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

"Glug!"

Commander Liu and Political Commissar Zhang stared blankly at their phones, swallowing hard in unison, both feeling their mouths dry.

They never imagined that a single atomic bomb would destroy or damage 67% of the buildings in Hiroshima.

Furthermore, 14 people were killed, and the rest were affected by radiation, contracting various strange diseases and cancers.

The "Fat Man" atomic bomb that bombed Nagasaki also caused 7.4 deaths.

The total number of casualties is between 20 and 34.

"Destroying the heavens and the earth! It truly is destroying the heavens and the earth!"

Commander Liu said with a complicated expression.

He was happy that so many Japanese soldiers had died or been wounded.

But he was extremely worried that imperialism would acquire such weapons in eight years.

Political Commissar Zhang said, "Fortunately, it will take the US imperialists eight years to master such a super weapon, while Japan has not yet mastered it."

"In these eight years, we must take advantage of the convenience of the future world to make good progress."

"Um!"

Commander Liu nodded.

If Japan or the Axis powers were to acquire nuclear weapons now, it would be catastrophic for China.

Just then, the walkie-talkie next to them suddenly rang.

"Hello, hello! This is Xu... I'm about 9 kilometers away from the base. Please respond if you hear me, please respond if you hear me!"

The three noticed that the walkie-talkie was not as clear as before, but they could still hear what was being said.

"Oh right, I forgot to turn on the repeater."

Xia Weiwei quickly activated the repeater.

Commander Liu picked up the walkie-talkie, pressed the button, and replied, "This is Liu... I have received your message. Shall we continue the test?"

A moment later, Deputy Division Commander Xu's voice came through the walkie-talkie again.

"Haha! These walkie-talkies are really amazing. I'm planning to go about 50 kilometers away to check them out. I'll have to go now!"

After putting down the walkie-talkie, Commander Liu continued to inquire, "Xia, what is the power of this hydrogen bomb?"

"Like atomic bombs, hydrogen bombs are nuclear weapons!"

Xia Weiwei explained, "Because an atomic bomb will self-destruct when it reaches a certain range, fissile materials are strictly controlled, which means that the maximum power of an atomic bomb explosion is 80 tons of TNT equivalent."

"Hydrogen bombs, on the other hand, are not subject to this limitation. They are generally equivalent to several million tons of TNT, with the largest hydrogen bombs even reaching the equivalent of 5000 million tons of TNT."

"hiss!"

Division Commander Liu and Political Commissar Zhang gasped again.

The atomic bomb dropped by the United States on Hiroshima was only equivalent to 15000 tons of TNT, yet it caused such a huge number of casualties.

If a few hundred hydrogen bombs were dropped directly, wouldn't the world be destroyed?

They felt that the future world was very dangerous!

"Commander, I also brought back information about the War of Resistance against Japan and World War II."

Xia Weiwei said with a solemn expression, "This is top secret, concerning our future. So after I show it to you, I must put it back into my storage space to prevent the information from being leaked."

As she spoke, she handed two printed documents to the two men.

"Second World War?"

This was the first time either of them had heard the name.

"The so-called First World War was the European war that began in 1914."

Xia Weiwei said, "The Second World War had a wider impact, involving all major countries in the world, as recorded above."

Division Commander Liu and Political Commissar Zhang quickly bent down to check.

What they saw first was the comparison of troop strength between the two sides.

At the time of the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, the total strength of the Chinese forces was over 170 million, while the Japanese forces numbered 38.

However, the Japanese army also had 73.8 reservists, 87.9 reserve soldiers, and the first and second supplementary troops, totaling 410 million men.

When the war broke out, China had only 223 aircraft, and in less than a year, only 126 remained.

The Japanese army has 960 warplanes, and the navy has 640.

Then there's the naval fleet...

Seeing the vast disparity in combat strength between the two sides, both felt extremely heavy-hearted.

"Damn it, those Japanese devils are inhuman!"

"Damn it, I really want to rip out that damn Emperor's heart and see if it's black or red!"

When the two men saw that Nanjing had fallen and that the Japanese army had slaughtered more than 300,000 unarmed civilians, they were both so angry that they gritted their teeth and their eyes were bloodshot.

Those are 300,000 innocent civilians!

"Chiang Kai-shek wasn't even human!"

Subsequently, the two witnessed Chiang Kai-shek ordering the breaching of the Yellow River dam at Huayuankou, which caused the Yellow River to burst its banks, resulting in the drowning of more than 80 people in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, the displacement of hundreds of millions of people, and the continuous famine and starvation in the Yellow River flood area.

The more they looked, the more indignant they became.

The Japanese devils are beasts, and the Kuomintang are no better than humans.

Despite the Japanese invasion still ongoing, the Kuomintang reactionaries directly attacked the New Fourth Army. In the end, only two thousand men managed to break through the encirclement, while the rest all died heroically.

Furthermore, a faction within the Kuomintang, led by the traitor Wang Jingwei, directly betrayed the country and became traitors.

After reading about the War of Resistance Against Japan, Commander Liu remained silent for a long time before saying, "We must rise up as soon as possible and prevent more of those tragedies from happening. We must not only avenge the Japanese devils, but also guard against the reactionary forces like the Kuomintang!"

"In addition, there are some things we also need to report to the central government."

Upon hearing this, Political Commissar Zhang said, "I'd better go back to northern Shaanxi myself. This matter is too important to handle by telegram, lest the Japanese and the Kuomintang find out. Also, those books and medicines need to be taken to northern Shaanxi!"

Xia Weiwei said, "What about me? Should I also go to northern Shaanxi and show them these things?"

"Comrade Xia, you have more important things to do!"

Commander Liu said, "Didn't you say you could traverse every two days? Your current mission is to procure supplies for us. If you go to northern Shaanxi, who knows when you'll be able to traverse again!"

At present, the Eighth Route Army lacks everything. Now that they have the opportunity to purchase supplies from the future world, they must do so as soon as possible.

Once these necessary supplies arrive, we won't be in such a rush as we are now.

"Yes, sir!"

Xia Weiwei expressed her understanding.

She pointed to the dozen or so large bags of candy and some pork on the ground and said, "Commander, these candies and pork were also donated by Comrade Hongwei to support the revolution. He said that the storage space is too small now, so he can only temporarily provide this as a treat."

"If the storage space can be increased in the future, he will definitely get more meat and grain."

Commander Liu smiled and said, "We appreciate Comrade Hongwei's kindness, and I would like to express my gratitude to him."

"But now is not the time to enjoy ourselves. We hope he can get more radios, telescopes, and various kinds of medicine."

Xia Weiwei nodded: "I'll tell him when I get there."
