In 1944, the Japanese army was defeated in the Pacific Theater and began to die in China, so it launched the battles of Lishui and Wenzhou. In July, the Japanese 15th Division, with a single wing, pounced on Lishui, which was defended by the 21st Division of the Nationalist 88th Army.
In order to effectively annihilate the enemy, the command ordered a regiment to hold Lishui and prepare to lure the enemy deeper and annihilate the Japanese army in the songyang and Yiping areas. At that time, the 63rd Regiment of the 21st Division was tasked with, and the regimental commander was Peng Xueru, Huangpu 7th, and Yiyang, Hunan. After receiving the order, Colonel Peng decided to coexist and die with the city. He ordered all the pontoon bridges in The Watergate to be removed, and said to his wife, Jiang Mei, "If you die in battle, please save yourself and leave me alone." ”
On August 22, the Japanese army attacked Lishui from Wuyi and Yongshou in two ways, and only three days later they attacked the city. At dusk on the 25th, the Japanese army launched an attack on Yeosu. The devils set up more than 10 cannons and shelled the Lishui city wall day and night. The defensive line of the 63rd Regiment of our army was lined up in a row, with the first battalion guarding the left canal gate in the west, the second battalion guarding the Liyang Gate and the Huxiao Gate in the north, and the third battalion guarding the Xiahe Gate in the east. Commander Peng personally led the 63rd Regiment to fight fiercely with the Japanese Kou, and every inch of land was bound to fight, and outside the city, corpses were strewn across the field, and blood flowed like a river, which was extremely tragic.
After nightfall, the Japanese army could not attack for a long time, but the hateful traitors led the team for the devils to climb the city wall from Baiyun Mountain into the city, resulting in the commanding heights in the north being controlled by the Japanese Kou, and attacking our army's positions in the city with fierce artillery fire. Zhao Chuhao, the commander of the second battalion, led his troops to defend and launched a counterattack with the Japanese army, but at this moment, the Xiamen River Gate in the east lost his hand, and the ghosts drove straight into the swarm. Seeing that Li Yang could not resist, Commander Peng personally led the troops and launched a fierce street battle with the devils. Due to the disparity in strength between the two sides, the 63rd Regiment collapsed and fell to the ground at Xiaoshuimen. Commander Peng, armed with a machine gun, killed all the way to the vicinity of the City God Temple, was swept away by the ghost machine gun and died heroically, at the age of 31.
The Japanese army took advantage of the victory to pursue, suddenly a burst of machine guns swept in, killing 6 or 7 Japanese soldiers on the spot, it turned out that Jiang Mei, the wife of Peng Xueru's regimental commander, carried a machine gun and killed all the wounded soldiers along the way, ready to recapture the corpse of the regimental commander to avenge her husband. The Japanese army also refused to give up, and swarmed at them. After Jiang Mei finished shooting bullets, she began to fight with the devil's short soldiers to fight the bayonet, and the devil saw her a female stream preparing to be captured, even though Jiang Mei was extremely heroic, and stabbed 4 Japanese soldiers to death under several back and forth. Unfortunately, Jiang Mei himself was shot several times, and finally fell into a pool of blood because he was outnumbered.
Although Jiang Mei was a female stream, she followed Peng Tuan's Long March for many years and practiced a good skill. Before the war, Commander Peng had urged his wife to leave, but the husband and wife had a deep affection, and Jiang Mei's feats deeply shocked the Japanese army. Later, the captain of the Japanese army's Sato Brigade ordered that their husband and wife be buried with samurai ceremonies, and the words "Female God" were written in front of Jiang Mei's tomb to show respect.
