During the Battle of Songhu, there were very few generals who were able to repel the Japanese army, and they inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese army at the cost of 12,000 casualties.
There are no cowards under the M35 steel helmet, and only Song Xilian's 36th Division can deserve this praise!
In the battle of Lanfeng, his classmates were busy running away, and he led the 71st Army to severely damage the Tufei Yuan Division!
Before the Battle of Wuhan, he faced a division of the Japanese army with inferior equipment and forcibly exchanged one with the Japanese army!
Others fought with superior troops, and if they fought inferior records, they could all be praised and commended by the Kuomintang.
And Song Xilian, except for the counterattack in western Yunnan, the other records are inferior troops, inferior equipment, and excellent records!
128 Songhu Anti-Japanese War
Song Xilian can be said to have become famous as a teenager, entering the Whampoa Military Academy at the age of 17! Being promoted to major general at the age of 24! Lieutenant general at the age of 29!
He was not only promoted early, but also fought the Japanese early, as early as the 128th Shanghai Anti-Japanese War, he invited Ying to participate in the war, fought side by side with the 19th Route Army, and suffered heavy losses to the Japanese army. Crushed the plan for a breakthrough in the center of the Japanese army!
At that time, Song Xilian found He Yingqin to express his anti-Japanese attitude, He Yingqin was very disapproving, and persuaded him not to be impulsive!
Song Xilian didn't accept the PUA, and if he didn't let me resist the Japanese, I wouldn't leave, and brought a large group of people around He Yingqin to explain the law!
In the end, Chiang Kai-shek ordered to swear to join the war!
Patriotic feelings can be seen!
Battle of Songhu
In 1937, the Battle of Songhu began, and he led the 36th Division from Xi'an to Shanghai, fought with the Japanese army for three days, attacked Huishan Wharf, and forced the Japanese army to retreat to the ships!
At that time, although Song Xilian's troops were German armor divisions, they had more enemies in front of them and were better equipped!
That's it, Song Xilian can still repel the Japanese army!
Chiang Kai-shek, who learned the news, was very happy and hyped it up, which made the people of the whole country excited!
After that, it fought with the Japanese army in Hongkou and Jiangwan, and the 36th Division suffered 12,000 casualties, and there was no coward!
During the defense of Nanjing, he even pointed a gun at Sun Yuanliang: If you dare to retreat, I will dare to shoot!
But then General Fei still ran away!
Since then, Song Xilian has extremely contempt for Sun Yuanliang and will never work together!
Battle of Lanfeng
In July 1938, he led the 71st Army to fight fiercely with the Tufei Yuan Division in Lanfeng, severely damaging the Tufei Yuan Division. If it weren't for his two good classmates Huang Jie and Gui Yongqing who escaped, their performance would have been even better!
It is said that Huang Jie and Gui Yongqing both fled in violation of the order, but they were only transferred from their original posts, and Song Xilian was ordered to retreat in Nanjing, but he was removed!
The rewards and punishments within the Kuomintang are really like the birthday of a fishing girl, you can do whatever you want!
In August of the same year, at Fujin Mountain and Shawoyu, he led three divisions to inflict heavy losses on the Japanese army, killing and wounding more than 20,000 enemies! It was the only frontal confrontation in the early stage of the anti-Japanese war, which could exchange one with the Japanese army!
Before 1938, the ratio of war losses between the Kuomintang and the Japanese army was even more than 1 to 5!
The Supreme High Command telegraphed and awarded the Huazhou Medal!
During the counteroffensive in western Yunnan, he was awarded the Order of the Blue Sky and White Sun!
However, the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal during the counteroffensive in western Yunnan is actually not very golden!
Personal characteristics
Song Xilian fights a war, and the main thing is to only fight against the wind, not against the wind! Adversity can also be opened in five or five, and the desperate situation must be pulled out!
Song Xilian has a relatively straight personality, likes to fight unevenly, and has a bad temper, and he will not be as comfortable in factional battles as Huang Jie! And he also admits death! He doesn't like to engage in duplicity, so he doesn't have a faction!
On the contrary, because there is no faction, many people are vying to win him over, and old classmates Hu Zongnan, Tang Enbo, and Chen Cheng have all shown favor to him.
But this brother didn't react at all!
Later, I knew that he was such a person, and he was no longer reluctant!
Once, Kong Xiangxi's daughter Kong Lingwei traveled, which was too extravagant, and Kong Lingwei's style was very manly. Song Xilian said that she was a complete monster! He said that the Kong family brought disaster to the country and the people! He was not used to seeing other people's flattering performances!
In other words, you all know what the Kong family looks like, why do you continue to work hard for the four major families?
Because of this, I offended Kong Xiangxi!
I have nothing to say to my friends, and I was able to give up the position of corps commander to Zhong Bin, so that there was the Send-off (Song Zhong) group that everyone made fun of later.
When Chen Geng was arrested, he also took the initiative to contact Huangpu classmates to write a joint letter to intercede.
Later, he said to Chen Geng: You can't run, we made a guarantee, and I am responsible for you running away!
It is a hint that Chen Geng can escape!
But he can't stand playing chess and regretting chess! If someone wants to regret chess, he will definitely jump like thunder! It is possible to fight!
And the most amazing operation of General Song Xilian has to be the origin of the words "Eagle Dog General".
After Song Xilian arrived in the United States, people in a certain place attacked him as an eagle dog, and he directly changed his autobiographical name to: "Eagle Dog General: Song Xilian's Self-Statement". You say I'm an eagle dog, I'll be an "eagle dog", and I slapped some people in the face!
General Song is a general with character, attitude, achievements, ability, and responsibility, and there are too few such people in the Kuomintang!
