Among the many films with the theme of the War of Resistance, "Bright Sword" can be regarded as a standout, the plot, battle scenes and actor acting skills of this drama are excellent, and the description of the national army is also relatively objective, creating a rather strategic, elegant temperament Chu Yunfei.
In addition, there is also a pair of "golden partners" in the play, that is, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang, who have led the independent regiment to fight many victorious battles and have established a deep revolutionary friendship with each other. It was only during the Liberation War that the two of them were separated, and li Yunlong bargained with his superiors later, which transferred Zhao Gang back.
Not long after Zhao Gang partnered with Li Yunlong, he gave a paper order and transferred Zhao Gang to the column as the director of the political department. There is a very confusing scene here, that is, when he learned that Zhao Gang was going to serve in the column, Li Yunlong was very unhappy, scolding and grinning, "What is the boss of this political department?" ”
Logically speaking, Zhao Gang was transferred from the political commissar of the division to the director of the political department of the column, and obviously he was promoted half a level and became a cadre at the deputy military level. Let's move on.
Some people may think that Li Yunlong is reluctant to say this only after Zhao Gang left, after all, they are brothers who were born into death, and now they have just reunited not long before they are separated, and it is understandable that Li Yunlong can't go through in his heart.
But in fact, if you think about it carefully, Li Yunlong is not such a selfish person, if Zhao Gang is a high-riser, he will definitely be happy for his old comrades-in-arms. The key lies in the background of that era, the director of the political department of the column was indeed not much better than the political commissar of the division.
As we all know, in times of war, military commanders are undoubtedly "fragrant", they lead the troops to charge the front, there are many opportunities for meritorious service, and it is easier to be appreciated by their superiors, so as to get promoted. In contrast, the post of director of the political department is not so open, everyone is leading troops to fight in the front, and the ideological work in the rear is naturally not so much valued. For example, Xie Fang, chief of staff of the Volunteer Army, was so high-ranking, but because he did not go to the front, he was only awarded major general in the end.
In the play, Zhao Gang is the political commissar of Huaye's main division, who can lead the troops to fight, and coupled with Li Yunlong's ability, they can turn around after fighting a few victorious battles. At that time, it was also possible for Zhao Gang to be directly promoted to the political commissar of the column. Therefore, in Li Yunlong's view, following the field troops on the front line has a future, running to the back to grind their lips, and when this idle post is undoubtedly a waste of a great opportunity to make meritorious achievements.
Zhao Gang naturally understood this truth, but he had high consciousness and obeyed the organizational arrangements, and finally went to his post. When he looked at the back, Zhao Gang's painting style was obviously different, he often stood on the stage and spoke, doing ideological work for the captives, and became a teacher. For Zhao Gang, who is both literate and martial, this is indeed a condescending talent, and his promotion space has become narrow as a result.
Fortunately, Zhao Gang received an important task later, went to the nationalist camp to plot a rebellion, and successfully completed the task, which turned around in his life. Later, Zhao Gang was highly valued by his superiors, and he successively served as deputy political commissar and political commissar of the column, and became a cadre at the level of a regular army.
It is worth mentioning that after the division commander Li Yunlong was wounded and hospitalized, he missed many battles, but he still became a military commander after he came out. This can also be seen from the side that in the revolutionary years, the military commanders who led the troops to fight were of high status and were more likely to be reused.
