Chapter 476 (1/2)
The first division crossed the river not far downstream of the confluence of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers.
With the southern and Eastern expeditions of the explosive bear brigades in the past two years, this large area to the east of the Mihe River and the south of the ohe river is now basically controlled by the Cherokee people.
Now, with all the officers and men of the first division of the stormy bear Army crossing the Mississippi River, the western expedition plan made by the stone bear himself began.
Across the river, there used to be a small Missouri tribe with a small population of more than 200 people, mainly fishing and hunting.
When the soldiers of the first division began to cross the river to build a floating bridge, the small tribe ran away early. Even though it was a little cold at that time, the little tribe did not dare to stay here
The soldiers of the first division soon crossed the wide Mississippi River and began to build barracks with the help of the thatched houses left by the small tribe.
This will be the base camp of the western expedition of the fierce bear army. The ”big manager” Kuangshi, who is responsible for the logistics of the whole western expedition, will be here to take care of the huge logistics materials for the whole western expedition.
Speaking of the old lion, the stone bear is also very helpless.
As the leader of Honghe tribe, one of the top ten tribes of the Cherokee people, he had to follow the western expedition after learning about the plan of the stone bear's westward expedition.
At first, Shi Xiong didn't agree, but he couldn't stand it. The old lion was too pestering, so he finally agreed. However, in view of crazy lion's age, Shi Xiong did not agree to join the offensive troops, but asked him to take charge of the logistics of the whole army in the rear.
Crazy lion very happily agreed to the stone bear's promise, but also modestly to the second division of the storm bear army commander bone spear for advice.
As early as when the expeditionary army went to the south to invade the Kerry people, bone spear was the logistics manager of the expeditionary army. For logistics, bone spear was very experienced. Moreover, the lion not only asks for advice from him, but also ”harasses” the stone bear from time to time. He has a strong desire to drive the chief away
In the following period of time, the officers and men of the first division will take the logistics camp as the center and attack in the west, North and south directions. They will drive away all the enemies in the semicircle area with a radius of about 50 km or so in more than ten days. Play a peaceful area for the brothers of the second, third and fourth divisions.
It's said that the troops and horses didn't move, but in fact, the scouts were the first to act!
These Cherokee riders, who are the most skillful, will ride their horses in advance to find out the situation in this area and beyond, and then draw a simple map for the rear commanders to make corresponding decisions.
These scouts are the eyes of the stormy bear army. The scope of their activities is as large as the scope of the stormy bear army's subsequent attack.
When the intelligence continuously gathered in the hands of bighorn sheep and Kuaima, the two top commanders and staff officers quickly made the corresponding battle plan.
The first division has three brigades and nine regiments. Each regiment has 1000 officers and soldiers. In addition to the large number of Engineering Battalion, logistics battalion and division headquarters, the number is exactly 10000.
The other eight regiments are divided into eight directions, with the rear camp as the center and attacking in a fan-shaped way.
According to the information brought back by the scouts, seven Missouri tribes and four Arkansas tribes were found in the semicircle with a radius of about 50 kilometers. Most of the Missouri tribes were in the West and North, while the Arkansas tribes were in the southwest.
