"Bright Sword" is a war drama, but also has the composition of historical drama and military drama, which also makes the drama have a variety of topics, one of which is the rank of each character.
When the Jinbei Iron Triangle was trained at the Nanjing Military Academy, the root cause was not because he felt that his military rank was low, and the topic of military rank has always been a hot topic in the military fan circle, especially involving historical figures and film and television dramas, because there are more materials and stories, and it is more interesting to compare them in a row.
This article is about a small supporting role in "Bright Sword", the military rank of Zhang Wanhe, the director of the Logistics Department, after liberation, don't look at the small role, this person still hides a secret of Li Yunlong's military rank.
1. Who is Zhang Wanhe?
Identity, status, resume, position, merit and other factors are important reference elements for military rank evaluation, because "Bright Sword" is a film and television drama, the names of the characters in the play are basically fictional, we want to know Zhang Wanhe's military rank after liberation, then we must know who he is, that is, his prototype.
Zhang Wanhe is the director of the Logistics Department, how old is this official?
From the plot of "Bright Sword", we know that Li Yunlong was once transferred to the garment factory as the director of the garment factory because of battlefield disobedience, and the superior leader of the garment factory was Zhang Wanhe, so Zhang Wanhe looked for two hundred sets of military uniforms that he wanted to take away when he saw Li Yunlong again.
The sign hanging at the door of this garment factory is "Eighth Route Army Quilt Factory", which allows Li Yunlong to casually take away two hundred military uniforms without reporting them (the brigade commander does not know), so that it can be judged that the scale of this garment factory is quite large, and it is unlikely to be the logistics department of the 129th Division.
In the same way, Zhang Wanhe could easily personally give Li Yunlong twenty boxes of grenades, and only needed a command knife as a "rebate", indicating that Zhang Wanhe and the logistics minister's power was not small, and the output of the arsenal was not small.
Li Yunlong had just unloaded the grenades he had received from Zhang Wanhe, and the Yamazaki Brigade attacked the logistics and arsenal of the Eighth Route Army, which was obviously the eve of the battle of Guanjia'an.
The historical Battle of Guanjiayan was because the blind cat of the Japanese Okazaki Brigade encountered the Eighth Route Army's water loin arsenal in Huangyadong, which was the largest arsenal of the Eighth Route Army, so the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army was very anxious, and ordered the 772nd Regiment and the 16th Regiment of the 386th Brigade to urgently attack the Okazaki Brigade, triggering the Battle of Guanjiayan.
The Okazaki Brigade is the Yamazaki Brigade in "Bright Sword", the 772nd Regiment is the 772nd Regiment in "Bright Sword", and the blind man Cheng Shifa should be the then commander of the 772nd Regiment, so obviously, the Huangyadong Arsenal is where Li Yunlong found Zhang Wanhe and asked for twenty boxes of grenades.
Zhang Wanhe was in charge of both the Eighth Route Army's arsenal and the clothing factory, and according to the plot of the TV series "Bright Sword", the prototype of Zhang Wanhe, the director of the logistics department, should be Yang Lisan, then the logistics director and political commissar of the Eighteenth Group Army.
Born in Changsha, Hunan Province in 1900, Yang Lisan became a soldier in 1920 and served as a logistical heavy worker during the Red Army period, and has always been a famous "big butler" of our army. Unfortunately, Yang Lisan died of illness in 1954 after liberation at the age of 54.
Yang Lisan did not catch up with the title, but about twenty days before his death, Yang Lisan was appointed as the director of the Finance Department of the Central Military Commission, and his rank was the same as that of the chief of the general staff and the director of the General Logistics Department, so if he did not die prematurely due to illness, Yang Lisan was likely to be awarded the title of general, and the lowest was also a general.
So, does this mean that Zhang Wanhe can be awarded the title of general or even a general after liberation? Of course not.
Second, "Bright Sword" made an adaptation of Zhang Wanhe
Under normal circumstances, with the seniority and position of the logistics director of the Eighteenth Group Army, Li Yunlong is unlikely to sit with others and talk nonsense, Yang Lisan once served as deputy chief of the general staff of the Eighth Route Army, Li Yunlong is a regimental commander who is not the main force regiment, and it is difficult for the two to appear as brothers and brothers.
Therefore, "Bright Sword" adapted the background of Zhang Wanhe and this role, and from Li Yunlong's lines, we can know that Zhang Wanhe is Li Yunlong's hometown, that is, a Dabie Mountain man, and he also has a very good relationship with Li Yunlong, so that Li Yunlong can take away two hundred new military uniforms and twenty boxes of grenades.
In this way, it is clear that Zhang Wanhe should also be an old man of the Red Fourth Front Who fought in the Eyu-Anhui base area.
In addition, in the original novel "Bright Sword", Zhang Wanhe also appeared in the later stages, according to the content of the novel, Zhang Wanhe served as the division commander of Siye during the Liberation War, served as the chief of staff of the Grand Military Region in the 50s and 60s after liberation, and was still talking to Li Yunlong on the phone.
If written according to the novel "Bright Sword", Zhang Wanhe's rank can only be major general, and the chief of staff of the Grand Military Region is no exception.
Third, the "Bright Sword" TV series has a military rank "unspoken rule"
Some netizens may say that since Zhang Wanhe can be the chief of staff of the grand military region, can't he be a lieutenant general?
One of the simplest reasons is that he has a name, called Zhang Wanhe, and this detail determines that he can only be a major general.
In war-themed film and television dramas, if a role in our army is a rank of lieutenant general or above, then this role must be a real historical figure, and the role below the lieutenant general, even a major general, can be fictionalized.
Therefore, if you look at the boss of the Eighth Route Army in "Bright Sword", he is called the chief, the commander of the 129th Division is called the division commander, the brigade commander of the 386th Brigade is called the brigade commander, and the political commissar (who may also be the chief of staff) of the 386th Brigade does not have a name.
The reason why "Bright Sword" is filmed like this is to give full play to some artistic adaptations, if they are real names, the adaptation range of many plots is very small, and can only be filmed according to history.
Therefore, when Li Yunlong first met Minister Zhang, Zhang Kou called out the name of Zhang Wanhe, the minister of logistics, and was already doomed to zhang Wanhe's military rank after liberation, which was no more than major general.
