Since Ding Chong said this, Liu Jingxiao could only be moved and had nothing to say.

However, Ding Chong and Wang Zichun have invested a lot of money on Liu Jingxiao!

The equipment of the Dingbian Army was outdated, with only about one hundred rifled rifles, and the rest were almost antique smoothbore rifles. That was easy to deal with! All of them were replaced!

The Hanyang Arsenal is close at hand. Although it is the factory under the head of the Army Department, as the saying goes, county officials are worse than to be in charge. At the order of Governor Wang, the Hanyang Arsenal immediately brought in 1,800 new guns, of which 400 were rifled guns that had just left the factory. It has good quality and long range, which made the officers and soldiers very happy.

The Dingbian Army's uniforms were all ragged Fengjun uniforms, no problem! They were all replaced with new ones. Since Governor Wang had an order, each person would issue two single clothes and two shirts, and tied up the newly made belts. They were all majestic. Several battalion commanders even received a big dress. In addition, each of them was two new revolvers made in Hanyang.

The Dingbian Army had no mules and horses and could not transport baggage, which was easy to deal with! Governor Wang asked the Chamber of Commerce to get more than 200 mules and more than 30 carts, and there was no problem with transporting the supplies of a division!

The Dingbian Army lacks special forces, so this is the best way to do it! All the special forces in Wuhan City are transferred to Liu Jingxiao, which is to have supplies, one battalion of engineers and a company of communications soldiers. The artillery battalion that Liu Jingxiao wanted the most has also been transferred.

This artillery battalion has six pounds of field howitzers in two companies and eight in two companies, and four in one company with twelve pounds of howitzers in one company with their muzzles facing the sky. The gun body seems to flow with black light in the sun...

Good thing! Good thing... This guy can withstand two-pound cannons in one ball, and it has great power and a very long range. It's really a good thing!

Several officers were circling the cannon with satisfaction. Li Heyi couldn't put it down and touched the cannon body back and forth, which made the artillery battalion leader who sent the cannons look a few times.

Murong Xuehai also showed a rare smile, and his deep-locked brows also spread out. Xiao Rulang laughed and patted his chest and said, "Teacher Commander! Leave this cannon to our battalion to take the lead! Ensure the victory of the first battle, and you will make a great contribution!"

Since the troops have become the First Division of the Hubei Army, of course everyone has changed their name, and the name "Terminal Commander...Terminal Commander..." originated from this.

Of course, since the regiment commander has been promoted to the division commander, these battalion commanders are also thinking about upgrading. The title of "brigade" is hopeless for the time being, but the regiment commander and battalion commander are really hopeful.

However, Liu Jingxiao did not reply to Xiao Rulang's words, but instead arched the artillery battalion commander who sent the cannons and asked: "Battleman Meng, do you have all the equipment in the battalion? What do I need to buy?"

Seeing Liu Jingxiao so polite, Battalion Commander Meng hurriedly replied: "All of them are all in place, and the gunners and soldiers are all in place! Just wait for the division commander to send an order to go out!"

At this time, Liu Jingxiao looked at the Battalion Commander Meng again. At first glance, the Battalion Commander Meng thought he was almost middle-aged, with a few white hair mixed with black hair, but when he looked closely, he was a young officer under 30 years old. He may have experienced too much wind and frost, so he felt premature.

When Liu Jingxiao saw this, he suddenly had an idea. Looking at the military rank of Battalion Commander Meng, he was still a major, which was completely incomparable to Japanese than his about to become successful. He said again: "Captain Meng, can your artillery regiment fight a tough battle?"

Battalion Commander Meng couldn't help but think that he was obviously the battalion commander of the artillery battalion, so why did he become the artillery regiment commander?

But he was an honest man, so he stood there and asked, "Teacher, what do you mean?"

Seeing that he was honest, Liu Jingxiao felt a little more joy. He pulled off his shoulder, pulled down his own rank of colonel, placed it on Battalion Commander Meng's shoulder, and laughed loudly: "From now on, you will be the commander of my division's artillery regiment! This rank is yours!"

Liu Jingxiao has been promoted to the commander of the division, so naturally he cannot hold the rank of colonel given by the General's Mansion. Wanyan Yuzhuo was very happy that her husband was promoted, so he brought a few to buy the rank of deputy general for him, but he had not bought it back yet.

So Liu Jingxiao simply gave him a free gift and promoted Battalion Commander Meng to the empty artillery regiment commander. Fortunately, he didn't buy back the rank of major general, otherwise he would have to lift his rank of major general to Battalion Commander Meng.

This is the old wisdom of Wang Zichun's enthronement on the front line. The battalion commanders on the side had no objection. Guo Junqing also nodded secretly. After all, whether this battle can be successful depends entirely on the words of these cannons. Besides, Battalion Commander Meng has a share. Do they have no share in these old battalion commanders?

Battalion Commander Meng was so dizzy that he was beaten by this flying blessing. It took him a long time to understand. He bowed nine times to Liu Jingxiao Lianji (this is the highest etiquette since the Republic), and then sobbed in a Hubei accent and said: "Dingguo will definitely obey the commander from today!"

It's no wonder that he has been waiting for this position for five years, but he has no hope of promotion.

However, the treatment of the Hubei army is notoriously low, and it cannot support his wife and children. His family has a large population, but he usually refuses to eat military blood, so his family is penniless and almost unable to get out of the way, and he is very down and out.

Seeing that Meng Dingguo was a man of true nature, Liu Jingxiao liked him even more, so she held his hand and said, "Why are Dingguo doing so politely? I'll eat a bowl of rice in the same group in the future! Come on! I'll introduce it to you!"

As he said that, he introduced several battalion commanders to Meng Dingguo one by one, and finally said: "This battle is the key to you, the artillery regiment of Dingguo!"

Liu Jingxiao was called "Dingguo" and "Dingguo" was intimate, especially "Your Group" was so pleasant in Mengdingguo. Besides, people valued themselves so much that they would have to die for their confidants and fight this battle for Liu Jingxiao.

But when the heat was over, Liu Jingxiao suddenly changed his mind: "Captain Meng, you are an exception! My four infantry battalions can't form a regiment like this. Whoever fights well will be organized into a regiment! Whoever fights poorly will be organized into another regiment!"

Guo Junqing immediately responded: "Well said it! This battle is related to the life and death of the troops. My division commander and I, regardless of whether we are close or alienated, whether we have a good or bad relationship, will only fight or not... As long as we are troops that can fight, we will expand them into regiments!"

As soon as these words were said, several battalion commanders were disappointed. Hubei First Division should have four regiments, and everyone was planning to directly expand the infantry battalion into a regiment. Liu Jingxiao's words cut off this road.

But this is also good. Not only does it take to change the sign on the surface, but if it is played well, it can also annex the troops of other battalions. So everyone is eager to try and strive to be Liu Jingxiao's vanguard camp. They must not let others steal the title.

In this battle, the Dingbian army fought bravely and chased each one. Liu Jingxiao's words really made great contributions.

After hearing Liu Jingxiao's words, Meng Dingguo thought that Liu Jingxiao looked at him so differently, and was so grateful that he suddenly thought of something, and he said, "Teacher Commander, do you still need soldiers?"
