Kang Lize described the experience of crossing the grass four times in the Long March: "The first time, I packed my seat and crossed the grass and met an army. After sending the Central Red Army north, it went south and crossed the grassland for the second time. 1936, meet the Red Second and Red Sixth Army Corps. Mr. Zhu took him north and crossed the grass for the third time. Thirty-four times in Qilian Mountain, the rest of the Red Thirty Army of West Road Army fought guerrilla warfare in Qilian Mountain and walked through Gobi, glaciers and grasslands. "
Kang said: "The Red Army's long March was bitter, and I came back from the dead. The marked army fought bloody battles in Hexi Corridor. I'm the monitor, taking my comrades to climb a ladder to attack Anxi Weizi. The ladder was broken and the people on it were crushed. I fainted, covered in blood. My comrades carried me down. After a battle, there are four people left in the nine-person class. After the defeat of the marked army, you fought a guerrilla war with Cheng, Li Xiannian and fought a bloody battle! Fight! Fight! Finally, 400 people were transferred to Xinjiang, and I was one of the 400 survivors. Although the marked army failed, it consumed Ma Jiajun's strength and coordinated the main force of the Red Army. " From 1940 to 1949, Kang worked in the Second Bureau of the Military Commission, the Second Bureau of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region and the Second Bureau for ten years. Because of his outstanding work, he was commended by Commander-in-Chief Zhu De, and Zhu De wrote an inscription: "Comrade Kang: Work in study and make progress in study. Zhu De "; "Reward comrade kang 1 ten thousand yuan. Zhu De ".
"1943, our second bureau cracked the password of the Kuomintang's unified and military systems by means of technical investigation, and beat back the Kuomintang's anti-* * climax. Chairman Mao's use of troops is really like a god, and it also depends on intelligence. The coded telegrams of the Kuomintang army and the orders of the war zone were sent at the first level, and some of them were not sent to the combat troops, so we knew it clearly. In the War of Liberation, Li's seven divisions were annihilated in southwest Shandong, and Zhang's seventy-four divisions were reorganized. Why do you play so well? Chen Yi, commander of Hua Ye, said: First, we must rely on the wise decisions of Chairman Mao and Commander Zhu; second, we must rely on the leadership of the Central Military Commission; third, we must rely on the heroic struggle of PLA officers and soldiers; fourth, we must rely on the close cooperation of friendly forces; and fourth, we must rely on Chiang Kai-shek's orders. Chiang Kai-shek gave his troops a copy and also gave us a copy. I hit Chiang Kai-shek with Chiang Kai-shek's orders. I hit the blind with my eyes open. "
During the Cultural Revolution, after the Lin Biao incident, the Central Military Commission transferred Kang to the General Logistics Department as deputy minister and standing committee member. Minister Wei of the cadre department of the General Political Department talked to Kang, but he refused on the grounds of low educational level, low theoretical level and little work experience. Li Desheng talked to Kang himself and asked Kang to obey orders and work boldly.
