Before the anti-Japanese drama came out, in fact, to be honest, China's anti-Japanese drama was really good, take the 05 "Bright Sword" as an example, although "Bright Sword" is indeed suspected of exaggeration, but now many people still praise it as a "good drama".
In "Bright Sword", the devil is not as "stupid" as the current anti-Japanese drama, and it also shows the "difficulty" of the War of Resistance against Japan, yes, if the devils were like the anti-Japanese drama back then, then would we still need to fight the War of Resistance for 14 years.
There is also such a scene in "Bright Sword", which refers to the period of the Japanese army's "sweep", when there was such a scene "specializing in the 386 Brigade", which was the "C Operation Plan" implemented by the commander of the Japanese North China Front Army Okamura Ningji when he took office, and its purpose was to further attack the strength of the Eighth Route Army behind enemy lines, and the Eighth Route Army active in the front line of Taihang Mountain was their "key object of care", and among the first line of Taihang Mountain, the most feared and feared by the Japanese army was the "386 Brigade".
As for who the commander of the "386 Brigade" is, I believe there is no need to say more, when he first entered Shanxi, the brigade commander commanded the troops to fight several ambush battles such as Xiangtangpu and Qiqian Village, and the name of the 386 Brigade gradually began.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the 386th Brigade was the strongest Eighth Route Army in North China at that time, and the US military attache in China once had the honor to visit the "386 Brigade", and he bluntly said: "The 386 Brigade is the best brigade in China. ”
So how many people were there in the 386 Brigade back then, and how strong their combat effectiveness was, they could give the devil such a headache.
The predecessor of the 386 Brigade was the 31st Army of the Red Fourth Front Army, and in 1937, in order to resist the war, the 31st Army was reorganized into the 386 Brigade.
In fact, this unit was the main force of the Eighth Route Army in North China from the beginning, and during the Anti-Japanese War, the size of a brigade was about 3,000 to 4,000 people, and some units were even only 2,000 people if they were seriously lacking.
As the main force of the Eighth Route Army, the headquarters obviously has high hopes for the brigade commander, in the early days of its establishment, the 386 Brigade had nearly 5,700 people, and its 771 Regiment and 772 Regiment were under its jurisdiction, in addition to the direct command of the brigade headquarters, that is to say, the number of its two regiments has reached 2,000 people, to be honest, this is also the scale of a reinforced regiment.
In the battlefield behind enemy lines in North China, the 386 Brigade gave full play to its advantages in guerrilla warfare, and after several battles, its ranks gradually expanded.
However, at this time, the scale of the 386 Brigade has changed, and there is a tradition within our army in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the troops: that is, when the team reaches a certain size, some veterans will be dispersed to bring new recruits, so that the veterans will guide the recruits, and the team will be able to grow rapidly, and the battlefield behind the enemy line was extremely difficult at that time, and the old Chiang and the Japanese puppet army both wanted to eliminate the Eighth Route Army in the battlefield behind the enemy, and in this case, they needed to find a way to expand their team.
So in 1938, the 771st Regiment, which originally belonged to the 386th Brigade, was transferred by the Eighth Route Army Headquarters to other brother units for command, while the 129th Division Headquarters merged the supplementary regiment and the first regiment of the eastward column into a new regiment to supplement the "386 Brigade", which is the way veterans lead new recruits.
The vacancy of the 771st Regiment that was transferred out was replaced by a new regiment formed by the supplementary regiment allocated by the 129th Division and the eastward column, which was the new regiment led by Li Yunlong at the beginning, so the new regiment really had this team in history.
At this time, the name of the 386 Brigade in North China has been launched, and after a year of bloody battles, the scale of the 386 Brigade has reached 8,000 people, which is one-third more than before.
In 1942, the 386 Brigade carried out a reorganization of the whole army, and the 772 Regiment was subordinate to the national government at that time, and in "Bright Sword", in order to raise Li Yunlong's image, the 772 Regiment was a little belittled, in fact, in real history, the 772 Regiment was the number one main force of the 386 Brigade, and in Li Yunlong's words, the 772 Regiment was really "raised by his mother".
In addition to the 772nd Regiment, the new First Regiment, the Supplementary Regiment and the Supplementary Brigade were reorganized into the first regiment respectively, and the 386 Brigade had reached the establishment of 4 regiments at this time, and the number of people had reached about 8,000 to 10,000.
It can be said that at this time the size of the 386 brigade was already much more than a brigade.
In addition to fighting more and more troops, the 386 Brigade makes the Japanese army more afraid of the reason why this brigade is a strong general, deputy brigade commander Wang Jinshan is a well-known fierce general, chief of staff Zhou Xihan also has the title of "desperate San Lang", brigade commander General Chen Geng is even more brilliant in the use of soldiers, and is one of the few commanders in our army who knows how to fight a large corps.
It is precisely for this reason that during the War of Liberation, General Chen Geng's Fourth Corps can be said to be independent of the four major field armies and under the direct command of the Central Military Commission to govern the operations of one front army.
So this is why the Japanese army is so afraid of the 386 Brigade, the soldiers are good soldiers, they will be fierce generals, and General Chen Geng's command has made the 386 Brigade develop and grow rapidly behind enemy lines, and after the development and growth, the troops are dispersed to open up new base areas, so that the situation of "a spark can start a prairie fire" has been formed, and the 386 Brigade has become the most headache for the Japanese army in North China.
