Speaking of Li Yunlong in "Bright Sword", he is the head of the independent regiment, who dares to fight tough battles and has a hot temper, and his tactics on the battlefield are flexible and eclectic. And Li Youbin, a national first-class actor who played Li Yunlong in the film, later went to the crew of "Red Sun" to play a controversial role, this person is Zhang Lingfu, the commander of the 74th Division of the National Army.
Zhang Lingfu and Wang Yuling
At that time, when the TV series was choosing the protagonist, Mr. Li Youbin was chosen to play the role of Zhang Lingfu, the commander of the 74th Division, and Zhang Lingfu's widow, Ms. Wang Yuling, was still alive at the time. It stands to reason that when Mr. Li Youbin played the role of a soldier, his performance in the play was quite exciting, why did Wang Yuling disagree? In fact, it is not a problem of acting, but another reason that surprises others.
Why did Brother Yunlong go to the drama "Red Sun" to become the commander of the national army? Zhang Lingfu's widow Wang Yuling was not happy
The TV series "Red Sun" is based on the novel "Red Sun".
Wu Qiang, the author of the novel, was also an eyewitness to the Battle of Menglianggu.
At that time, from the front line in northern Jiangsu, Huaiyin County, Huai'an to Lianshui in the back, Wu Qiang had been holding a propaganda position in the army, which belonged to the role of a clerk at that time.
And the unit he was in at that time happened to be the sixth column of Wang Bicheng of the East China Field Army.
Therefore, he has been dealing with the 74th Division for a very long time, so he knows more about the 74th Division and Zhang Lingfu.
Until the end of the Menglianggu Battle in 1947, after more than 30,000 people of the 74th Division were surrounded and annihilated by Huaye, Zhang Lingfu died in battle, and his body was carried down from Menglianggu's mountain by the Huaye Special Service Group with a door panel.
At that time, Wu Qiang, as a member of the army of Huaye Sixth Column, also went to the scene to check the other party's body.
According to Wu Qiang's introduction in the book, the shock to him at that time was quite big.
A tall officer was killed, but because of the hot weather, in order to keep the body from decomposing, they used the door panel to carry Zhang Lingfu's body down Meng Lianggu.
Subsequently, Xie Guangkun, deputy director of the Political Department of Huaye Sixth Column, under the order of General Su Yu (Chen Yi was said to be Chen Yi), ordered someone to buy a good coffin in the local area and bury Zhang Lingfu on the spot.
Because he couldn't find the general uniform of the national army at that time, he was specially put on a PLA military uniform for burial, and carefully scrubbed his body, while a major general and eight colonels of the 74th Division who were captured knelt down and presided over a farewell ceremony for him.
Wu Qiang focused on Zhang Lingfu in the novel "Red Sun", and it was rare that he did not use another pseudonym, but directly used his own name.
Among them, Shen Zhenxin, in fact, his prototype is Wang Bicheng, the commander of the Sixth Column.
In the TV series "Red Sun", it was also filmed according to the setting of the original book, and Li Youbin played the commander of the 74th Division at that time.
But at the time of casting. Wang Yuling, as Zhang Lingfu's widow, also consulted her own opinion.
Wang Yuling was Zhang Lingfu's last wife, and she was only 19 years old when she married him.
Zhang Lingfu died in Meng Lianggu when she was pregnant, and her son never even met his father.
But when Wang Yuling saw Lao Li, she felt a little unhappy at first.
When everyone asked the old lady what was the reason, the old lady would laugh for a while and refuse to say, so what was the reason?
Wang Yuling when she was young
This division is not an ordinary division, this is an integrated division, a corps-level unit, and it is the trump card of the national army's trump card
After seeing Li Yunlong play a division commander of the national army, many fans of TV series in China couldn't help but start a heated discussion.
Everyone also expressed their opinions in the comment area, most of them thought that Lao Li was lowering his own price, and there were nearly a few thousand troops on the side of the Independent Regiment, which was better than a small division commander on the other side.
At first, these people didn't understand the division of the national army played by Li Yunlong, and thought that it was an ordinary division, and it was not as free as being independent.
But after a later look, I realized that this was not an ordinary division.
It is nominally called the 74th Division, but in fact, its full name is the 74th Division, and this integrated division is a corps-level unit with 32,000 people.
And the more I learned about the back, the more I felt that this was not an ordinary division.
This is the first of the five main forces of the National Revolutionary Army.
74 Division
The weapons equipped with it are even more awesome, and the 74th Division's full set of American equipment was first-class in that era.
Armed with more than 3,000 Thomson submachine guns, 12 105-mm howitzers, and 36 75-mm mountain guns.
The army is equipped with more than 400 60-mm mortars, more than 1,000 light machine guns, and more than 300 Makqin water-cooled heavy machine guns.
Not to mention flamethrowers, bazookas, and other top-of-the-line American equipment.
Moreover, the officers at the grassroots level of the 74th Division, such as regiment commanders, battalion commanders, and company commanders, are all graduates of the Whampoa Military Academy, and the salaries of ordinary soldiers are more than three times that of other ordinary units.
This shows how strong the equipment of this army is.
In the end, the reorganized 74th Division was still the so-called garrison unit of Nanjing, which was known as the Imperial Forest Army in ancient times.
After seeing this configuration, everyone seemed to understand Lao Li a little.
After all, with these equipment, if he had this set of equipment when he attacked Ping'an County, it would be a quick catch!
Why is Wang Yuling unhappy that Brother Yunlong plays Zhang Lingfu, it turns out that he is not as good-looking as Zhang?
When Mr. Li Youbin was about to play the role of the commander of the 74th Division in "Red Sun", the crew asked Wang Yuling's opinion, but Wang Yuling shook her head directly after seeing Mr. Li, and seemed to disagree.
At first, when the reporter asked the old lady, she was a little embarrassed to say, but then she said it bluntly.
She thinks that although Mr. Li Youbin's acting skills are outstanding, there is still a certain gap between him and the prototype character in terms of height, appearance and temperament...
As soon as she said this, the crew quickly understood what the reason was, but this reason was indeed a bit special, and many people didn't think of it at first.
This Zhang Lingfu has a height of 1.87 meters, and graduated from the Department of History of Peking University, the fourth phase of the Whampoa Military Academy, which can be described as both civil and military.
In addition, the person is a little handsome and chic, so in terms of temperament, Mr. Li, who is nearly 40 years old, does not seem to match the temperament of the prototype character, which makes the old lady a little unhappy.
You must know that when this old lady was 17 years old, she met Zhang Lingfu, who was in her 40s, in Changsha and immediately fell in love with each other. At that time, Wang Yuling was not an ordinary woman, she was a famous family in Changsha, a rich lady, and his grandfather was also the governor of Liangjiang, a proper wealthy family.
Such a wealthy daughter fell in love with each other at first sight when she saw Zhang Lingfu, which shows that the other party's image and temperament are indeed outstanding.
This is also the reason why this old lady is a little unhappy when she sees Mr. Li playing her former husband.
But the crew did not change people because of this, and still let Lao Li play this role.
