Therefore, General Wang Zhen decided to seize the favorable opportunity to eliminate this arrogant Japanese army, so he carefully set up an ambush in the Guangling area in an attempt to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army here. Peng Qingyun was appointed as the leader of this combat detachment against Japan, responsible for the task of encircling and annihilating the enemy.

The Japanese army has entered the ambush position of our army, and after receiving the order, Peng Qingyun personally led a small detachment to pounce on the Japanese army, and the soldiers all regarded death as if they were home, and bravely charged at the enemy! The Japanese army could not have imagined that the Eighth Route Army dared to ambush them here, let alone that the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were so heroic, and the arrogance of the previous period was suddenly gone, and for a time they completely lost their square inches, so they had to retreat to the side of the car and stubbornly resist.
During the battle, Peng Qingyun inadvertently saw a fat Japanese officer hiding behind a car, brandishing a combat knife and shouting, as if ordering soldiers to resist. Peng Qingyun thought that this fat officer must be the commander of the Japanese army, so he held out his hand to ask the squad leader Zhang Youren for a gun: "Quickly give me the gun!" ”

Peng Qingyun was the best sharpshooter in the whole regiment, and Zhang Youren knew that he must be the big target he had discovered, so he hurriedly handed over his three-eight large-cap rifle. Peng Qingyun took the gun, made slight adjustments, and quickly shot at the target, only to hear the sound of "ding" and the fat officer fell. It was later learned that the fat officer who was killed by Peng Qingyun was Lieutenant General Hiroharu Tokioka of the Japanese army.
