" Bright Sword " is indeed a rare drama with conscience. 17 years have passed and is still sought after and has been replayed countless times by major TV stations. It premiered on CCTV in 2005, and won a super high rating of 13.7%, and its Douban score was as high as 9.4 points. It is no exaggeration to say that after "Bright Sword", no anti-Japanese war drama can reach this level.
Li Yunlong decided to take geotunnel operations, close the position to the main peak of Guanjiawan, and then throw a large number of grenades to deal with the Japanese.
There are many factors that have made the success of "Bright Sword", but the real scenes, realistic battle scenes, close to history, fascinating plots, and distinctive protagonists all truly restore the difficulties and hardships of the Eighth Route Army during the War of Resistance Against Japan and move forward bravely. Moreover, this drama has a story prototype, and each character in the drama can find the corresponding prototype. For example, Li Yunlong is Wang Jinshan; Ding Wei is Zhong Wei; Kong Jie is Xiao Quanfu; Zhao Gang is Li Zhen. The brigade commander in the play is Chen Geng, and General Peng, Liu Shuai, Political Commissar Deng, etc. can all be found in the play.

However, "Bright Sword" is not perfect, and there are many mistakes and flaws, and some are not in line with the real history. For example, Li Yunlong's strong and fierce personality, repeatedly disobeyed orders, dared to tie up Commander Kong, sarcastically mocked Political Commissar Zhao, etc. These plots adopted exaggerated artistic techniques, and it was impossible for them to happen in the real history of the Eighth Route Army.
Also, the Guanjiawu battle in Hundred Regiments Battle in is not as described in the play. Li Yunlong led Independent Regiments to and solved the problem with 3,600 grenades, and killed captain Yamazaki (the real name is Okazaki Ken). This plot is not very real and does not match history.
3600 grenades were dropped at Yamazaki Brigade
Speaking of this, I have to talk about Li Yunlong, the leader of the independent group! When attacking Guan Jiadong, political commissar Zhao Gang went to the brigade headquarters for a meeting and did not get the main attack task. Instead, the 772nd Regiment of the 129th Division served as the main attacker and the Independent Regiment served as the reserve team. After returning, Li Yunlong complained and did not win the opportunity to attack. Li Yunlong first got angry at the deputy commander Kong Jie. Political Commissar Zhao Gang persuaded him, and Li Yunlong turned his finger to Zhao Gang again.
Let me add a sentence here. The brigade department held a military meeting. Why didn’t the regiment commander Li Yunlong attend, but let the political commissar Zhao Gang attend? This just shows that Li Yunlong is so disobedient and his superiors are still not very relieved about him. He is brave and resourceful in war, good at attacking difficulties, and has appeal, but he has poor organizational discipline and often disobeys military orders. This is also a recognized fact.
Li Yunlong got angry at Zhao Gang
When Zhao Gang persuaded Kong Jie to relieve the fire, Li Yunlong turned around and fired at Zhao Gang: "Old Zhao, don't pretend to be a good person here! You went to the brigade headquarters to hold a meeting, why didn't you compete with the brigade commander? If I went, the blind man Cheng from his 772nd Regiment dared to compete with me for the main attack, and he even opposed him! When he joined the army, I taught him to fire the gun step by step. Now he has become a sperm? He is just bullying you, Lao Zhao is an intellectual!"
Regiment Commander Cheng was helpless
even though Zhao Gang had a good temper, he couldn't help it at this time. He retorted: " Old Li , why are you like a hungry wolf? Ah! Everyone is grinning! I have only been in the Independent Group for a few days. How many times have you been angry at me? It would be fine if I don't know you, but you are still getting worse and worse! Let me tell you, Zhao Gang is here to fight against Japan and save the country, not to be angry! If you have anger, find a place where no one is going to hit the wall with your head!"
Li Yunlong pointed at Kong Jie with his finger and
Here are a few sentences: In fact, Kong Jie is the leader of the Independent Group. He was punished by the Eighth Route Army headquarters for his failure to command the war, and his position as leader was removed from his position, and Li Yunlong was transferred to the Independent Group as the leader. Li Yunlong was also a troublemaker. He disobeyed the order of his superiors to retreat and forced himself to break out from the front. Although he defeated Sakata United , the new first regiment also suffered major casualties, which was considered as "killing one thousand enemies and hurting eight hundred themselves". Therefore, the headquarters was furious and revoked his position as the leader of the new first regiment and transferred him to the service factory as the director.
After Kong Jie was dismissed, no one from the Independent Group was available, so Li Yunlong was transferred to serve as the leader. Li Yunlong was soft and forced to help him, begging his superiors to stay Kong Jie as deputy commander. Zhao Gang is a college student from Beiping . He graduated from Yenjing University and was transferred to the Independent League as the political commissar. Therefore, the three commanders of the Independent Regiment are in a running-in period.
Li Yunlong and political commissar Zhao Gang lost their temper
From the anger that Li Yunlong was furious about Zhao Gang, he looked down on the leader of the 772nd regiment, the leader of the 772nd regiment, Daddy Cheng! However, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the leader of the 772nd Regiment was awarded the rank of lieutenant general, and Li Yunlong was only awarded the title of major general! So when he was awarded the title of 55, Li Yunlong was indignant and said why did blind man Cheng be awarded the title of lieutenant general?
Li Yunlong showed off his tactics in front of the brigade commander
In fact, some people say that the prototype of the leader of the 772nd Regiment in the play is Chen Kang, a founding lieutenant general! This is up to be discussed. After checking historical data, it was found that Chen Kang was transferred to the 772nd Regiment as the leader after the Hundred Regiment War. His predecessor was Cheng Shifa, and when Cheng Shifa served as the leader of the 772nd Regiment occurred, the Guanjiadou Battle took place. However, Cheng Shifa's record of success after the Guanjiadian Battle was not very good and almost disappeared in the long river of history. It is unknown whether it is related to his failure in command of the Guanjiadian Battle. Information about Cheng Shifa's ending is not detailed. A more reliable saying is that he was seriously injured in the battle to liberate Linfen, and he was recuperating for a long time since then. He did not start working after the founding of the People's Republic of China. When he was awarded the title in 1955, he was no longer in the army because he no longer worked in the army.
The leader of the 772nd Regiment in the play, Cheng Xiazi,
This shows that although Li Yunlong has made military achievements, he has a bad temper and is angry. He always thinks he is self-righteous and disobeys the military order. When he crosses the grassland on the way to Long March 2, he ordered his subordinates to grab grain. Therefore, he was dismissed and sent to the company to be a mate, marching with an iron pot on his back. So his position has been ups and downs, and he was awarded the title of major general after the founding of the People's Republic of China. This is the reason. Zhao Gang's prototype is General Li Zhen. He was instead named Lieutenant General in 1955, both of which are higher than Li Yunlong's military rank.
However, General Li Zhen served as the Minister of Public Security in the early days of the turmoil, and later hanged himself in the underground garage. Zhao Gang in the play also committed suicide in the turmoil, which is highly consistent with history.
Li Yunlong is very jealous and has a bad temper
In fact, Li Yunlong said that he once taught a blind man to shoot a gun, which is very likely! Both of them are from Red Fourth Front Army , and are both Red Army generals from the Hubei-Henan-Anhui base. They have worked together. Chen Kang and Cheng Shifa did join the Red Army one year later than Wang Jinshan, and became regiment commanders one year later than him. So Li Yunlong said that it is entirely possible for him to shoot a blind man.
Li Yunlong mocked Commander Cheng in person, but he didn't know that he was the leader of the main group
but Li Yunlong forgot that the 772nd Regiment was a serious main group, one of the 12th Regiment of the 6th Brigade of the 3rd Division of the Eighth Route Army, and was a regiment recognized by the National Government . Whether it was the independent regiment or the New First Regiment, the teaching regiment, the secret service regiment, etc. were all set up by the Eighth Route Army itself. At that time, it was an off-staff system and was not the main group. Therefore, Li Yunlong looked down on blind man Cheng, and it is hard to say that there is no jealousy factor here. The 772nd Regiment served as the main attacker of the Guanjiadou battle, which also indirectly illustrates this issue. If the main team does not serve as the main attacker, do we still need the independent team outside the staff to serve as the main attacker? This just shows that the arrangements of the division commander, brigade commander and even the Eighth Route Army headquarters are wise and correct.
Yamazaki Brigade
As for the 772nd Regiment in the play, he had no choice but to replace it with the independent Regiment. When Li Yunlong received the task, he was proud and shouted to Captain Cheng: "How did I teach you how to shoot in the past? Now I will teach you how to fight!" This is obviously just artistic processing! In the real Guanjiaya Battle, the Eighth Route Army dispatched 10 regiments, the Shanxi Youth Death Column and a unit of the New 10th Brigade, a total of more than 20,000 people. They fought for two days and nights without achieving their full success, and failed to wipe out the Okazaki Battalion (actually the Okazaki Detachment, with a total of more than 500 people). Later, the Japanese reinforcements approached, and the Eighth Route Army had no choice but to withdraw the siege. Okazaki Ken led the remaining seventy or eighty people to leave calmly with the support of the reinforcements.
Li Yunlong looked down on blind man Cheng, but after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he turned out to be a lieutenant general
. He said that even if the plot is real, it cannot show that the 772nd Regiment has poor combat effectiveness! In fact, the Guanjiadou Battle is definitely a tough tough trick, and it is also one of the four major defeated battles recognized by General Peng! When the 772nd Regiment was withdrawn, it had been fighting for more than eight hours, with heavy casualties, but Yamazaki's brigade also suffered heavy damage, with few people left. At this time, Li Yunlong also had the luck to take the independent regiment.
Li Yunlong is selling his old qualifications
. The main force of the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army was the main force of the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, and the plot matches history. As the main regiment of the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division, the 772nd Regiment has no reason not to serve as the main attacker. The 129th Division has the 385th Brigade and the 386th Brigade, the 385th Brigade is under the jurisdiction of two regiments 769 and 770, and the 386th Brigade is under the jurisdiction of two regiments 771 and 772.
772 Regiment is definitely the first-class main force of the 386th Brigade. There are 6 regiment commanders. The first regiment commander Ye Chenghuan and the second regiment commander Yi Liangpin died in battle one after another; the third regiment commander Wang Caigui was the founding major general; the fourth regiment commander Cheng Shifa, the ending after the founding of the country is unknown; the fifth regiment commander Chen Kang, the founding lieutenant general, and the sixth regiment commander Zhou Xueyi, the founding major general.
Group Leader Cheng begs his superiors to give them another chance
The biggest possibility of Cheng Weizi Li Yunlong's words is Cheng Shifa. It is unknown whether he has any problems with his eyes, but his surname is the same. Cheng Shifa did not participate in the title award. The play says that Cheng Xiaozi was awarded the title of Lieutenant General in 1955, which is another contradiction, because among the six leaders of the 772nd Regiment, only the last four were alive when they were awarded the title, and only Chen Kang was the Lieutenant General. Ye Chenghuan and Yi Liangpin died early, and it is impossible for TV series to joke about revolutionary martyrs, joking about him as a "blind man", so only Cheng Shifa and General Chen Kang met the conditions.
Brigade Commander taught Li Yunlong a lesson in
In fact, film and television dramas are not documentaries. Art comes from life and is higher than life. We cannot be serious about the plot, after all, it is just a TV series. Although "Bright Sword" has flaws, its flaws do not hide its merits. Compared with some nonsensical anti-Japanese dramas, it is still a rare and good drama.
