Vol 4 Chapter 71: , The end of phase 1

Ascending to the 6th operation went smoothly. As Taranto is the base camp of the Italian Navy, the navy is naturally responsible for defense work.
The Sea 6 dispute exists in every country, and Italy is no exception. What's more, Italy is still a country dominated by the navy. How can the safety of the navy’s nest be left to the 6 army horse dung?
It has always been the rear of Italy. Taranto has not experienced a war for decades. In addition to the garrison belonging to the navy, there are also temporary militias.
There is no doubt that they are all dregs with a combat power of less than five, and the hapless Major General George Messer has once again become the commander.
No way, who called Georgiev Messer happened to encounter a surprise attack by the Bulgarian Air Force when he was on duty?
He must carry this pot on his back, and the "experts" will certainly find a series of evidence afterwards, proving that his command errors caused the navy's heavy losses. &1t;i>&1t;/i>
If he can repel the enemy, he will be fine for his crimes; otherwise, he will be crowned as Italy's new stupid general!
The previous record holder was the guy who was defeated in Ethiopia. Georgie Messer is expected to go hand in hand with him, and a member of the 6th Army and a navy member just makes up a pair.
But that’s okay. The record is used to break. The Italian 6th Army did a good job in this regard. He doesn’t have to worry about being alone!
For defending Taranto, Georgieve Messer has no idea at all, mainly because the guys in the sky are too annoying and can only be beaten and cannot fight back.
In order to deal with the Bulgarian aircraft, Georgiev Messer also tried his best to conduct air defense. Unfortunately, because of the lack of air defense weapons, all he could do was organize soldiers to shoot planes with rifles.
Of course, his results so far are still zero! But it was not without gain, at least when they fired, the enemy had to raise the flight altitude. &1t;i>&1t;/i>
In order to avoid enemy airstrikes, Georgiev Messer placed the command in an old-fashioned anti-cannon hole.
Obviously, Georgius Messer is not reconciled to the end of his military career. He is thinking about countermeasures in the command.
Now the high-ranking generals in the navy have retreated strategically, leaving only a few "young and promising" young officers to stay behind and command the Taranto defense together with him.
"It's not good, General!" a young officer exclaimed.
Georgiev Messer pretended to be calm and said: "Carus said slowly, what's the bad news? Could it be that the Bulgarians have already registered 6?"
"Yes, General! You are really good. Bulgaria just got on the dock 6 and they are now attacking the port!" Carus looked at Major General Georgiev Messer with admiration.
Georgie Messer has the heart to cry at this time. It would be a good thing if he usually expected things like a god, but now? This is the crow's mouth! &1t;i>&1t;/i>
"How many troops do we have now?" Georgiev Messer asked tremblingly.
After thinking about it, Carus said uncertainly: "There are about 13,000 more people! But you know, it also includes our more than 2,000 naval officers and more than 5,000 garrisons. , The others are a group of militias temporarily recruited."
After thinking about it, Georgie Messer smiled bitterly and said: "Order the troops to resist, orderly withdraw into the city, use the buildings in the city as bunkers, and fight the enemy!"
Corruption is always the greatest enemy of an army. As the navy's base camp, the garrison on the shore is undoubtedly the lowest rank, and naturally it cannot escape the clutches of some people.
It is commonplace to deduct a small amount of military pay and eat a few empty meals. What's worse is that their daily training is also done under the command of naval officers. &1t;i>&1t;/i>
What is the fighting power? This is really hard to be reassuring. In comparison, it is estimated that the combat effectiveness of the two thousand naval officers and soldiers may be more reassuring!
...
Facts have proved that Georgiev Messer’s choice is correct, and the Italian defenders on the front battlefield are simply not opponents of the Bulgarian Navy Team 6.
The best option is to retreat into the city and use buildings as fortifications to fight street battles. Delaying time waiting for reinforcements is the best choice. Anyway, here is the mainland of Italy, as long as a few days later, reinforcements will continue to arrive.
It's a pity that he overestimated the execution ability of the people below, and the Italian army started scrambling to run back after the retreat order. As for the continual resistance, I am sorry that these mobs do not have such high military literacy!
The stated strategic retreat turned into a defeat. Undoubtedly, the newly recruited militiamen were the first to run away. They ran back when they heard the retreat, which caused a flock of chickens and collapsed across the board. &1t;i>&1t;/i>
The first regiment of Team 6 that just boarded 6 has not figured out what's going on yet, and the enemy ran away. Although I don't know if the Italians have any conspiracy, it does not prevent them from following behind to take the position.
After boarding 6 was completed, Christo Ivanov did not start a siege at the first time. After seizing the port, he immediately ordered the control of the warship left by the Italians.
I don’t know what Italy thinks. They didn’t blow up these warships. Although they were all seriously injured, do they think that Bulgaria is not capable of repairing these warships?
When Christo Ivanov was complaining, Georgiev Messer in the city knew that it was done, but it was not because of these warships, but because the defenders had lost their minds.
As for these warships, in his opinion, they were all seriously injured, and there was no way to go to sea. When the reinforcements arrived to regain Taranto, they naturally returned to Italy. &1t;i>&1t;/i>
Christo Ivanov was worried that the Italians would blow up the warship, and Georgiev Messer was also worried that he would blow up the warship?
Now that the warship has arrived, the mission of Team 6 has been completed. As for how to get it back and repair it? That's Major General Pelt's concern. Anyway, simply fix it. As long as it doesn't sink, take it back and fix it slowly.
Major General Christo Ivanov gave an energetic order: "The mass is repaired on the spot.
The second regiment went to seize the shipyard, don't let them destroy the machinery and equipment, remember to pick out all the engineers inside, and pack their families away as much as possible!
The three regiments went to seize the warehouses near the port and counted all the valuable things for me. These are our trophies and wait for the domestic ships to send over to receive them.
The four groups stared at the enemies in the city. If they dare to show their heads, they would beat me back! &1t;i>&1t;/i>
The garrison team cleaned the battlefield for me, eliminated the remnants of the enemy, and by the way also cleaned up the suburban factories! "
Obviously they are here to rob, as for the siege? Wait for domestic orders!
The Navy 6 team only has more than 10,000 people, and it has to attack the city, control the port, and face the continuous reinforcement of the Italians. How can it be too busy?
Even if the air force has been blown up, the enemy's roads, railways, and bridges can be delayed for a few days at most. No matter how great the loss is, the Italian government must rescue Taranto for political influence!
Seeing the unscrupulous robbery by the Bulgarian army, the French Major General Winster was envious, but it was a pity that this war was fought by others!
If he wants to grab the spoils, unless he is now taking the French army to attack the city, this is obviously impossible! Use naval officers and soldiers as the 6 military, used to fight siege wars, unless his mind is flooded! &1t;i>&1t;/i>
"General Pelt, won't you participate?" Winster asked wonderingly.
As the commander of this naval battle, he did not lead anyone to participate in the robbery, which made Winster very puzzled. More importantly, the Bulgarian navy didn't disembark to the spoils, and it was even more impossible for them to go. France could not afford to lose this person!
Pelt smiled slightly and said: "This is the job of their Team 6. In this regard, they have received professional training and are better than us!
By the way, General Winster, you surrounded the Italian navy. What happened? "
In order to alleviate the atmosphere, Pert chose to change the subject. He knew that the Italians must not be able to hide from the eyes of the French when they retreated. This time, the French would definitely gain something from beating a dog in the water.
Mentioned this topic, Winster's interest suddenly rose. As one of the heroes of this war, he is about to become the captain of a dreadnought ship. &1t;i>&1t;/i>
"Not as good as you, but killed the two Italian cruisers and a destroyer, and captured a battleship!" Winster said enthusiastically.
After receiving this news, Pelt's good mood suddenly disappeared. They fought desperately for feelings, and finally made a wedding dress for France.
The Italians had only four battleships out of the siege this time. Except for one former dreadnought, the rest were dreadnoughts. There is no doubt that the dreadnoughts worthy of attention by the French are definitely dreadnoughts.
What Pelt didn't know was that if it weren't for the speed of the Italian battleships, they would have been wiped out by now.
In order to contain the Italians, the French navy was heartbroken this time. Now France has already had double-digit warships in need of overhaul.
Just to stop the Italians, they drove full horsepower, even load carrying. Now most of the power systems of these warships are scrapped and need to be replaced! &1t;i>&1t;/i>
In a short period of time, many warships in the French Navy lost their combat effectiveness, and some warships were even entrusted to return.
But compared with the results, all this is worth it! Their greatest enemy in the Mediterranean, the Italian Navy, UU Reading www.uukanshu. com dare not come out for a long time in the future.
Although Pert was a little unwilling, he still said without changing his face: "Congratulations to you, the captive is Andre Dolly, right?"
Winster nodded awkwardly, indicating acquiescence. Obviously this time the French Navy picked up a bargain, and he was embarrassed to continue showing off.
The two ended the conversation, and Pelt quickly reported the news to China.
Compared with other people's depression, Ferdinand's mood is much better. The importance of the Dreadnought is still great now. After the end of the world war, all countries will have to regain their vitality. There are so many things that it is a problem whether they can afford it?
There are now five dreadnoughts in Bulgaria. If you add the repairable dreadnoughts in the Italian port, there are six. It can't be done in the vertical and horizontal world, but it is enough to mix in the Mediterranean!
Ferdinand thought for a while and said: "The 6th Army immediately deployed two infantry divisions to reinforce Taranto, and the Logistics Department organized ships to transport all our trophies back as soon as possible.
The Air Force left a bombing regiment and a fighter group, and the rest were transferred back, ready to implement the next plan! "
In fact, now that the war has come, Taranto has basically decided the overall situation. As for the Italians huddling in the city, it is no longer a concern.
Anyway, Ferdinand did not really intend to occupy Taranto. This is the homeland of the Italians. If Bulgaria takes this place, prepare to fight them to the end!
Since Taranto cannot be turned into a homeland, then long-term occupation is meaningless. It's better to take away everything you can grab and leave a ruin for the Italians.
