In 1941, Peng Shiliang served as senior staff officer of the 6th Theater Commander's Department and director of the Education Department of the Cadre Training Corps. At the end of 1942, he served as the deputy commander of the temporary 5th Division of the 73rd Army of the Army, and led his troops to participate in the Third Battle of Changsha.

In 1943, Peng Shiliang was appointed as the temporary commander of the 5th Division. In November, the Japanese army launched the Changde Battle in western Yunnan in order to contain the Chinese army and undermine the morale of the Chinese army. The temporary 5th Division was ordered to hold Shimen and prevent the Japanese army from outflanking Changde from the west.

On November 8, the Japanese 3rd Division and 13th Division launched a fierce attack on Shimen under the cover of aircraft and artillery. The temporary 5th Division fought bloody battles under the command of Peng Shiliang. The officers and soldiers of the unit held on for eight days and nights, suffering heavy casualties.
