Through the flames of the Anti-Japanese War, Chen Feng, who was a student of the fourth phase of Huangpu and Frunze, was appointed as the commander of the 389th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army. Faced with the integration problem of the New First Regiment, the Independent Regiment, the New Second Regiment and the newly built New Ninth Regiment, he went against all odds and invited back the "disobedient warrior" Li Yunlong from the uniform factory to restrain the unruly heroes with iron-blooded military discipline and use systematic tactics to reshape the combat effectiveness of the army.
He opened battlefield classrooms to integrate modern military theory into actual combat in northwest Shanxi; he promoted coordinated tactics to allow Ding Wei's blocking, Kong Jie's stability, and Li Yunlong's bravery to form a combined force; he cultivated new and powerful troops and turned the newly equipped New Ninth Regiment into a sharp edge in attacking tough situations. From the first glimpse of the defensive counterattack in Wild Wolf Valley to the thousands-mile rush to Pingxingguan for reinforcements, Chen Feng led the 389th Brigade to repeatedly overcome dangerous situations in the crazy raids of the Japanese invaders. With the bright sword spirit of "the brave will win when encountering on a narrow road", he composed a heroic anti-Japanese song between the iron-blooded brigade commander and the elite division on the Loess Plateau.
