He Jinnian everyone knows that he is a famous hero for suppressing bandits, and he is famous for suppressing bandits in northern Shaanxi; in Yan'an, he served as the commander of the first brigade of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia-Jinsui Joint Defense Army and the commander of the Trilateral Garrison Headquarters.
Later, bandits were rampant in the northeast, and Gao Gang, deputy secretary of the Northeast Bureau, suggested to Lin Biao that He Jinnian be transferred to suppress the bandits, and he rushed to the northeast without stopping, taking up the post of commander of Hejiang Province in the northeast, and closely cooperating with Zhang Wentian, secretary of the Hejiang Provincial CPC Committee, to launch a fierce pursuit and attack on the bandit armed forces in Hejiang Province.
The film adaptation of Yang Zirong's "Wise Tiger Mountain" adapted from Qu Bo's novel "Lin Hai Xueyuan" is the prototype of He Jinnian's troops.
Bandits in the northeast have a long history, in the Qing Dynasty period has been deeply rooted, the former leader of the Northeast Army Zhang Zuolin marshal is a bearded (bandit), therefore, the bandits in the northeast are a family of officials and bandits, even the Japanese army invaded the northeast, they all adopted a policy of suppression of the bandits, using bandits to fight the anti-Japanese democratic coalition army, the giant bandit Xie Wendong was originally the commander of the Eighth Army of the Northeast Democratic Coalition Army, he was sold by the Japanese army, he turned his hands to resist the soldiers to suppress, and his hands were stained with the blood of the anti-japanese soldiers.
After the restoration of the northeast, in order to seize the northeast and gain actual control, the Kuomintang began to co-opt the bandits, and many bandit capitals were taken in, such as the prototype of the mountain sculpture in "Wise Tiger Mountain", which was once awarded the commander of the second detachment of the second column of the Kuomintang Northeast Advance Army.
After the surrender of the Japanese army, Xie Wendong and Li Huatang, the giant bandits of Hejiang Province, accepted the kuomintang's solicitation, and Chiang Kai-shek also awarded them the rank of general, obediently, higher than the rank of lieutenant general Du Yuming, commander of the security of the northeast region, and they also stubbornly gave their lives for the Kuomintang camp and confronted the Northeast Democratic United Army. Following all the clues, one by one, they found the bandits' hiding places, destroyed their secret camps, and eliminated the personnel.
Mobilizing the masses in the northeast to help find the whereabouts of the bandits, the masses in the northeast saw that the People's Democratic Coalition Army was mighty, sincerely served the masses, fought against the bandits, and provided them with the whereabouts of the bandits.
After the two giant bandits were shot, He Jinnian adopted a policy of digging up his heart, mobilizing the families of the bandits to go up the mountain and asking them to call the bandits home.

During He Jinnian's garrison in Jiangxi, he began a severe crackdown on the bandits in Jiangxi, and many large habitual bandits and stock bandits were eliminated, and a small number of remnants fled to the deep mountains and old forests to survive.
One day, He Jinnian wanted to go down to the bottom to inspect the work, and the bandits in Jiangxi had not yet been eliminated, so he took a reinforcement company and set off, and the vast number of readers knew that Jiangxi's mountains were full of rivers and ditches, and the convoy drove forward along the simple road at the bottom of the mountain, and when it came to a mountain pass surrounded by mountains and rivers, it was attacked by an armed band of bandits.
These bandits were a bandit army that was crushed by the troops of the 48th Army, and they hid in the deep mountains and old forests of this mountain ravine, and they were in a panic, and the grain was almost finished, and the leader of the bandits was a regimental commander of the Kuomintang army, and he was worried.
At this time, the reconnaissance team sent out reported to him that a convoy of the People's Liberation Army had passed by here, and this guy was overjoyed, saying: "There is no place to step on the iron shoes, it takes no effort at all, and it is worrying that someone will come to deliver what." ”
He gathered together hundreds of bandits in the bandits' nest and said to the bandits, "Brothers, we are in this deep mountain and old forest, and the grain is almost exhausted, and the ammunition is running out, and just as the convoy of the communist army is coming down the mountain, we have robbed their convoy and carried the supplies up the mountain, and we can get food and drink again." After saying that, he led the bandits to roar down the mountain.
He Jinnian was a very vigilant man, when passing by this place, he saw that the mountains were dangerous and densely forested, and ordered the captain of the guard convoy to prepare for battle, the guard captain vigilantly observed the movement around him, and suddenly, he found that there were several reclining trees in front of him blocking the way, and immediately ordered the guards to get off the car, he did not let the soldiers go to remove the barricades, but let the soldiers occupy the favorable terrain and observe carefully.
At this time, the bandits saw that the convoy had stopped, shouted and rushed down, and the guards and fighters who were waiting in a tight position shot down and shot down, and the leader of the bandit regiment saw the situation and reorganized the second charge.
He Jinnian stepped out of the car, he observed the movement around him, ordered the soldiers to stay on the spot, wait for the bandits to approach and then fight, 100 meters, 50 meters, 30 meters, He Jinnian shouted: "Fight", the bandits were beaten to death and injured, and the rest retreated to the mountains.
At this time, there were troops of the 49th Army stationed nearby, the commander of the 49th Army, Zhong Wei, just happened to come to this regiment to check the work, after hearing the gunshots, he immediately led a battalion to come to reinforcements, Zhong Wei was very clever in fighting, ordered two companies of reinforcements to climb to the enemy's mountain ridge, and fight from above, he led a company and He Jinnian's guard to attack upwards, the bandits could not hold on, there were guns shooting overhead, there was a communist offensive at the bottom, and the bandit regiment leader said desperately: "Escape!" ”
The bandits' structure was disrupted, they scattered and fled, the People's Liberation Army bravely pursued, the leader of the bandit regiment was seen by the PLA shooters on the way to escape, aimed and shot, killed with one shot, the dragons were leaderless, the reinforcements and the guards closed together to encircle the circle, the undead bandits obediently raised their hands and surrendered, He Jinnian saw that Zhong Wei led people to rush to reinforcements, tightly held Zhong Wei's hand and said: "Brother! I didn't expect us to meet here."
Zhong Wei said humorously, "Old brother, you don't have a gunshot, how can you call me?" ”
The two laughed loudly, and He Jinnian said to Zhong Wei before leaving, "Brother, I owe you a favor. ”
Zhong Wei said, "I didn't suffer a loss when I came!" Aren't all these booty mine? ”
The two men said goodbye, He Jinnian boarded the car and set off, Zhong Wei and the reinforcements took the captured weapons and took the prisoners, and the soldiers returned to the garrison with high morale and cheerfully singing loud military songs.
