Bright Sword: From Soldier to Brigade Commander

Not long after the victory celebration and award ceremony, Political Commissar Zhao Gang proposed to convene a regimental-level cadre meeting immediately!

The meeting was held in a small, simple room.

This is the workroom of Political Commissar Zhao Gang. The bookshelves are filled with handwritten books, some bound books on Marxist-Leninist theory, and documents such as the teacher's "On Protracted War". It is clean and warm.

As soon as everyone sat down, Political Commissar Zhao Gang began to criticize himself.

"Today, I made a serious mistake. Without serious investigation and research, I crudely characterized some of Comrade Su Fei's actions and made simplistic conclusions. This was extremely wrong! I apologize to Comrade Su Fei and make a profound self-examination to all comrades."

what?

What do you mean?

Political Commissar Zhao Gang further elaborated on the reasons for his misunderstanding of Su Fei. He felt that Su Fei's actions were correct, without the slightest error. For example, acting without reporting to his superiors didn't mean Su Fei disregarded organizational discipline. His speech today showed his familiarity with Party policies and discipline, so how could he not have known? He didn't intentionally violate discipline, but rather knew that some matters must be kept strictly confidential. If he had publicly announced this to the regimental leadership, everyone would have opposed his risky actions. Then how could the subsequent victories at Baijia Town and Wanjia Town have occurred? Extraordinary measures often require extraordinary measures! Furthermore, regarding the matter of the Seventh Concubine, if Su Fei had truly adhered to the Party's and Eighth Route Army's discipline in a cold and rigid manner, and had distanced himself from the aunt of the traitor Meng Zhanqiang, he would have missed out on a patriotic and understanding person. He would have failed to capitalize on the situation, deepen united front work, and guide the traitorous forces rampant in Baijia Town into supporting the Eighth Route Army! In addition, being able to resolve conflicts in a complex and changing environment and guide the people of Baijia Town to attack the Imperial Army and achieve a great victory is not only a stroke of genius in military thinking, but also a model of mass work and united front work!

what?

Su Fei felt embarrassed!

"Political Commissar, your praise is excessive! I dare not accept it. Honestly, that Seventh Concubine, I sometimes get really emotional! The attack on Wanjia Town was really driven by the unhealthy idea of ​​personal heroism..."

The political commissar was also embarrassed.

"That's revolutionary heroism, not personal heroism! Everyone loves beauty, so we judge by deeds, not by heart. Because you have a profound understanding of political theory, you must understand it from a different perspective!"

The political commissar made this comment, and others also praised it highly!

Li Yunlong: "Hehe, let me say something that the political commissar may not like to hear. Actually, comrades who can fight are good comrades! Comrades who do not harm the interests of the masses are good comrades! Comrade Su Fei is also very modest. In this respect, he is a bit like me, haha!"

Hahaha!

Everyone laughed.

The following is a discussion of Su Fei's work arrangements. Originally, the plan was to expand the special forces company within the independent regiment and form a special forces battalion, allowing Su Fei to grow under everyone's help and supervision. However, after the victory celebration, the political commissar carefully questioned and investigated the people of Baijia Town who had accompanied the Seventh Concubine, and also asked Deputy Commander Kong Jie about what he had seen and heard in Baijia Town. He decided to change the measures and let Su Fei work independently and boldly, and go directly to Baijia Town to form a special forces unit.

The devils have Yamamoto Ikki’s special forces, so we should have them too!

The people of Baijia Town and the four families admire Su Fei very much. It is most conducive for Su Fei to carry out his work. It is better to take advantage of the situation and turn Baijia Town into the base of our Eighth Route Army in the shortest possible time.

Of course, because the public's awareness needs to be gradually improved, and because the remnants of the previous traitors need to be gradually eliminated and changed, it is not appropriate to directly apply the Eighth Route Army's methods to Baijia Town. As a transition, Su Fei can manage it independently, and after a period of time, the Eighth Route Army will send political cadres to receive and educate them.

Deputy Regimental Commander Kong Jie also said seriously: "That Seventh Concubine, according to our female soldiers, is also a miserable person. Comrade Su Fei, if it is beneficial to the war of resistance, to unity, and to the integration of cadres and the masses, why can't they get married? I think it is possible!"

Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao both support it.

However, Su Fei was in a dilemma.

Eliminating the big traitor in Baijia Town, swatting rabbits, and wiping out the Imperial Army Cavalry Battalion in Wanjia Town might seem satisfying, but there are actually many aftereffects. Over time, will the Meng family be unable to grasp the truth? If they knew he had assassinated Meng Zhanqiang, deceived the people of Baijia Town and the Imperial Army Cavalry Battalion into fighting to the death, resulting in heavy casualties, wouldn't they eat him?

He talked about these practical problems.

After repeated discussions, Political Commissar Zhao Gang, Li Yunlong and others believed that the work in Baijia Town did face many difficulties and challenges, but it also had a certain mass base. If they gave up, or used simple and crude methods such as the Eighth Route Army's stationing, the results would definitely not be good.

"Comrade Su Fei, do you dare to accept the challenge?"

Is there any need to think about this question?

However, Su Fei raised several major problems, especially the Meng family's attempt to bind Su Fei to their own benefit and obtain his protection. They were determined to force him to marry into the Meng family and accept more than 30 concubines. What should he do?

Political Commissar Zhao Gang's wise eyes flickered, and he smiled. "Comrade Su Fei, we in the Eighth Route Army are both principled and flexible. How about this: you think of yourself as a secret underground Party member who has infiltrated the enemy. For the Eighth Route Army and the War of Resistance, for the fundamental interests of the people, you must be humble and willing to compromise. Is that okay? The masses in different places have different characteristics. No matter what, you must integrate with them! Sometimes, you have to accommodate the masses' backward ideas and slowly change them. Changing people's minds is difficult, so you need to be patient."

He proposed that Su Fei go to Baijia Town to organize an armed force, temporarily not using the names of the Eighth Route Army and the Independent Regiment, but using the names of local militia or guerrillas.

Li Yunlong kicked Su Fei and said, "Why don't you thank the political commissar for his magnanimity? He's already married, so you can do whatever you want and marry as many as you want. Wo Ri, are you still a cadre? How about we switch?"

Deputy Head Kong Jie rolled his eyes at him. "Old Li, you're going too far! What else do you want with a gray, old cucumber face like you? If you were to go, the people of Baijia Town would have nightmares every day! Hahahaha."

Finally, the political commissar gave Su Fei a reassurance: "As long as you don't violate our army's discipline and don't maliciously and proactively infringe upon the interests and demands of the masses, it's all fine! In addition, we will send some comrades to help, or even secretly help you. Go ahead and do what's right in Baijia Town!"

Su Fei was very happy.

Unexpectedly, the political commissar was so open-minded and good at making adjustments based on actual conditions.

"Okay, I will resolutely implement the decisions and requirements of the regiment headquarters meeting! We will adapt to local conditions, the times, and the people, and carry out the work of organizing the masses' armed forces in Baijia Town. We will quickly establish a revolutionary team that is loyal to the Party and the country, has a good style, and can win battles. We will contribute to the Party's cause in the War of Resistance and do our utmost to help."

you?

Li Yunlong, Kong Jie, Zhang Dabiao, and Zhao Gang were shocked once again.

A young man, a young comrade who had been in the army for less than two months, was good at fighting, which is understandable, but his cultural and political literacy were also so high? He could speak so fluently and concisely? It was really unfathomable!

No longer caring about their looks, Su Fei made a request to find someone to be his assistant or instructor. This person was the security officer Zhu Ziming.

In fact, Su Fei wanted to transfer the traitor Zhu Ziming away from the independent group so that he could not communicate with Yamamoto.

From then on, there would be no more tragic incidents such as Yamamoto's special forces sneak attack on Zhaojiayu, kidnapping Li Yunlong's wife Xiuqin, and sacrificing an outstanding female soldier.

This can be considered as repaying Li Yunlong's promotion and cultivation.

Once in Baijia Town, Su Fei can carefully monitor Zhu Ziming, and even conduct sting operations to uncover the enemy's intelligence network and completely eliminate the hidden dangers of internal traitors.

Unexpectedly, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang rejected it in unison, believing that Zhu Ziming was not qualified in any aspect.

Li Yunlong encouraged Su Fei, saying that he was an all-round commander and could definitely stand on his own!

Zhao Gang nodded, Zhang Dabiao clapped his hands, and Kong Jieshu gave a thumbs up!
