introduction
I believe that many post-90s have watched the popular anti-Japanese TV series "Bright Sword", and the number of times this TV series has been replayed and its popularity is no less than that of classic film and television dramas such as Journey to the West. In "Bright Sword", the image of the protagonist Li Yunlong is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and in Li Yunlong, we can see many of his "bad problems", and we can also see his heroism and national righteousness.
The anti-Japanese drama "Bright Sword" is different from most anti-Japanese dramas, not only the character image is prominent, but the war is relatively real, and there is no such exaggerated shot. However, in the scene where Li Yunlong defeated the Yamazaki brigade with 3600 grenades and killed him, it did not feel very real for a while, and many people questioned that in reality, the Eighth Route Army's method of defeating the Yamazaki brigade was almost impossible.
So, in "Bright Sword", Li Yunlong defeated Yamazaki with 3600 grenades, is it possible in reality?
The answer is obvious, it is difficult to do, but considering that it is a TV series, there is nothing wrong with acting like this, before Li Yunlong defeated the Yamazaki brigade, the Eighth Route Army had lost several times in a row, which could already reflect that it was not easy for the Yamazaki brigade to be defeated, and finally for the sake of television effects, Li Yunlong, a person with the aura of the protagonist, was glamorous.
Why is it that Li Yunlong could not defeat the Yamazaki Brigade by using 3600 grenades? This is clearly against a certain amount of common sense. At that time, the Yamazaki Brigade had already built fortifications, occupied dangerous terrain, and was in a condescending posture, which made it difficult for the Eighth Route Army to attack many times.
After the Eighth Route Army failed to attack the Yamazaki Brigade many times, the brigade commander thought of Li Yunlong, who had many ideas for fighting, and Li Yunlong asked the whole regiment to concentrate all the grenades together, a total of 3600 grenades, which was already enough ammunition for the Eighth Route Army at that time.
As we all know, grenades are thrown by hand after all, and the distance thrown by people is limited, and at this time, the Yamazaki brigade on the defensive side has occupied the high ground, resisting danger, and the range of machine guns can be fired at least a few hundred meters.
In order to get the troops close to the position of the Yamazaki Brigade, Li Yunlong adopted the method of digging trenches and extending to the position of the Yamazaki Brigade. Li Yunlong's soldiers of the independent regiment extended to tens of meters from the position of the Yamazaki brigade, and thousands of grenades were thrown down together, instantly defeating the Yamazaki brigade.
At first glance, it seems that there is no problem, digging trenches to extend, with trench cover, can reduce the vast majority of casualties. However, this kind of indigenous method was difficult and unrealistic to deal with the Japanese army during the War of Resistance Against Japan.
If nothing else, just dig the trenches and stretch forward, how big the project is. It is manpower, and when digging trenches, the body has to hide in the trenches without being exposed, and it is simply impossible to move.
In addition, the Japanese troops occupying the commanding heights can also clearly see that some people are approaching them, and will use powerful firepower to repel the Soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who are digging trenches and approaching them. Therefore, if it is placed in reality, by digging trenches to approach the Japanese troops who have occupied the high point of defense, not only will they not be able to defeat them, but the casualties will be very serious.
In fact, Li Yunlong's defeat of Yamazaki's brigade is very similar to the Eighth Route Army's attack on Guanjia'an. The Eighth Route Army was unable to defeat the Okazaki detachment of the Japanese army after paying a heavy casualty price, and eventually the Eighth Route Army was forced to withdraw from the battle due to most of the Support of the Japanese Army.
The Okazaki detachment in the Battle of Guanjia'an is similar to the Yamazaki brigade in "Bright Sword", and it is also a lone army that has penetrated deep into the base area of the Eighth Route Army. At that time, in order to eliminate this 500-strong Japanese Okazaki detachment, Peng Zong mobilized the strength of three brigades and two regiments, and under the command of Peng Zong, the Eighth Route Army surrounded the Okazaki detachment with absolute superiority.
The final result was unexpected, in the face of this 500-strong Okazaki detachment, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army fought bloodily for two days and two nights and failed to completely annihilate it, but they suffered great losses themselves. In the Battle of Guanjia'an, the Eighth Route Army showed that it was not afraid of sacrifice. The spirit of fighting with the Japanese, but helplessly the Japanese defensive ring with one ring, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army did their best to eliminate the Okazaki detachment.
It is worth mentioning that in the Battle of Guanjia'an, the Eighth Route Army did not use a large number of grenades to attack the Japanese army, but took a frontal attack. At that time, in this situation, the only way to break the enemy was to attack from the front, and there was no other way.
epilogue
In "Bright Sword", Li Yunlong defeated the Yamazaki Brigade, although there is a big difference with reality, but the meaning shown in the film and television drama is that the protagonist Li Yunlong will fight, and the heroic struggle of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army will enhance the excitement of the TV series "Bright Sword" through a hearty battle.
The real War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was far more brutal than in "Bright Sword", and the great sacrifices made by the Eighth Route Army in the War of Resistance Against Japan and the great contribution made to the War of Resistance Against Japan could not be erased. Today, we must face history squarely and remember the blood of our revolutionary ancestors for the peaceful life we have today.
