Chapter 005: Taming Wild Coral

  "Now the Japanese are about to reach the Yunyang Mountain border, if we continue to be a scattered sand, the result will either be serving as a slave of a dead nation or being brutally killed in war, I believe no one wants to end up like that?" Murong Wudi saw Ye Zhanju and didn't ask him why he said it was the same as what ** wanted to do, but his eyes were filled with confusion and incomprehension, clearly not understanding the difference between what he said.

  He didn't make any explanations, just kept describing the atrocities of the devils. He believed that if everyone fully understood what kind of beasts the devils were, they would naturally know why he wanted them to follow him to fight the devils. However, he didn't expect that his words would cause these bandits to become even more surprised and astonished. It was clear that they were all because the Japanese hadn't arrived here yet, so they didn't have a definite understanding of what he said. Maybe it was because his words were a bit too profound, these rough men couldn't understand this kind of grand reasoning at all, so they looked at him with even more bewildered eyes, making him feel that doing ideological work was far more difficult than fighting battles.

  "Has everyone heard what Nanjing was like after the devils occupied it?" Murong Wudi knew that talking about those grand principles would have no effect, so he brought out his trump card and presented the facts to Ye Shanhu and the others, letting them know just how brutal the Japanese were. "I believe you all hiding in this deep mountain villa are completely unaware of what's going on outside, but I can tell you what the Nanjing Massacre is..."

  Murong Wudi said that after Nanjing fell, the unarmed civilians, innocent children were killed, and women were raped and forced to become comfort women, according to historical records. Although he had not witnessed it himself, the bloody descriptions in the books were enough to make people feel horrified. With his vivid depiction and description, it was as if he had personally witnessed the scenes in Nanjing, making it almost impossible for others to find fault with what he said.

  Zhao Changyou's silver teeth clenched tightly, his lips were bitten and bleeding, but he didn't feel any pain. His mind was filled with hatred towards the words spoken by Murong Wudi. He fiercely punched the giant wooden pillar beside the hall, making a cracking sound, then let out a furious roar from his throat: "These beasts, they won't even spare a six-year-old child! I must annihilate them all, make China a place where their corpses are left to rot in the wilderness!"

  Wild coral listened to this, and her heart was also very uncomfortable. The rendering made tears flow from the corners of her eyes, mourning for those who had encountered difficulties in Nanjing, but at the same time, she felt an unprecedented sadness and anger. Perhaps she had never thought that such a group of ruthless devils and butchers would come from outside.

  "What right do the Japanese have to come to our doorstep and burn, kill, loot? The second master, Meng Xiangfei, really couldn't understand. This little devil, separated by mountains and seas, and even across the vast East China Sea, actually ran to China to commit such a crime. Any Chinese person with conscience would not be able to accept it. At this time, his teeth were clenched tightly together in anger, and his voice was almost squeezed out from between his teeth."

  "Kill them all! These little devils, if we don't wipe them out, no Chinese will be able to rest easy!" Guo Erwa seemed like he couldn't bear it anymore either. Although he was the smallest in stature here and didn't have any special skills, as a Chinese person, he also couldn't let the Japanese run amok at his doorstep, or else he wouldn't be worthy of being Chinese.

  "General, what should we do?" Ye Zhanju saw that the two high-ranking officers under her had been moved by Murong Wudi's words, and she herself had also heard the call of the people to rise up against Japan. She didn't hesitate any longer and immediately asked Murong Wudi, seemingly willing to accept his command.

  "Zhao Changyou, get the map!" Murong Wudi saw that the situation had already turned in his favor, so he naturally didn't hesitate to lay out his strategic plan. In his view, this was the most important thing at present and couldn't be delayed, so he directly called out to Zhao Changyou.

  "Here..." Zhao Changyou immediately pulled out the military map from his body after hearing, and held it up for Murong Wude to check.

  "My point is, the Japanese army has just won a victory on the battlefield and is now arrogant to the point of being uncontrollable. Next, they will definitely march into Chuijia Village. Our Heavenly Village and Chuijia Village are only separated by one mountain, so we must take advantage of the fact that the devils have not yet arrived and set up an ambush on the highway between Heavenly Village and Chuijia Village to catch the enemy off guard!" Murong Wudi stretched out his right index finger, pointing at the main road between Heavenly Village and Chuijia Village.

  This road was the one he led those brothers to retreat from the battlefield. When he came to Tiantangzhai, he had already checked the surrounding terrain and knew that there was a good ambush point on the traffic artery between Tiantangzhai and Cuojiaji. If it weren't for the fact that his troops were insufficient, he would have set up an ambush somewhere by now, waiting for the devils to fall into the trap.

  "This place is indeed good, it's a great place to lay an ambush!" Although Ye Zhanju didn't know much about military matters, when pointed out by Murong Wudi on the map, she also saw a bit of the way.

  "Now that everyone has decided to follow my command, let me introduce myself. My name is Murong Wudei!" Murong Wudei saw that the strategic direction had been established and the big thing was done, so he made a self-introduction to Ye Zhanhua.

  "I'm called Ye Shanhu, I've grown up in this mountain village since childhood, and I've never had any other name except for this title. My original intention was to follow Commander Murong to fight against the devils, from now on there's no need to call me 'Big Boss' anymore." Ye Shanhu also introduced herself briefly, and reminded Murong Wude that it's not necessary to call her "Big Boss" again, she had wanted to get rid of this title for a long time, and now that she has the chance, she certainly won't let it slip away.

  "My name is Meng Xiangfei, I don't know anything else, but I'm good at shooting!" Meng Xiangfei said, swiftly pulling out the gun from his hand and firing two shots at the door, then quickly putting it away. The whole process took less than three seconds. Afterwards, two sparrows fell down from the big tree at the door. This marksmanship can indeed be called "hitting a target a hundred paces away".

  "I'm useless at everything except running, I don't know if that counts as a skill in front of Commander Murong?" Little Guang Erwa said, and with a quick turn, he took off running towards the outside, his speed was something even the most rigorously trained soldiers couldn't catch up to.

  "Now that we've met, I feel very fortunate to have made this trip and gained two formidable subordinates. I'm planning to establish the Yunyang Mountain Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Force here, building an iron army for Yunyang Mountain. I intend to reorganize the brothers from Tian Tang Village into the New First Brigade of the Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Force, with you as the brigade commander, overseeing three regiments. You can decide on the military appointments yourself. The main goal is to prevent the Japanese army from entering Yunyang Mountain!"

  "We're not regular troops, what's the point of being so formal? In the end, aren't we just bandits?" Meng Xiangfei immediately spoke up before Ye Shanhu could respond, apparently having some reservations about this plan. He didn't object to fighting the devils, but he couldn't stand this way of doing things.
