The Military Investigation Section under the leadership of Luo Mazi, this is an out-and-out intelligence agency, which seems to be hung with the word military, but in fact the section is actually directly hung under the Marshal's Office, and does not belong to the Army Command, nor to the Navy Command, nor to other civilian departments, but is directly under the jurisdiction of the Adjutant Office of the Marshal's Office.

The main business of the bureau is internal affairs investigation, and the supervision of military generals and civilian officials is mainly concerned, and as for military intelligence, it is only incidental.

Generally speaking, professional sources of military intelligence are actually the responsibility of the military itself.

After the establishment of the Unified Marshal's Office, the intelligence department was separated from the General Staff and was not under the jurisdiction of the army, but was divided into an independent organization, renamed the Military Intelligence Bureau, under the direct jurisdiction of Lin Ziran, and was responsible for all military intelligence affairs with foreign affairs, including army and navy intelligence.

The Military Investigation Section, which also has a military name, keeps its eyes open and stares at the civil and military officials in the Daheng unified army system, preventing them from rebelling and the like, and rarely participates in the military intelligence of experts.

Because of the special things he did, although Luo Mazi withdrew from the military affairs system, his status in the system of the Daheng Unification Army was still not bad.

Luo Mazi's transformation, the transformation of the royal road, in fact, can also be seen that after the rapid expansion of the Daheng unified army, it has become more and more formal.

Relatively speaking, Wang Dajiang was still very lucky, in the wave of continuous expansion of the Daheng Unification Army, he could always keep up with Lin Ziran's pace and become one of the commanders of the nine infantry corps.

And the more so, the more cautious he is!

He is very self-aware, his military command talent is very ordinary, and he seems to have a lot of combat experience, but to tell the truth, when he has led troops to fight all these years, it is not him who actually commands the operation at all, but the staff team under his hands, and he is just a rubber stamp, and at the same time he does a good job of boosting morale and appeasing the soldiers.

But in doing so, he was actually welcomed by his subordinates.

Especially the staff team under his command, all of them are proud of the son of heaven and very arrogant, if Wang Dajiang often points fingers, people will directly throw their hands and apply for transfer.

However, Wang Dajiang respected and listened to their opinions very much, which made them very satisfied, and when formulating the battle plan, they were even more attentive.

Wang Dajiang was able to follow Lin Ziran without falling behind, also because of his personality!

Now in the face of the enemy's frequent tentative attacks, Wang Dajiang also feels the danger, and the more this time, the more he can calm down and will not give some random orders.

Instead, they will make gradual adjustments based on the advice given by the staff team under them.

According to the order of the command of the Third Army Corps, all units of the Third Army entered a state of combat readiness one after another, especially the main forces of the three major ferries, which entered a state of imminent battle.

Sure enough, the combined forces of Jingzhou, Gaoqingzhou, and Ningwuzhou on the opposite side forcibly crossed the river three days later at a place about ten kilometers north of the Leishi ferry after launching several tentative attacks!

The 10th Division stationed in the vicinity of the Leishi Ferry made an urgent report, saying that it had found that the size of the enemy troops crossing the river was at least tens of thousands!

After discovering that the enemy had crossed the river on a large scale, the 10th Division sent troops to meet it directly and intercepted it on the beachhead.

A fierce battle begins!

But this was not the end, in the afternoon of the same day, the enemy began to force the river in front of the Leishi Ferry, and the scale of the river crossing reached more than 50,000 people.

This means that the total number of troops invested by the other side is already more than 60,000 people.

The strength of the Daheng Unified Army, which defended the Leishi Ferry and the side of the northern front, had only one 10th Division, and in terms of strength, the 10th Division was at a disadvantage.

However, since the Third Army dared to place only one infantry division here, it naturally had a reason, not only because there was sufficient artillery support here, but also because the Fourth Cavalry Division in the rear could also support it at any time.

As the defending side, despite being inferior in numbers, the 10th Division actually had a geographical advantage and a firepower advantage.

Although the Leishi Ferry of the Mihe River is a natural ferry, it is relatively easy to cross the river, but it is also a river, and if you want to cross the river, you still need all kinds of tools to cross the river, and the 10th Division can build a defensive line on the other side of the river and directly block the beachhead with firepower.

Now is not the era of cold weapons in ancient times, or even the era of smoothbore guns, but belongs to the era of rifled guns, rifled artillery is enough to cover a range of several kilometers, not only the beachhead, but even the other side of the river can be completely covered.

Even rifle fire is capable of covering the entire beachhead, and even striking at enemy troops who are crossing the river.

In this case, even if the enemy has the advantage in strength and constantly launches attacks to cross the river, it is still very difficult to break through the defense of the 10th Division.

But then again, even if it's difficult, it's easier than crossing the river in other places, or taking a detour.

This is also the reason why the three-state coalition forces on the other side of the river still chose to forcibly cross the river at the Leishi Ferry.

However, after two attempts to cross the river, they gave up again.

This is because in the first two attempts to cross the river, they have already lost thousands of people, and many of them have already been shelled when they are still on their own beachheads, and after they officially crossed the river, they have been directly killed or injured by artillery shelling and even rifle fire.

They managed to cross the other side of the river, and when they reached the beachhead, they were again killed and injured by intensive beachhead fire.

It didn't take long for the beachhead to be covered with blood!

This situation shocked the generals of the three-state coalition army on the other side.

The casualty rate was too great, and the vanguard of the first wave of more than 2,000 people and the second wave of more than 3,000 people, adding up to nearly 5,000 people, rushed to the beachhead on the other side of the river, and these 3,000 people could not support it at all under the dense beachhead fire, and they were all suppressed on the empty beachhead and could not move, and finally were killed and injured by the constantly falling shells and flying bullets.

Half an hour ago, the 3,000 people who landed were basically killed or wounded, and the rest either raised the white flag or scrambled to climb back onto the bamboo rafts and try to escape and return to the opposite bank.

The first 5,000-strong forward troops did not play the role they expected to gain a foothold on the beachhead and cover the crossing of the river by the follow-up troops.1

This attempt to cross the river was a complete failure!

After the defeat, the opponent did not continue to try a second time, and according to the firepower density of the defending troops of the 10th Division opposite, they could not resist at all.

Of course, the solution is not impossible, that is, they themselves have a large number of breech-loading rifled guns, and completely suppress the 10th Division in artillery.

But it's a pity!

Although they are also equipped with some rear-loading rifled guns, the overall number is still relatively small, and they cannot resist the artillery superiority of the Daheng unified army.
