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

"50 kilometers?"

Upon hearing this number, Division Commander He nodded and said, "In that case, it really is enough for 20 divisions."

Generally speaking, the defensive width of a regiment is about 5 kilometers, while that of a division is 10-15 kilometers.

Their Eighth Route Army is currently mainly engaged in guerrilla warfare, and their operational range is wider, but 50 kilometers is enough to cover it.

Walkie-talkies, which allow for communication anytime and anywhere, are clearly more suitable for them than radios.

This will greatly enhance their combat capabilities!

"Commanders, please use them freely. You can arrange one repeater station per regiment."

Xia Weiwei said, "If the quantity is not enough, we will continue to purchase more for you!"

She paused, then continued, "My only request is that these things can be burned, smashed, or blown up, but preferably not fall into enemy hands."

"Once captured by the enemy, they will certainly produce more quickly, which will enhance the enemy's combat capabilities."

"Of course, the safety of our soldiers should be the top priority, and we shouldn't be too demanding."

"Because last year, Motorola in the United States developed a vehicle-mounted radio receiver. By 40 years, Motorola will be developing a 2.2-kilogram walkie-talkie for the U.S. Army with a communication range of 1.6 kilometers."

It was precisely because walkie-talkies or radios appeared in the 1930s and 40s that Ma Hongwei asked Xia Weiwei to take them back.

Even on the battlefield of the Korean War, Chinese People's Volunteer Army soldiers used the 702 walkie-talkie for battlefield communication.

Although the walkie-talkies they brought back were much more advanced, it wasn't enough to make people think too much.

"You mean, the Americans have already developed this walkie-talkie? And it will be deployed on a large scale in three years?"

Deputy Division Commander Xu couldn't help but sigh, "The United States' technological strength is truly formidable; they actually developed such a convenient product so early on."

Xia Weiwei said, "At present, American radio receivers can only receive voice messages and cannot send them back. However, it won't be long before they develop a two-way radio."

Deputy Division Commander Nie said angrily, "It's all the fault of the corrupt and incompetent Qing government and the decadent and reactionary warlords. If it weren't for them, we wouldn't have been bullied by the Japanese like this, and we could have been building our motherland and conducting scientific research in peace long ago."

By 37, the United States had only been a nation for 161 years, and they were still fighting a civil war until 1860.

Although the Qing government was also engaged in the Self-Strengthening Movement at the time, what the entire Qing government was most worried about was how to restrict the Han people, and it also hindered the Self-Strengthening Movement in many ways.

This also caused China to miss its best opportunity to rise.

Until the outbreak of the First Sino-Japanese War, Japan was defeated by the Meiji Restoration and forced to cede territory and pay reparations.

The 2 million taels of silver made China even poorer, while Japan received the initial funding for its rise.

The Qing government restricted Han Chinese until its demise, and the final "Imperial Cabinet" completely lost the support of the people, with a large number of constitutionalists turning to the republic.

The United States, in just 72 years since the end of the Civil War, has transformed from a country that was not valued by European powers into the world's most industrialized nation.

Although Japan's chicken industry is far inferior to that of the United States, it still managed to defeat China all the way.

They are filled with righteous indignation whenever they think of these humiliating histories.

If they knew that people in later generations were still praising the Qing Dynasty, they would probably be shot on the spot.

Deputy Division Commander Xu pointed to the briefcase in the corner and asked, "What's inside those two blue boxes?"

"Oh, this!"

Xia Weiwei took the tote bag, opened it, and said, "This is full of zongzi (sticky rice dumplings). It's almost Dragon Boat Festival over there, so Hongwei gave me two boxes."

She opened the box and handed it to everyone, saying, "Gentlemen, please try this zongzi from the future world!"

"No!"

Commander Liu refused outright, saying, "This was specially given to you by Comrade Hongwei; we can't eat it!"

"That's right, that's right!"

Political Commissar Zhang said with a smile, "Xia, don't let Hongwei's good intentions go to waste!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Weiwei blushed instantly.

She tore the boxes open and gave one to each person, saying, "These two big boxes of zongzi are too much for me to finish by myself. They'll go bad if I don't!"

Deputy Division Commander Xu said, "The packaging even has gold foil printing; it looks very expensive!"

"I also think it will cost a lot of money!"

Commander He nodded in agreement.

Deputy Division Commander Nie unwrapped one, took a bite, and exclaimed, "Wow, this zongzi is made with jujubes, it's really sweet!"

"Why is there a salted egg yolk in mine?"

Commander Liu was surprised.

"Mine is minced meat, and it tastes really good!"

Chief of Staff Ni said, "It seems that each of these zongzi has a different flavor. There will be so many more varieties of zongzi in the future! The ones I ate before were just slightly sweetened, and they couldn't compare to these!"

Political Commissar Zhang chuckled and said, "Xia, last time you came you brought canned food, chicken legs, and chicken feet. This time you brought back zongzi (sticky rice dumplings). We're really enjoying the good life thanks to you."

"In other words, there's not enough space right now, so we can only prioritize transporting the essential items!"

Xia Weiwei shook her head: "Otherwise, Hongwei would have bought a lot of grain and canned food and sent them over."

Commander Liu said, "Whether we eat canned food or not doesn't matter. It would be great if we could solve the food problem."

Everyone else nodded in agreement.

Currently, it is nominally a two-party cooperation, but the Kuomintang and Yan Xishan are stingy and have only given very little. They have been delaying other things and making all sorts of excuses.

At this stage, the food for the Eighth Route Army is extremely poor.

If the soldiers don't eat well or get enough to eat, it will naturally affect their ability to fight.

After all, fighting is physically demanding.

Especially for troops without mechanization or horse-drawn transport, everything had to be done on foot.

Political Commissar Zhang casually asked, "Comrade Xia, have you and Comrade Hongwei figured out anything about increasing the storage space?"

"Oh right, I haven't watched it yet!"

After being reminded, Xia Weiwei suddenly remembered and quickly opened the system panel.

[Bound Host]: Xia Weiwei (Female, 22 years old, born in 1915)

Current time and space: 1937.

[Anchoring Time and Space]: 2026.

Storage space: 32 cubic meters (4 meters long, 4 meters wide, 2 meters high, upgradable)

[Time-Space Teleportation Countdown]: 45:52:54

"It really did improve again!"

Xia Weiwei was overjoyed and began to sense the gold bars again.

She discovered that there were only 16 gold bars, each weighing 100 grams, left in the storage space.

In other words, Ma Hongwei's guess was entirely true.

As long as it's gold, you can upgrade your storage space.
