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

"Too much, absolutely too much!"

When Chief of Staff Ni looked at the piles of goods, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

I had only heard about it before, but when I actually saw it, I was still extremely shocked.

This is hundreds of tons of supplies, occupying more than 2,000 cubic meters of space.

Looking at the military green mattress, Chief of Staff Ni went up and touched it, exclaiming with admiration, "A mattress with three pounds of cotton, it feels so thick!"

What did they lay down before?

It was just some dry grass and straw, with cotton clothes laid underneath.

The cadres and female comrades were in slightly better condition, but the cotton used for their cotton quilts was less than 2 jin (1 catties).

Chief of Staff Ni opened one cardboard box after another, each containing different items.

There are Daokou roast chicken, Sichuan pepper chicken, Xiangbalao braised eggs, braised pork liver, and braised dried chicken, among other dishes.

Most importantly, all of these are in plastic packaging.

Xia Weiwei said, "Commander, those pig livers and chicken livers can alleviate night blindness, so the soldiers can eat them together."

"OK."

Chief of Staff Ni nodded.

They knew that animal organs could treat night blindness.

But in their mountain bases, there aren't that many animal offal to eat.

Even if you wipe out all the wild animals, it won't be enough for them to eat a few times.

Therefore, their base mainly relied on carrots.

Wherever they go, they plant carrots.

"I didn't release those pork pieces."

Xia Weiwei said, "I'm afraid if I release it now, it will start to thaw. Let's wait until they come before taking it out!"

……

the other side.

A village in the mountainous area on the front line.

This is the temporary encampment of the Independent Regiment directly under the 115th Division.

Since the establishment of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region, the Independent Regiment has been under its jurisdiction.

After a large-scale expansion, the independent regiment, which initially had only 1700 people, is now a super independent regiment with 5000 people.

With such a large number of people, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a brigade.

After all, when the Eighth Route Army was first established, a brigade only had a little over 5,000 men, and at most 6,000.

Regiment Commander Yang, Chief of Staff Xiong, and Political Commissar Luo Yuanfa were discussing combat matters.

In front of each of them was an open thermos.

Nowadays, stainless steel thermos cups and German-style aluminum mess kits have become standard equipment for them.

Suddenly, a commotion arose outside, and then Deputy Regiment Commander Huang walked in.

"Old Huang, have you brought back all the supplies?"

Seeing this, Commander Yang asked with a smile, "How many guns did you bring back this time?"

"Commander Nie has allocated us 1300 bolt-action rifles (Type 53 carbines) and 700 semi-automatic rifles (Type 56 semi-automatic rifles)!"

黄副团长讲道：「另外还有8挺重机枪（PKM）、15挺RPK轻机枪、20门60毫米迫击炮、10门82毫米迫击炮，子弹和炮弹也都够多。」

"hiss!"

Upon hearing this, Political Commissar Luo Yuanfa couldn't help but exclaim, "So many guns! That's enough to form another regiment. It seems Commander Nie really wants our Independent Regiment to become an Independent First Division!"

An Eighth Route Army regiment typically has around 2000 men, and their Independent Regiment previously had fewer than 2000 men.

They've already been given 2000 rifles, plus light and heavy machine guns and mortars, enough to expand their independent regiment to over 8000 men.

If you add the county brigade's guerrilla forces, their numbers would definitely exceed ten thousand.

Regiment Commander Yang said in a deep voice, "Since Commander Nie values ​​us so much, we must fight the Japanese devils well!"

The others nodded in agreement.

A scholar will die for one who understands him!

Commander Nie has trained them so well, they naturally cannot let him down.

"Oh, right, Commander!"

Deputy Regiment Commander Huang began, "This time, Commander Nie also asked me to bring back some secret weapons!"

"What secret weapon?"

Chief of Staff Xiong asked curiously, "Stop keeping me in suspense and tell me already!"

"Those are some sniper rifles!"

Deputy Commander Huang answered directly.

"A sniper rifle?"

Everyone was puzzled upon hearing this.

They had heard of this type of gun, but had never seen it before.

"Commander, Political Commissar, you'll see when you come with me!"

As he spoke, Deputy Regiment Commander Huang led everyone away from the house.

They arrived at a warehouse where guns and ammunition were stored.

Upon entering the room, Deputy Regiment Commander Huang opened a box and took out an SVD Dragunov sniper rifle.

"Commander, Political Commissar!"

Deputy Regiment Commander Huang introduced the rifle to everyone: "This is called something like the SVD sniper rifle. It's equipped with a 4x scope and is also a semi-automatic rifle. It can hold 10 rounds of ammunition at a time. You can fire one shot by pulling the trigger without pulling the bolt."

"Moreover, this aiming telescope comes with a rangefinder scale, which allows you to read the distance directly from the scale. It also has a horizontal windage scale and a low-light fluorescent dot, so its recognition ability is very strong even in low light."

"The Type 38 rifle's lethality is only about 400 meters, but this SVD uses the 7.62*54R full-power round, which can still be lethal at 800 meters."

Upon hearing this, Commander Yang remarked with considerable emotion, "So, this sniper rifle is quite impressive!"

They had previously heard their superiors mention the Japanese Type 97 sniper rifle, which was essentially a Type 38 rifle with a 2.5x scope.

Based on the data just mentioned by Deputy Regiment Commander Huang, the difference between the two sniper rifles is enormous.

Political Commissar Luo said, "Previously, when the leaders ordered us to form a sharpshooter squad, they could only use Type 56 semi-automatic rifles. With these sniper rifles, the soldiers in the sharpshooter squad will be much more accurate!"

At this point, he looked at Commander Yang and said, "Commander, how about we call those sharpshooter squads over now, issue them sniper rifles, and let them get used to them beforehand?"

"Can!"

Regiment Commander Yang nodded and said to Chief of Staff Xiong, "In that case, let Old Xiong go and call over their sharpshooters first!"

"Commander, don't rush!"

Deputy Head of Delegation Huang said, "I haven't finished my introduction yet!"

"Is there anything else to introduce?"

Commander Yang asked, "Are there any other sniper rifles?"

"Yes!"

Deputy Regiment Commander Huang said, "Commander Nie said that the Japanese general Seishiro Itagaki is currently within our operational range, so he specifically gave us three special rifles and instructed us to eliminate him at all costs!"

"Old Huang!"

Upon hearing this, Political Commissar Luo Yuanfa couldn't help but frown and say, "That guy Itagaki is hiding in the city. Even if he comes to the position, he won't get too close to the front line. Unless we use artillery, it will be difficult to hit him, right?"
