Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, Kong Jie, the famous Jinbei Iron Triangle in "Bright Sword", the nanjing military academy sweeping road trio, is also a "trio of learning farts" and "rehearsing a fart trio".
The reason why Li Yunlong spat out fragrant words and wore a dress rehearsal in a new military uniform, and there was also a "dress rehearsal trio" that made a big fuss at the training ground, the reason was two words: military rank.
All three were dissatisfied with their award of the rank of major general, complained, and were then approved by the teacher.
The scene of "Bright Sword" is very realistic, because most of the generals had no opinions when the title was awarded in 1955, some generals even took the initiative to give up the title five times, and some generals who were obviously awarded lower ranks for various reasons also had no opinions, but there were also some generals who were not satisfied with their ranks, and even there were noisy and crying things, just as the so-called "boys have tears and do not flick, only because they have not yet arrived at the time of awarding the title."
It is worth mentioning that Zhong Wei, one of Ding Wei's main prototypes and one of Li Yunlong's prototypes, has made a fuss because of the title of major general, so the historical background of this play of "Bright Sword" is very appropriate.
Of course, one of the reasons why the Iron Triangle of the Northwest Jin Dynasty has been awarded major generals is the "unspoken rules" of war dramas and historical dramas, the founding lieutenant generals belong to senior generals can not be adapted at will, Li Yunlong, Kong Jie and Ding Wei are fictional characters from the prototype, in this case it is not absolutely impossible to make a lieutenant general, but the approval is more difficult, and the range of adaptation is subject to a lot of restrictions, and making a major general will reduce a lot of processes and can also play more drama space.
So, what if you set aside the "unspoken rules" of historical dramas? The author believes that if that were the case, the ranks of major generals of Li Yunlong and Ding Wei would be just right, after all, half of the cadres at the rank of regular army were awarded to lieutenant generals, and half were awarded to major generals, and there was nothing wrong with Li Yunlong and Ding Wei conferring major generals. However, Kong Jie, who was also at the level of the regular army, suffered some losses.
Why? Let's talk one by one.
First, Li Yunlong
Li Yunlong was a regimental commander during the Red Army period, and if he had not made a few mistakes, he might have been promoted to the division level or even the military level, after all, at that time, the cadres sacrificed a lot, and the troop frame was also large, and young military commanders abounded. However, there was no way, who let him Li Yunlong always cause trouble, the highest in the entire Red Army period was the regimental commander, which directly affected his subsequent promotion. If he is a red army divisional cadre, that is also one of the basic conditions for the award of the rank of lieutenant general.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Li Yunlong spent most of his time as the commander of the regiment, first the commander of the new regiment of the 386 brigade, and then the leader of the independent regiment, don't watch the TV series to make the independent regiment worse than the 772 regiment, in fact, the 772 regiment with the official number is the absolute main force, Li Yunlong's regiment is newly built, the status is lower. Most of the regimental commanders of the Eighth Route Army when it was first established were lieutenant generals and even several generals after liberation.
Obviously, Li Yunlong's seniority during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was also not particularly high, even though his main prototype was Wang Jinshan.
During the Liberation War, Li Yunlong served as the commander of the second division of a certain column in Huaye, and performed prominently in the Battle of Huaihai in the Great Decisive Battle, and if he had not been injured, he might have been promoted to the rank of commander during the great reorganization before the Battle of Crossing the River, after all, the expansion of the troops at that time was too fierce and there was a shortage of cadres.
However, Li Yunlong was injured, and when he was recuperating, he not only missed the end of the Huaihai Campaign, but also missed the Battle of Crossing the River, the Battle of Ninghuhang, and the march into Fujian, just as he himself said, he could not catch up one step at a time, he could not catch up step by step, and when he returned from his wounds, he could only be an acting commander.
When he was the acting commander, he had not yet fought a battle and could not get the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, so Li Yunlong could only live the addiction of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea while jumping to his feet and cursing people.
Therefore, to synthesize Li Yunlong's resume, the regimental level during the Red Army period, the regimental level during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the division level in the War of Liberation, the military level after the founding of the People's Republic of China, plus the mistakes he made in the past, Ding Wei has a good sentence, it is good not to give you a colonel. Fortunately, Li Yunlong did not overturn the car at Zhang Bailu, if it were not for Kong Jie pulling him in time, Li Yunlong would really be a colonel once he overturned the car, and the military commander Yin Xianbing, who was also born in Erye, was a typical example, and the bridge section that was unwilling to wear a new military uniform was estimated to come from Yin Xianbing.
2. Ding Wei
Ding Wei's identity when he appeared was actually slightly lower than that of Li Yunlong and Kong Jie, he was the commander of the 28th Regiment of the Military Sub-district, which was even lower than the independent regiment of the 386 Brigade and the new regiment, and even more incomparable with the Fan number regiment when the Eighth Route Army was founded, so when the Headquarters of the Eighth Route Army transferred him to be the commander of the new regiment, it was equivalent to a promotion.
To put it more, when Ding Wei saw the head of the Eighth Route Army headquarters, he shouted "old chief", which was obviously called according to the identity of Zhong Wei, who was the old man of the Red Third Army.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, although Ding Wei was resourceful, he was still a regimental commander most of the time, similar to Li Yunlong. During the Liberation War, he fought very well in the northeast battlefield, claiming that a division swept Liao Yaoxiang and an army, and also secretly opened his own pot to sell wine, which was also Zhong Wei's way.
Zhong Wei was promoted to column commander in Shino and later served as the commander of the 49th Army. Ding Wei also followed this path, and was already a military commander before he arrived at the Nanjing Military Academy.
Because Zhong Wei did not participate in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, coupled with his small problems, and the defeat of the 49th Army's Qingshuping, he was awarded the rank of major general, and there was still no problem, after all, his seniority was somewhat shallow, and there were more minor problems. However, Zhong Wei is a high-ranking position, which is also Ding Wei in "Bright Sword".
Combining Ding Wei's resume in "Bright Sword" and the resume of his main prototype Zhong Wei, there is nothing wrong with his major general.
3. Kong Jie
Kong Jie is probably a relatively low-key one in the northwest iron triangle of Jinxi, but also a more "honest" one, he usually does not take the initiative to complain, when Li Yunlong and Ding Wei complain, he will also persuade him, and then he will follow the complaint.
Although it seems that the ghost ideas of fighting are not as good as Li Yunlong and Ding Weiduo, Kong Jiegui is strong in principle, a brave general, and his big knife is no less than Li Yunlong.
It is reasonable to say that Kong Jie's seniority is half a head lower than That of Li Yunlong, after all, he joined the army late, and he was a new recruit in front of Li Yunlong, and the seniority of the two during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was also equal, and both of them fought hard battles and were also swept up by the regimental commanders, and no one should look down on anyone.
Under normal circumstances, Kong Jie, who was the commander of the Army in Siye, should also be a major general, after all, the seniority was placed there, and Li Yunlong Ding Wei was similar.
However, while Li Yunlong was recuperating from his wounds, Kong Jie participated in several key battles in succession, and the troops he led participated in the Battle of Hengbao, the Battle of Guangxi, and the Battle of Liberating Hainan Island, and then went north to participate in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, becoming the first batch of volunteers to enter the DPRK.
According to Kong Jie's experience, he successively led his army to participate in the Hainan Campaign and the early campaign to resist US aggression and aid Korea, and there was only one commander in the history of our army who met this resume, Wen Yucheng, commander of the 40th Army.
It is worth mentioning that Wen Yucheng's seniority during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the Liberation War was similar to that of Kong Jie, and he even served as a division commander under Zhong Wei in Siye, which is equivalent to Kong Jie being a division commander under Ding Wei.
However, Wen Yucheng's 40th Army fought very well in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and was one of the best performers; Wen Yucheng was also known as the Top Ten Tiger Generals in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea; with this merit, he was awarded the rank of lieutenant general in 1955.
This is an interesting phenomenon, when Wen Yucheng's superior Zhong Wei is a major general, Wen Yucheng is a lieutenant general, in "Bright Sword" it is equivalent to Ding Wei is a major general, Kong Jie should be a lieutenant general.
To sum up, if other factors are ignored and only according to the qualifications and battle merits of the Northwest Iron Triangle of Jin, Li Yunlong awarded major generals without any loss, and Ding Wei is also nothing wrong, but Kong Jie is a bit of a loss.
