Strange both google and mdbg.net show it phonetically as "gòng​fěi", but for some reason, google then translates that to 'gangster'. But if you break it up, both sites give you 'total bandit.'

Each character individually translate to "common" (as in communism) and then "bandit". It's a disparaging term for mainland Chinese soldiers (and shills) as far as I can tell
