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

马红伟继续念道：「这次我们还买回来500门60毫米的迫击炮，200门82毫米的迫击炮，50门120毫米的重型迫击炮，外加200具RPG-7火箭筒。」

"My goodness! That's another 750 mortars!"

Chief of Staff Ni swallowed hard, then exclaimed in surprise, "Especially the 120mm heavy mortars, there are a full 50 of them!"

"During the last night raid on Quyang train station, if it weren't for that 120mm mortar that breached all the Japanese bunkers, our casualties would have been much higher!"

"With such a large number of heavy mortars, I imagine the two commanders-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army headquarters won't take them all; they'll definitely allocate some to each of our three main divisions."

"In this way, our three main divisions will have real artillery battalions, or even artillery regiments!"

As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked, "What's that RPG rocket launcher?"

"Sir, this RPG-7 rocket launcher is the weapon I was talking about specifically designed to deal with tanks!"

Ma Hongwei recounted: "The most basic armor-piercing rounds of this rocket launcher could penetrate and pierce a 260mm homogeneous copper plate, and no Japanese tank could stop them."

"Even the 25mm frontal armor of the Type 97 tanks that the Japanese army will equip next year will not be able to stop it."

"Because its penetrating power is too strong, it might pierce right through you, so you must aim it at the driver's cab or the fuel tank."

"Regarding this, I have already downloaded and printed out the blueprints for those Japanese tanks and armored vehicles, which can be shown to the operators later."

"I brought 600 armor-piercing shells this time. Even if it takes 3 shells to destroy one Japanese tank, it can still destroy 200 tanks."

Upon hearing Ma Hongwei's words, Chief of Staff Ni couldn't help but exclaim, "Too strong, absolutely too strong!"

The Japanese tanks, which could only be stopped by blowing up their tracks, were actually penetrated by these ordinary armor-piercing shells.

Moreover, the Japanese army only deployed a total of 180 tanks across the entire North China battlefield, and in the Battle of Xinkou, only 45-60 tanks were deployed to the front lines.

The Japanese tanks in North China were simply not enough to fight them off.

"This RPG-7 rocket launcher can not only shoot down tanks, but also enemy bunkers and trenches."

Ma Hongwei said, "I also brought 600 thermobaric rounds, which can clear out the Japanese troops in earthen bunkers, trenches, and tunnels. We can just fire directly at the Japanese machine gun bunkers."

"As for the tandem armor-piercing rounds, there are only 240 rounds. Do not use these against tanks; they are specifically designed for heavy reinforced concrete bunkers."

"In addition to these, I also brought 400 million rounds of 7.62x39mm ammunition."

"120 million rounds of 7.62*54mm full-power ammunition. These are original factory-produced bullets for use in heavy machine guns and SVD sniper rifles."

"180 million rounds of homemade 7.62x54mm full-power ammunition. This can be used with Type 53 rifles, Mosin-Nagant rifles, and similar weapons!"

「还有30万发5.56*45毫米子弹，40万发7.62*63毫米子弹，100万发7.92毫米子弹，100万发6.5毫米子弹。」

"1200 rounds of M33 steel-core ammunition, specifically for Barrett and McMillan; 600 rounds of M8 armor-piercing incendiary ammunition, specifically for Barrett, not for McMillan."

马红伟顿了顿，继续念道：「还有40000发60毫米迫击炮弹，10000发82毫米迫击炮弹，3000发120毫米重型迫击炮弹。」

"This time, we brought a total of 970 million rounds of ammunition, 1800 rounds of anti-material sniper rifle ammunition, 53000 rounds of artillery shells, and 2040 rockets."

"So many?!"

Upon hearing this, Chief of Staff Ni couldn't help but gasp.

That's way too many!

Even for the Japanese army, that many bullets would be enough to arm two and a half divisions.

But for the Eighth Route Army, that would be enough for even more soldiers.

After all, they had always lacked everything, especially guns and ammunition.

Many soldiers didn't even have guns and could only use broadswords and spears.

Even the soldiers with guns could only wait until the enemy got close before firing, and after firing one or two shots, it would turn into a bayonet fight.

Although he knew beforehand that Ma Hongwei and Xia Weiwei had transported a lot of guns and ammunition.

At that time, it was Commander Liu and Deputy Commander Xu who were in charge, while he was mainly recuperating from his injuries and helping with military affairs.

It wasn't until Commander Liu arranged for me to come here that I realized how truly terrifying Ma Hongwei and Xia Weiwei were.

If the two of them were to transport weapons and ammunition 100 times, wouldn't they be able to form hundreds of infantry divisions?

With these hundreds of infantry divisions, they will be able to fight large-scale battles and campaigns against the Japanese army, and even directly recover the four provinces of Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong and Henan, as well as the lost territories in Mongolia and Northeast China.

By then, they will not only be able to drive out the Japanese army and occupy the industry in Northeast China, but they will also gain their own military factories and be able to directly engage in a decisive battle with the Kuomintang.

Once they have unified all of China, they will also destroy the Japanese and exterminate their race, killing all those damned emperors and the ringleaders of all the criminals who started the war.

Of course, he was just thinking about it!

In reality, forming 100 divisions is not that easy at all.

To make the military combat-ready, it is essential to have a sufficient number of officers, cadres, and veterans.

If they were all green recruits, even if they were equipped with such good weapons, they would just be sent to the battlefield to get themselves killed.

"It seems I need to talk to those guys and tell them to continue expanding their base, and preferably capture more county towns!"

Chief of Staff Ni thought to himself, "In this way, we can not only have enough soldiers, but also recruit more knowledgeable and learned people."

Their original plan was to establish a firm foothold and then gradually expand their base.

Currently, their military strength is increasing, and they have naturally established a firm foothold.

However, we still have too few bases and need to expand them.

With enough base areas, they could gain a larger mass base, develop more guerrilla units, and thus attack a wider range of Japanese transportation and troop transport lines.

The War of Resistance Against Japan was a war fought by all the Chinese people. Relying solely on the army to defeat the Japanese army would have been far more difficult.
