Bright Sword: From Soldier to Brigade Commander

Su Fei had just returned to the spy company’s base to rest for a while when he was awakened. When he came out to see, it was the sentry who stopped someone. The person was angry. It was obviously the Seventh Concubine!

"Is there any law? Is it so difficult for me to see my husband?" The seventh concubine shouted loudly.

Su Fei hurried over and said, "Comrade Bai Dayan, don't make trouble. This is a military base. If you wander around at night, the sentries might mistake it for an enemy attack and shoot you! Go back quickly."

The Seventh Concubine chuckled and said sweetly, "I know!"

Two female medical guards came over in a hurry: "Sister, aren't you going to the bathroom? Why are you doing this? Go away!"

Watching her quickly disappear into the darkness, Su Fei felt sweet in his heart.

She is cute, bold, and very scheming. She deliberately made things worse, waiting for the Eighth Route Army to expel her so that she can return to her?

……

"Hurry, Captain Su Fei, the phone is ringing! The brigade commander is calling." The soldiers of the telecommunications squad rushed over and brought him back to reality.

The leaders of the regiment were all there, including Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Kong Jie, etc., all of them were smiling happily.

"Hello, Brigade Commander, I'm Su Fei, please give me some instructions!"

Su Fei's standard language and the way he stood at attention and puffed out his chest when speaking made Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and Kong Jie nod frequently.

clever!

Sensible!

He is clearly a little boy who has been in the army for less than two months!

"Comrade Su Fei, you are very fierce and amazing. You single-handedly eliminated the puppet cavalry battalion in Wanjia Town. You have made a great contribution! You have created a miracle! You have brought honor to our 386th Brigade, the 129th Division, and the entire Eighth Route Army. I thank you, the Eighth Route Army thanks you, and the people thank you. I have asked Commander Li Yunlong to commend you. At the same time, Political Commissar Zhao Gang will help you resolve some of your inappropriate issues. I am the brigade commander, not the political commissar, so I cannot control some of Comrade Zhao Gang's decisions. If you feel a little aggrieved, it means you need to study hard and improve yourself! Your Commander Li has already agreed that when all the military horses in Baijia Town are delivered, most of them will be handed over to the brigade headquarters. I personally want to thank you, this great hero! Comrade Su Fei, you are both wise and brave, even more awesome than your commander Li Yunlong! I am optimistic about you!"

Su Fei was so excited that his head was about to smoke!

A female soldier came in and muttered something to Li Yunlong. Li Yunlong chuckled wickedly, asked the female soldier to leave, and said to Su Fei: "Comrade Su Fei, our brigade commander is right. You are more powerful than me, Li Yunlong! I am over 30 years old and still a bachelor. I don't like pigs or dogs, but you are being pursued by a beautiful young lady. I am really impressed!"

Political Commissar Zhao Gang asked about the situation, shook his head and smiled slightly: "No one is perfect, and flaws cannot outweigh the merits. It's a small matter. Comrade Su Fei, congratulations!"

The next morning, Commander Kong Jie led a battalion of soldiers, led by Su Fei and the seventh concubine, and rushed to Baijia Town. They gathered all the people in charge and announced that they accepted the negotiation conditions, accepted the equipment of the Imperial Army Cavalry Battalion, reconciled with Baijia Town, and released more than 60 detained Baijia Town militiamen and the traitor company commander Meng Zhanfa.

The people of Baijia Town were so happy!

Especially the Meng family members, they were so happy that they cried. They kowtowed to Deputy Commander Kong Jie to thank the Eighth Route Army for its magnanimity, and kowtowed to Su Fei to thank him for saving their lives.

At noon, all the more than 300 captured war horses from the Imperial Army Cavalry Battalion were transported to the Independent Regiment’s headquarters, where they were counted and registered. One company’s horses were kept, and the rest were sent to the 386th Brigade Headquarters.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the independent regiment held a commendation meeting.

Eye-catching slogans and red silk ribbons were hung at the venue. The soldiers of the art troupe danced the Yangge, played the clappers, and composed lyrics of Su Fei's heroic deeds and sang them.

After the performance, Li Yunlong invited Su Fei to stand in the middle of the venue and let the comrades from the art troupe present him with flowers.

The applause was thunderous and the cheers were endless!

The host, Political Commissar Zhao Gang, also applauded enthusiastically and then presided over the meeting.

"Comrades, today we solemnly convene a victory celebration to learn from the combat hero, Comrade Su Fei. In my capacity as the head of the Party organization and the head of the regimental headquarters of the 386th Brigade, I would like to share some of Comrade Su Fei's combat experiences and glorious deeds!"

The political commissar spoke for half an hour before announcing two major decisions: First, Su Fei would be promoted to deputy regimental commander and a special forces battalion would be established outside the independent regiment, with Su Fei in charge. Second, Su Fei would be awarded a special merit, be awarded the title of First-Class Combat Hero, and be awarded the title of Model Worker in the Border Region Behind Enemy Lines, calling on all comrades to emulate him.

Thunderous applause!

All the cadres were convinced!

Especially Deputy Headman Kong Jie, who was the first to give a thumbs up.

Political Commissar Zhao Gang waited until everyone's emotions had calmed down a little and made gestures to indicate.

"However, Comrade Su Fei is young, inexperienced, and politically and ideologically immature. He has made some obvious mistakes, such as violating social discipline and lacking rigor. In particular, he failed to report to higher authorities before military operations, exhibiting a certain degree of personal heroism and adventurism. I hope Comrade Su Fei can improve his understanding and actively improve himself in future combat and life! Therefore, I specifically request that Comrade Su Fei memorize the Eighth Route Army's disciplinary requirements and principles within the next month. Furthermore, if conditions permit, he should earnestly participate in political life meetings, take good notes, and study and reflect on his actions. I also hope that Comrade Su Fei will guard against arrogance and impatience, strive for even greater progress!"

That's it?

Is this considered unfair?

Is this what the brigade commander is concerned about?

Su Fei immediately stood up to express his acceptance, accepting it humbly and completely, and vowing to study hard and improve himself in the future.

He is well versed in the ways of the world!

Who wouldn't be envious of such a great achievement? That's human nature.

What's more, he has been promoted to deputy head of the group. Can't he be more high-profile?

He earnestly and profoundly analyzed himself, comparing every detail, from his lifestyle to his military actions, from his psychological fluctuations to the depths of his soul, to the Eighth Route Army's discipline and principles and the standards of a Party member. Finally, he raised his fist and swore to resolutely obey the teachings of the regiment commander, political commissar, and other leaders, sincerely unite all cadres and soldiers, go deep into the masses and conduct investigations, study hard, become a truly qualified Eighth Route Army soldier, a military cadre of the Eighth Route Army who could stand the test, and dedicate all his youth and passion to the great motherland, the great nation, the great Party, and the heroic Eighth Route Army.

"Without the Party and the Eighth Route Army, I would have no new life and future. I must study and study again, and work hard and work hard again! I must be worthy of the honor bestowed by the Party and my superiors, and even more so, I must be worthy of the supervision of the people and withstand the test of the severe and cruel battles in the future. I want to live with dignity and die with honor and bravery!"

"I swear to be as warm as spring to my comrades, and as cruel and ruthless as the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves to my enemies!"

……

what?

Everyone's eyes changed again, especially the regiment commander Li Yunlong, political commissar Zhao Gang, deputy regiment commander Kong Jie, and chief of staff Zhang Dabiao. They stood up and applauded, while looking at each other in dismay!

Comrade Su Fei’s ideological awareness, theoretical level, and realm of thought are so profound?
