In the hit drama "Bright Sword", Li Yunlong took charge of the first battle fought by the independent regiment, that is, li jiapo used 3600 grenades to solve the Japanese Kou Okazaki brigade that sneaked into the hinterland of the base area. Previously, many units of the Eighth Route Army had launched a strong attack on this Japanese force and suffered heavy casualties, including the Red Army such as the 772nd Regiment that existed at the time of the Eighth Route Army's initial reorganization, but they had never been able to conquer the enemy's core position.

In real history, the battle did take place in Shanxi, but not in Lijiapo, but in Guanjia'an, Panlong Township, Wuxiang County. The so-called "垴", in fact, is a small mountain bag of soil, because the residents are surnamed Guanjia'an, the top of which is a flat terrace with an area of about 3300 square meters, the view is wide, the surrounding terrain is stepped down, it seems to be gentle but the ravines are longitudinal, and a few ditches are dug with one or two rows of caves, which is generally an excellent field defense position.

After the Okazaki brigade retreated here, it immediately built a Bagua-shaped core position based on the terrain, densely packed with artillery and machine gun bunkers, and also built a circle of positions on the edge of the platform, and connected the two layers of positions with communication trenches. In the trenches dug on the positions, hundreds of "cat ear holes" suitable for individual combat were dug in advance, and as many as 50 caves were also opened and firing holes were dug; plus more than 300 scattered soldier pits dug along the foot of the mountain, which constituted a three-dimensional defensive position at the foot of the mountain, a cave on the mountainside, and a three-dimensional defensive position in the three-line configuration of the top of the mountain.

In addition, while the Encircled Eighth Route Army was making intensive preparations for the attack, the Okazaki Brigade dispatched a reinforced squadron of 200 men to attack a high ground called Willow Hilly An on the southwest side of the Guanjia'an position, where the 2nd Battalion of the 25th Regiment of the 1st Column, which was originally defended, was just waiting to change defenses, and in the darkness it was impossible to see the other side's clothing, and mistakenly regarded the smeared Japanese squadron as a friendly change of defense unit, and was caught off guard, and finally although it was repeatedly fought, it still lost this important position that affected the overall situation of the operation The Okazaki Brigade, on the other hand, used the two highlands as horns for each other, forming a crossfire.

In addition to occupying favorable terrain, okazaki brigades set out with a large supply of ammunition and grain, each rifle with 120 rounds of ammunition, 870 rounds per light machine gun, 7200 rounds per heavy machine gun, and hundreds of shells per mountain gun. In addition, the brigade had just captured the Huangyadong area where the Eighth Route Army headquarters arsenal was located two days ago, looted and burned 5 ammunition warehouses and clothing warehouses, and looted 2,000 grenades, 10,000 rounds of ammunition, and dozens of boxes of other supplies.

At 4:00 a.m. on October 30, 1940, after the general attack on the Okazaki Brigade began, although the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army bravely attacked and sacrificed their lives, the terrain was too unfavorable, the enemy's firepower was also very fierce, and there were more than ten Japanese aircraft in the sky to bomb back and forth, so the attack was frequently frustrated, the troops suffered heavy casualties, and the 1st Battalion of the 772nd Regiment of the 386th Brigade, which served as the main attack in the northeast direction, fought until noon, and there were only more than 20 people left. The attacks in the remaining directions were also brutally fought, and the attacking troops suffered heavy losses, including the 25th and 38th Regiments, which were transferred from the 1st Column of the Anti-Japanese Death Squad, plus less than 300 miscellaneous personnel.

After two consecutive days and nights of fierce fighting, although the Japanese commander Gang Qiqian was killed as a deputy wing commander and more than 400 people were wounded, it was never possible to completely conquer the main position of Guanjia'an, and there were still more than a hundred remnants of the Japanese army stubbornly resisting, but the Japanese troops from several surrounding counties were already close at hand. In order to avoid passivity, coupled with the fact that it had achieved the result of annihilating most of the Okazaki Brigade, the Eighth Route Army chose to withdraw from its position on its own initiative. The remnants of the Japanese army withdrew to Wuxiang County with reinforcements.
