Zeng Xisheng, born in 1904, was nearly 10 years old when Cai Hui was nearly 10 years old, and he was only 38 years old that year. 【Note 4].
Before Zeng Xisheng became the leader of the Seventh Division and the party, government and army of Wanjiang on May 1, 1941, although he did not have the experience of leading troops independently as a senior military commander and independently opening up and governing base areas, he had excellent strategy and insight into the overall situation, and was good at controlling the overall situation; Strong character, perseverance, bold and resolute work style, strict discipline, meticulous, open-minded, adhere to principles, love and hate, do not engage in conspiracy, do not count people. Although there were shortcomings in self-reliance, during the Wanjiang period, the employment of people was not eclectic and did not engage in small circles, and the united front work inside and outside the party was done very well in "all corners of the country." In army building, Zeng Xisheng is good at "compatibility and harmony".
At that time, the troops of the Seventh Division included not only the troops and cadres who had persisted in the guerrilla war behind enemy lines for three years after breaking through the "Southern Anhui Incident," but also the cadres of the Long March transferred from Yan'an, the local armed forces and cadres in southern and central Anhui who had persisted in the guerrilla war in southern and northern Anhui for a long time, and various popular anti-Japanese armed forces developed by local patriots under the name of the Kuomintang. After a series of adjustments, Zeng Xisheng made all his departments form a joint force to jointly resist the enemy, and built a main force of 30,000 elite soldiers from a small armed force of less than 2,000 people, and made outstanding achievements in the War of Liberation and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. In the building of local political power, Zeng Xisheng insisted on giving priority to local cadres and taking the united front as the foundation, relying on patriotic personages who have prestige in the localities to support the Communist Party and local party leaders who are familiar with local conditions, so that the building of political power has a broad mass base and has won the support of all social strata.
