There were 20 inter-provincial crimes, killing 26 people and robbing 6 million people, And Zhang Jun, China's first bandit gun demon

author:Fight Wenxuan
On November 20, 2020, a police film called "Crackdown" was released in the mainland's inland areas. As soon as this film was released, it caused a huge response in China. But what many people don't know is that the criminal gang "Eagle Gang" headed by Zhang Falcon in the film actually has a prototype in reality. Zhang Falcon's arrogance and fierceness in the play have left an extremely deep impression on many audiences. And his prototype in real life, Zhang Jun, is even worse than the image in film and television dramas. Zhang Jun committed the murder for the first time in 1993 and did not have the slightest remorse. After the killing, he absconded for six years, during which time he committed nearly twenty more crimes and robbed six million of his vast property. In addition, in the process of wandering, he also found five mistresses for himself and pulled up a criminal gang, which is also the prototype of the "Eagle Gang" in the film and television drama. How did Zhang Jun go from an ordinary person to the first bandit on the mainland? As a murderer, why can he have five loyal mistresses and a little brother? How did he get arrested and eventually brought to justice?

Born poor and greedy for money

In May 1966, Zhang Jun was born in Hualin Village, Changde City, Hunan Province, Mainland China. After his birth, his family conditions were not good, and it could even be said that it was a relatively poor one, which was a well-known poor household in the local village. However, the people of the Zhang family are very prosperous, Zhang Jun has a total of seven brothers and sisters, but such a large population naturally brings an extremely serious burden to this already very poor family. And in addition, Zhang Jun's family is still a reorganized family, and what is more embarrassing is that except for Zhang Jun, all the children are the children of Zhang Jun's mother and ex-husband. Zhang Jun is the youngest and is the only seedling of the Zhang family, and whether he can completely integrate into the circle of his six brothers and sisters in the process of growing up is an unpredictable question.

Zhang

In 1978, the mainland fully implemented the great policy of reform and opening up, and this year is a year worthy of happiness and celebration for the people of the whole country. However, for Zhang Jun, this year was very painful, and it also left a significant impact on his future life path. In this year, Zhang Jun's mother fell ill and was hospitalized, bringing a huge crisis to the family that was already crumbling. And what's even more fatal is that not long after being admitted to the hospital, Zhang Jun's mother was checked out for uterine cancer. To know that cancer even now, there is no effective means to treat, even if some cancers we have the means to carry out targeted treatment, this price is not the average person can afford. So for Zhang Jun, in this year, he can almost be said to have said goodbye to his mother forever.

Zhang Jun's mother also knew that she did not have many days to live after knowing that she had uterine cancer, so she took the initiative to give up treatment and went home to wait for the arrival of the last moment. Zhang Jun was a very popular child when he was a child, he studied very hard when he was in school, and he would also be very filial to help his family work after school. Whether it is his family, teachers and classmates at school, or neighbors and villagers, Zhang Jun has a high evaluation. They all believe that in the future, Zhang Jun can make a big difference and help his family get rid of poverty. When he was a child, Zhang Jun also knew that he had a heavy responsibility to help the family get rid of poverty, but at that time, he had no concept of money.

It wasn't until her mother returned home from treatment, when she was suffering from illness, that she inadvertently whispered that she wanted to eat a bowl of meatball soup before the cancer broke out. After hearing her mother's wish, Zhang Jun decided to help her mother fulfill this wish, and she must make her eat a bowl of hot meatball soup with her own efforts before her cancer broke out completely. So every day Zhang Jun would save a part of his food expenses, and finally at the end of a semester, Zhang Jun successfully raised five cents, and then took the five cents to buy meat to make meatball soup for his mother. However, after Zhang Jun came to the vegetable market, he found that the five cents were not enough to buy enough meat for the mother to make a bowl of meatball soup, and then he found a lot of markets, and finally bought some minced meat for his mother to make meatball soup at the vegetable market more than thirty miles away from home.

On the right is Zhang Jun

It is precisely because of this experience that Zhang Jun's importance to money has been recognized. It also made him understand the pain of poverty, so after this, Zhang Jun also worked harder in his studies. He knew deeply that only a good study could change his family conditions and not allow the tragedy that had already occurred to repeat itself. But unfortunately, this road will soon be impossible for Zhang Jun. When Zhang Jun first started his high school life, he had to choose to drop out of school and go home. The family was too poor to afford his tuition, so Zhang Jun finally chose to go home helplessly.

After Zhang Jun returned home, he did not take the right path. Because when he was studying in school, every day was very busy, and he suddenly had a lot of free time in his hands, Zhang Jun seemed at a loss. Zhang Jun then began to wander around the street leisurely, and eventually fell into a bad habit. Every day, the little in society do evil, except for fighting and fighting. Over time, Zhang Jun also became a local celebrity, of course, a notorious name. Zhang Jun, who used to be very popular with every household, eventually became a hooligan who was hated by everyone.

Entering the juvenile detention does not change

After Zhang Jun became a hooligan, he simply began to break the jar and break it, and went farther and farther on this disgusting road. Perhaps because the victim's plea for forgiveness when hitting people makes Zhang Jun feel very accomplished, or because fighting and grabbing money makes him feel very easy, his personality gradually begins to distort. The Zhang Jun who was kind to others in the past completely disappeared into the long river of history, leaving only a psychologically twisted and rebellious and cold-blooded Zhang Jun.

Zhang Jun's mistress

In the winter of 1983, seventeen-year-old Zhang Jun wandered the streets, ready to find another victim to rob and grab some pocket money. Soon Zhang Jun found his target, went up to beat the victim severely, and the victim finally jumped into the river in a panic in order to ensure his own life safety. Jumping into the river in the winter is undoubtedly a joke about their own health, but in order to ensure their personal safety, the victim has no other choice. In the eyes of the victim, the abuser often attaches more importance to his own physical health, and seeing him in the water is likely to taunt him and leave. But what the victim did not expect was that Zhang Jun'er jumped into the river without saying a word and arrested him.

After the victim was caught by Zhang Jun and taken out of the river, it was inevitable that he would be beaten severely, and then the victim's wet cotton clothes were also taken away by Zhang Jun for money. After getting rid of Zhang Jun, the victim decisively chose to call the police. The police also did not live up to the expectations of the victims, and soon arrested Zhang Jun and sent him to the juvenile detention center, and asked Zhang Jun to compensate the victims for their losses. After Zhang Jun entered the juvenile detention center, both his family and others thought that Zhang Jun would get the lesson he deserved. Abandoning evil from good to righteousness, but when Zhang Jun later walked out of the juvenile detention center, the crowd found that their idea was very wrong.

Most of the people in the juvenile detention center who received the reform were some bad teenagers who were because of fights or petty theft, and Zhang Jun and them could also be regarded as the same people in the same way. Although the police comrades in the juvenile detention center have worked hard to educate them, the thinking of many teenagers has been completely distorted. Zhang Jun stayed with these people for a long time, not only did not get salvation, but completely lost his reverence for the law. Therefore, even in the juvenile detention center, Zhang Jun has been fighting with other unscrupulous teenagers.

Control of firearms

After leaving the juvenile detention center, the tyrannical factor in Zhang Jun's heart became introverted, and on the surface it seemed that he had learned a lesson and began to develop on the good side, but he was still idle and idle every day. The time came to 1989, in which Zhang Jun married a girl in the village. However, after getting married, Zhang Jun still did not accept his heart, did not think that his family would become rich through his own efforts, and did not have a sense of responsibility. Zhang Jun is still the same as in the previous days, every day is idle and not doing business, thinking about how to make some quick money. In the end, after Zhang Junsi came and went, he felt that it was faster to grab money.

In late June 1991, Zhang Jun once again embarked on the road of robbery, this time robbing a cigarette wholesale store in Jinshi, Hunan Province, with a firearm. However, because it was the first time to rob with a gun, Zhang Jun was a little nervous and unfamiliar. In a panic, Zhang Jun shot and injured the shopkeeper. However, Zhang Jun thought that he had killed the shopkeeper, so he chose to flee in a panic. After Zhang Jun escaped, the shopkeeper also quickly called the police, and then Zhang Jun, who had no time to run far, was arrested by the nearby police. He was then sent to prison again for rehabilitation.

Zhang Jun of the "Second Entry Palace" still did not get enough lessons, he felt that he was caught by the police so quickly this time only because he had no experience, as for why the police arrested him, he did not want to think. In order to avoid going out, Zhang Jun was quickly arrested by the police again. So he decided to consult with the criminals in the prison and learn their anti-tracking and anti-reconnaissance techniques. During the two years of service in prison, Zhang Jun learned from criminals in prison every day in addition to completing the tasks assigned by the police. In 1993, Zhang Jun was released after completing his sentence. This time out of prison, he is full of pride and wants to show his skills and put into practice what he learned in prison.

After the robbery

Zhang Jun then worked out a robbery plan with his cellmate Liu Baogang, and in April they traveled to Anxiang County, Hunan Province, targeting a department store whose owners were sisters. One night, Zhang Jun and the two felt that the time was ripe, so they entered the store with a gun and robbed him. However, the sisters' temperament was very strong and unwilling to cooperate with Zhang Jun's actions, so Zhang Jun and the two shot through the shoulders of the sisters, snatched all the money in the store, and then fled. Gang Lie's sister immediately called the police, and after the police learned that Zhang Jun and the two were holding firearms, they also hunted down Zhang Jun and zhang Jun with real guns.

Under the efforts of the police, the traces of Zhang Jun and the two were quickly found, and they wanted Zhang Jun and the two to lay down their weapons and stop resisting. However, they did not expect that the police were directly shot by Zhang Jun and his wife, and then the police returned fire. In the course of the battle, Liu Baogang's foot was hit by a stray bullet, and Zhang Jun would not be able to give him first aid and could not send him to the hospital, but could only take Liu Baogang to escape with him and then find a way. But with the passage of time, the police circle is also constantly shrinking, Zhang Jun is also anxious, he does not want to be arrested by the police and imprisoned. Zhang Jun saw his accomplice and the blood under his body, and knew that he would definitely be caught in this way, so he directly took Liu Baogang to a remote place and shot Liu Baogang directly.

Zhang Jun has no possibility of turning back now, the guilt of robbery and intentional homicide is obviously a gap like a gap, and the stakes in this Zhang Jun are also very clear. So Zhang Jun chose to leave his hometown and go to other places to avoid police pursuit. In the 1990s, because surveillance equipment had not been popularized and the policy of real-name travel had not yet been implemented, if Zhang Jun successfully escaped outside the province, it would be difficult for the public security department to do anything about him.

Chen Le

Zhang Jun was still very arrogant in the process of fleeing, and he did not have much money on his body, so he robbed with a gun. In early February 1994, Zhang Jun fled to Ningming County, Guangxi Province, and shot and killed another person in the process of robbery. After retrieving more than 6,000 yuan in cash from the victim's corpse, Zhang Jun fled all the way west to the Yunnan area of the mainland. It was here that Zhang Jun met his first mistress, Yan Min, and officially began his sinful life.

Killing people is hard to read

Yan Min is the stage girl of the Wind and Moon Place, although her appearance is not the most outstanding of Zhang Jun's five lovers, but she is bold and careful, so she also provides Zhang Jun with great help. In August 1994, Zhang Jun fled to the place where Zhang Min lived. Because he had just robbed more than 10,000 yuan in Kaiyuan City, Zhang Jun's shot at the Fengyue place was very generous. This naturally attracted Yan Min's attention, and after the exchange, Zhang Jun also admired Yan Min very much. After coming and going, the two are also very familiar, and Zhang Jun often becomes Yan Min's protective umbrella for Yan Min.

Yan Min

After Yan Min had the protection of Zhang Jun, her boldness also began to grow, and she often stole the business of her peers. This naturally caused the dissatisfaction of Yan Min's peers, and then he found a group of small to teach Yan Min a lesson. Yan Mindang even went to look for Zhang Jun, hoping to get Zhang Jun's help. Zhang Jun also agreed with his mouth, but also put forward his own conditions, he asked Yan Min to give him some money to buy some weapons and ammunition. Yan Min also gave Zhang Jun a lot of money without much, and Zhang Jun then bought a pistol and some bullets, and then settled her predicament for Yan Min.

After Zhang Jun had enough weapons and ammunition in his hands, his actions became more and more rampant. In the two months from October to the end of November, Zhang Jun killed three people. After snatching the money, Zhang Jun will return to Zhang Min's side and the two of them will squander the bloody stolen money in the dance hall together. However, the stolen money is limited after all, so Zhang Jun also quickly decided to rob again. According to his robbery experience, people around Chongqing tend to be richer than people in Yunnan, so Zhang Jun believes that if they go to Chongqing, they will make more profits.

So Zhang Jun took Yan Min to Chongqing, and on January 25, 1995, the two cooperated to commit a serious crime. Yan Min pretended to handle business at the bank, but in fact, he was choosing a suitable target for Zhang Jun. Soon Yan Min targeted a contractor who had just withdrawn fifty thousand yuan in cash from the bank, which was undoubtedly a huge amount of money for them and worth their action. Then he sent a signal to Zhang Jun, who followed the contractor to a sparsely populated place, and then shot and killed the contractor and stole a huge amount of 50,000 yuan.

Zhang Jun was arrested

After this robbery, Yan Min thought that he and Zhang Jun were already grasshoppers on a rope, and it could be said that Su Shuangfei had flown. But this is just her wishful thinking, Zhang Jun later worried that he has been with a woman, will expose his own trajectory is to abandon Yan Min. But this robbery also made Zhang Jun realize how good people are. So Zhang Jun contacted his former cellmates to engage in robbery and murder together. In 1996, Zhang Jun and his accomplice Yan Ruoming launched an operation. On Christmas Day of that year, zhang jun robbed a gold shop in Chongqing in disguise, and in this case Zhang Jun robbed jewelry worth 630,000 yuan, causing one of the three employees to be slightly injured and two to be seriously injured.

The next year, Zhang Jun returned to his hometown in Hunan and pulled his nephew Li Zejun into his ranks. Then in September 1997, with Li Zejun and Yan Ruoming robbed a local gold shop. This time, the employees of the gold store were not as lucky as the employees of the gold store in Chongqing before, and the two died on the spot and two were slightly injured. After successfully robbing the gold shop twice, Zhang Jun is also more and more inflated, he believes that his criminal means are the most in the world, and the police are unable to help him. If Heaven wants it to perish, it must first make it crazy. Zhang Jun then locked in the next target of robbery, and he decided to take action on the bank's cash truck.

In late June 2000, Zhang Jun and his party robbed a branch of the Chongqing Commercial Bank with guns and robbed a huge amount of 140,000 yuan of stolen money. In order to avoid being tracked down by the police, Zhang Jun and others killed the killers with the intention of killing all the money carriers. Fortunately, the police arrived at the scene of the incident, and Zhang Jun and others did not kill all the money carriers, but still caused two deaths and two injuries to the money carriers. After this case, Zhang Jun and others returned to Hunan Province again, hiding from the Chongqing area.

Judge Zhang Jun

In late August, Zhang Jun's gang, which had fled back to Hunan, committed another crime. Zhang Jun's gang targeted the governor of the Agricultural Bank of Anxiang County, and after robbing 16,000 yuan, belongings worth 19,000 yuan, and a total of more than 400,000 yuan of passbooks, they shot and killed two relevant personnel. After successfully robbing the bank twice, Zhang Jun and his party were even more rampant, and there were no armed means for them to rob the cash truck or the president of the bank before. But at this time, Zhang Jun, they were already inflated to the point that they thought that even if they were armed escorts, they could safely succeed.

Finally, in September of the same year, Zhang Jun and others robbed a cash truck at a branch of the Agricultural Bank of Changde. This time, their modus operandi was unprecedentedly ferocious, because during the robbery, the cashier resisted the robbery operation of Zhang Jun and others by breaking the key to the money box. Therefore, Zhang Jun and others were very crazy to shoot at everyone, which directly led to the situation where seven people died on the spot and four people were injured. The guns of the cash truck escorts were also snatched away by Zhang Jun and others. After the incident, Zhang Jun and others also knew that their action could be said to have broken the sky, so they lurked.

After this incident, their crimes were quickly spread throughout the country, and all his crimes were also made public. Ordinary people everywhere have demanded that the government use thunderous means to arrest Zhang Jun's criminal gang. Zhang Jun and others also decided to break up and flee separately when they saw the situation.

The Public Security Department immediately launched a search for Zhang Jun and others, and wanted to arrest Zhang Jun and others as quickly as possible at all costs. The police in many places wandered around to investigate, and soon caught one of Zhang Jun's criminal gangs. This person told the police the location of Zhang Jun's nephew, and the police successfully arrested Zhang Jun's nephew. Zhang Jun's nephew also informed the police of the information of Zhang Jun's mistress, and the police finally found more than a dozen guns and more than a thousand bullets, as well as a grenade, in the home of Zhang Jun's mistress, Chen Le, and finally Chen Le informed the police of the general direction of Zhang Jun's escape.

Towards the end

In the process of the police search for Zhang Jun, Zhang Jun's first mistress, Yan Min's husband, reported that he had informed the police of some clues about Zhang Jun. Finally, according to the information of Zhang Jun's five mistresses, the police arrested Zhang Jun at the Guanyin Rock in Chongqing, as well as quan Hongyan, the mistress who handed over supplies to him. In the end, Zhang Jun's criminal gang was all arrested, and eight key members were sentenced to death, which was executed on May 20, 2001.
