Double-Cut During the War of Resistance: My Wife Came from 1937

Ma Hongwei did not sleep the whole time.

He rested for a few hours before getting up to replace Xia Weiwei.

This is his current girlfriend, and his future wife.

Ma Hongwei definitely felt sorry for the other person and couldn't let them get too tired.

Upon hearing footsteps, Xia Weiwei immediately became alert.

Upon seeing that it was Ma Hongwei, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Why are you up?"

"I've had enough sleep!"

Ma Hongwei said, "Weiwei, why don't you go and get some sleep too?"

"I'm not going!"

Xia Weiwei directly refused.

"Be good, listen to me!"

Ma Hongwei rubbed the other person's head and said slowly, "Look, if I sleep too much now, I won't be able to sleep tomorrow."

"Starting from tomorrow morning, I'll have to stay here for two and a half days."

"If I take your place now, and then I start sleeping again tomorrow morning and sleep until the afternoon, it'll only be two days before you come back!"

"Two days is easy to get through. When my maternal grandfather passed away, my paternal grandmother passed away, and we spent about two days without sleeping."

Hearing Ma Hongwei's words, Xia Weiwei felt that they made some sense.

There is definitely a difference between staying up for two days straight and staying up for two and a half days straight.

"I'm going to rest now, and I'll come to relieve you tomorrow morning!"

……

The next day.

"Buzzing!"

Early on, Xia Weiwei's phone, which was placed to the side, started vibrating.

In order to wake up in time, Xia Weiwei set four or five alarms on her phone.

"woke up?"

Ma Hongwei stretched and said to Xia Weiwei, "There's a washbasin, towel, toothbrush cup, toothbrush, and toothpaste for both of us in the house. You wash up first, and I'll drive to the neighborhood to buy some breakfast!"

Those were all brought back by Xia Weiwei from Ancheng.

"OK!"

Xia Weiwei responded and began washing up.

Ma Hongwei bought two bowls of spicy soup, some steamed buns, tea eggs, and fried vegetable dumplings from a nearby shop.

Xia Weiwei was already waiting in the courtyard, having set up a small folding table.

After breakfast, Ma Hongwei planned to tidy up the table.

Xia Weiwei immediately urged, "I can clear the table, you should go and rest!"

"No rush!"

Ma Hongwei said, "I contacted an air conditioner seller, and he will come to install it in a while. It's so hot in the middle of summer, it's unbearable without air conditioning."

"Yes, we should install an air conditioner!"

Xia Weiwei had also looked into the price of air conditioners, and they weren't considered expensive.

It's about the same price as a regular Yuan Shikai silver dollar.

They still have two and a half boxes of Yuan Shikai silver dollars that they haven't gotten rid of!

"This trip to Peshawar to buy weapons and equipment has almost used up all our money!"

Ma Hongwei said, "When you come back from there, we'll have to process another batch of gold bars and silver dollars."

"OK!"

Xia Weiwei nodded in agreement.

Ma Hongwei waited until the air conditioner was installed and turned on without any problems before going back inside to continue sleeping.

He had already told Xia Weiwei to order takeout herself if she was hungry at noon, and that she didn't need to wake him up.

Ma Hongwei planned to sleep until the afternoon.

……

in the afternoon.

Xia Weiwei arrived at the small house and began to change her clothes.

"Hongwei, wake up, wake up!"

After changing her clothes, Xia Weiwei nudged Ma Hongwei to wake him up.

"Is it time yet?"

Ma Hongwei rubbed his eyes and woke up.

He sat up, ready to put on his slippers.

Xia Weiwei said with a smile, "I'm leaving now. I'll have to trouble you for the next two days!"

"Hmph!"

Ma Hongwei waved his hand and said, "This is to help fight the Japanese. Being a little tired is nothing. The Eighth Route Army soldiers are sacrificing their lives."

"mua~"

Xia Weiwei hugged her lover, kissed him on the cheek, and said, "I've already ordered takeout for you. Remember to pick it up later!"

"OK!"

Ma Hongwei nodded.

After a brief moment of tenderness, the two went to the warehouse together and activated the time-space teleportation.

Goodbye, wait for me to come back!

Xia Weiwei waved goodbye reluctantly, turned around and entered the ripples of time and space, her figure slowly disappearing.

……

Republic of China era.

Inside the adobe house.

Division Commander Liu and Deputy Division Commander Xu were already waiting here.

Deputy Division Commander Xu looked at the bowls and chopsticks on the table and asked, "Old Liu, do you think Comrade Xia will return on time this time?"

"She said she'd be back today, I think she will!"

Commander Liu was also somewhat uncertain: "Even if they don't come back today, it will be tomorrow."

"Whoosh!"

As the two were talking, Xia Weiwei appeared inside the house.

"Phew~"

Upon seeing Xia Weiwei appear, the two leaders secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Commander Liu quickly stood up, smiling broadly, and said, "Comrade Xia, welcome back!"

"Sir, I brought back the bolt-action rifles and bullets first this time."

Xia Weiwei spoke up, "These bolt-action rifles are probably what our Eighth Route Army needs more right now, aren't they?"

"OK!"

Deputy Division Commander Xu nodded and said, "These rifles are indeed exactly what we need."

"We had already consulted with the commanders of the Eighth Route Army headquarters and requested that another infantry regiment be formed."

"We had already gathered the personnel and started training."

"With these guns, they can ditch their spears and machetes and take up arms instead!"

"Half of the men in this infantry regiment are veterans. With veterans mentoring new recruits, they should be able to form combat capability very quickly!"

When Political Commissar Zhang returned, Division Commander Liu dispatched an infantry regiment from the 129th Division to escort him.

This directly reduced their troop strength by more than 2500 men.

At that time, they were contacting and urging the Eighth Route Army headquarters.

It wasn't until the Eighth Route Army used the sulfanilamide that Xia Weiwei transported to exchange for guns and ammunition that the commander-in-chief allowed them to expand their forces.

Besides their 129th Division, the other two divisions are also expanding their forces.

It was only with more troops that the 115th Division was able to spare more than 3,000 men to establish the Jin-Cha-Ji Anti-Japanese Base Area and Military Region.

On their way to the cave, Commander Liu said to Xia Weiwei, "Haha, Comrade Xia, I have good news for you!"

"What good news?"

Xia Weiwei asked, "Could it be that Political Commissar Zhang and the others have arrived in Yan'an?"

"They've already entered northern Shaanxi, they'll be there soon!"

Commander Liu shook his head and said, "It's another piece of good news. Deputy Commander Peng said yesterday that he was coming over, and this time they brought all the gold bars and silver dollars from the Eighth Route Army headquarters!"

"Is General Peng coming?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Weiwei's face lit up with joy.

This general was a veteran of many military campaigns, starting with the Pingjiang Uprising and fighting in numerous battles across the country.

Key battles during the Long March, such as the Battle of Loushan Pass and the Battle of Zheyi, the Eastern and Western Expeditions in northern Shaanxi, the Hundred Regiments Offensive during the War of Resistance Against Japan, and the counter-sweeping operations behind enemy lines.

His most famous role was as the commander of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army, where he led five campaigns in the Korean War and defeated the United States, one of the world's superpowers at the time.

Xia Weiwei naturally hoped to meet such a person.

Xia Weiwei sighed inwardly, "It's a pity Hongwei isn't here, otherwise he would be overjoyed!"
