Vol 4 Chapter 67: ,meet by chance

The second bombing has just passed, and the third bombing has come again. Now the Italians are too lazy to rescue the fire, and they are hiding under the bunkers they think are safe.
The unfortunate Italian navy major general George Fusser, when directing the fire, was unfortunately affected by the second round of bombing. But he was lucky, just scratched a little skin, and then passed out happily.
的 The Italians who do not have the highest commander at the scene will naturally not move.
Of course, Taranto cannot have only a commander of Georges Messer. In fact, there are still many generals in the Taranto Navy at this time, but everyone is unwilling to come out and take responsibility!
Do you want to turn the tide? This is built on the premise of success. Now the naval warships, shipyards, material storage warehouses, and turrets have been patronized by the Bulgarian Air Force. The planes in the sky cannot be hit, and the damage can't be restored. What can they do?
The waiting time is long. The bombing of the Bulgarian Air Force started from the first round to the end of the third round, but it was only a short period of three or four hours. But for the Italians below, this is already a good year!
完成 The successful completion of the bombing mission, the Bulgarian Air Force returned happily, leaving a mess at the scene, the blazing fire was still burning, and the wounded warship continued to sink. Everyone knows that Taranto is finished!
After a morning bombing of more than two hundred tons of bombs, on average, the port received three or four kilograms of bombs per square meter. Without a dozen or twenty years, don't want to restore vitality.
After more than two hours of bombardment, the Italians finally determined their safety and walked out of the bunkers. At this time, the fire had spread from the port to the city, and they had to come out to extinguish the fire!
The Italian naval officers pretending to be ostriches also came out to clean up the mess, while organizing fire fighting and counting losses, and reporting the situation to the Roman government.
Will things end so easily? Obviously this is impossible. As early as the air force was dispatched, the Bulgarian Navy also set off from Kofu Island.
连 Even the other French fleets of Malaysia were dispatched. Although the French did not think that the Bulgarian air strikes could be of much effect, they hoped that they would still act.
For confidentiality, Ferdinand notified the French one hour before the operation began, so the French fleet has just set off.
Received the news of the success of the air strike, the French fleet commander Darren immediately ordered all battlecruisers in the fleet to go one step ahead and implement a closed dog program with the Bulgarian Navy.
There was no satellite monitoring in this era. Even if the warships are finished, it will take time to sink. Obviously, the Air Force has no time to wait for the Italian warships to sink. The only thing that can be sure is that all Italian battleships have been visited.
This is enough, at least it can be determined that the Italian navy has been vitally injured. After all, it is a bomb of several hundred kilograms. Even if it falls from the sky, it can smash the deck out of a pit!
After the puppet air strike, the Bulgarian Navy was not far away from Taranto. There were five intrepid ships plus four coastal defense battleships and a bunch of cruisers and destroyers. The entire fleet totaled more than 120 warships.
Puppet directed the operation by Bulgarian Rear Admiral Pert Ivanov, who was also the captain of the flagship Emperor.
The Great Emperor has just joined the Bulgarian Navy in early 1915. It is undoubtedly a super intrepid ship. The specific parameters are as follows:
Displacement: 28950 tons / full load displacement: 32520 tons
Size: 196 meters long / 27.3 meters wide
Draft: 9.1 meters
Power: 24 boilers
Host power 75000 horsepower, 4 axes
Speed: 25 knots
Endurance: 4,600 nautical miles / 12.5 knots
Wu Wubei: 8 dual 15-inch / 42-times main guns, 12 6-inch / 45-times secondary guns, 2 76-mm guns, 4 4-inch anti-aircraft guns, and eight 40-mm anti-aircraft guns
Armored armor: 13 inches of side armor, 2.5-5 inches of main deck, 13 inches of turret (front), 5 inches of (top), 10 inches of gun base, and 11 inches of command tower. The total armor weight is 8,100 tons.
Fleet crew: 1015
This is already the full strength of the Bulgarian Navy. If it is hit hard, you can declare World War I and the Bulgarian Navy can only play soy sauce!
Barely considered a gamble, if this time you can successfully kill the Italian Navy, then the Bulgarian Navy will make a qualitative breakthrough, and Bulgaria will become a naval power!
Conversely, Ferdinand can give up the navy, and honestly develop the army and air force!
The Italians didn't know that the danger was approaching, and they were busy organizing manpower to put out the fire and repair the warship.
After all, many warships that have been seriously injured must be rescued immediately, or they may be changed from severe injuries to death.
I watched a ship sink continuously, at this time the heart of the Italian navy commander Count Abruzzi sank to the bottom. He knew that the Italian navy had suffered a great loss this time.
Although the specific losses have not yet been calculated, at a glance, more than double-digit warships have disappeared, and more importantly, two fearless ships have also disappeared into his sight!
The Italian Navy paid the price of blood for their thin leather armor, but the two Dreadnoughts, Dante Alligri and Count Garfurt, sank neatly.
There is no way, who is called the fearless ship is the focus of the Bulgarian Air Force?
An unpredictable hunch emerged in Count Abruzzi's mind. Is the Bulgarian Air Force coming over to bomb?
He is a navy. I do n’t know that after an aircraft of this era completed a bombing, it had to undergo an overhaul before it could continue its operations.
"Now I order that all warships that can go to sea set sail for Palermo!" Count Abrucci said solemnly
"Yes!" After a young officer spoke, he went on to give the order.
Everyone knows that the port of Taranto is no longer suitable for the Italian Navy. Who knows when the Bulgarian aircraft will come over again and continue to drop bombs on their heads?
Uh ...
It's too late for the Italians to start! When the Italian Navy left the port, the Bulgarian Navy had come to block the door.
There is no way, Kofu Island is not far from Taranto, and it is not a joke!
It was useless for the Italians to respond quickly. They were attacked by airstrikes in the early morning and did not end until noon.
I was afraid that Count Abruzzi issued an order in the shortest time. After the Italian navy organized it and inspected the warship, it was still late in the evening after adding some supplies during the panic.
At this moment, the Bulgarian Navy was waiting outside. Under the cover of the night, even if the two sides were only two or thirty nautical miles apart, the Italian still did not know that the enemy had come under the eye.
"Apply for the general, this is our preliminary statistical loss situation." In the evening, an officer submitted a list of losses to Count Abrucci.
Of course, this is limited to the statistics of the loss of naval warships and the loss of officers and men in active service.
无 Two fearless ships, five cruisers and a dozen old warships sank, including an old battleship. The remaining large warships were all wounded, and less than half of the warships were able to leave the port, including a fearless ship that was badly damaged and could not leave the port!
There are 2,846 casualties in active duty navy officers and soldiers, and 876 deaths have been determined. Logistics personnel casualties have not yet been counted, and this number will not be small now.
Received the casualty report, and Count Abrucci's mood was even worse, which meant that the main force of the Italian navy had lost a third at the beginning of the war!
"Can't wait any longer!" If the bombardment last time, the main force of the Italian navy will be all over! Count Abruzzi knew that even if he left now, he would only be able to keep the ships on the fourth floor of the port of Taranto. As for the rest, he would be left to fate!
But he had to go, and the port of Taranto brought together more than 80% of the Italian navy's main force, including the fleet withdrawn from Tripoli.
The army may be wiped out if you stay, now you can keep at least half of the main force in the kingdom! He has no illusions about Italian air defense capabilities!
Whether it is an anti-aircraft artillery or an anti-aircraft machine gun, it cannot be developed in one or two days and equipped for service!
In order to hurry, Count Abruzzi decided to take the fleet to leave overnight, anyway, it is Italy's offshore, everyone is familiar with the road conditions, there is nothing to worry about.
Otherwise, if the Bulgarian Air Force visits again tomorrow, the Italian navy will really be completely over!
Of course, Ferdinand of Italy did not know the loss, otherwise he would not ask the French for help.
After all, killing the main force of the Italian navy alone, enjoying this glory alone is very valuable to Bulgaria, which is very beneficial to the distribution of post-war benefits!
History has no if! As the Italians did not understand the truth of the Italians, for security reasons, the Bulgarian navy stayed in the port of Taranto twenty nautical miles away, waiting for the arrival of the French navy.
In the dark night, the two fleets collided together. When the enemy was discovered, the distance between the two sides was only six or seven nautical miles.
"General attack!"
Pelt-Ivanlov was taken aback ~ EbookFREE.me ~ He thought that the Italians had discovered their existence and was ready to start first.
But soon he calmed down. If the Italians found them in advance, it should be started during the day, night battles are not so good!
To a large extent, it depends on the luck of both sides. Even if the Italian navy is more powerful, there is a great possibility that it will result in both defeats.
It is very likely that the Italians wanted to run away. After all, they were just bombed in the daytime. If they do n’t run now, stay and wait for the bombing?
Judging the initial purpose of the enemy, Major General Pert-Ivanov also determined that the Italians must have suffered heavy losses, otherwise they would not be so anxious to run away!
"Command the fleet to fight!" Pert-Ivanov calmly ordered
Uh ...
Now that the Italians have been discovered by the Bulgarian Navy, naturally the Italians will also find them, but Count Abruch has not been able to determine who the enemy is and how big it is!
This is another life and death choice for Count Abruzzi. If it is the main fleet of the Allies outside, then it is already a semi-disabled Italian navy. the best choice!
Uh ...
