The cavalry regiment arrived at Guojia Village. According to the deployed battle plan, Sun Desheng's troops divided into two groups, one company and two 2, to surround the entire Guojia Village to prevent the enemy from escaping after the battle started.
The other three and four companies along the way are located west of Guojiacun on the road leading to Qinggangji.
The reason why the attack timing was calculated at dawn was because the cavalry regiment was fighting in a different place and was not familiar with the local terrain and road distribution.
If it is a night battle, although there are fewer soldiers in the cavalry regiment suffering from night blindness, after all, the speed of a war horse is faster than two legs, and a person may be turned upside down if he is not careful.
When approaching Guojiacun, the soldiers of the cavalry regiment deliberately reduced their speed, but the enemy did not notice anything unusual.

The Guo family built a three-meter-high wall in the center of the village. The actual defensive effect against enemies was not as good as an ancient military fortress, and there were scattered residential buildings around it.
Guo Wenju said he was not afraid of the Eighth Route Army, but in order to strengthen the defense of his village, he gathered more than 100 members of the security team in the village.
A soldier who had been watching Guojia Village for several days escaped from the village and went forward to report: "Regiment leader, political commissar, there are no enemy sentries outside the village. Guo Wenju has gathered more than 100 security guards in the past few days.
In the stockade in the center of the village, family members of the security team and relatives of the Guo family also live there on weekdays!"
"On the surface, Guojiazhai only has one entrance and exit from the south, but there must be ways in and out from other directions!"
"It seems that Guo Wenju, the traitor, has a very rich family. The stock of food in the village must be indispensable!" Sun Desheng laughed, and then said to the correspondent: "Since Guo Wenju himself wants to be a coward, then there is no need for us to cover up.
Cover it up, notify the troops to take action immediately!"
"Yes!" the correspondent responded.
Once the order was issued, the soldiers of the first and second cavalry companies, which were deployed in four directions, rode directly on their horses and passed through the residential buildings on the periphery of Guojia Village with great fanfare and surrounded the Guojia Village in the center.
As a result, there was naturally a lot of commotion, and the security team members who were on alert on the wall immediately sounded the gong.
"There's an enemy attack, there's an enemy attack!" A man knocked on the gong and got off the wall of the village, shouting in the village.
The people on the wall were quite panicked. When the cavalry regiment approached, they could clearly see the person coming by the light.
"It's bad, the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army is really here!"
"What?" I saw the members of the security team in a panic, huddled together like chaff.
Although the weapons and equipment of the security team formed by Guo Wenju are not bad, and all of them use weapons that the Japanese army seized from the regular troops of the national army on the battlefield, the security team has just been formed, and among them, except for Guo Wenju's confidant bodyguards, the rest
The people there are all local ruffians in exile and idle people.
In the past, I could bully ordinary people. I had never even touched a gun a few months ago. After joining the security force, I put on the uniform of the puppet army and suddenly started to tremble.
Before the Eighth Route Army arrived, they all agreed with Guo Wenju's statement, and none of them took the Eighth Route Army seriously.
The main entrance of Guojiazhaizi.
The soldiers greeted by the first company commander showed the four Type 92 infantry guns accompanying the army: "Quick, set up the guns!"
At this moment, Guo Wenju also climbed up the wall of the stockade. When he saw the artillery set up outside the stockade, a rush of cold air rushed to the Tianling Cap.
"Sir, the Eighth Route Army surrounded our village on all sides. The person who reported the news was killed by the Eighth Route Army as soon as he went out. I saw it really!" a confidant reported in a panic.
"Ah?" Guo Wenju almost lost his temper when he heard this. He was no longer as arrogant as before, and then said tremblingly: "Send a few more people from the other three directions, quick!"
In fact, whenever gunshots were fired in Guojiacun, someone from the nearby villages would definitely report the news to the Japanese troops in Qinggangji. However, Guo Wenju was an ant on the hot pot at this time and could not care so much.
"The person outside is the commander of the Eighth Route Army. I'm here, Guo Wenju. I, Mr. Guo, have always been a good and law-abiding citizen. I don't know what I am doing." Guo Wenju shouted at the top of his lungs.
Qin Fuwen became angry and happy when he heard this, and said unceremoniously: "Guo, which government's laws do you, a traitor like you, obey, and whose good citizen are you?"
"Didn't you threaten to destroy our Eighth Route Army before? Well, now that we are here, I want to see what you are capable of?"
Guo Wenju deliberately delayed time and quickly explained: "Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings. Even if you lend me some courage, you don't dare to cause trouble for your army!"
"Your army is mobilized. It costs a lot of food to send out so many people. I am willing to pay 10,000 kilograms of fine grain and 1,000 yuan to resolve the misunderstanding."
When Sun Desheng heard this, he had no intention of continuing to write. He whispered to the guard beside him: "Inform the artillery and take this opportunity to shoot the son of a bitch in the direction of Guo Wenju!"
"yes!"
Then four artillery shells flew towards the wall where Guo Wenju was standing. In an instant, the area was enveloped in flames.
At first glance, the fuss was not small, but since it was a test firing, Guo Wenju was not affected by the explosion of the shell.
But Guo Wenju, a mere country rich man, had never seen such a scene in the past few decades. The deafening explosion sound was like a heavy drum beating hard on his heart.
I saw Guo Wenju's body slowly slumped to the ground, his left hand trying his best to grasp the arm of the person who was about to run away, his right hand covering his chest, and he stuttered: "My heart..."
Before he finished speaking, he died immediately and was frightened to death.
When the people around him saw this, they tremblingly tested their breath with their fingers, and then shouted: "The master is dead, the master is dead!"
In a blink of an eye, he looked at the surrounding walls and saw that apart from himself, there was no sign of the security team.
With an explosion, the shell hit the main entrance of the village, and the wooden door burst in the explosion. More than a hundred soldiers from a company took advantage of the situation and rushed in.
"Commissar, let's go, the battle is over!" Sun Desheng said with a smile.
"These cannonballs are a bit wasted. How come these expensive cannonballs are used on a bunch of rabble?" Qin Fuwen said regretfully.
"Cannonballs are not as valuable as the lives of soldiers. This is what our ** has always advocated!"
"Political Commissar, when you first came here, you didn't know that when you were still in the Tainan Military Region, the artillery troops directly under the military region were firing artillery shells. Where are we now? You will get used to it in the future!" Sun Desheng said.
The cavalry regiment stormed into the village, and including the time spent talking between the two sides, it took less than five minutes in total.
The village was in chaos. With the active cooperation of the security team, the soldiers successfully confiscated weapons and equipment and then calmed the ordinary people in the village.
