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

"Long live the great unity of the people of the world!"

Commissar Luo nodded and said, "The vast number of oppressed working people around the world should indeed unite to overthrow imperialism and the exploiting classes!"

"Yes, only by overthrowing imperialism and the tyrants who oppress the people can people live a good life."

Commander Liu nodded in agreement.

They all grew up in the old society and witnessed too many workers and ordinary people being oppressed and exploited.

It was precisely because they wanted to change the status of ordinary people that they chose to embark on the path of revolution.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

As the sound of salutes echoed through the sky, the leaders once again turned their attention to the computer screen.

They saw soldiers firing salutes in perfect unison, their movements so synchronized, it was as if they were made from the same mold.

"Is this our artillery unit?"

Deputy Division Commander Xu couldn't help but exclaim, "Their movements are so synchronized; how many shells must they have fired to train like that?"

At this moment, the National Flag Guard, carrying a five-star red flag, marched with vigorous steps from the Monument to the People's Heroes toward the flag-raising area.

"Tap! Tap! Tap!"

They stood in perfect formation, each row and column moving in unison. The bayonets on the long spears they carried gleamed with a chilling light, and each of them had bright, sharp eyes.

"Are these our soldiers?"

Upon seeing this, Deputy Commander Peng couldn't help but praise, "This is truly excellent training! Their marching is even better than that of the Soviet soldiers!"

"However, he lacks a murderous aura!"

Deputy Division Commander Xiao said, "If they added any more killing intent, they would truly be a tiger and wolf army!"

Commander Liu said, "Didn't Comrade Xia say that the new China hasn't fought a war for many years, so naturally it lacks the killing intent that can only be honed on the battlefield?"

"stand at attention!"

As soon as the order was given, the flag bearers ascended the flag-raising platform, and the sound of the cannons ceased.

"Raise the national flag and sing the national anthem!"

When the PLA Joint Military Band played the majestic "March of the Volunteers," the flag bearers immediately raised the national flag high.

Upon seeing this, the leaders put down their bowls and chopsticks, straightened their clothes and hats, stood up, and stared intently at the rising national flag.

The same applies to Ma Hongwei and Xia Weiwei.

"Arise! Ye who refuse to be slaves!"

"Let our flesh and blood build our new Great Wall!"

"The Chinese nation has reached its most perilous moment."

"Everyone was forced to let out their final roar."

"Arise! Arise! Arise!"

"We are united as one."

"Advance amidst enemy fire!"

"Advance amidst enemy fire!"

"go ahead!"

"Forward! Advance!"

And they sang the national anthem along with the music.

This song was created 35 years ago and quickly spread throughout the country, inspiring the Chinese people to fight bravely against the Japanese invasion.

The leaders, of course, could also sing.

Listening to the stirring melody, and looking at everyone on the city wall and in front of the square, singing the national anthem in unison, their eyes had turned red at some point, and their expressions were extremely excited.

……

The standard-bearers took their positions, the military band sounded the parade bugle, and the parade finally began.

The first to be reviewed was the aerial flag-bearing formation, consisting of 45 helicopters that escorted the Party flag, the national flag, and the military flag, which fluttered in the skies above Beijing.

"Wow, so many airplanes!"

As Deputy Division Commander Xu watched the planes fly over the city wall, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Comrade Hongwei, why do these planes look different from the ones we've seen before?"

The planes they saw had propellers either in front of the wings or in the nose, but these were all overhead.

"That's called a helicopter!"

Ma Hongwei explained: "Helicopters were first developed in the late 1930s and mass-produced in the 1940s. They can take off directly without the need to build runways, but their speed is not as fast as jet fighters."

"They have many uses on the battlefield, such as transporting supplies and personnel, conducting reconnaissance and infiltration behind enemy lines, providing communications and medical assistance, and can also be armed to provide fire support."

"A helicopter?"

Upon hearing this, all the leaders kept the word in mind.

Looking at the helicopters, Ma Hongwei said to the group of leaders, "A grand military parade was also held at the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China in 49."

"At that time, our Chinese Air Force had not yet been formally established, and only 17 aircraft participated in the founding ceremony."

"In order to make the show more impressive, the first nine Mustangs had to complete the inspection and then fly around once more, so that there would be a total of 26 aircraft being inspected."

"Now that our motherland is strong, we no longer need to fly twice."

Hearing Ma Hongwei's words, everyone exclaimed with emotion, "It's truly remarkable that our country has been able to develop to such a advanced state!"

Next, 13 marching formations were reviewed.

Having already witnessed the National Flag Guard before, they had become somewhat immune to such a well-organized force and were no longer as shocked as they had been when they first saw it.

The melody shifted, transforming into a somber march of steel torrents.

With battle flags fluttering and iron torrents rolling, the steel torrent belonging to the new China began to emerge under the leadership of the battle flag formation.

The ground assault formation included Type 99B tanks, Type 100 tanks, and Type 100 support vehicles.

"Tanks! Tanks from our China!"

Deputy Division Commander Xiao shouted with immense excitement.

Ma Hongwei explained, "That's our Chinese Type 99B tank. Its main gun is a 125mm smoothbore cannon, which can penetrate 960mm of homogeneous steel at a distance of 2000 meters and can also fire missiles."

"Frontal protection is equivalent to 1100 mm of composite armor, equipped with laser suppression and optional hard-kill active defense."

"The fire control system uses third-generation thermal imaging, with a nighttime detection range of 3000 meters, enabling high-speed firing at targets during operations."

"It is equipped with an 1800-horsepower diesel engine and can reach a top speed of 75 kilometers per hour on the highway."

"Whether it's the Type 94 light tank, the Type 95 light tank, or the Type 89 medium tank, none of them are its match. Just one of them can defeat an entire Japanese tank battalion."

"That's incredible!"

刘师长忍不住感慨道：「像日军的九四式豆战车，装甲才6-12毫米，全重3.4吨；九五式也不过是12-25毫米均质铆接钢，主炮才37毫米。」

"The difference between these two is like heaven and earth!"

Deputy Division Commander Xu looked at Ma Hongwei and asked, "Comrade Hongwei, if the Type 99B is this powerful, what about the Type 100 tank?"

"I don't know that data."

Ma Hongwei shook his head and said, "That's the most advanced tank. There's only data that others are speculating about. As for the actual data, you can't find it anywhere outside."
