It's not just a pot of drinks. If the battalion commanders of the 48th Regiment knew that Chen Bing was the main force of the 47th Infantry Regiment of the 6th Division, he might have looked even more serious. If it were placed in the field, the main infantry regiment of this Black Hawk Army's main division was with the entire 43rd Army, and there would probably be no big problem.

In fact, the estimated number of commanders of the Kingdom side is fine. The 47th Infantry Regiment was indeed the 1st and 2nd infantry brigades under his command, but they were also the 6th Engineer Regiment, which was sent by the 6th Division to build a floating bridge. The Black Hawk Army alone had nearly 3,000 troops, almost twice that of the 48th Regiment.

According to common sense, the Black Hawk Army is new to the scene and is not very familiar with the terrain. It either sends planes to investigate nearby, or sends a reconnaissance team to cross the river or raises balloons. Therefore, from the moment the Black Hawk Army arrived, Xie Yunsheng issued a warning to the entire regiment and ready to fight at any time.

Perhaps God blessed, the weather was good yesterday, and the sun was still coming out in the morning, but since about 10 o'clock in the morning, the continuous rain in late autumn in the south began again. The rain was not heavy and there was no wind, but it was extremely cold, and the sight was not very good. Even if you look over from the high river bank, you can't see the movements of the Black Hawk Army clearly. Especially for the officers and soldiers lying in the trenches, this feeling of wetness and coldness would be really bad. If everyone hadn't had the straw hat and straw raincoat when they left Qiu Tongzhou, they would have been soaked.

However, although it is very uncomfortable for defensive operations, the weather is excellent. The reason why Xie Yunsheng ordered the entire regiment to enter combat at any time is that in such weather, the planes and balloons of the Black Hawk Army will basically not take off. If the Black Hawk Army wants to investigate, it will definitely send a reconnaissance team to cross the river in a small boat.

Then, we can't let it go. The 48th Regiment of the Black Hawk Army in the brigade cannot win. Do dozens of people come to the front of more than 1,000 people, that's the same as delivering vegetables? You have to eat first. Anyway, the blocking position will be known by the Black Hawk Army sooner or later. Why isn't it just a tough one? Qiu Tongren's extremely optimistic attitude towards life is reflected in the colonel commander.

The Army Colonel was right, but the Black Hawk Army did not send a reconnaissance team to cross the river first as he thought. Instead, he couldn't wait to start a large-scale crossing of the river by the river. His eager look was like an old bachelor who had been forty or fifty years married a new wife. He didn't even bother to blow the light and took off his pants first when he entered the bridal chamber.

This made Xie Yunsheng, who ran directly to the shore with a telescope to observe the enemy situation, was confused. He started crossing the river without investigation? The Black Hawk Empire people did not play according to the routine!

In fact, Colonel Qu, the commander of the 47th Infantry Regiment, did not want to play by the routine. He really didn't have much time left. To be precise, his more eager division commander left him with less than a long time. Originally, he could have arrived in less than 4 hours as planned. But he knew that when it rained in this broken place, the road would be extremely muddy, and the wheels were often stuck in the mud and could not move, which led to his mechanization that almost couldn't catch up with the speed of the infantry's legs.

By contacting the rear, we knew that the main force was already 20 kilometers behind. If the main force arrived and he and the engineer corps had not yet set up the pontoon bridge, the Black Hawk Colonel almost knew what his face would be like. He was beaten by Lieutenant General Ding Beiwei.

The famous reputation of Ding Beiwei, a short-legged fat man, was not only circulated among the civilians of the Kingdom, but also in the 6th Division. He was also the one who heard about it, and the colonel-level officer made a mistake and was not ashamed to serve him at all.

Since Wen Ziyin, the commander of the 10th Army, decided to fight the battle plan. Before the main force of the 6th Division had been fully landed, Ding Beiwei couldn't wait to issue an order to let a main infantry corps under his command take the car of the baggage corps with the 6th Engineer Regiment to advance towards Huangsucheng. He even used Wen Ziyin's banner to recruit 150 trucks from the baggage corps renovated in Ashui Port. He planned to cross the Jiafu River and encircle Huangsucheng as soon as he arrived at dusk.

For Ding Beiwei at this time, he had already learned about the information of the defenders of the Kingdom Fang from the Haicheng Expeditionary Army. An infantry division with less than 10,000 people was not a problem to defend Huangsucheng, but the two infantry divisions and an infantry regiment that were supporting Huangsucheng in two directions were the biggest concerns.

Of course, with Ding Beiwei's arrogant arrogance, he did not take Liu Lang's infantry regiment and the 67th Army of the Kingdom too seriously, but he was eager to establish greater merits to cut off the retreat of hundreds of thousands of kingdom troops in the Haicheng War Zone, so he naturally could not get involved with the kingdom people in a small place in Huangsucheng.

Then we must conquer Huangsu City as fast as possible. When the reinforcements of the kingdom arrived, not only Huangsu City had already become a ruin, but hundreds of thousands of kingdom troops also became turtles in the jar and were doomed. Everyone came to be a meat bun and beat the dog and never returned.

If, according to common sense, the Black Hawk Army at this time did not understand the terrain on the other side of the Jiafu River and the defense conditions of the defenders, and all preparations were not sufficient. The Black Hawk Army should spend at least one afternoon on reconnaissance and preparation. Then, it began to cross the river around dusk. However, before departure, Ding Beiwei issued a strict order to Colonel Qu Zhe, the 47th Infantry Regiment, who was in charge of command. If the main force could not be built before the main force arrived, the two main officers of the Infantry Regiment and the Engineer Regiment would have to be engaged in military law.

You said that the main force has arrived in three or four hours, but I am still wandering around the other side of the Jiafu River. How can the two Black Hawk Colonels not be in a hurry? They also spent a few hours to investigate Dandan’s investigation!

As for whether there will be kingdoms here, is it more than right? There must be! However, the threat of kingdoms is not within the consideration of the captain of the main infantry regiment of the Sixth Division, the strongest division on the surface of the Black Hawk Empire. Four 75 mountain cannons, four 70mm infantry cannons that had been deployed five hundred meters behind the river bank, four 70mm infantry cannons and more than 20 heavy machine guns will definitely destroy the attempt of small kingdom troops to ashes.

The possibility of whether the kingdoms send heavy troops to fight and block the riverside has been basically excluded by the colonel commander of the Black Hawk Army. As long as the kingdoms are not stupid, they will never choose to fight against such a huge force in the field after they learn about the information. They may be able to resist for a while with a period of time with the city wall fortifications, but in the field, once the division artillery gang arrives, 36 75mm field cannons and 12 105mm howitzers can directly send the ignorant Kingdom Infantry Division to hell.

After all, the reason why the Black Hawk Army, led by Colonel Qu, did not play according to common sense is that time is tight, and most importantly, it is that like his boss, he is too arrogant and invincible all the way in the north, so he really regards himself as the strongest division on the surface.

The 47th Regiment and the Engineer Regiment combat staff studied the map of Jiafu River in Huangsucheng, and then combined the actual situation on the battlefield to directly talk about "paper talk". They decided to use the 1st Infantry Battalion to be assigned to the 6th Engineer Regiment, and at about 2:50, they used folding boats to cross the Jiafu River. The 2nd Infantry Battalion and the two original artillery squadrons responsible for cover and the artillery squadrons directly under the wing as the second echelon. They first crossed the river on the narrowest river surface with the first echelon, defeated the kingdom's small harassing troops, and then established a field position. The 6th Engineer Regiment built a bridge to cross the vehicles and horses and the second echelon, and covered the main force who arrived later.

The combat plan of the staff who formulated the combat plan in the territory map was perfect. After all, in their eyes, the Black Hawk Imperial Army was invincible, let alone the strongest division on the surface! Even if they knew that there was a completely established kingdom infantry regiment hidden on the bank opposite the river.

Being arrogant is not a bad thing, but being arrogant is a life-threatening one. Not to mention the error in estimating the enemy's troops, just relying on the map to see the terrain, you will make a fatal mistake.

In fact, the Black Hawk Army is not without actual reconnaissance.

After receiving the order to cross the river, the First Infantry Brigade sent three reconnaissance teams to the riverside to find a suitable ferry and find out the defense situation of the defenders on the other side. At around 2:10, the team led by Captain Liao, the 3rd Squadron leader of the First Infantry Brigade, lying in the reeds and using a telescope to observe the situation on the other side. Because the weather was too bad at this time, and because of the drizzle and mist on the river, like the kingdom commander who was spying on the riverside, both sides could not have a clear observation of the specific situation on the other side.

At first, they saw that the other side was almost all cliffs several meters high. Just when they were very disappointed, they suddenly found that there was a place on the other side that was flat sand. Moreover, the river section was very narrow, with a river width of only about 300 meters. Captain Liao thought that the sand was a very ideal landing place, so he went back to report to the corps leader Colonel Qu and suggested landing in that sand.

In fact, although Qu Zhe was arrogant, he was never stupid. Naturally, he would not just listen to the results of one group of investigations. He would conduct a comprehensive analysis based on the results of three groups of investigations, otherwise he would not risk violating military orders to set the first echelon's battle time to 50 minutes later.

Soon, two other reconnaissance teams returned one after another. Among them, the team led by Lieutenant Maruhiro from the 4th Squadron of the 43rd Infantry Regiment was the most conscientious. He still carried a folding boat to try to cross the river to obtain the most detailed information. However, as soon as he arrived at the center of the river, there was a more excited machine gunman on the 48th Regiment who suddenly tightened his hand and pulled the trigger and fired a shuttle bullet at them. As a result, more than a dozen rifles fired together, but the bullets flying by the folding boat scared the "duty-serious" young lieutenant. He saw nothing and returned immediately, and fully agreed with Captain Liao's opinion.

To put it bluntly, if you don’t see clearly at this time, you have to say that you can see clearly, otherwise you will be beaten? Although the second lieutenant of the Black Hawk Army is very young, he still has this kind of awareness.

The team led by Lieutenant Akimoto, who came back from the 47th Regiment, found a high ground to look forward in a standing position, with a clear vision, so Akimoto judged that the sand was actually a sandbank in the river. However, he wanted to cross the river quickly, but the majority and the minority were the majority, so Qu Zhe decided to land on the sand.

So, 40 minutes later, the army colonel hiding in the reeds on the bank of the river with a telescope, opened his mouth wide, and looked at the Black Hawks forward who were crossing the river in disbelief as if he was looking at a group of fools.
