Among the many film and television dramas related to the War of Resistance, "Bright Sword" is undoubtedly a relatively successful masterpiece. With the popularity of this TV series, the protagonist of the play, Li Yunlong, is also widely known and deeply loved by the audience. So in history, who is the prototype of Li Yunlong? From the two points of battlefield disobedience and love to grab the spoils of war, the founding major general Zhong Wei is most similar to him. During the Liberation War, Zhong Wei disobeyed on the battlefield many times, but each time he won a victorious battle. After the victory, Zhong Wei often competed with his brother troops for booty, and several times almost went to Noji to fight a lawsuit.
In addition to Zhong Wei, another prototype of Li Yunlong is the founding lieutenant general Wang Jinshan. In "Bright Sword", Li Yunlong was hospitalized because of his injury and met Tian Yu, and eventually married. This scene is completely similar to Wang Jinshan's experience. After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Wang Jinshan entered the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army as a deputy regimental commander and followed the troops to participate in the Shentouling ambush. Wang Jinshan has always been known for his bravery in fighting, often leading the charge, and is known as "Wang Crazy".
During the ShentouLing ambush, neither of the guards was able to hold Wang Jinshan. He took a bayonet-mounted rifle from one of the warriors and took the lead in killing the devils, one of whom stabbed several Japanese, and himself was seriously wounded and sent to the rear hospital for treatment. The nurse who took care of Wang Jinshan at that time was named Han Xiuyan, and her uncle was a doctor who was very famous in the neighboring eight townships. After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, all 12 members of the Han family joined the Eighth Route Army and brought many medical equipment and medicines, which greatly alleviated the dilemma of the Eighth Route Army's lack of medical treatment and medicines at that time.
The Han family has a lot of family assets and can live a comfortable life in the local area. However, for the sake of national righteousness, they sold their property, bought medical equipment and joined the Eighth Route Army, willingly following the troops to suffer hardships, Wang Jinshan admired this very much, so he was very willing to chat with Han Xiuyan. Over time, Han Xiuyan also fell in love with this anti-Japanese hero. A year later, the two were married. The love story of Li Yunlong and Tian Yu in "Bright Sword" is simply a replica of Wang Jinshan and Han Xiuyan.
In addition, a classic battle example of Li Yunlong in "Bright Sword" is also copied from the battle story of Wang Jinshan. There are three classic battles of Li Yunlong in "Bright Sword", namely the elimination of the Kawasaki Brigade, the total annihilation of the Japanese observation group, and the attack on the county seat of Ping'an. Among them, the all-annihilation Japanese field observation group copied the story of the ambush battle in Hanluo Village, Near mountain. In October 1943, Wang Jinshan and his troops were ordered to rush to Yan'an, passing through the village of HanLuo, and took the initiative to set up an ambush, completely annihilated the Japanese field observation group in North China, and killed the commander of the major general brigade, Hattori Naoto.
In addition to these two points, Wang Jinshan and Li Yunlong also have a similar point, that is, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, both of them have problems in the relationship between husband and wife. In "Bright Sword", Tian Yu's opponent is Bai Lu, who is very fond of Li Yunlong and can tolerate all his shortcomings. Han Xiuyan's opponent is his sister Han Xiurong. The difference is that in Bright Sword, Nakata Yu solves the problem by talking to Bailu in a heartfelt way. Han Xiuyan, on the other hand, reflected the family affairs to his superiors, hoping to make her husband change his mind through organization. As a result, it was self-defeating, and Wang Jinshan, who was as fiery as a fire, angrily reported to his superiors for divorce.
Although the two eventually divorced, Wang Jinshan paid a great price. His rank was demoted from lieutenant general to colonel, and the post of deputy commander of the military region was also revoked, and he was assigned to the Huangpan District Farm as a deputy factory director. Later, with the help of Xu Shiyou and others, Wang Jinshan made a comeback and served as deputy chief of staff of the Nanjing Military Region. At that time, the chief of staff of the Nanjing Military Region was Xiao Yongyin. Xiao Yongyin joined the Red Army at the age of 13, and after the baptism of the Agrarian Revolutionary War, the Long March and the War of Resistance Against Japan, he grew from an ordinary soldier to a brigade-level cadre.
After the outbreak of the Liberation War, Xiao Yongyin served as the brigade commander of the 18th Brigade of the 6th Column in Nakano, and the commander of the 6th Column at that time was Wang Jinshan. Under the command of Wang Jinshan, Xiao Yongyin fought many big and evil battles and became one of the three musketeers under Wang Jinshan. After the outbreak of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Wang Jinshan served as the acting commander of the Third Corps of the Volunteer Army, and Xiao Yongyin was the deputy commander of the 12th Army of the Third Corps, and followed Wang Jinshan to participate in the Fifth Campaign, the Battle of Jincheng Blockade, and the Battle of Shangganling, and the two formed a deep friendship in the fires of war. After Wang Jinshan's comeback, he served as deputy chief of staff of the Nanjing Military Region, and Xiao Yongyin was his immediate superior. But every time he saw Wang Jinshan, Xiao Yongyin would salute his old superior. This kind of camaraderie is more precious than anything else.
