In October 1950, he participated in the battle of the China People's Volunteers in North Korea. In November, during the division and annihilation of the U.S. military in South Hamgyong Province in the second battle of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, Yang Gensi, then the company commander of a certain unit of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army, was ordered to lead a platoon to guard the small hill southeast of the 1071.1 highland on the outskirts of Hagaru-ri, responsible for cutting off the U.S. military's retreat from the south. On November 29, the 1st US Marine Division, known as the "Ace" Army, began to attack Xiaogaoling. Heavy artillery fire destroyed most of the fortifications. He led the entire platoon to quickly repair the fortifications and prepare for battle. When the US military approached only 30 meters away, he led the entire platoon to suddenly fire and quickly repelled the first attack of the US military. Then, the U.S. military organized two companies of troops and launched another attack under the cover of eight tanks. He commanded the soldiers to bravely charge into the enemy group and fight with bayonets, butt butts and shovels. During the fierce battle, another group of U.S. troops rushed to the top of the mountain. He personally led the 7th and 9th squads to fight head-on, and commanded the 8th squad to penetrate from the mountainside into enemy lines, repelling the U.S. troops again. The US military then carried out indiscriminate bombing of Xiaogaoling with air and ground artillery fire, and then launched a group charge. He led the entire platoon to fight tenaciously, and with the heroic spirit of "man in position", he repelled eight US attacks in succession. When the grenade was dropped and the last bullet was fired, leaving only him and the two wounded on the position, more than 40 American troops climbed closer to the top of the mountain. At the critical moment, he picked up the only pack of explosives, lit the fuse, and rushed into the enemy group. He died together with the American troops who had climbed to the position, and died heroically.
