When it comes to the TV series "Bright Sword" and the protagonist Li Yunlong, I believe everyone likes it very much. When the Eighth Route Army's nemesis, the Sakata United, was wiped out, it was a great joy.
The Sakata Wing is an elite unit in the Japanese army, and our army suffered a lot of losses during the battle. However, no matter how strong this unit was, it was eventually wiped out by a new regiment led by Li Yunlong, and the shells blew up the headquarters of the devils and killed Sakata Nobuzhe, who led the team.
Speaking of this, everyone must be curious, the protagonist today is not related to the TV series?
Eh, it really matters.
The founding general Yang Chengwu introduced today killed Japanese Lieutenant General Norihide Abe at the age of 25, and this admiral himself is one of the many prototypes of Li Yunlong, the protagonist of the TV series "Bright Sword".
Battle of Loess Ridge
In 1939, Yang Chengwu, then commander and political commissar of the First Military Subdistrict of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region, went to the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region to hold an organizational meeting. During this period, it was reported that the famous Japanese general Norihide Abe would organize more than 20,000 people to sweep the base area of Beiyue.
Yang Chengwu, who was only 25 years old at the time, calmly commanded 6 corps of troops to counterattack in the Laiyuan area, killing Japanese Lieutenant General Norihide Abe at Loess Ridge. In the interview, the veteran recounted the episodes of the battle.
Abe Norihide had the acumen of an excellent military man, and because his troops were in loess ridge. As the old saying goes, loess buried white bones, the Japanese felt that this place was unlucky, afraid of ambush. So the formation was constantly changed east of the Loess Ridge, creating many obstacles for our army.
After three days of fierce fighting, our army gradually narrowed the encirclement and finally discovered the Japanese command. Yang Chengwu told the artillery battalion commander that he must fight me at all costs to the headquarters! In the end, the shells killed Norihide Abe and wounded more than 900 Japanese troops.
