Half a year ago, Xiang Hu and these people did get a promise from the Tiger and Leopard Army.

And it was precisely because of these promises that Xiang Hu willingly entered the enemy's hinterland and formed a guerrilla army.

However, in their opinion, after the main force takes Jiangnan, it is already a great thing that they can become a lieutenant colonel and regiment commander of the garrison from the captain company commander.

After all, it's only been half a year since I came out on my own. And the 3,000 guerrillas under his command have not yet reached the standard of the field troops of the Haw Par Army.

However, the surprise that the prince brought to him far exceeded his expectations.

Not only did he become the regiment commander, but he also directly became the colonel and regimental commander of the Haw Par Army field troops. It can be said that it took me half a year to walk a road that is difficult for others to walk for several years, or even more than ten years.

Of course, surprises are surprises, and Xiang Hu did not lose his mind because of this.

The half-year-long test of life and death has already cultivated his character of not being shocked in the face of various things. Otherwise, he would not have grown the guerrilla force from 10 to 3,000 today.

After only a brief moment of agitation, Xiang Hu regained his composure. Facing Wang Feng, he asked with a sad face.

"Commander Wang, I don't know how the equipment and troop configuration of the first regiment of the independent division are, whether they will participate in the next battle against the imperial court, and what are the specific tasks?" Being able to think of so many questions in such a short period of time, Xiang Hu's performance directly made Wang Feng feel impressed.

After nodding with a satisfied face, he replied very cheerfully: "You, the regiment commander, are the same as the field troops, with the rank of colonel...... Of course, the equipment and strength are the same as those of the field troops......"

"So, now you only have one mission. Two thousand three hundred elites were selected from among the three thousand guerrillas. The 1st Regiment of the 1st Independent Division was formed...... Ben will only give you one day. A day later, head to the dock barracks to change your clothes......"

"As for whether your 1st Independent Regiment will participate in the decisive battle against the Imperial Court...... No doubt...... Compared with the general's First Army, you are more familiar with the terrain and enemy situation in the south of the Yangtze River. Therefore, after the formation of the troops and the rearmament of the troops are completed, the general will take command and assist our First Army in conducting operations...... As for how much you can achieve, it's up to you......"

Speaking of which, what did Wang Feng seem to have in mind?

Eyes lit up. continued: "In addition, there is one thing that may be a good piece of good news for you to the head of the regiment...... As for whether you can grasp it in the end, it's up to you to ......."

"According to the order of the prince, all the guerrillas operating in Jiangnan will be reorganized into ten regiments to form an independent army...... You have no place to be the commander of the Independence Army...... However, the positions of the commanders of the three independent divisions of the Independent Army, if you are not afraid to tell you, will be produced among the ten commanders of your regiments. So, to the head of the regiment, you must seize the opportunity. ”

From captain company commander Ichikoshi became colonel regimental commander. For Xiang Hu, it can already be called an unexpected surprise.

And now, there is an opportunity to be directly promoted from colonel to major general division commander in front of him, which has to make Xiang Hu feel moved.

Because, becoming a major general and division commander means that Xiang Hu has entered the ranks of senior generals of the Tiger and Leopard Army and entered the field of vision of Wang Yewei Zheng.

Such a good opportunity, of course Xiang Hu will not let it go.

So, as soon as Wang Feng's words fell, Xiang Hu's eyes shot out two scorching gazes.

At this moment, no matter how calm Xiang Hu is, he can't suppress the excitement in his heart.

Facing Wang Feng, he assured excitedly: "Please rest assured that the last general will live up to the high expectations of the commander......"

Join the Haw Par Army Field Force and officially become a member of the Haw Par Army. The 3,000 soldiers of the guerrilla army, who had long been aware of the various benefits of the Haw Par Army through Xiang Hu and others, became boiling as soon as they heard the news.

Because, the attraction and temptation of the field troops of the Haw Par Army to them is too great.

As soon as Xiang Hu entered the guerrilla camp, thousands of soldiers surrounded Xiang Hu to confirm the authenticity of the news.

After receiving Xiang Hu's repeated confirmation, the soldiers who were already boiling became even more boiling at this moment.

In particular, after listening to the request to join the field unit of the Haw Par Army, nearly 3,000 officers and men, without the slightest hesitation, immediately used all the means at their disposal, and no matter what, they wanted to become a member of the field unit of the Haw Par Army.

After all, he brought the guerrilla leader for half a year, plus the assistance of ten veterans under his command. Although Wang Feng gave Xiang Hu a day, Xiang Hu only took half a day to complete the reorganization of a regiment.

Then, he directly led the more than 2,000 soldiers of the whole regiment to the dock to receive equipment.

The reason why it is so fast, Xiang Hu also has his own careful thoughts. That is, through his own iron-fisted means, he told Commander Wang Feng that he had the ability to become the commander of an independent division.

Xiang Hu's early arrival did give Wang Feng a big surprise.

However, as the commander of the army, Wang Feng did not say much. Directly ordered his subordinates to take the independent regiment to change clothes.

The company is armed with light mortars, the battalion is armed with medium mortars, and the regiment is armed with heavy mortars...... Facing the mountains of ultra-luxury configurations in front of him, the smile on Xiang Hu's face did not stop.

As for the former guerrilla soldiers who had just become a member of the Haw Par Army, they were not only excited but also excited, touching the cold barrel of the mortar.

You must know that in the six months since the guerrillas were founded, everyone has suffered losses from artillery more than once.

Now, he has his own artillery, and he is armed with such a large number of guns at one time.

In everyone's opinion, from now on, not only will he not suffer the losses of the artillery of the officers and soldiers, but he will also use the artillery in front of him to strike hard at the officers and soldiers, so that the officers and soldiers can also taste the power of the artillery of the independent regiment.

After seeing all the expressions on everyone's faces, Xiang Hu had a sense of happiness of changing shotguns.

Looking at the subordinates who were still shocked and excited in front of him, he glanced at the smiling combat staff officer of the First Army beside him. Xiang Hu's face turned red directly because of embarrassment.

Then, he subconsciously explained: "Let Staff Officer Zhang see the joke, it's really that the soldiers have lived too hard under the siege of the imperial court, and they haven't seen such good equipment." In particular, the artillery, although a lot of it has been captured, is all old-fashioned artillery, and in terms of power and range, even the new muskets we are equipped with are inferior to ......"

After Staff Officer Zhang smiled and expressed his understanding, Xiang Hu directly kicked the chief of staff next to him who still hadn't reacted to wake up.

Then, he commanded loudly: "What are you still doing...... The whole regiment took the company as a unit and immediately received equipment for reloading...... Baggage company, take all the ammunition back to the camp...... Time is running out, and we must familiarize ourselves with these new equipment ...... in a day" (to be continued......
