In the battle of Changde recorded in Taiwan, it was written that the 73 army was ordered to retreat, lost its important town and lost its good general, causing heavy losses to the 73 army. However, under the leadership of Mr. Peng, the 5th division of the 73rd army fought against the Japanese aggressors, consuming a large number of Japanese troops and delaying the enemy's offensive time, so that our army was fully prepared to win the final victory in the battle of Changde. "Mr. Peng made great contributions.".

"General Peng Shiliang, a student, was honest and plain. He was in an important position. He did not care about industry. He had no roof over his head and no land under his head. After his sacrifice, his family had a hard life. General Peng Shiliang is a model of integrity. He devoted himself to the Northern Expedition and the war of resistance against Japan. He has been through many battles, made many miraculous achievements, and sacrificed his life for his country. In fact, it is a great loss for our nation. " (on December 22, 1943, Ta Kung Pao reported Mr. Peng Gu's family history.)
General Peng Shiliang is one of the 108 generals of Huangpu Military Academy. He is a top student of the 11th Army University and the first general who died in the battle of Changde in the Anti Japanese war. Mr. Peng is strict with himself and lenient with others, which is deeply loved by his subordinates. He was especially famous for his wisdom and bravery. He made brilliant achievements in every battle, and was most prominent in the battles of Binhu and Changde.
In his life, the general was frugal and compassionate. He was especially proficient in the study of Wu and sun. Therefore, he was able to sincerely respect the affairs and control the public with benevolence. The general's benevolence is the great loss of our nation. When the government heard about the loss, it sent it back to the lieutenant general of the army.
In September 2004, Li Rui, a former member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and an old revolutionary, commented during his visit to Shimen: "every Shimen person, and even every Chinese, should remember Peng Shiliang!"
