a lot of trouble and will also inspire the Chinese people and the people of the three northeastern provinces. We have not abandoned the three northeastern provinces! "

Li Xiao nodded in agreement.

"I thought so too, but we don't have enough manpower now. There are only about 200 people under my command, including those from the Hong Quan Hall. It is difficult for us to control the blind bear's camp, and we don't have the spare power to control other passes.

In addition, I found many people from the camp where we destroyed the bandits. There were men and women, about 300 of them. They were all refugees who had come to the mountains to avoid the Japanese invaders. As soon as they got to the mountains, they were robbed by the bandits. All the men were locked up as slaves, and all the women were...

I feel that these people can be won over and become our future team. In addition, refugees have been running to the mountains from time to time in the past few days, and we have received more than 100 people in a row.

In the future, the devils will implement a pioneering group policy in the three northeastern provinces, immigrate millions of people from Korea and Japan, rob the people of the three northeastern provinces of their land, and degrade them to serfs. More and more people will escape. If we can prepare in advance, I am afraid we can quickly increase the population and quickly become a climate! "

Li Qinwu nodded. If they could completely control Hutou Mountain, the Japanese would probably send one or two divisions to keep an eye on them!

When the time comes, we can make use of the space on the island, send some heavy machinery and construction materials over to build permanent fortifications. We can send a few hundred people to guard an intersection, making it impossible for the Japanese to get in even if they bite their teeth off!

The more Li Qinwu thought about it, the more he felt that there was a way forward, so he immediately decided: "I will give you 500 people first, you must gain a foothold first, and quickly eliminate the other bandits in Hutou Mountain, control all the entrances to the mountain, and receive the refugees coming up the mountain.

I will build Hutou Mountain into our base in the three northeastern provinces! I will build every road leading into the mountain into a permanent fortress, and let the fortress drain the blood of every devil who dares to attack! "

Li Qinwu is determined to cultivate this area. He needs Li Xiao to get rid of the bandits in Hutou Mountain as soon as possible. As for whether he has ever thought about recruiting the bandits?

Absolutely not.

At that time, Li Xiao led his men to attack a bandit camp, opened the underground cave, and rescued many women who had been tortured beyond recognition. The only way he could deal with these bandits was to work them to death!

As for why Li Xiao was only given 500 people? Why not more? There was no other way. The clones were created naked, and he needed to buy all kinds of daily necessities for them, and also provide them with food and accommodation.

There was not much expenditure on daily necessities. Even if he bought better things, five or six dollars would be enough. But the problem was that he really couldn't find a place to buy so many clothes, shoes and socks at one time.

As for the textile factory that Li Jin bought, it only had about 200 sets of clothes in stock, and he had to look for shoes elsewhere.

Li Qinwu has ordered Li Jin to buy clothes, shoes and socks with all his strength. In order to control Hutou Mountain in the future, he needs to mobilize a wave of soldiers. Hutou Mountain requires at least two to three thousand people to defend it. The cost of this legion is absolutely terrifying, and the daily food cost is an astronomical figure. This is why Li Qinwu is so conservative when creating his clone.

"Is there anything else you need? Please ask."

Li Xiao nodded and said, "The blind bear's camp is in the valley. The mountains on both sides of the valley are very high and rugged. Ordinary people can't climb up at all. I can barely make it up. I want to climb up the mountain later, open a portal in the main body, and send a few brothers to set up heavy machine guns on it.

I estimate that this group of bandits can gather a force of about 1000 people. The mountain is so congested that they can't move out. Then we can open a portal and send a few heavy machine guns behind them. We can block them from both sides and kill them. They will all be trapped!"

Li Qinwu said yes, and stayed in Hutou Mountain for the next few days to cooperate with Li Xiao in setting up defensive positions, mainly to move several Liao-made Maxim heavy machine guns up the mountain.

The two mountains are really steep, and they are covered with gravel. Many places are almost vertical at 90 degrees. Ordinary people can't climb up at all. Otherwise, Blind Bear would not have built the village in the valley. Otherwise, if people climbed up the two mountains and stood on the mountains to throw stones down, the people below would have died.

Only Li Xiao's clone could barely climb to the top of the mountain with his extraordinary skills. However, there was no place to set up a heavy machine gun on the top of the mountain. The mount of the heavy machine gun had to be buried in the soil and stuck, otherwise the heavy machine gun would fly away once the shot was fired.

There was really no other way, so Li Qinwu took out a pack of explosives, blew up a small space on the top of the mountain, and nailed the gun mount to the mountain, thus stabilizing the heavy machine gun.

He set up four heavy machine guns on the top of the mountain at one time and cut some branches to cover them. The bandits would not be able to see them without binoculars.

The heavy machine guns were ready, and 500 clones were in place. These 500 clones were wearing the most common long gowns and jackets in the Republic of China era. From Li Qinwu's aesthetic point of view, this thing was extremely ugly, and this clothing also had the shadow of the Qing Dynasty. He just didn't like it no matter how he looked at it.

But there was no way, this thing was the most in stock in the textile factories. At that time, people in the Republic of China lived a hard life, and the Ma褂 was very suitable for keeping warm or wearing while working, so every merchant had stock of it.

Li Qinwu cannot let his clone wear this thing all the time. Now he can only use it for emergency purposes. It looks boring. He has already found time to start designing military uniforms. Military uniforms must be handsome because Li Qinwu's future army will definitely have a propaganda function. When they win the battle, they will take pictures and publish them in newspapers, which will make people want to join the army.

But that is a matter for the future. Now, Li Xiao has obtained 500 absolutely loyal men, and all of them are equipped with Type rifles. These guns were captured from the Japanese, and they are fully equipped with belts, ammunition boxes, bayonets and scabbards, which makes it easy to form combat effectiveness.

In comparison, the equipment seized from the Fengtian Arsenal were only bare guns. It didn't matter when using hyperspace strikes, since they could return to the island space for replenishment at any time. But it wouldn't work if they sent their clones out to fight, so they still had to bring carrying gear.

As for the arrangement of these 500 people, Li Xiao's arrangement was to leave only 100 people in the Blind Bear Camp and send the rest to Wangshantun at the foot of the mountain.

The reason for doing this is, one, to reduce the number of people in the camp, otherwise the bandits who come to besiege will retreat when they see that they have killed too many people; the other reason is to strengthen the control of Wangshantun.

With the activities of the Japanese invaders in the three northeastern provinces, more and more people have gone to Wangshantun for refuge in the past few days. A fight with the bandits is about to break out in the mountains, and these people going into the mountains will become a disturbance. So Li Xiao temporarily placed these people in Wangshantun and sent them into the mountains after the bandits were dealt with.

Currently, there is a large amount of grain in the Wangshantun granary, all of which were looted by bandits. However, this is not a long-term solution after all. Li Qinwu has already felt the food crisis, and he has asked the students to find channels to purchase large amounts of grain.

Everything was arranged in an orderly manner here, and the bandits in Hutou Mountain did not keep them waiting for long. On the third day after Li Xiao sent the envoy back, they assembled a bandit army of about 3 people and began to attack Li Xiao, the outsider.
