In November 1945, he joined the Communist Party of China. In October 1946, in the battle of attacking guoliji, Gensi used Lalei to blow up the blockhouse. After the war, Gensi was known as the "blasting king". In January 1947, he attacked the Kuomintang garrison in Qicun village. Gensi used two packages of explosives to bomb two blockhouses, and then used them to frighten the enemy, forcing a large number of garrison in the fort to surrender. After the war, he was rated as the first-class fighting hero in East China. In December 1948, Gensi was transferred from the general staff of the brigade to the chief of the third platoon of the third company. In January 1949, when the Huaihai Campaign ended, Gensi was rated as the third class people's hero in East China. After crossing the river, the army took part in the battle of liberation of Shanghai and was promoted to the vice commander of the third company.
