Fighting with the Red Army, he suffered defeats in succession, but he fought more and more courageously against the Japanese army, and chose to serve as a commander after the uprising
In the revolutionary years of the last century, the weapons and equipment of our army, whether it was the Red Army or the Eighth Route Army, were relatively backward in weaponry, but it was very strange that the Nationalist army fought more and more courageously in the face of the well-armed Japanese army, but in the face of the Red Army, it suffered defeats in succession, such as this Nationalist general named Peng Jieru.
Peng Jieru joined the revolution very early, and during the Northern Expedition, he made many military achievements, and in 1931 he became a brigade commander and led the 30th Brigade of the 10th Division of the 14th Army of the Nationalist Army. Chiang Kai-shek then assigned him to encircle and suppress the Red Army, who knew that the first battle was lost and a regiment was eaten.
Wei Lihuang also arranged for Peng Jieru to go to Huang'an, and Peng Jieru may have gone through bad luck and met his old classmate Chen Geng in Huang'an.
At the Whampoa Military Academy, Chen Geng was a well-known figure, and Peng Jieru admired Chen Geng very much at that time, and did not expect that the two would become opponents on the battlefield. Before the battle began, Peng Jieru's heart was bottomless, which made Peng Jieru's troops unable to play the original combat effectiveness, and as a result, they were beaten by Chen Geng and the brigade headquarters was eaten.
After several consecutive defeats, Peng Jieru had a deep psychological shadow, so when he fought with the Red Army later, Peng Jieru was always very afraid, so every time he was defeated. When it came to the anti-Japanese battlefield to face the Japanese army, Peng Jieru suddenly became powerful.
When the Japanese army attacked Shanxi, Chiang Kai-shek asked Wei Lihuang's 14th Army to quickly come to support, and Peng Jie, the commander of the 10th Division, also rushed to Shanxi and participated in the Battle of Xinkou. The location of Dabaishui is of great strategic significance, and the Japanese Itagaki Division sent 30 tanks in order to capture this place in one fell swoop, and Dabaishui was also subjected to indiscriminate bombardment by the Japanese army.
Peng Jieru led his troops to hold on to Dabaishui at that time, and although they suffered intensive bombardment, Peng Jieru's troops never retreated.
When the general attack of the Japanese army sounded, Peng Jieru used all his strength to beat the Japanese army fiercely and struck at the arrogance of the Itagaki Division. After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, Peng Jieru still had a shadow in his heart, and he did not want to face our army again.
Subsequently, Cheng Qian announced the uprising, and Peng Jieru followed the uprising. Our army gave great preferential treatment to the rebel generals, and let Peng Jieru become the commander of the 53rd Army, which was a very high level. If Peng Jieru had been in this rank in 1955, he would have received the rank of lieutenant general.
However, in 1951, the 53rd Army was abolished, and Peng Jieru left the army and transferred to a local post, so he finally passed by the rank.
