Vol 4 Chapter 66: ,bombing

After the outbreak of the World War, European countries have expressed their official documents and made a high-sounding declaration of the justice of their country's participation in the war, and buckled the war-promoting bowl on the enemy's head.
The French government chanted: "Fight to defend France"; (French: fight for revenge and regain lost ground!)
The German government declared: "Fight for the dignity of the country"; (Germans: fight for the land under the sun, for the resources and the market!)
The British government declared: "Fight for the peace of the world and the stability of Europe"; (British: Didn't you say a good peace? Why did you start fighting so quickly? Hans was too presumptuous, and he dared to ignore the British The empire’s warning must teach them a lesson!)
The Russian government declared: "Fight for the insults of the Slavic brothers by the Austro-Hungarian Empire"; (Russian: Where are the Slavic brothers? Bulgaria? It seems wrong, what happened to the Austro-Hungarian Empire? Is it true? Serbia, do they count?)
The Austro-Hungarian government declared: "The enemy is coming, take up arms to defend your country"; (Well, the national composition of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is too complicated, and each has its own plans. Some people want to expand their territory, and some people want a nation. Independence. In general, can you wait? We are not ready yet!)
The Italian government declared: "The enemy has declared war, and we are forced to fight"; (Italian: We didn't do anything? Is it because we are an ally, we have to participate in the war? Damn the three-nation alliance, labor and capital really don't want to go. fight!)
The Ottoman government chanted: "~~Jihad, recapture Constantinople"; (Turk: Revenge, show the Russians and Bulgarians a little bit of color, let them learn about the awesomeness of ~~~! Arabs: It doesn’t matter, just fight if you want! Other ethnic minorities: the opportunity for independence is coming!)
The Romanian government declared: "Fight to regain lost ground"; (Romanians: Bulgarians are so fierce! Bears are so fierce! Why are we caught in the middle? This is not fair!)
The Kingdom of Montenegro declared: "Fight for the defense of the family and the country"; (Montenegro: I don’t want to fight Bulgaria. If I want to fight, I will fight the Austro-Hungarian Empire to seize Serbia. We want to establish the Great Montenegro Kingdom!)
The governments of all countries participating in the war have their own reasons for participating in the war, and Bulgaria is no exception. The second Balkan War is the best excuse. The "Anti-Protection League" all joined the alliance except for Greece, which is already dead.
The Bulgarian government’s reason for participating in the war is naturally: "Fight for national security"!
This reason is very powerful, at least the Bulgarians believe it, or it is: "Fight for the land and military merits!"
...
While the governments of various countries are fighting propaganda wars, the war has also started in full swing.
The Germans and the French have already begun to pk head-on. The blood of millions of troops on the German-French border is flowing into rivers; the eastern bear and the Germans are fighting in three directions; the Balkans Bulgaria is attacking Belgrade, and the Kingdom of Montenegro is attacking Bulgaria. .
The hard-pressed Romania is preparing to take one out of two. The Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen dynasty, which has just succeeded to the throne, Ferdinand has not yet taken the initiative to attack.
Although the world war has begun, the climax has not arrived. In addition to preparing Bulgaria in advance, all countries are still carrying out the final mobilization work.
Therefore, the Italians pressed hard. As a member of the Allied Powers, Italy was also prepared in advance, but they were all defending against the French attack.
As Taranto is completely at the rear, does he need defense? With the strength of the Italian navy and the shore artillery in the port, even if all the Allied Mediterranean fleets are pulled over, everyone can lose out. Apart from stockpiling a batch of ammunition, what else needs to be prepared?
In the early morning of March 9th, the Italians just woke up from their sleep and had not had time to enjoy a delicious breakfast. There was a roar in the sky and a group of "big birds" whizzed past.
The tranquility of Port Taranto was broken, a tongue of flame was ejected from the sky, and the Italian navy soldiers who were doing morning exercises fell down.
That's right, it is the Falcon 1st generation fighter of the Bulgarian Air Force that opened the way, which was designed by the famous Anthony Fokker.
In history, this young aircraft designer had never met this young aircraft designer. After the outbreak of the World War, the British offered him a sky-high price of 10 million U.S. dollars, but it was destroyed by the German intelligence organization. He himself only learned about it after the end of the war.
Of course, before the outbreak of the World War, aircraft designers did not receive much attention. This time and space is no exception. Anthony Fokker accepted Ferdinand's olive branch at his most desperate time.
The Falcon 1st generation fighter is a single-wing fighter, an improved version of the famous Fokker e.3 fighter!
After all, it was created temporarily after the war broke out in history, and the first generation of Falcon has been improved for two years, and its performance has been greatly improved.

Obviously it is a fighter plane, but its ammunition capacity has caught up with ordinary bombers. Ferdinand didn't bother to ask what was going on, but now it could not be better used to lead the battle.
After a round of machine gun fire at a height of 100 meters, the Italians were completely plunged into chaos, and anti-aircraft firepower did not exist.
Due to the different degrees of the planes, even if they take off at the same time, the fighters still have to reach their destination ten minutes before the bombers.
As a result, the first generation of Falcons launched the first round of attacks. Because the Italians did not have air defense firepower, the Bulgarian Air Force maintained an attack at a height of more than 100 meters.
Obviously, the target of this battle is not these naval soldiers, they are only incidental. The main target is the Italian navy ship in Taranto port. The attack on the crowd is mainly to disturb the order.
Facts have proved that this time the Bulgarian Air Force started very smoothly. For the first time, it faced a threat from the sky. The Italians below had completely lost their organization and became a mess.
Immediately afterwards, everyone unanimously aimed at the warships in the harbor and started dropping bombs.
Of course, even if it is a fixed target with a height of only 100 meters, the hit rate in the high flight of the aircraft is not very good.
But that’s okay. There are enough Italian naval ships in the Taranto port, and they are not far apart. You can hit another ship without hitting one. This is much more accurate than a night sneak attack!
As for the Italian's reaction, it is naturally in a state of being forced to fight back and there is no one in hand!
Shooting down the plane with a rifle, this only exists in the anti-Japanese drama, and there is not much difference between it and the tearing plane, it does not exist in the real situation!
According to incomplete statistics, the probability of shooting down a plane with a rifle is lower than the probability of a plane falling from the sky by itself!
As for shooting down planes with heavy machine guns and light machine guns, it's even more nonsense. Point your muzzle to the sky and don't worry about jamming or bombing! Otherwise, why bother to produce a special anti-aircraft machine gun?
The bombing time soon ended. After a loud noise, a mess was left. The pilots didn't care about counting the results, so they continued to shoot into the crowd with machine guns.
A few minutes later, the bombers also roared in. They were the main force in this attack. The main purpose of the fighters was to disrupt the order and prevent the Italians from organizing and driving away the warship.
Unlike fighter attacks, the bomber's strength was much greater, and the hit rate was also significantly improved. Hundreds of tons of bombs were dumped in the Italian naval port, and a large number of warships were hit.
A warship began to sink at a level visible to the naked eye. After the bombing was completed, the bombers began to return, and the fighters continued to create chaos.
The Italians also began to organize a counterattack with no strength. UU Read www.uukanshu.com didn't know which idiot gave the order, but thought that the airship could deal with the plane, and then there was no more!
Whether it is an Italian plane or an airship, they have just contributed a new record to the Bulgarian Air Force!
Using reconnaissance aircraft to deal with fighter jets and airships against fighter jets can only be said to be the Italians who are in desperate illness.
However, Major General Georgius Messer on duty in the Italian navy was powerless and had to make a final effort. Although it may be in vain, he had to be a horse doctor in the face of the crisis!
When the bombers were all evacuated, the fighter jets also began to retreat. There is no way that the explosive power of this era is limited.
The theoretical endurance of the Falcon 1st generation is 4 hours. In fact, this time also takes into account the time of take-off and landing. From the beginning to the evacuation, more than two hours have passed. If you don't retreat, it will be a big trouble!
Airplanes of this era can't land on the water. If you have to try it, you don't have to doubt that it will sink to the bottom!
After the first round of bombing was over, Major General Georgiev Messer immediately organized manpower to start fighting the fire. Unfortunately, the second round of bombing was inoculated again. The Italian Navy, which had not had time to organize, became chaotic again, and the chaotic crowd was running around. Look for a shelter to escape the bombing.
Fortunately, the target of the Bulgarian Air Force is not theirs. The target of this bombing is no longer just warships in the port. After the first round of bombing, the Italian Navy has suffered heavy losses.
This time, apart from dividing half of the planes to continue bombing warships, others have set their targets on the gun emplacements and shipyards to destroy the Italians’ naval war potential as much as possible. This is also the main purpose of this battle!
