"Bright Sword" He has mediocre qualifications, he has lost to the Japanese army 8 times, why was he still awarded the rank of lieutenant general in 1955? As we all know, in the TV series "Bright Sword", Li Yunlong, Kong Jie, and Ding Wei were awarded the rank of major general after graduating from the Nanjing Military Academy, that is, in 1955. With their military prowess and outstanding military exploits, it is not surprising that they were awarded the rank of major general, and even further, the rank of lieutenant general seems to be no fault. Kong Jie, in particular, was prominent in both the Liberation War and the Korean War, and was most likely awarded the rank of lieutenant general.
In addition to Li Yunlong, Kong Jie, and Ding Wei, there is also a regimental commander of the main force in the play, who has mediocre qualifications, lost to the Japanese army 8 times, and in 1955, he was awarded the rank of lieutenant general. He was Cheng Blind, in the Battle of Lijiapo, he was the first to grab the main offensive task, under his command, the 772nd Regiment launched 8 attacks on the Japanese army, the result of which 8 ended in failure, and also caused some casualties. 8 defeats to the Japanese army, but never learn the lesson of failure, still do not change tactics, blind charge, so that can only cause greater casualties, it can be seen that Cheng blind qualifications are very general.
However, although Cheng was not as good as Li Yunlong in terms of command level, or even as good as Kong Jie and Ding Wei, he was awarded the rank of lieutenant general. Of course, what title Cheng Blind Zi received is not explained in the play, but from his prototype and position, it is not difficult to deduce that he will most likely be awarded the rank of lieutenant general in 1955. So the question is, since Cheng blind man has mediocre qualifications and has lost to the Japanese army 8 times, why was he still awarded the rank of lieutenant general in 1955?
First of all, Cheng Blind zi has made outstanding achievements in battle. In the Battle of Lijiapo, although Cheng Blind Zi attacked 8 times in a row and lost to the Japanese army 8 times, this battle could not erase Cheng Blind Zi's achievements in other battlefields. Since Cheng Blind Zi was able to become the regimental commander of the 772nd Regiment (this regiment was formed in the early days of the Eighth Route Army, and the qualified veterans and soldiers were veterans who had participated in the Long March), it showed that he still had a certain ability and was deeply trusted by his superiors, such as Li Yunlong, who did not have this qualification to become the leader of the old regiment. In addition, the brigade commander had a lot of main regiments under his command, so why did he first give the main offensive task to Cheng Blind's 772 regiment? Obviously, it was because Cheng Blind had fought a lot of hard battles and vicious battles before, and finally won victories, so the brigade commander was relieved to entrust him with the main offensive task. In short, we can't talk about heroes in terms of the victory or defeat of a battle, and on the whole, Cheng Blind Zi is still a commander with outstanding military achievements!
Second, Cheng blind made fewer mistakes. Compared with Li Yunlong, Cheng Blind Zi is definitely a model commander who "obeys discipline and obeys commands". Why? From the play, it can be learned that Cheng Yunzi enlisted in the army later than Li Yunlong, and when Cheng Blind joined the army, Li Yunlong was at least at the level of squad leader or above, otherwise Li Yunlong would not have "taught him to put a gun by hand." Although the seniority was not as deep as Li Yunlong's, during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Cheng Blind zi was able to catch up with Li Yunlong and sit on an equal footing with Li Yunlong, both at the regimental level, and it is conceivable that Cheng Blind Zi absolutely rarely made mistakes. The reason why Li Yunlong worked in the position of regimental commander for more than ten years and was caught up by Cheng Blind was because he made too many mistakes, such as his experience of "five up and five down". In addition, during the Battle of Lijiapo, although cheng blind zi attacked unsuccessfully and held a fire in his stomach, when he received the brigade commander's order to evacuate, he still resolutely obeyed and did not disobey, which can also prove that Cheng blind man was a model commander who "obeyed discipline and obeyed commands". Make fewer mistakes, obey the order resolutely, and naturally give priority when evaluating titles!
In summary, although Cheng Blind zi was "mediocre in qualifications" and had lost to the Japanese army 8 times, on the whole, he was still outstanding in merit and made few mistakes, so it is not surprising that he was awarded the rank of lieutenant general in 1955!
