Anti-Japanese War, weapons designer at Fengtian Arsenal

Li Qinwu had previously seized nearly a hundred 240mm artillery shells at the Fengtian Arsenal. These shells had no fuses, and he did not have a 240mm artillery, so he could only use these shells as roadside bombs.

Each of these things weighs 170kg, and the destructive power of the explosion can be imagined. He plans to use these shells to deal a big blow to Zhang Haipeng's troops.

It was already late at night, and the bandits who were wandering around returned to their tents to sleep. Moreover, God was helpful and it started snowing, as if to help Li Qinwu with his next action.

Li Jianfeng and other special forces members took advantage of the cover of night and snow and moved around Tailai County, looking for large houses or tents with a large number of people, stopping in an empty corner, and then calling for Li Qinwu.

Li Qinwu would then open a portal, send out a 240mm shell, and then place a 10kg explosive pack next to the shell, leaving a clone standing next to the shell waiting for the order to pull the fuse.

More than 10 minutes later, 50 artillery shells were evenly distributed in Tailai County. Li Qinwu originally wanted to get more out, but the 10kg explosive packs had been used up. It was probably a bit risky to use a small thing like a grenade to detonate 240mm artillery shells. Anyway, he felt that the 50 240mm artillery shells distributed everywhere were enough to send these traitors to heaven, so he stopped this crazy action.

After placing the bomb, Li Qinwu activated mind sharing and ordered the clones squatting beside the bomb to pull the fuse. 50 clones pulled the fuse on the explosive pack at the same time.

The fuse was modified and set with a 5-minute delay, which gave Li Qinwu time to open the portal and pick up the clones one by one.

After completing all this, Li Qinwu appeared at the mortar position in the south of Tailai County. There were 5 mortars, two Liao-style Maxims, and more than 300 people on this mortar position, equipped with 30 Czech light machine guns and MP18 submachine guns.

Li Qinwu held a telescope in his hand and stared at Tailai County.

At this time, Tailai County was pitch black, with a light snow falling from the sky. Everyone went into their houses to sleep, looking peaceful.

Suddenly, Li Qinwu's eyes were stung by a flash of light. It was a violent flash produced by the explosion of explosives. It was followed by dense flashes of light, and then a series of earth-shattering explosions. The ground rumbled and shook, causing Li Qinwu to gasp unconsciously.

50 240mm artillery shells plus 10kg of explosive packs, nearly 9000 kilograms of explosives, exploded, instantly causing a devastating blow to Zhang Haipeng's troops.

The explosion of a 240mm artillery shell can tear apart at least four houses centered on the explosion point. Zhang Haipeng's troops are large in number and housing is tight. Many people are crowded in each house. The explosion of this artillery shell can kill at least 4 to people, and at most to people.

Some bandits and traitors are lucky. They die without knowing anything and can be considered to have slept through their entire lives.

But those who were a little further away from the explosion point were in a miserable state. Their internal organs were shattered by the shock wave of the bomb. The intense pain made them jump up from the bed with a roar, stagger a few steps, fall down and start convulsing. These people were the most miserable and would bleed to death within the next half hour to an hour.

The explosion destroyed a large number of houses and took away countless lives. Many bricks and tree trunks were blown off, and a large amount of debris that could not be identified was launched into the sky. 50 large pits appeared in Tailai County with the explosion point as the center, and hundreds of houses were completely destroyed or collapsed.

Li Qinwu was extremely shocked by this scene. The explosives made by humans represent the power of industry. The explosion of large amounts of explosives made Li Qinwu unconsciously praise industry.

But he didn't have time to appreciate it. He shouted to a clone who was controlling the mortar beside him: "Fire!"

The clone picked up a cannonball and stuffed it into the barrel. The cannonball slid to the bottom of the barrel. With a muffled bang, the cannonball was fired, flew in the air for a long time, drew a large arc and landed in Tailai County where flames were burning.

As soon as he opened fire, artillery pieces on other positions fired at the same time. 48 mortars made muffled bangs and fired 4kg of high-explosive ammunition into Tailai County.

The 81mm mortar owned by Li Qinwu is a Liao 11-year mortar manufactured by the Shenyang Arsenal. It can fire 15 shells per minute. However, because the clones have the ability to share minds and cooperate well, the firing rate can be increased to 20 rounds per minute, or one round every 3 seconds.

In just a moment, dense mortar shells fell into Tailai County, and loud explosions sounded.

The mortar has been pre-aimed. Its accuracy is not very good. Just aim at a place where there are many people and keep throwing shells there. The scattered shells will kill everyone around.

This artillery knowledge was passed on to everyone by an incarnation named Li Dapao, who also came from the Yunnan Military Academy. However, he was not appreciated by Long Yun like Li Jun was. He only achieved relatively good results in the Artillery Academy and was awarded the rank of sergeant.

At this time, Li Dapao was operating a 75mm cannon and fired a shot at a house, blowing a big hole in the house and sending away seven or eight traitors hiding inside.

There were only six 75mm field guns, and at this time these six guns were firing at full power, bombarding Tailai County continuously. Direct-fire guns were good at demolishing houses. They had to demolish all the houses within their visual range little by little, eroding the enemy's hiding space.

At this time, the bandits in Tailai County had been completely confused. The explosion of 50 240mm shells was enough to wipe out their morale. Now a dense rain of shells fell from the sky, causing them heavy casualties.

At this time, the consequences of Zhang Haipeng's troops' chaotic camping were revealed. The officers tried to find their soldiers, but now the situation was so chaotic, with dead bodies everywhere, fleeing soldiers running everywhere, and explosions everywhere. How could they possibly find their soldiers?

Some officers wanted to gather a random troop to integrate them, but no one obeyed the order. Some officers shouted and screamed to restore order and pull the fleeing soldiers, but they were shot to death by the fleeing soldiers.

Some officers had guards with them. He organized the guards to rush out and tried to escape into the wilderness. However, as soon as they rushed out of Tailai County, a large amount of gunfire suddenly exploded in the darkness, and these guys were instantly beaten into minced meat by the firepower shot from the darkness.

The clones used light and heavy machine guns as a fulcrum and had already set up encirclement positions, aiming at every gap in Tailai County where the large force could break out, determined to keep this group of traitors and bandits in Tailai County.

With the sound of gunfire, cannon fire, screams and explosions, Tailai County has completely turned into a hell. Li Qinwu put down the telescope, rubbed his chin, and thought to himself, this old traitor Zhang Haipeng should not be able to survive.

However, the truth is that the old bastard Zhang Haipeng not only did not die, but he was not even injured.

Zhang Haipeng was a coward. Tailai County was less than 30 km away from the Nenjiang front line, and it was not impossible for the enemy to get here and launch an attack. Therefore, he chose a landlord's compound and slept in the cellar.

He did this not only to guard against the enemy, but also to guard against his own people. He surrendered to Japan too quickly, and many officers became traitors before they had time to react, so many of his officers hated him.

At that time, the clones were groping in the dark looking for a place to place the shells. One of the clones found a house next to Zhang Haipeng and placed a shell in the corner of the wall.

When the shell exploded, it instantly turned the house with the courtyard into ruins and sent one of Zhang Haipeng's guards into the sky. Unfortunately, most of the blast wave was blocked by the house, and by the time Zhang Haipeng was there, the area had been greatly reduced, and only the house above the cellar was shattered.

The earthquake caused by the explosion woke Zhang Haipeng up. He was so scared that he screamed and fell off the bed.

"Guards! Guards!"

Zhang Haipeng howled loudly. He didn't know what happened, but he guessed that the loud noise was caused by artillery fire. He thought it was Ma Zhanshan coming across the river to attack him. He was so scared that he wanted to run for his life immediately.

He was in such a hurry that he had no time to put on his clothes. He turned over, put on his long leather boots, put on a large military coat, and walked to the exit of the cellar with his big body exposed and pushed hard.

But he couldn't push the cellar door open no matter what he did, and he started screaming in panic.

"Someone is coming! Someone is coming!!"

Although he was in the cellar at this time, he could vaguely hear the rumbling sound of the shells exploding. The old traitor was so anxious that he was about to cry. He pushed the cellar door even harder, but it wouldn't open.

When he was extremely anxious and didn't know what to do, he suddenly heard the sound of bricks being dug above his head, and someone shouting "Hurry up, hurry up" or something like that.

He immediately grasped the last straw and shouted loudly: "I'm here! I'm Zhang Haipeng! Take me out, take me out!"

The people outside heard his voice and urged him even louder.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Dig! The commander is still alive!"

Zhang Haipeng jumped for joy. He now understood that it must be the previous explosion that blew up the house on top of the cellar and buried him.

"Take me out now! I'll give you high positions when I get out! I'll give you high positions one by one!"

When the people outside heard his promise, they actually excavated a lot faster. After a crackling sound, the wooden door of the cellar was smashed open with the butt of a gun, and Zhang Haipeng finally saw the light of day again.

Zhang Haipeng was pulled out of the cellar by a serious traitor. He was immediately delighted. He looked at the 10 or so dusty traitor soldiers around him and shouted: "Good job! You are all good! Reward! You all get to go back..."

Before he could finish his words, a mortar shell landed outside the yard. With a loud bang, a large amount of rubble was shot up and a large number of traitors around Zhang Haipeng were knocked down.

It’s not known whether Zhang Haipeng was lucky or unlucky. He was hit on the butt by a flying brick, and his entire butt was split into eight pieces. He howled and fell to the ground, twisting his body.
