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

"Father, Mother, and brothers, I will come to find you after the War of Resistance against Japan is over!"

Xia Weiwei gripped the letter tightly with her slender fingers, thinking to herself.

Although she longed to see her parents again after reading the letter.

But Xia Weiwei knew that she had an even more important mission.

If the Time-Space Panel hadn't selected her, she would never have survived the fall.

I fear that even my own body will become food for wild animals in the mountains.

Heaven chose her, gave her another chance to live, and even allowed her to travel to the future world, so naturally she had to make achievements.

In Xia Weiwei's view, her main task now is to transport more supplies from the future world to this world to support the war of resistance.

As for going to the mountain city, the journey is too far and a waste of time.

After all, airplanes in this era wouldn't be for an ordinary person like her.

They certainly wouldn't give a seat to the Eighth Route Army.

Of course, even if you are given a seat, the price is outrageously expensive.

In the 1930s, an airplane ticket from Beijing to Tianjin cost 180 silver dollars.

A one-way trip from Beijing to Shanghai cost 2000 silver dollars.

Back then, even the president of Peking University needed three and a half months' salary to sit there once.

Of course, this was only in theory. In reality, salaries were never fully paid, and many teachers only received one-tenth of their salaries.

Because of salary issues, Tsinghua and Peking University students have participated in numerous protests and demonstrations.

If she didn't fly to the mountain city, the time required would be enough for Xia Weiwei to travel between the two worlds many times.

Anyway, her family is in the mountain city, so they are safe for the time being.

"Phew~"

Xia Weiwei took a deep breath, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and slowly stood up.

She folded the letter, put it back into the envelope, and stored it in her storage space.

If you put it in the storage space, your things won't get lost.

Moreover, it won't be removed unless Xia Weiwei wants it to.

Back inside, several leaders were discussing matters.

"Old Zhang, I was originally thinking of seeing if there were any medications to treat your illness, so that you could stay here for further treatment and then let Old Xu go back to the Soviet area."

Division Commander Liu looked at Political Commissar Zhang and said, "But it seems that you should take a batch of supplies and personnel back to the Soviet area!"

"Firstly, you are someone I can absolutely trust. I feel more at ease knowing that you will personally escort these important items back."

"Secondly, your body needs recuperation and rest right now. Going back there will allow us to arrange some easy work for you. Otherwise, if you continue to stay here, you'll be worrying all the time and won't be able to get proper rest."

Deputy Division Commander Xu also advised, "Political Commissar Zhang, your health is not what it used to be. There's no need for you to keep pushing yourself on the front lines."

"And it is indeed necessary for someone to report to the Central Committee in person. The Japanese are fighting so fiercely at the front, so I, as the deputy division commander, have to stay here and keep an eye on things."

Hearing the crowd's words, Political Commissar Zhang remained silent for a moment before finally nodding and saying, "I will obey the organization's arrangements."

If it weren't for his health issues, he would have preferred to stay on the front lines instead of returning to the rear.

This was not because he coveted power, but because he wanted to continue contributing to the cause of resisting Japan.

Commander Liu said, "Since it's settled, Lao Zhang, you'll set off tomorrow with a regiment to report back to the Central Committee!"

"A whole regiment? That's way too many people to transfer!"

Political Commissar Zhang couldn't help but say, "It's only the early stages of the War of Resistance. I don't believe the Kuomintang would dare to defy public opinion and attack us!"

In the early stages of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Eighth Route Army was still very weak, and the Kuomintang was not too worried.

As the Eighth Route Army continued to grow stronger, and the New Fourth Army was also established and expanded in the south, the Kuomintang could no longer tolerate it.

Even during the War of Resistance Against Japan, they did not hesitate to attack the New Fourth Army, resulting in extremely heavy casualties among the New Fourth Army.

"Bring more men; for safety, those things cannot be lost!"

Commander Liu said in a deep voice, "Moreover, I have already notified the Central Committee and ordered the 770th Regiment to go to the front line and have the cavalry battalion come to meet you."

The 129th Division nominally consisted of two brigades and four regiments, plus a special operations battalion, an engineer battalion, a supply battalion, and a cavalry battalion.

In reality, only the 769th, 771st and 772nd Regiments, totaling more than 9,000 men, have been deployed to the front lines in Shanxi Province.

Regiment 770 and other battalions were ordered to remain in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region.

They didn't want all their troops to be fighting the Japanese on the front lines while the central government was overthrown by the Kuomintang and reactionary warlords.

Therefore, it was necessary to leave a portion of the troops to protect the Soviet area.

Then, Commander Liu said to Xia Weiwei, "Comrade Xia, I'll have to trouble you these next few days. You need to continue teaching the medical staff of the 120th and 115th Divisions how to use penicillin."

"In addition, you need to do your best to teach them how to use other items so that they can master them as soon as possible."

Xia Weiwei immediately replied, "Don't worry, Commander, I will do my best to complete the mission."

As she spoke, she looked at Political Commissar Zhang and said, "Commissar, Hongwei also prepared watches and cell phones for the top leaders of the Soviet area. You must take them back with you; some videos are downloaded on those phones."

"Hongwei has also prepared some gasoline. If you encounter big trouble on the road, smash all those things and burn them with gasoline. Under no circumstances should they fall into the hands of the Kuomintang and the Japanese."

Currently, mobile phones are only used by high-ranking officials, who are protected by the military, making it unlikely that they will be captured.

As for underground personnel, the risk of exposure is too great, and Ma Hongwei would absolutely not provide them with such equipment.

After all, mobile phones contain a lot of groundbreaking technology, and if the Kuomintang gets their hands on them, they will inevitably hand them over to the United States.

With the United States' powerful industry and technology, their strength will advance by leaps and bounds.

If it falls into the hands of the Japanese, it would be a huge threat.

Political Commissar Zhang nodded and said, "Don't worry, Comrade Xia, I will protect them and will absolutely not let them fall into the hands of the enemy."

Changing the subject, he continued, "By the way, I'm going back to the Soviet area tomorrow. Could you teach me how to use a cell phone again?"

When Xia Weiwei came back last time, he and Commander Liu spent the whole time using Xia Weiwei's phone to watch the videos she had filmed and downloaded.

The two of them watched the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki several times, so they still know how to use a mobile phone.

However, what they used was definitely not as skillful as what Xia Weiwei used.

"Comrade Xia, please teach me too, I'm going back in a couple of days!"

Deputy Division Commander Nie also stepped forward with a smile.

Commander He said, "And me too, I have to go back in a couple of days!"

Their troops are still fighting on the front lines and certainly can't be away for too long.

If it weren't for this emergency summons by Division Commander Liu, people of their rank would generally not leave their units.
