It is not difficult for military fans who have a little research on military history to guess: the role of Li Yunlong, the protagonist of the TV series "Bright Sword", is mainly based on Wang Jinshan, superimposed with Zhong Wei and others. From this point of view, Li Yunlong should have been born in the Red Fourth Front Army, belonged to Chen Geng's 386 Brigade during the Anti-Japanese War, and belonged to Liu Deng's Central Plains Field Army during the Liberation War.
But throughout the "Bright Sword" TV series, the entire Liberation War did not pay much attention to Li Yunlong's battle story, only three episodes. And these three episodes mainly reflect the story of Li Yunlong and his second division being included in the East China Field Army, mainly fighting in the Huaihai Campaign. In this way, Li Yunlong not only had a lot of intersections with Liu Bocheng and Chen Geng, but also had an intersection with Su Yu, who was the acting commander and acting political commissar of the East China Field Army at the time.
Interestingly, Li Yunlong is Liu Bocheng and Chen Geng's old subordinates, and we can better understand the help and support of these two leaders to Li Yunlong. But I didn't expect Su Yu, who had nothing to do with Li Yunlong, also favored Li Yunlong, and "protected" him. There are at least a few such episodes in the TV series that fully reflect this:
First, Su Yu specially asked Li Yunlong's second division to come to Huaye. Li Yunlong belonged to the Central Plains Field Army, and through a conversation with Su Yu, he learned that he had forced Li Yunlong to come over from the head of the Central Field. For this reason, Chief Nakano was still very reluctant. Let's imagine for a moment, if Li Yunlong commanded the battle very ordinary, Su Yu, who was known as the god of war, would not have gone to such great lengths to ask Li Yunlong and his second division to come over. This shows Su Yu's love for Li Yunlong.
The second is to use Li Yunlong's second division to deal with Chu Yunfei's 89th Division. Knowing that Chu Yunfei's 89th Division, the elite of the Kuomintang Army, was rushing towards Zhaozhuang, Su Yu personally called Li Yunlong and gave him a combat mission in person, emphasizing the importance and arduousness of holding Zhaozhuang. As the head of the field army, he crossed the column level and directly called the division commander over to ask for orders, which shows the importance attached to this battle and also to this commander.
The third is to replace Li Yunlong with 5 tons of artillery shells. This is also a classic line in "Bright Sword". is so classic that many military fans question the reasonableness of this sentence. Because of the preparation of four artillery regiments, only 5 tons of shells were used, which is really too little, even if it is tenfold 50 tons, it is not too much. We will not discuss the rationality of this figure here. The most important thing is through this sentence, it can be seen that Su Yu considered that Li Yunlong was from the Central Plains Field Army and could not fight all his family resources. So it was decided to replace Li Yunlong in advance. This can be said to be a disguised care for Li Yunlong and his second division.
Fourth, someone sued Li Yunlong for insisting on 2,000 prisoners.
After fighting the Zhaozhuang blockade battle, after a hard encounter with Chu Yunfei's 89th Division, Li Yunlong's second division can be said to have suffered heavy losses. At this time, Li Yunlong was ingenious and thought of his old partner Zhao Gang being in charge of the prisoner processing. So he asked for 2,000 prisoners from Zhao Gang's hands to replenish the soldiers of the Second Division. Although Li Yunlong made an IOU, it was a big mistake to take prisoners across the columns during the war. In the TV series, the leader of the column who was snatched and captured had this conversation with Su Yu:
The leader of the column said: Anyway, he Li Yunlong, it's too unusual. If you have the ability to capture prisoners by yourself, what is this, isn't this a robbery? Commander, you can't start this!"
Su Yu replied: "Which one to start? I see that, Li Yunlong is not wrong, what is yours and ours, besides, there is an IOU!" "Your division, pull it to Zhaozhuang to give it a try? Li Yunlong has paid a lot for the overall situation, then it will not be a battle to capture prisoners! You should not be too shallow-minded, and I guarantee in the future that you will be worried because there are too many prisoners, and at that time you will have as many prisoners as you have as much food as you have." Do you dare to make this bet with me? ”
In our view, Su Yu looked at the problem from Li Yunlong's point of view, and instead of blaming and holding accountable Li Yunlong's many mistakes, he gave him understanding and "protecting his shortcomings."
Through the above sections, it is not difficult to see that Su Yu is indeed "protecting" Li Yunlong. This kind of "protection" seems to have no intersection between the two and feels a little blunt logically, but it is not untrue when you think about it:
First, after all, Li Yunlong and his second division were asked by Su Yu from the head of Nakano, and after the Nakano troops jumped thousands of miles into Dabie Mountain, they originally suffered great losses. Therefore, if Li Yunlong is temporarily assigned to Huaye in this period, if the loss is too large and the loss is too large, Su Yu has a problem that is not like Liu Deng and the two old chiefs explained.
Second, after all, Su Yu sent Li Yunlong's second division to face off against Chu Yunfei's 89th Division, the elite of the national army, during the most critical Zhaozhuang blockade battle. You must know that blocking is a chore, with large casualties and few captures, and Su Yu knows this very well. It is precisely based on this that when Li Yunlong forcibly borrowed 2,000 captive soldiers, Su Yu gave Li Yunlong a full understanding and did not pursue it at all.
Third, after all, Li Yunlong is a rare general. Heroes cherish each other. Li Yunlong is a person who rejoices when he hears about war, and he is a person who dares to fight tough battles, vicious battles, and dangerous battles. In this regard, he is very similar to Su Yu. In particular, in one operation, Li Yunlong's unconventional style of play, "strengthening the tasks that should have been the Seventh and Tenth Columns of Huaye to the breakthrough opened by Li Yunlong's Second Division" was highly praised by Su Yu.
It seems that during the war years, being able to fight a war was the last word, and generals who could fight were always favored. It is precisely based on this that although Li Yunlong has committed many "faults", his old leaders Liu Bocheng and Chen Geng still understand and support him. And the temporary assignment of Huaye to Su Yu's side also received Su Yu's care, these are actually a logic.
In the next article, I will mainly talk about Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, and Kong Jie, who have sufficient qualifications and high military achievements, and why they were all awarded major generals? Why is it said that Li Yunlong was the most unjust in conferring the title of major general? It is said that the three of them took up the post of regiment commander in the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and this qualification is not shallow. Li Yunlong's prototype, Wang Jinshan, was only a deputy regiment commander at the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, and then he was mentioned as a regiment commander. He was a lieutenant general when he was awarded the title in 1955. According to this analogy, it seems more reasonable for Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, and Kong Jie of the Northwest Iron Triangle to be conferred a lieutenant general, but why are they all conferred a major general? #上今日头条看更多 "Bright Sword" extended interpretation ##帅克评史#
