In 1976, **'s condition deteriorated, and he was unable to meet with other ** leaders, and could only pass on information through specific people. At the same time, the "Gang of Four" has become increasingly rampant, setting off a "counterattack against the right-leaning trend of overturning the case." *Affected and whereabouts unknown. However, as it is said, where there is resistance, there is resistance, and Song Shilun is one of them. He did not hesitate to refuse to convey the relevant notice of the "Gang of Four", and told his subordinates: "It seems that when the situation reaches the point of last resort, we must come forward!""Song Shilun has always been steadfast and stood up for the older generation of leaders. In the autumn of 1967, Song Shilun was ordered to attend a meeting, however, after attending, he learned that this was a criticism meeting against Ye Shuai, Chen Shuai and other revolutionaries of the older generation.
The host said to Song Shilun: "As the old subordinates of *** and **, at this critical revolutionary moment, they are in the opposite tune and engage in 'February countercurrent'. You should be brave enough to stand up and boldly expose and criticize their ......Before the host finished speaking, Song Shilun was furious and responded with anger on his face: "I am their subordinate, but I have nothing to expose." They have dedicated their lives to the country, and if this is also to blame, then I have nothing to say. Seeing this, the host was furious, and said in a threatening tone: "Song Shilun, you have to understand the current situation and correct your position. What will be the consequences of your attitude, you need to think about it carefully. However, Song Shilun was not surprised, but calmly replied: "That's my attitude."
I'm old, and you can do as you please. No matter what you do, I'm at peace. After expressing his position, Song Shilun resolutely left, no matter how much the host kept him, he couldn't stop him from leaving. His long-time secretary Li Jijun still remembers one thing about Song Shilun, that is, Song Shilun refused Wang Hongwen's repeated requests to see. During the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Wang Hongwen served as a soldier in the guard company of the Ninth Corps, while Song Shilun was the commander of the Ninth Corps. Despite Wang Hongwen's fame, Song Shilun refused mercilessly, bluntly saying that he was unwell and inconvenient to meet. He insisted on "standing up".
**and*** after the "913" incident, they tried to get some old cadres back out of the rivers and lakes, but they faced considerable resistance, and they didn't want whoever came out to be able to come out. **paved the way for ***'s second comeback, after more than a year of hard work. On January 10, 1972, the internal contradiction between *** and *** was mentioned at the memorial service of **marshal**, and ** was present at the time and told ***'s family the words of ***. Subsequently, **actively publicized, helped ***'s comeback, and finally succeeded. After Song Shilun understood the intentions of *** and ***, he took the initiative to stand up and share his worries.
In October 1972, he took full charge of the Academy of Military Sciences, and suggested that some veteran cadres be temporarily assigned to the Academy of Military Sciences, and then let them go out when the time was ripe. ** This suggestion was taken seriously and was supported by Ye Shuai and General Su Yu. Many cadres were subsequently assigned to serve in the Academy of Military Sciences, such as Wang Shusheng, Liao Hansheng, and Wang Xinting. Liao Hansheng was very grateful for this, and praised Dean Song as a staunch revolutionary, and people called him'Send to the commissar', because he sent some people to the Academy of Military Sciences, and then sent them out. In 1976, **seriously ill and **missing. Song Shilun was very anxious, and once said unabashedly when talking to his subordinates: "It seems that once the last resort comes, we will have to admonish us!."βγ
This movement has affected almost everyone, even ***. **After meeting *** for the last time, he sighed: "It seems that he can't control it either." βγIt is because of this situation that so many people are ** or hit. Relatively speaking, Song Shilun's situation is relatively superior, he did not protect himself at the critical moment, but took the initiative to help his old comrades-in-arms and did many useful things.
