"The National Government is an official, and Hu Fei is a lieutenant colonel. Chairman of the National Government, Lin Sen. July 10, 28th year of the Republic of China. Feng Yi was holding a piece of paper like a certificate of merit and reading aloud the handwriting on it. Zhang Yayi and Xu Yajun sat next to them and watched with a smile. Hu Fei, who was sitting in the middle, was full of irrepressible joy.

I can't blame him for being happy, this is an official certificate issued by the National Government. With this piece of paper, he can be regarded as officially entering the ranks of national officers!

Seriously calculated, this time Hu Fei really has to thank Commander Okamura Ninji of the Japanese Eleventh Army. If it weren't for Commander Okamura's painstaking efforts and money to hold that press conference, few people would know about Hu Fei's heroic deeds to this day.

It was precisely because General Okamura spared no effort in propaganda that Hu Fei's name officially entered the eyes of the chairman. Regardless of whether it was Hu Fei who killed Tomata Sano, as long as it was said that Okamura Ningji was desperately smearing Hu Fei, then this person must be useful to the party and the state, and useful for the war of war!

Now that China and Japan are at war, the Japanese commander wants the Chinese government to punish the person who should be commended for whatever reason. If he loses the face of the Japanese, it is tantamount to raising the face of the Chinese government, the chairman of the NPC National Committee, and at the same time the face of Lin Sen, chairman of the National Government!

The Japanese said that he burned the medicinal materials for disaster relief, but who would believe it? The devils also said that they came to China to help China build common prosperity in East Asia, but what was the result? Killing our people, looting our property, usurping our territory. His crimes are heinous and unspeakable! Anyway, even if it is to show the League of Nations that China has not yielded to Japan, this Hu Fei should be commended! It's still a big prize!

Chairman Long Yan Dayue, Hu Fei's award this time is a bit heavy. On the basis of not having received any official military rank before, he was suddenly awarded the official rank of lieutenant colonel of the national army, which is the first time in the world.

That's not all, a month before this, the chairman appointed Hu Fei as the head of the 88th detachment of the advanced army with a post order! His rank has entered the ranks of generals!

This is a promotion in the position, and there are also benefits. In recognition of Hu Fei's meritorious service, and in order to be worthy of his title as the leader of the major general's detachment, Fan Songfu allocated 300 recruits to the 88th detachment, as well as five mortars and 100 military horses. Commander Xue of the war zone rewarded the eighty-eight detachments with 5,000 silver dollars.

A dazzling variety of rewards appeared frequently, and Hu Fei woke up with a smile every morning. Especially the appearance of those 100 military horses, Hu Fei moved the idea of forming a cavalry unit in his heart. Perhaps influenced by his early experience, Hu Fei always had a cavalry plot, and he always thought about when he could lead a cavalry army to come and go like the wind and gallop across the country.

Since he had this thought, Hu Fei naturally had to make up his mind in this regard. Go to Fan Songfu to ask for a war horse? Commander Fan said that he didn't give him just a hundred horses, but it was given to Hu Fei by Commander Xue of the war zone. If you want a few more rifles, I can still find a way for you, War Horse? Sorry, I really don't have one here!

If that's the case, then the only way to think is to change the way of thinking and see if we can get some war horses from the devil's side. Hu Fei knew that devils also had war horses, and he had seen the devil's cavalry. However, the devil's war horse will definitely not be given to him in vain. Even if you spend money to buy it, it is estimated that people will not necessarily sell it.

Of course, if you want to get military horses from the devils, you have to first inquire clearly where the Japanese war horses are. To do this, it has to be Gou Tianxiao, and people are experts in finding out the news.

As Hu Fei's tide rose, the henchmen and generals who followed him in the southern and northern wars were naturally promoted accordingly.

Gou Tianxiao was originally the commander of the reconnaissance battalion, but this time the reconnaissance battalion was upgraded to an independent brigade, and the rank of colonel was promoted. Ji Jinbiao became the colonel captain of the first brigade, Yang Jinsheng was the colonel captain of the second brigade, and Li San served as the colonel captain of the third brigade.

Xiong Wei's tendon in his leg was broken by the devil's machine gun, and now he is limping after being cured, Hu Fei simply let him, the old brother, serve as the captain of the baggage dà, and the rank is also colonel. Coupled with Liu Dong, the colonel's chief of staff, Hu Fei's troops suddenly had six more colonels. Although it seemed sudden, Hu Fei stood there majestically, and who dared to say that this was a grass platform team.

The Battle of Nanchang has ended, and there is no large-scale war between the Chinese and Japanese armies for the time being. Hu Fei handed over the task of finding the devil army horse to Gou Tianxiao, and he had to hurry up and reorganize the team. The official has been sealed, and if the corresponding team is not brought out, isn't it just an empty shell.

Those 300 recruits were recruits in the true sense of the word, who could not understand passwords, had never used guns, and needed to be trained from the most basic formations. Li San once served as a recruit company commander, and Hu Fei temporarily appointed Captain Li as an instructor for recruit training. Li San was in charge of the new barracks, and Hu Fei also went to the new barracks every day to participate in training.

The conscription task that Liu Dong was in charge of achieved quite good results. In just a few months, the army recruited more than 2,000 recruits. There are not many real veterans in Hu Fei's troops, including the last ambush of the Sano detachment, most of the soldiers he brought were new recruits.

Today's 88th Detachment of the Advance Army is completely correct in saying that it is a newly built unit, and more than 80 percent of the soldiers have joined the army for less than half a year, so of course it is a new unit.

There was thunder on the training ground. Hu Fei is holding a ghost head knife, teaching recruits to practice knife skills one move at a time. Two hundred recruits lined up in a neat phalanx, each with a broadsword of the kind used in the 29th Army of that year. "Kill! Kill! Kill! Whenever they slashed hard, the soldiers always had to yell "kill". The swords on the training ground were flashing and the sound of killing was bursting, and it was exciting to see people's blood.

Recruits are good as recruits, that is, they don't spare any effort when training. The chief told him to practice as he pleased, never lazy, and never slippery. Although the recruits' comprehension ability is a little worse, they are obedient, and how Hu Fei teaches, others will learn.

The size of the army is close to 3,000 people, and it is impossible for so many people to be pulled to the playground to practice knife skills at one time, and Hu Fei is now teaching in a group of 200 people. Anyway, it's not to teach any complicated martial arts, just a few of the most practical moves, which can almost be taught in a day, and the rest is for them to go back and practice by themselves, and Hu Fei will change to the next batch to continue teaching.

On the side of the martial arts training field, a pair of bright eyes were watching Hu Fei's every move.
