After leaving the war-torn DPRK, returning to the country, enjoying the sunshine of peace, he was a little uncomfortable, sitting in the office of the organ all day, reviewing documents, feeling uncomfortable, but there was no way, the organization's decision had to be obeyed, so he calmed down, grasped the arrangement of various work of the infantry school, grasped the training of cadets and the daily management of school affairs, and pushed the military training to a climax.

After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Song Shilun, who served as the commander of the army, was demoted several ranks in a row and served as the commander of the 716th Regiment of the 358th Brigade of the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army, but he did not say anything and led the troops to the area north of Yanmen Pass in Shanxi to open up a new situation in the anti-Japanese armed forces.
In 1938, Song Shi rotated to the Pingxi District and served as the commander of the fourth column and the commander of the 12th Detachment of the Eighth Route Army, and in June, he and Political Commissar Deng Hua led their troops to advance into eastern Hebei to support the anti-Japanese armed riot in eastern Hebei organized by Li Yunchang, and in August, he concurrently served as the commander of the Hebei Chareliao Military Region.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, in November 1950, Song Shilun led his troops to enter Korea as the second round of troops participating in the volunteer army's trip to Korea, serving as commander and political commissar of the Ninth Corps of the Chinese People's Volunteers, waging a-for-tat struggle against the US forces that invaded Korea, participating in commanding the second and fifth campaigns, the defensive campaign in the summer and autumn of 1951, and the consolidation of positions in the spring and summer of 1952.
In the second battle, due to the Ninth Corps' underestimation of the cold conditions in Korea, it rushed into battle, and in the process of encircling and annihilating the US First Marine Division, officers and men wore thin cotton clothes from the south, adhered to discipline in icy Korea, endured cold and hunger, many officers and men were frostbitten and froze to death, and even one company became ice sculptures.
Under such conditions, Song Shilun led the Ninth Corps to overcome huge difficulties and hit the US army fiercely, and the First Marine Division was forced to retreat, while the volunteers could not form a siege and annihilation battle against the First Marine Division due to insufficient equipment, and finally could only push back the First Marine Division.
After the war, the Ninth Corps of the Chinese Volunteers was counted to reduce its non-combat personnel to more than 20,000.
In the fall of 1952, Song Shilun was transferred back to China to train infantry talents for our army and continue to play his talents.
It is said that after General Song Shilun encountered the gangsters robbing with knives, he led the guards to block the way of the gangsters, and the general said to the gangsters who were holding the murder weapon and dancing with their hands: "Put down your murder weapon, follow me to the public security organ to turn yourself in, and strive for leniency." ”
The gangster leader saw that there were only a few generals in his group, and said arrogantly: "I said that you are a soldier, why do you care so much about idle things?" I didn't rob your barracks, and I didn't mess with you, why can't you get by with us, the road is facing the sky, each asking for wealth, each does not block his own way, give way to one road, let's go! ”
The general smiled coldly and said: "You robbed other people's property and money, and let me let you go, you ask the victimized masses, can you agree?" Quickly put down the robbed things and obediently turn myself in. ”
The gangster leader said arrogantly: "Good words told you a basket, you have to live with us, just rely on you who are soldiers, want to capture us, see the guys in our hands, are you willing to do it?" ”
Saying that, he waved the murder weapon in his hand, and the general said contemptuously: "To deal with you little fur thieves, a few of us are enough, less verbose, just tie up your hands!" ”
The gangsters did not agree, brandishing large knives and other murder weapons, and rushed towards the general, who said to the guards and soldiers: "Don't hurry up and do it, what are you doing there?" ”
The guard soldiers rushed forward to fight with the gang of gangsters, the guard squad leader Liu Dalu took out a pistol, forced the chest of the gangster leader, dropped the murder weapon in his hand, swept his legs with one hand, knocked him to the ground, took out military handcuffs, and shackled his back.
At this time, the masses who were robbed of shops came out to applaud the general and his party, and the general ordered that the robbed property and money of the gangsters be returned to the masses of the shops, and handed over the gangsters to the public security police who rushed to hear the news.
After interrogation by the public security department, this gang of gangsters were bandits who wandered in the mountains before liberation, and after liberation, the local countryside carried out land reform, and they couldn't stay in the local area, ran to the city to prepare for the crime, robbed money and property and returned to the mountains for the winter, but they didn't think about it, and they were bumped by General Song Shilun who passed by here, and they deserved their bad luck!
The public security organs have vigorously cracked down on and punished them according to the crimes they have committed.
After busy with these things, Song Shilun led the guards and soldiers back to the infantry school.
