Song Shilun strayed into the cave after getting drunk, and was woken up by the four tongues, shocked
Song Shilun, the founding general of New China, was also a hero on the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea, and was known as the "wine general". He led the regiment to make many achievements on the battlefield and was praised as the "Wine Corps".
However, what few people know is that Song Shilun once slept in the tiger's den because he was drunk when he was young, and he was still woken up by the tiger. This anecdote became a motto for his comrades later in his war career: "I have slept in a tiger hole, I am not afraid of real tigers, am I still afraid of paper tigers like Chiang Kai-shek and devils!" ”
Song Shilun, a native of Liling, Hunan Province, was born in 1907, where the mountainous climate was humid, and people often used to brew rice wine to ward off the cold. Song learned to drink at a very young age and liked the brief feeling of body heat.
When he was a teenager, he sent his sister back to her mother-in-law's house, and was warmly welcomed by the other party, who not only asked him to stay for dinner, but also invited him to drink to warm up. After drinking and eating, Song Shilun set foot on the way home alone, although he was already a little confused, he still walked back recklessly.
The road was long and infested with wild beasts, and the family would not let him send his sister there, but he had no fear alone, and walked back completely with his last consciousness.
He was fortunate to have a safe journey, and it was not until night that it was a little difficult. The night was hazy, Song Shilun began to see the front clearly, and coupled with fatigue and slightly drunk, he casually found a dry cave to prepare to rest.
Soon after, he felt hot and wet on his face, opened his eyes uncomfortably, and found the neighbor's "cat" licking his face. Although he wanted to continue sleeping, he immediately realized the problem: how could the neighbor's cat suddenly appear in the wilderness?
And the "cat" is strange in color and size, maybe it's not a cat? So he shuddered and came to his senses. If you look closely, it's not a cat, it's a tiger, and it's four!
Luckily, these little tigers were just a little curious about him and didn't hurt him. Despite this, Song Shilun immediately got up, wiped away the cold sweat, and ran nervously out of the cave, successfully avoiding the catastrophe.
When Song Shilun recalls this unique experience, he finds it particularly interesting. He had said that to his comrades, and his daughter Song Chongshi was also a listener of this interesting story.
In an interview with reporters, she also relayed the story. Although there do not seem to be any tigers in Hunan now, in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China a few decades ago, there was an incident of "Hundred Tigers Surrounding the Village" in Hunan, so it is not uncommon for General Song Shilun to meet tigers.
And fortunately, he did not meet the big tiger. In addition to this, he was once in danger after participating in the revolution, but eventually managed to escape. In 1927, after Lao Chiang launched the "April 12" counter-revolutionary coup in Shanghai, Li Jishen and others also launched the "April 15" counter-revolutionary coup in Guangzhou, killing more than 2,000 party members and progressives.
At that time, Song Shilun was also in Guangzhou**. However, since he was a student of Whampoa and his membership in the party was relatively secretive, it was difficult for the reactionaries to directly kill him without having definite evidence.
In the end, he was only imprisoned for the crime of "**suspicion".
Against the backdrop of harsh treatment of the Communist Party, the chances of Soong being released from prison two years later unscathed are slim to none. Despite the violence and political predicament in prison, Song Shilun was undeterred, returned to his hometown and formed his own guerrilla army, which was soon incorporated into the Red 6th Army.
Since then, Song Shilun has been extremely brave on the battlefield, and his position has been continuously promoted. In the fourth anti-"encirclement and suppression" battle, he led his troops to fight side by side with his comrades, successfully defeated the **52nd and 59th divisions, and captured the enemy division commander.
Both of these troops were descendants of Chiang Kai-shek, and the fiasco was so painful for Chiang Kai-shek that he even wrote an edict to Chen Cheng that it was the most painful moment of his life.
Although he was a Whampoa student, when facing Chiang Kai-shek, Song Shilun did not save face, because he knew his strength well. In addition, he also understood that the true strength of the Japanese was not strong, because he had shown great courage and determination in the battle with the Japanese.
In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the area north of Yanmen Pass was ravaged by Japanese invaders, and the people were struggling to survive. In order to ensure local security, ** decided to send Song Shilun, then the commander of the 716th Regiment of the 358th Brigade of the 120th Division, to lead his troops to march into Yanbei and open up an anti-Japanese base area.
After Song Shilun arrived at the designated place, he did not act blindly, but calmly analyzed the movements and laws of the Japanese invaders, used his strong mobility to attack the weak links of the Japanese invaders with a thunderous force, and quickly withdrew after successfully defeating the enemy, so as not to let the enemy have a chance to counterattack.
Once, the Japanese invaders received information and learned the location of the Song Shilun Department, and immediately transferred troops to attack. But Song Shilun had already been prepared, and after learning the news, he led his troops to attack the Japanese camp.
At that time, there were only a small number of puppet troops and a squadron in the camp, and they were quickly defeated by the Eighth Route Army. Song Shilun was not greedy for merit, and immediately withdrew after destroying the camp, leaving a mess waiting for the arrival of the main force of the Japanese invaders.
Song Shilun was a brave anti-Japanese hero who used his wisdom and courage to thwart the conspiracy of the Japanese invaders. When the Japanese invaders issued a high-bounty wanted warrant to arrest him, he not only did not dodge, but changed the content of the wanted warrant, changed his name to "The Chinese Nation Resolutely Resisted the War", and sent it to the Japanese prisoner's headquarters at the door.
The Japanese had no choice but to do anything about it. Later, Song Shilun used his wisdom to send invitations to the Japanese invaders, inviting them to come to the Yanbei detachment to "play".
This move once again made it impossible for the Japanese to fight back. Although the Japanese were paper tigers, Song Shilun's wisdom and courage prevented them from posing a threat to the Yanbei detachment. Overall, Song Shilun was a brave and intelligent anti-Japanese hero, and his deeds will always be remembered by people.
In the War of Liberation, Song Shilun struggled to resist in East China, and ** admired the excellent defensive ability of his subordinates, and even had"If the platoon artillery does not move, it must be ten columns"accolades.
During the period of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, he led the Ninth Corps with"Joint**"The engagement, especially in the Battle of Changjin Lake, showed incomparable bravery. In September 1952, Song Shilun returned to China from North Korea and was mainly responsible for military education.
In 1955, for his outstanding contributions during the revolutionary years, he was awarded the rank of general. General Song Shilun has had adventures since he was a child, and his adult experience is also full of legends, he deserves to be a great legendary general!
