As soon as he thought of this, Chu Yunhai hurriedly put away his underestimation and said, "Brother Dayong is right. Civilians hold guns and meet well-trained regular soldiers, most of them will only be killed. But I think... Brother Tianhua, do you know whether to say it or not?"

"Speaking."

Chu Yunhai hesitated for a moment and said, "What Brother Tianhua said just now is not true."

Wu Tianhua raised his eyebrows: "How can I tell?"

Chu Yunhai analyzed: "Now that there are many troops around Wuhan, the periphery of the Chinese and Japanese troops around Wuhan has begun, but the outcome is unpredictable for the time being."

After drinking a sip of tea, Chu Yunhai continued to say: "Putting aside Brother Tianhua's reputation in Hankou, is there anyone who dares to pluck his hair from the tiger's mouth? To put it bluntly, your more than 100 guards' team will not be trained. As long as you hold swords and guns, ordinary thieves will not dare to come to the door to disturb trouble. If the chaotic army comes to the door, even if you are experienced in many battles, you will not be able to withstand the siege of the enemy. Therefore, if Brother Tianhua set up a guards' team to protect his property during this period, I would definitely not believe it."

Finally, Chu Yunhai concluded: "Since even outsiders can see this clearly, with Brother Tianhua's experience, it is impossible for me to think of the key points. That's why I think there is a lot of work behind your patrol guard team."

After listening to the other party's analysis, Wu Tianhua laughed: "Brother Chu is such a good experience! Yes, the deeper reason I set up this village protection team is because the Japanese are eyeing Wuhan. I want to bring myself to a team that can stand and dare to fight, assist the national army, and do my best to protect Hankou."

"I see."

Chu Yunhai pondered for a moment of thought, then said, "If Brother Tianhua had this idea, in my opinion, doing so would not make much sense."

Wu Tianhua asked back: "How can I see it?"

Chu Yunhai replied: "A force, not to talk about the number of people, to form a certain combat effectiveness, it must be strictly trained for at least three months. Then after going to the battlefield and after some hardship, it can be called a force, otherwise it will be just a group of mobs."

"The current situation is that the Japanese invaders have launched two-line attacks and are heading straight to the three towns of Wuhan. When your team is trained, the Wuhan battle will probably have been completed. If the national army wins, your village guard team will certainly be useless. If the Japanese invaders win, this village guard team with a total of more than 100 troops will not change the situation."

Wei Dayong spoke at this time and said his first sentence tonight: "How dare Master Chu be so sure? This battle can be completed within a few months?"

Chu Yunhai hit the nail on the head: "Since the Japanese invaders have launched air strikes on Wuhan, the intention is very obvious, mainly to create a chaotic situation and affect the morale of the national army. Not only that, in the next few days, the Japanese planes will definitely launch large-scale air strikes on the three towns of Wuhan. Since the Japanese are eager to fight, they will definitely launch fierce attacks from all walks of life in order to attack Wuhan in the shortest time. So I decided that regardless of whether Wuhan can defend it, the battle will end in about three or four months."

Previously, Wei Dayong and Wu Tianhua also held this view.

The views of both sides coincide, which is exactly what the heroes think.

Wu Tianhua: "Brother Chu is right. But some things are done early and late, and they have to be done. My idea is that even if my patrol team cannot play a role in the frontal battlefield, it is at least several times stronger than ordinary people. It can help the national army to do some auxiliary work, such as transporting ammunition and food, maintaining market security, and eliminating Japanese spies, which is also a way to share the country's worries. Brother Chu thinks what I think of this?"

Before entering Hankou City, Chu Yunhai had inquired about Wu Tianhua's background. He heard that although this person was the leader of the gang, he had never harmed local people. Overall, his reputation was quite good. It was precisely because of this that he came straight to the "Wu Ji Grain Store" and would like to meet him for a while if this person is worthy of surrendering to him.

Unexpectedly, in addition to being generous, Wu Tianhua actually has such patriotic feelings, which made Chu Yunhai look at him with admiration.

He was solemn and his face became solemn: "Brother Tianhua has a broad mind and a long-term vision, but Yunhai said the wrong thing. Since Brother Tianhua has made up his mind and wants to serve the country, how dare I not do my best?"

So, the appointment of Chu Yunhai as the instructor of the Wu Family's village guard team was decided.

After saying a while, Wu Tianhua instructed his servants to set up a banquet in the living room to welcome Chu Yunhai.

Wei Dayong was concerned about Master Yuantong's injuries and had no intention of drinking. He wanted to rush back to the hospital for a visit overnight, but unexpectedly, when he was preparing the car, Lao Zhou said that he could not go out tonight.

The reason is that after Hankou was bombed by enemy planes today, the military imposed a comprehensive curfew and sent additional night patrols. After 9 o'clock in the evening, the people were forbidden to walk on the streets.

Wei Dayong was helpless after hearing this, so he could only hold back his temperament and accompany Wu Tianhua and Chu Yunhai to drink and talk.

During the meal, Wu Tianhua mentioned the situation of the Chu family. Chu Yunhai said that his family was a big family and a military family. Since the middle of the Qing Dynasty, many people in each generation of the family have served in the army, and some even have officials in the clan to be appointed as general. In recent years, many talents have emerged, and the Chu family is active among the middle and senior leaders of the army of several major factions.

Wu Tianhua wanted to raise the other party and said, "Brother Chu is from the Baoding Military Academy and is a leader in the clan. Even if Longqian's Abyss today, I believe there will be a time to soar to the sky in the future."

Chu Yunhai looked a little sad when he heard this, and said, "I can't afford to be the four leading figures of the clan. If I don't talk about others, one of my clan brothers is named Chu Yunfei, a graduate of the fifth phase of the Whampoa Military Academy. He is 28 years old and is already the commander of the 358th Regiment of the 89th Division of the Jinsui Army. If he hadn't had a low qualification, he would have been promoted to brigade commander in the past two years."

After taking a sip of wine, Chu Yunhai continued, "After I resigned from my military post, my clan brother strongly invited me to the Jinsui Army to develop. I was also disheartened at that time, so I did not agree to him."

Wu Tianhua praised: "Brother Chu is so respectful, I believe he is also a good man. He must make friends with him if he has the opportunity in the future."

He said again: "Brother Chu, I will ask you, why did you leave the army?"

Chu Yunhai smiled bitterly: "I was in the Central Army and was ordered to 'suppress the bandits'. I think the Japanese invaders were staring at the side of the bed, and the Chinese people should not fight in internal conflicts. They should unite and go to the outside world, so they have been unable to suppress the bandits. The superiors were very angry and tried their best to put pressure on me, so I simply turned my hand away and went home to plant sweet potatoes..."

When talking about the past, Chu Yunhai was obviously not very interested and said vaguely.

Seeing that the other party refused to explain in detail, Wu Tianhua stopped asking the whole story.
