For what i know so far, Engineer Brigades help crossing rivers and reducing disorganisation, is it necessary every infantry division needed to attach Engineer Brigades before crossing river and how it is works? Thank you.

Engineers have several effects- all are applied to the division it is attached to, and to no others.
1. River crossing, penalty reduced by 20%
2. Speed +0.5 or +1, depending upon the version (Note: A corps moves at the speed of its slowest unit!)
3. Modest defensiveness and toughness increase. Which will lower org and strength losses by a minimal amount.
Let say i have 7 infantry division under one general control, but i need to cross river to make an attack, do i need to attach every infantry with Engineer Brigades?

No, but only those divisision that have an engineer brigade get the reduced river crossing penalty. Other divisions will fight with full penalty.
Nevetheless, it is generally good to group divisions with engineer brigades together: as pointed above the corps move at speed of the slowest division in the corps, so if you are mixing engineer brigades with other brigades or unbrigaded infantry you are fortfeiting your speed bonus.
No, every single division will have calculated their combat efficency for itself. Those who have ENGs will have reduced penalty, while those who have no ENGs will suffer from the full river crossing penalty.hendry79 said:
If you want the bonus speed, every div has to get an ENG brigade - iirc...
