With the encouragement and support of the masses, the officers and men of the 19th Route Army showed unprecedented patriotic enthusiasm, held their ground and constantly repelled the rampant attack of the Japanese army. With fearless courage, Cai Tingkai went to the front line to supervise the war in the hail of bullets, which boosted morale. At that time, there was a great disparity between the enemy and me. There are about 30,000 people in the 19th Route Army, and the total number of the Fifth Army in Zhang Zhizhong who came to help in mid-February is only over 40,000. The Japanese side has continuously increased its troops to 70,000 to 80,000, and has also equipped a large number of cannons, tanks, planes and warships. However, the 19th Route Army held fast to Shanghai from October 28th to March 28th in 1 year1year, and fought bloody battles with the enemy for 33 days, killing about 10,000 people in succession. It went through the wars of Zhabei street fighting, Wusong fortress fighting, splashbridge fighting, self-made state fighting, Jiangwan and Miaoxing fighting, Liuhe fighting and so on, which made Japan invade.
Finally, because * * * * insisted on the policy of not resisting Japan, no reinforcements were sent. /kloc-in March, the Japanese army landed in Liuhe, Taicang, and the 19th Route Army was forced to leave Shanghai and retreat to Jiading and other places. Cai Tingkai and Jiang Guangnai electrified the whole country on March 2, saying that they would "shoot all the bullets" and would not spend a day with violence. After the severe attack of the 19th Route Army, the Japanese plot to occupy Shanghai could not succeed. After the "mediation" of Britain and the United States, China and Japan announced a truce on March 3.
The Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 was extremely tragic, far exceeding the expectations of the Japanese army. They met with unprecedented stubborn resistance from China's army. Although the Japanese army occupied the first line of defense in China, it was already a spent force. A 19th Route Army with only 30,000 people made them difficult to deal with. If we expand the war, we really have no chance of winning. Then, on May 5th, Japan and Nanjing nationals signed the "Songhu Armistice Agreement", and the "1.28" incident ended.
The Sino-Japanese War of the 19th Route Army in Songhu was an unprecedented victory for China and War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. This battle is of great significance, which not only inspired the anti-Japanese spirit of the military and civilians throughout the country, but also inspired the anti-Japanese enthusiasm of the whole nation. At the same time, it also had a far-reaching impact on the all-round war of resistance in the future. Cai Tingkai is also known as an "anti-Japanese star" and a "national hero" at home and abroad because of his outstanding achievements in commanding War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in Songhu.
