Introduction: After Li Yunlong was freed from danger from Zhao Jiayu in "Bright Sword", he asked the cavalry communication squad to quickly tell the battalion companies to return the formation immediately, and when the various units that did not clear the situation were assembled, they were surprised to find that the independent regiment had actually expanded to more than 7,000 people, and there were more than 2,000 people in the battalion under Zhang Dabiao's hand. What a miracle
Many bright sword fans feel that this proves that Zhang Dabiao is particularly capable, so his battalion can become the largest number of troops, in fact, this just proves that they have no military common sense, in fact, 2,000 people is too normal for a unit. The author of "Bright Sword" is actually a military writer, and he knows perfectly how many people a unit has, and he can write this detail very accurately.
The Eighth Route Army actually made two major progress in the anti-Japanese battlefield behind enemy lines, the first time was around 1938, after the battlefield behind the enemy lines had been completely opened, from less than 40,000 people crossing the Yellow River to about 300,000 people later, this data we can refer to the Hundred Regiments War in 1940 to verify, the eighth route army units involved in the operation actually had one hundred and five regimental numbers, and there were no part of the troops participating in the battle, each regiment had about 1500 to 2000 people.
Although the Battle of the Hundred Regiments was of great significance, the Japanese army in North China also slowly valued it, and later recruited a large number of troops to prepare for retaliation and "sweep" our army, especially after the battle of Zhongtiao Mountain in 1941, the main force of the Kuomintang army north of the Yellow River was defeated, and the enemy could use all its strength to deal with the Eighth Route Army, which was the most difficult and sad period for the anti-Japanese resistance in North China. The weakness of the low quality of our army's ranks was also slowly revealed, and the losses were heavy during the anti-sweeping, and the three old comrades in "Bright Sword" also talked about this matter, the new regiment was wiped out by one-third, and the new second regiment suffered more than half of the casualties.
"Bright Sword" particularly loyal fans should know what the three battalion commanders of the independent regiment are called, we repeat: Zhang Dabiao, Shen Quan and Wang Huaibao, as a film and television drama work, can not be "noisy", so in these supporting roles we only have some impressions of Zhang Dabiao, Shen Quan is only with Zhang Dabiao, fighting, as for Wang Huaibao only appeared in Li Yunlong's mouth.
Most of the losses of the independent regiment were the new first regiment and the new second regiment, the cadres were wounded and died accounted for three-fifths, about half of the soldiers were wounded and died, of which the second battalion commander Shen Quan and the third battalion commander Wang Huaibao also died in this battle, he must also need to re-appoint two new battalion commanders. Later, the regimental headquarters and guards accepted the order to be stationed in ZhaoJiayu, and as for the battalion companies, they slowly separated to the rich northwestern region of Jinbei and began to develop, so that they were separated for more than a year, and the second great progress of the Eighth Route Army after 1943 also began at this time, because the Pacific Theater exhausted the elite of the Japanese army.
After being gathered together again, Li Yunlong was a little surprised after calculating that there were more than 7,000 people under his hands: "Where are so many people under my hands?"? However, at that time, the independent regiment had not yet carried out a complete plan, and it was still the most basic size of the three battalions, so it was arranged according to the 1:2:2:2 troops, and the regiment's direct subordinate team had been expanded to 1,000 people, and the battalions had also developed to more than 2,000 people, which was particularly reasonable, and it was not Zhang Dabiao who stood out from the crowd.
The new commander of the second battalion gave us two "Italian guns" and 17 shells, and played a particularly important role in the struggle to attack the county seat of Ping'an. After the end of this war, Li Yunlong made a new formation of the independent regiment, because one battalion of 2,000 people is too much, so later there were eight battalions and combat units of the regimental headquarters guard unit, cavalry unit and reconnaissance unit, which is relatively regular.
Conclusion: And Zhang Dabiao can become the leader of the independent regiment after the reorganization, just because he is the only surviving old battalion commander, and the seniors can indeed become the regiment leader. It is precisely because of this large force that when the Kuomintang-Communist Civil War broke out, there was no need for our army to follow the old set of establishments formulated by Chongqing during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. At this time, Li Yunlong, who had about 10,000 people, must have also become a division commander, and at the beginning of his Jinji-Hebei Luyu Field Army under the 129th Division, after the breakthrough of the Central Plains, he went to the East China Field Army, and the number also became the Second Division of Huaye.
