"I alone cannot accomplish this, but what if we mobilize the entire Xuanmen (Taoist sect) power of China?" Chu Wanwan smiled slightly, her eyes shining with confidence.
"Commander-in-Chief, please don't forget that our land of China is full of hidden talents and countless people in the Xuanmen sect. If we can mobilize these fellow Xuanmen practitioners to draw invisibility talismans together, then the problem of quantity will surely be solved."
"Moreover, this action is not only for my personal honor, but also for the fighting capacity of the entire Eighth Route Army and for the great cause of our nation's liberation. I firmly believe that as long as we explain the advantages and disadvantages to them, they will be willing to lend a helping hand."
Upon hearing this, Commander-in-Chief Zhao's eyes flashed with approval. He nodded and said in a deep voice:
"Commander Chu, you are absolutely right. This is a battle for our entire nation, and everyone should contribute their own strength. I will immediately report to the Central Military Commission and strive to gain their support to mobilize the Xuanmen forces across the country to jointly create an invisibility talisman."
...
While waiting for the Central Military Commission's reply, Chu Wanwan had no free time.
She studied the techniques of drawing invisibility talismans day and night, trying to find a more efficient and simpler method so that more people in the Xuanmen sect could quickly master it.
Finally, the Central Military Commission's reply arrived. After careful preparation, the Central Military Commission approved the plan and issued a nationwide mobilization order.
The news immediately sparked a strong reaction within the Xuanmen (Taoist sect), with countless members responding enthusiastically, willing to contribute their share to the cause of national liberation.
Xuanmen masters from all over flocked to the area, and Chu Wanwan personally took charge of training and guiding them.
Some people traveled thousands of miles and endured hardships, just to contribute their strength to this battle for national liberation.
Under Chu Wanwan's guidance, a special team composed of people from the Xuanmen sect was quickly formed.
They come from all corners of the country; some are renowned masters, while others are up-and-coming talents. But at this moment, they all share a common goal—to strive for the liberation of the nation.
Meanwhile, the Eighth Route Army's positions continued to advance.
The soldiers fought bravely on the front lines, and every charge was accompanied by bloodshed and sacrifice, but their faith never wavered.
Three days later, the Eighth Route Army directly attacked Yongzhou. When the soldiers stepped into Yongzhou, the horrific scene before them shocked them.
Before retreating, the Japanese soldiers carried out a brutal massacre in the city. The streets were littered with the bodies of innocent civilians, houses were burned to the ground and shops were looted. The whole city was filled with unspeakable grief and resentment.
Many survivors knelt beside the bodies of their loved ones, their eyes filled with despair and grief, tears streaming down their faces and dripping onto the cold ground. Some sobbed softly, some wailed loudly, and some remained silent with bloodshot eyes.
Witnessing this scene, Chu Wanwan felt a surge of intense grief and indignation. She gripped the medal on her chest tightly, her teeth grinding together, and roared, "These beasts! I swear I will not rest until I avenge this!"
Si Mingye walked to her side, gently patted her shoulder, and whispered:
"Don't be too sad. Once the people of the Xuanmen have learned the invisibility talisman, our combat power will be greatly enhanced. At that time, we will definitely be able to avenge these innocent people and make the Japanese devils pay the price they deserve."
Upon hearing this, Chu Wanwan remained silent, only nodding slightly. She knew that sorrow at this moment could not solve the problem; only greater power could bring the enemy to their due punishment.
...
The Battle of Yongzhou was the first large-scale counterattack launched by the Huaxia Kingdom against the enemy, and the city was successfully recovered.
This news was like a ray of dawn, piercing through the shadow of war. The people of the entire nation were thrilled, seeing hope for victory and becoming even more determined to resist the Japanese invasion.
The brutal acts of the Japanese invaders ignited a fierce flame of revenge among the Chinese people. Self-organized anti-Japanese forces emerged across the country. Though poorly equipped and poorly trained, they were filled with burning hatred for the Japanese invaders and vowed to fight for the peace of their homeland and the blood debt owed to their loved ones.
These teams supported the Eighth Route Army's resistance against Japan in various ways, such as attacking small groups of Japanese soldiers or destroying their transportation routes.
Some of them were farmers who put down their hoes and picked up weapons;
Some were workers who left the factory to join the battlefield;
Some were students who bid farewell to their books and picked up rifles.
Looking at the people spontaneously resisting the Japanese in the newspaper, Chu Wanwan felt both moved and worried.
What moved us was the awakening and resistance of the people, but what worried us was their lack of sufficient training and equipment, making them extremely vulnerable to being killed by the Japanese.
Therefore, she suggested to Commander-in-Chief Zhao that they consider incorporating these spontaneously organized anti-Japanese forces into the Eighth Route Army, providing them with formal training and equipment, so that they could become a vital force in the war of resistance.
After listening, Commander-in-Chief Zhao pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement. He said, "Chu Wanwan, your suggestion is excellent. The anti-Japanese enthusiasm of these people is commendable, and we should provide them with support and guidance."
Therefore, Chu Wanwan, Si Mingye, and the Eighth Route Army from various places began to organize and train these spontaneously organized anti-Japanese forces.
They provided these teams with weapons, ammunition, and food, and taught them tactics and combat skills, enabling them to gradually grow into powerful anti-Japanese forces.
In this way, the Eighth Route Army continued to grow in size, becoming countless iron-blooded legions equipped with advanced weapons.
A month later, most of the Xuanmen sorcerers had learned how to draw invisibility talismans from Chu Wanwan.
