Anti-Japanese War, weapons designer at Fengtian Arsenal

Li Qinwu opened a portal in the underground command center in the position, allowing his clones to send the confiscated spoils back to the island space.

These 1700-plus guns are all Type 100 rifles in very good condition. It is estimated that they have been fired no more than times. They are genuine new guns.

In order to win over Zhang Haipeng, the Japanese gave him a lot of guns. In order to expand his army and increase his weight with the Japanese, Zhang Haipeng distributed these guns to bandits and bribed them to join his army. Now all these guns are in Li Qinwu's pocket.

The Type 38 rifle is one of the best bolt-action rifles of this era. It has high accuracy, long range, and relatively small recoil. It is excellent whether for selling or for personal use.

After putting away his weapons, Li Qinwu walked around the position, carefully observing the settings of each firing point and learning and digesting the military knowledge that Li Jun passed on to him.

As for Li Jun, he has returned to the Yunnan Military Academy to study. According to him, during this period of time, Long Yun will take their officers to the company for internship and may not be able to manage the army for a long time. Therefore, Li Qinwu will need to command the next battle himself.

In fact, it was nothing big. After fighting with the traitors, Li Qinwu absorbed most of Li Jun's knowledge, and he was adept at many battlefield arrangements.

Li Qinwu went around the three hills and ordered his clones to dig deeper trenches and reinforce the machine gun bunkers with sandbags.

Li Qinwu knew that the Jiangqiao Anti-Japanese War could be roughly divided into three stages. The first stage was the traitors' tentative attack.

In the second stage, the Japs took action themselves.

In the third stage, Ma Zhanshan's troops lost the Nenjiang defense line and retreated to the rear to continue fighting.

The Japanese will be defeated in the second phase on October 10, which means that Li Qinwu still has nearly 13 days to strengthen his defense line.

After making a tour of the position, Li Qinwu returned to the underground command center. He used mind sharing in his mind to send information to his clones, asking them whether they encountered any problems during the combat or if they had any sudden ideas for improvement.

The clones passed the message from one to ten, from ten to a hundred, and soon the thought-sharing information was sent to all the clones. Then, several clones who were working on the position put down their work and walked towards the command center.

There are many wooden beams in the underground command post, and the top is protected by a nearly one-meter-thick layer of soil, so it can easily withstand artillery attacks below 100mm.

Several problematic clones sat down at the wooden table. One of them said to Li Qinwu, "I am the machine gunner controlling the heavy machine gun in the bunker. I feel that the dust generated when the machine gun is firing is too large. After firing 20 or 30 rounds, you can't see anything outside the firing hole. It's all dust. This greatly affects the combat effectiveness of the heavy machine gun."

Li Qinwu opened a bottle of Coke, pushed it in front of him and asked, "Do you have any suggestions for improvement?"

“Yes, it is winter now, and we can effectively reduce dust by just sprinkling some water before drilling holes to freeze the ground.

But this trick is only used in winter. If summer comes, the water poured down will dry up quickly. We have to find a way to solve this problem.

Oh, by the way, the 12.7mm caliber machine gun is very powerful and its bullets have a long range. It’s a pity that it only has mechanical sights. I think the heavy machine gun should be equipped with optical sights so that it can accurately strike enemies hundreds of meters away! "

Li Qinwu nodded and said, "Okay, let's go back and discuss the matter of Yangchen. As for the heavy machine gun sights, we have previously obtained an optical equipment production workshop from the Fengtian Arsenal, which specializes in producing gun scopes for artillery.

However, we were in a hurry and rushed in. The production workshop of this kind of optical aiming equipment is dust-free. Now the equipment has been contaminated and needs to be cleaned before it can be assembled and used. We have to open a dust-free workshop. At least we have to wait until this battle is over before we can produce our own sights. "

After saying that, he looked at another clone, who said, "I am responsible for digging trenches. If we need to fight positional warfare in the future, we can pour concrete slabs in the island space in advance and use them directly after pulling them out.

This time we want to cover the trench, so we can just cover the trench directly with concrete slabs, and we can also pile more sand on top to increase its ability to resist artillery shells.

To be honest, I think the roof we built with wood is a little weak. We can only pile less than one meter of sand on it. If it is directly hit by artillery bombs, it is still very likely to be broken through. And if it rains, the top will leak, and then the trench will be flooded. "

Li Qinwu thought this was a good idea. With modular positions and concrete slabs poured in advance, if a position was to be set up somewhere in the future, a large trench could be dug and a machine gun bunker could be set up in one day. The trench could be covered in two days, and the Japanese would have to use heavy artillery in three days. Otherwise, sending light infantry would be a suicide mission.

You can also think of building large bunkers, pulling them out and assembling them like Lego blocks, and placing artillery inside to deal with Japanese tanks and armored vehicles.

However, these things have to wait until the clone who buys construction vehicles arrives in the United States. Without the cooperation of heavy machinery, manpower cannot move the prefabricated bunkers.

The clone going to the United States is still floating on the sea and it will take several weeks to arrive in the United States. Moreover, a lot of concrete and steel bars are consumed in the construction of prefabricated modules. Concrete is easy to deal with, as we can just buy a few more earthen kilns for burning concrete. However, steel bars are very difficult to get, so we have to find a solution.

The third clone is from the special forces team, as can be seen from his height, physique and the large number of weapons he carries.

He placed an MP18 submachine gun in front of Li Qinwu, and took off his five-pack leather magazine bag. He said with a look of resentment: "This gun doesn't work well, the range is not far, and the bullet power is too low. To shoot a Japanese soldier, we must at least make sure to hit the enemy three times.

In addition, the 50-round magazine often jams, its reliability is too poor, and the horizontal magazine often gets caught when running in the jungle. In short, our special forces team does not want to use this weapon anymore. We need stronger and more amazing weapons!

If all else fails, we can buy a batch of German mg08-15 machine guns, which are just a smaller version of the Maxim with a pistol grip. A grip is welded on the water-cooling sleeve. With the physique of our special forces, we can use the gun as an automatic rifle.

In addition, I suggest redesigning a multifunctional carrying device. The leather magazine bag of MP18 is too difficult to use. It is very difficult to recover the empty magazine in a fierce battlefield. Moreover, its functionality is too simple. It can only carry MP18 magazines, but not grenades, medical kits, kettles and knives.

Also, can you think of getting us some bulletproof protective gear?

To be honest, even though our special forces have extraordinary physical fitness and reaction speed, bullets have no eyes on the battlefield, and if we are accidentally hit by a bullet, we will die anyway, so brothers want some protection. "

Li Qinwu thought for a while and said, "Let's talk about changing guns when we get back. For now, you can stick with the MP18s. If that doesn't work, you can switch to Czech light machine guns.

As for the mg08-15, where can I buy this thing for you? I remember that after World War I, this gun was listed as a heavy-hitting gun by the Treaty of Versailles and its production was banned. The guns originally equipped to the German army were confiscated by the victorious countries. I'm afraid you can't even find it to buy in a German trading company.

However, I saw the production line of the Maxim heavy machine gun in the Xiaoyi Arsenal. When this war is over, I will go back and look for it and make a DIY gun for you. It doesn't matter if the quality of the gun you make yourself is not so good. After all, you can repair it if it breaks, and it is also convenient to replenish bullets.

As for carrying equipment, our weapons have not yet been unified. What I mean is that Hu Xiaoming will develop the intermediate-power bullets, and we will design our own automatic weapons to use as standard weapons, and then design carrying equipment based on the automatic weapons.

Your special forces team has a special mission and a small number of people. If it really doesn't work, you should go and contact Li Jin and ask the clothing factory under his control to make a batch for you.

As for protective gear, does anyone know what Kevlar fiber is?"

The people in front of Li Qinwu looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time. How could they know the knowledge that even Li Qinwu didn't know?

When it comes to bulletproof protective gear, Li Qinwu has only heard of Kevlar fiber, ceramic plates, and some polymers.

He couldn't even name all three of these things, let alone how they were produced. The only thing he knew was the ceramic plug plate. From the name, it sounded like a ceramic product? Could it really be that the fired ceramic was used as a bulletproof material?

These things need to be studied further when he returns. He does not have much hope for bulletproof protective gear. Now is the era when full-power bullets are popular. The bulletproof protective gear of later generations seems to have difficulty in resisting full-power bullets. At that time, medium-power bullets were popular. If the bulletproof vests of later generations were taken to the battlefield of World War II, I am afraid that they would need the highest bulletproof levels to be able to withstand them.

The special forces clone scratched his head and said, "I don't think we need to do something so advanced.

Look, our brothers in the highest consumption category have all reached their maximum physical fitness, with a density twice that of ordinary people. It is a bit exaggerated to kill a cow with one punch, but our leader just tried to knock over a horse with one punch. With our strength level, I think we can just get a set of steel plate armor to block the enemy's Type 38 rifle shots."

"Is this... too heavy? Mobility is very important to you. Would wearing too heavy armor reduce your combat effectiveness?"

The special forces clone hurriedly shook his head.

"No, we have tried it. Under the premise of ensuring mobility, we can carry 70kg of weight. We can still walk briskly with 70kg of weight on our shoulders.

Let's think about it. In the future, 30kg will be allocated to weapons, and 40kg will be allocated to protective gear. 40kg of steel plate can at least withstand the attack of the Japanese Type rifle, right?

If you still can't resist, then don't protect your back and limbs, and concentrate your weight on your chest which is easily hit by bullets."

Li Qinwu thought for a moment and nodded.

"Well, in that case, I'll go back and tailor-make a set of steel plate bulletproof armor for your special forces team."
