Since ancient times, bandits in the northeast have been seriously plagued, especially in the years of the War of Resistance Against Japan, warlords of all walks of life have fought in a mixed war, and after many warlords have suffered defeats, they have taken their equipment to the grass for the sake of the poor, some of them have robbed the rich and saved the poor, but most of the bandits are still fish and flesh people, killing people like hemp, and they have two guns to seal the mountain as king. In the end, it was solved by the Red Army
On August 10, 1945, the Soviet Red Army entered the Heihe River and fought a final fierce battle with the Japanese Kwantung Army, and on August 15, the Japanese Emperor announced his unconditional surrender, and some die-hard elements of the Japanese army did not lay down their weapons until about the 20th. After the Soviet Red Army entered heihe, it established the garrison headquarters in heihe and exercised military control. At that time, the Northeast Heihe River could be described as very chaotic, the old Kuomintang department went everywhere to recruit bandits and bandits to join the army, the appointment letters flew all over the sky, today to get you a brigade commander, tomorrow to get you a regimental commander, the local bandits are all made like regular troops, the bandits are also wearing different styles of uniforms, hats are crooked, holding revolvers, everyone is a murderous lord, all of them are trying to intercept communism
Speaking of this northeastern bandit king, of course, it belongs to Kang Chonggang, this person is the old Kuomintang department, after the War of Resistance Against Japan, he led his troops to fall into the grass as a coward, and in the northeast Heihe he named himself, known as the bandit brigade commander, Kang Chonggang tried his best to envelop all the bandits near the Heihe River, everywhere he used the letter of appointment to win over people and horses, today to get you a battalion commander, tomorrow to shoot you a regimental commander, all of them are on the mountain grass for Kou, Kang Chonggang's appetite is not small, after trying his best to win over people and horses, organize bandits to attack the county town, and make a county magistrate himself.
Kang Chonggang arranged for his own troops to go down and sneak into the county seat, and Zhang Mingjiu shot all ten captured Soviet officers and soldiers on the way back from defeat, which annoyed the Soviet garrison and became the fuse for the Soviet army to change its superficial neutral position. In mid-January, he and the upper echelons of the Black Sixth Brigade were all detained by the Soviet army and sent to the Soviet Union for execution, Kang Chonggang's younger brother Kang Chongyi organized a troop to attack the Soviet army in anger, and was defeated and captured, which angered the Soviet Red Army, which felt that this bandit plague was very serious, and immediately sent tank armed forces and bandits to exchange fire after negotiating with the government.
After the Soviet Red Army captured Kang Chonggang, it was about to be executed immediately, but Kang Chonggang and more than 20 other bandit leaders did not think so, Kang Chonggang said to the Soviet Red Army: I tell you a secret, my subordinates are gathering troops to attack the various departments separately, you don't want to live a good life for a long time, these words before his death stunned everyone, this seemingly uncultured bandit leader actually had such a detailed arrangement plan, the next day Zhang Mingjiu, a member of the bandits, gathered Li Yunhe. Lao Paoshan and several other bandits attacked the second brigade of the garrison Sijiazi and began to carry out retaliation.
