He was the least famous of the first-term life of Whampoa, who once disobeyed the general's orders but achieved a great victory, and was later awarded the rank of lieutenant general
The Whampoa Military Academy has produced too many well-known talents, so there are some generals who have obviously made a lot of contributions but are not famous, such as the Peng Mingzhi to be introduced today.
Peng Mingzhi was a first-term student of Huangpu, and although he was not well-known among his classmates, he worked hard in the Northern Expedition, and everyone called him a fierce general. After Chiang Kai-shek betrayed the revolution, Peng Mingzhi resolutely chose to join the camp of our party and performed well in the subsequent anti-encirclement and suppression struggle.
After the outbreak of the All-out War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Peng Meizhi was ordered to open up an anti-Japanese base area in Sulu, and in just one year, Peng Meizhi fought with the Japanese army 76 times, killing and wounding more than 11,800 Japanese puppet troops.
After the Anhui Incident, Peng Mingzhi joined the reconstruction work of the army, served as the brigade commander of the 7th Brigade of the 3rd Division, and experienced more than 1500 large and small battles, and was praised by Mr. Chen as "the steel force in the main force in central China", which made great contributions to the great plan of the War of Resistance.
During the Liberation War, Peng Meizhi commanded the famous Battle of Xiushui Hezi, when his opponent was Du Yuming, a famous figure in the Nationalist army. It is worth mentioning that Liang Xingchu, a fierce general of our army, also had to accept the command of Peng Mingji in this campaign, which shows his command and command.
Before the war, Peng Mingzhi had already inspected the terrain of Xiushui Hezi in advance, and there were bunkers and trenches built by the Nationalist Party troops everywhere, and the fortifications were not ventilated, so Peng Meizhi abandoned the tactic of frontal assault and turned to a feint to confuse the defenders. As soon as this plan worked, the main attack force instantly launched an onslaught from the flank and took Xiushui Hezi before a large number of enemy reinforcements arrived on the battlefield.
In one fell swoop, more than 1,600 people from 5 battalions of the Kuomintang army were annihilated, and countless supplies were captured. But in fact, when the battle was most fierce, Peng Mingji's troops were once attacked by the enemy back and forth, and even Lin Shuai asked him to retreat, but Peng Meiji dared to disobey the military orders and finally achieved the "Great Victory of Xiushui Hezi". Afterwards, Lin Shuai not only did not blame him, but commended him.
In 1944, Peng Meizhi launched another attack on the Kuomintang troops around Xiao County and Yongcheng, and after seizing the favorable terrain, Peng Meizhi crushed the Kuomintang troops attacking from the three roads, and in one fell swoop controlled the area north of the Vortex River and the southwest of Su (County), thus building a contact channel with the Wulingfeng area of Dongsi on Jinpu Road, and finally the entire battle ended, Peng Meizhi destroyed more than 3,600 enemy troops, and countless weapons and horses.
In recognition of Peng Mingzhi's brilliant achievements, he was awarded the rank of lieutenant general in 1955. In 1993, Peng Mingzhi died of illness in Beijing.
