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

Several military vehicles crossed the highway and left Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan.

The bearded officer had originally planned to host a grand banquet for Ma Hongwei in Islamabad.

But Ma Hongwei refused, finding an excuse to do so.

There was no other way; he had a weak stomach since childhood and really didn't want to gamble with his health.

If they get sick and it delays the transport of guns and ammunition, that would be terrible.

After all, Xia Weiwei is currently on her period and needs to rest, not go around causing trouble.

"Thank you all for your kindness. I'll have some Chinese snacks to fill my stomach."

Although Ma Hongwei did not go, he shared some of the food he brought with these people.

Then, he took out some rupees and handed them to the bearded officer: "Thank you all for taking the time to pick me up. Here, have some tea!"

If someone offers to treat you to a meal, it's definitely not their own money.

Since he rejected their kindness, he naturally needs to make amends.

"Thank you, Boss Ma!"

The bearded officer did not refuse.

"Thank you, boss!"

After receiving the money, the others became noticeably more enthusiastic.

……

More than two hours later, the vehicle exited the highway and arrived in Peshawar.

They still took Ma Hongwei to the same hotel as before.

After checking in, the bearded officer said, "Boss Ma, please rest and have something to eat. We can talk more later!"

"good!"

Ma Hongwei nodded and returned to his room.

He first used the kettle he brought from China to boil a pot of mineral water, then climbed over the wall and started a video call with Xia Weiwei.

"Ding ding dong!"

The video call was made almost immediately, and Xia Weiwei answered.

Xia Weiwei asked, "Honey, where are you?"

"arrive!"

Ma Hongwei nodded and said, "Don't worry about me, I'm at the hotel now!"

"I was planning to send you a video after I got here, but I didn't expect them to send someone to pick me up!"

"There were too many people around at the time, so I didn't video call you."

Xia Weiwei smiled and said, "It's okay, we can get in touch now."

After chatting for a while, Ma Hongwei waved his hand and said, "Alright, that's enough for now, I'm going to eat!"

After hanging up the phone, Ma Hongwei quickly ate something.

"Knock knock knock!"

A short while later, there was a knock on the door.

"Snap!"

Ma Hongwei did not open the door immediately, but first looked through the peephole.

Outside stood the bearded officer.

After confirming the person's identity, he opened the door and invited, "Please come in!"

"Sir, this is the weight and quantity of the guns we currently possess!"

The bearded officer took the tablet, found a form, and handed it to Ma Hongwei, saying, "Take a look at this. It has a batch of Type 53 rifles on it. I wonder if you need them, Boss Ma?"

"Type 53 rifle?"

Ma Hongwei, who had previously researched a lot of information about this gun, naturally knew about it.

This type of rifle is a non-automatic rifle produced by China in imitation of the Soviet Mosin-Nagant M1944 carbine.

It was also the first domestically produced standard rifle equipped by the soldiers of the Chinese People's Liberation Army.

This firearm is shorter and lighter than a regular rifle.

Due to its simple structure and ease of mass production, 85.7 units were produced in less than five years. They were used in the Korean War and the Sino-Indian War, and have excellent reliability and cold resistance.

In the 1960s and 70s, it was distributed on a large scale to the grassroots militia, and a small portion was exported as military aid.

This type of firearm is slow to fire and consumes far fewer bullets than the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle and Type 56 assault rifle, making it perfect for the Eighth Route Army in another time and space.

"Yes, I want it!"

Ma Hongwei nodded and asked, "How many do you have?"

"20000 units!"

The bearded officer stated, "They are all original products, not imitations."

"So many?"

Ma Hongwei said with some surprise, "But I remember that these guns were discontinued in the 60s. After all these years, can they still be used? Don't give me a pile of junk."

Don't worry!

The bearded officer patted his chest and assured him, "We've inspected all these guns, and cleaned and maintained them for you. There's absolutely no problem."

Ma Hongwei asked, "Then what is the price of these Type 53 rifles?"

"The price is very affordable!"

The bearded officer chuckled and said, "One costs only 550 yuan!"

"550 yuan?"

Ma Hongwei thought to himself, "This price is really cheap; 20000 units only cost 1100 million yuan."

Ma Hongwei's only worry was that he might buy back unusable junk.

Ma Hongwei said, "I want all of these rifles and cavalry!"

The bearded officer then asked, "We also have 10,000 Type 56 semi-automatic rifles this time, each costing 650. Do you want them?"

"I remember last time, didn't they not have the 56 anymore? And the price was even cheaper?"

Ma Hongwei couldn't help but think to himself, "Could they have gone to China to buy these goods?"

Perhaps only China could provide so many of the old standard firearms.

However, he didn't ask, as all he wanted was the weapon.

马红伟看了眼平板上面，发现又多了500门60毫米迫击炮，200门82毫米迫击炮，以及50门120毫米重型迫击炮。

Ma Hongwei said directly, "I want all of these mortars!"

The bearded officer asked, "Boss, would you like a Soviet-made RPG-7 rocket launcher?"

"What's the price?"

Ma Hongwei asked, "If the price is right, I'll buy it."

"Original, second-hand, and intact ones cost 4000 yuan each, while brand new replicas cost 1350 yuan each."

The bearded officer said, "Ordinary armor-piercing rounds are 800 yuan each; thermobaric/high-explosive rounds are 1200 yuan each; and tandem armor-piercing rounds are 2000 yuan each."

"hiss!"

Ma Hongwei never expected that the price of the rocket grenade would be higher than that of the imitation rocket launcher!

"want!"

Ma Hongwei thought for a moment and said, "Give me 120 original second-hand rocket launchers first, 600 rounds each of ordinary armor-piercing rounds, thermobaric rounds, and high-explosive rounds, and 240 rounds of tandem armor-piercing rounds."

This rocket launcher is also a guerrilla weapon; you can fire one shot and run away.

Previously, the mortars that Ma Hongwei bought were difficult to hit the Japanese tanks, but this RPG-7 rocket launcher is a weapon specifically designed to target tanks.

Even ordinary armor-piercing shells were able to penetrate all of the Japanese tanks at the time from the front.

It can also penetrate 1.5-meter-thick brick walls and 80 millimeters of concrete.

High-explosive and thermobaric weapons, on the other hand, could inflict great casualties on Japanese soldiers.

With this, attacking enemy machine gun positions, bunkers, and bridgeheads will be much easier.
