The most bloody battle during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, this general fought with the devils for 33 days, and the devils who fought were changed commanders four times

Since the 918 incident, the ambitions of the Japanese wolf children have been clearly demonstrated. Japan is eyeing north China and has the possibility of going south at any time. Japan has been coveting the North China and Songhu regions for a long time, and is always looking for opportunities for conflict. The 19th Route Army's defense of Shanghai is the best testimony to the ambitions of the Japanese army's wolf sons. This famous general fought with the devils for 33 days, and the devils who fought "changed the marshal four times", who is this person?

As the saying goes: "Heroes emerge from a chaotic world", the chaotic period is also the moment when heroes show their heads. The period of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was also a time when Chinese heroes and talents emerged. Cai Tingkai was the 19th Army's rise to prominence when it resisted the Japanese army, and General Cai Tingkai became famous in the First World War, allowing arrogant Japanese imperialism to see the strength of the Chinese army.

Cai Tingkai was born in Luodingzhou, Guangdong. Cai Tingkai was born in a turbulent year and grew up in an ordinary peasant family. Cai's father was a veterinarian and also worked part-time as a tailor. Cai Tingkai lives in a very harsh environment, but Cai Tingkai, like other boys, has a dream of serving the country. When Cai Tingkai was 18 years old, he joined the New Army without his family, and from then on, he began the passionate years of his life. On the battlefield, Cai Tingkai bravely went forward and fought incomparably bravely, because Cai Tingkai was clever and quickly went from a small soldier to a division commander. Later, when the army was reformed, Cai Tingkai became the commander of the 19th Route Army.

After 9/18, Cai Tingkai led the 19th Route Army to be responsible for the defense of the Beijing-Shanghai line. In 1932, the Japanese army attempted to invade Shanghai. The Japanese wanted to repeat the same tactics and negotiate with the Nationalist government to make the 19th Route Army retreat 15 kilometers. The Nationalist government gladly accepted the Japanese request, but Cai Tingkaiyi justly refused. Cai Tingkai said that Shanghai is Chinese territory and the 19th Route Army is China's army. This is Shanghai, not Tohoku, and it is completely impossible for Japan to repeat the same technique. If the Japanese wanted to invade Shanghai, the 19th Route Army would have stubbornly resisted. At the same time, Cai Tingkai sent a telegram to the whole country, informing the people of the country that it was their duty to defend the territory, and that the 19th Route Army would not flinch even if it fought until one soldier or a pawn fought.

It was precisely because of the resolute resistance of General Cai Tingkai that he resisted the pace of the Japanese attack and blocked the Japanese army at sea. The Japanese army threatened to seduce General Cai Tingkai, but who was Cai Tingkai? How can they trust the Japanese side? Regardless of whether Japan is coercing or inducing, Cai Tingkai does not lose his Chinese style. In the end, the Japanese army could only engage the 19th Route Army and attempted to blast Shanghai with aircraft artillery, but the Japanese wishful thinking was wrong.

Cai Tingkai led the 19th Route Army to resist the Japanese army in Shanghai for 33 days, using the blood of Chinese soldiers to let the Japanese army see what a Chinese soldier was. In this battle, the Japanese army gradually became clear in its mind and felt that the Chinese army was not vulnerable. On the contrary, China is a very powerful country, and it is not an easy task to occupy China. Because of his meritorious efforts in resisting Japan and the clamor of the people of the whole country, the elder Chiang Kai-shek conformed to the trend of the times and awarded Cai Tingkai the Order of the Blue Sky and White Sun and the title of general of the first rank in the army.

The actions of General Cai Tingkai reflect the responsibility and mission of a soldier. At a critical juncture in the country, Cai Tingkai desperately wants to protect the land behind him. Although the difference in strength between the two sides is too great, Cai Tingkai is a Chinese soldier. This aspect alone deserves the admiration of future generations.
