Kaohsiung High organizes a resistance corps: According to the memoirs of Peng Meng-chi, the commander in Kaohsiung at the time who gave the order to attack Kaohsiung High, it was on March 7 that he ordered two battalions to attack the school's playing field with mortars. When the soldiers entered the school, they discovered that apart from a few mainlanders the crowds and students had already left. So no fighting broke out.
據當時高雄要塞司令，也是下令攻擊高雄中學的彭孟緝在其回憶錄中指出，三月七日他下令兩個營以迫擊砲向雄中操場攻擊，接著部隊攻入雄中，發現除一些外省人質外，民眾、學生都已經逃離，所以並沒有發生爭鬥。
