Preface
"Bright Sword" is a TV series about wartime, and every actor in the play tries their best to interpret their roles perfectly, as if they are that person, and the content filmed is exactly what they are experiencing.
In addition to the protagonists Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and other characters in the play, Zhang Dabiao, the battalion commander of the Eighth Route Army played by Zhan Weihua, is also very eye-catching.
However, although Zhang Dabiao is very brilliant in the play, in the second half of "Bright Sword", this character has basically not appeared again, why is this?
Zhang Dabiao, who is brave and good at fighting
In the TV series, the role of Zhang Dabiao is very well portrayed, he is brave and good at fighting on the battlefield, resolutely carrying out the orders of the regiment commander Li Yunlong in the army, even in the face of heavy surrounding, his face is still fearless, he raises the big knife in his hand to fight the enemy, puts life and death aside, and is willing to kill the last drop of blood on the battlefield.
He is very good at the use of cold weapons, we can often see Zhang Dabiao in the play often carrying a unique machete of our army behind him, with a red cloth strip tied at the end of the handle, and he often rushes to the front in white-knuckle battles and kills the enemy bravely.
Zhang Dabiao used to follow Song Zheyuan, he was the platoon commander of the big knife team under Song Zheyuan, so he also learned a good knife technique, originally wanted to do filial piety for his mother, so he left the army, but he didn't expect that in the end, his mother and the villagers finally died in the sweep of the Japanese invaders.
The pain of losing his mother made Zhang Dabiao resolutely join the Eighth Route Army after burying his mother, and he hated the Japanese army to the core.
When breaking through the encirclement of the Japanese army, Zhang Dabiao obeyed Li Yunlong's orders, met the brave and won in a narrow way, and showed his sword with the attacking enemy to carry out a tragic white-knuckle battle.
Although Zhang Dabiao also knew that the scene at that time was that the enemy was attacking, he resolutely carried out the orders of the regiment commander, and was not afraid of the enemy's bayonets.
In the end, it was Li Yunlong, who had already rushed out, and after discovering that the first battalion had not rushed out, he turned back and rescued them, carrying the wounded Zhang Dabiao out of the encirclement.
This is a fateful friendship, plus Zhang Dabiao was very convinced of Li Yunlong, and after Li Yunlong was transferred to the independent regiment, he also asked his superiors to transfer Zhang Dabiao to him.
Why is Kong Jie imprisoned?
In the battle of Ping'an County, Zhang Dabiao, who had been externalized into pieces, immediately abandoned all the captures and prisoners after learning of Li Yunlong's urgent summoning order, and rushed back to the regiment headquarters without stopping.
After learning that Li Yunlong was going to attack Ping'an County, Zhang Dabiao was very calm, he knew Li Yunlong too well, and understood that no one could transfer Li Yunlong's strength to him.
Sure enough, after vetoing Deputy Commander Xing's three feints and one main attack, Li Yunlong directly finalized that the teams participating in the campaign were all main attacks, and went to attack Ping'an County, where Yamamoto was located, in all directions.
According to the friendship between Zhang Dabiao and Li Yunlong, he can actually be said to be Li Yunlong's henchman, the same as Li Yunlong's guard Monk Wei.
At that time, Kong Jie persuaded Xie Baoqing, the big boss of Heiyun Village, to give up being a bandit who robbed his house and joined the Eighth Route Army to concentrate on fighting against Japan and fighting devils.
As a result, Monk Wei, who was on a mission, was bumped into by them and was shot coldly, and finally a soldier who galloped on the battlefield died at the hands of a few bandits, and was even hung in public.
Monk Wei is Li Yunlong's brother who shares life and death, so he naturally can't swallow this breath, and immediately summoned Zhang Dabiao's battalion to go to Heiyunzhai to avenge Monk Wei.
Everyone knew that this was a violation of discipline, and Kong Jie also stopped Li Yunlong before he sent out his troops and asked him to calm down.
However, a bandit who was about to be absorbed by the Eighth Route Army actually dared to blatantly kill the Eighth Route Army and hang Monk Wei in public, Li Yunlong obviously would not listen to Kong Jie's words, so he ordered Kong Jie and them to be locked up.
Kong Jie and Li Yunlong are both battle-hardened soldiers, both regiment commanders, no one dared to touch Kong Jie for a while, and finally Zhang Dabiao shouted violently and obeyed Li Yunlong's order to take Kong Jie down and lock him up.
Became the chief of staff of the division, the outcome is unknown
After that, Monk Wei's revenge was avenged, but Li Yunlong was also demoted several levels, from regiment commander to battalion commander, and also went to Zhang Dabiao's battalion.
What made Zhang Dabiao's stomach hurt the most was that he was still the regimental chief of staff at the moment, and Li Yunlong's battalion commander was lower than him.
But although Zhang Dabiao's name is Biao, he is not a biao person at all, he still takes Li Yunlong as the head of the regiment, works diligently every day, and then has to find time to report to Li Yunlong.
Later, in the TV series, Li Yunlong became the commander of the Second Division, and Zhang Dabiao followed him to the Second Division as the chief of staff of the division, and in terms of operations, he was responsible for being the mediator between Deputy Division Commander Xing and Li Yunlong.
I have to say that Zhang Dabiao is very good at reconciliation, he explained Li Yunlong's idea of competing with Chu Yunfei as the opposite, and finally Li Yunlong and Chu Yunfei had a battle, and was injured in the middle and went to the hospital.
And after that, Zhang Dabiao never appeared again.
In this regard, many people believe that Zhang Dabiao died in the subsequent battle, and there is also a voice that Zhang Dabiao is still alive and has been transferred to another place.
It is worth noting that Zhang Dabiao came step by step from the period of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and he has accumulated a lot of military exploits over the years, and in the War of Liberation, Zhang Dabiao followed Li Yunlong as the chief of staff of the division, which is already a high-level command position.
In the original work, Zhang Dabiao was not mentioned again after Heiyunzhai, nor was he the chief of staff, we judge from this that maybe Zhang Dabiao did not follow Li Yunlong to Huaye, but continued to be in Zhongye, in terms of his qualifications, perhaps because of his position, he rarely went to the battlefield to personally lead the team to fight, which can explain why he no longer appeared later.
epilogue
In the book, after Li Yunlong was discharged from the hospital, the name Zhang Dabiao was missing from his side, and for this brave and warlike soldier, whether he died on the battlefield or what, he was an excellent and qualified Chinese soldier.
