Mediterranean Hegemony Road

Chapter 71, the end of the first stage

The Deng 6 operation went very smoothly. As the base camp of the Italian Navy, Taranto was naturally responsible for the defense work.

The sea-6 battle exists in every country, and Italy is no exception, not to mention that Italy is still a country dominated by the navy. How can the security of the navy's nest be handed over to the 6th army horse dung?

It has always been the rear of Italy, and Taranto has not experienced war for decades. In addition to the garrison subordinate to the navy, the defenders are also temporarily recruited militia.

There is no doubt that they are all scum with a combat power of less than five, and the hapless Major General Georgief-Messer has once again become the commander.

No way, who told Georgiev Messer to be on duty when he happened to encounter a sneak attack by the Bulgarian Air Force?

He had to carry the blame, and the experts would surely find a series of evidence afterwards, proving that it was his command error that caused the Navy to suffer heavy losses. \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

If he can repel the enemy, he will be fine if he is guilty; otherwise, he will be crowned the new dumbest general in Italy!

The previous record holder was the guy who lost the battle in Ethiopia. Georgiev - Messer is expected to be neck and neck with him, a 6th Army and a Navy just make up a pair.

But it doesn't matter, the record is to be broken. The Italian 6th Army has done a good job in this regard. He doesn't have to worry about being lonely!

Giorgio Messer doesn't have a clue about defending Taranto, mainly because the guy in the sky is so annoying, he can only be beaten and can't fight back.

In order to deal with the Bulgarian planes, Georgiev Messer also tried his best to conduct air defense. Unfortunately, because of the lack of anti-aircraft weapons, all he could do was to organize soldiers to shoot planes with rifles.

Of course, so far his results are still zero! Not without gain, though.

At least when they fired, the enemy had to fly higher. \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

In order to avoid enemy air raids, Georgief-Messer placed his headquarters in an old-fashioned anti-gun hole.

Obviously, Georgief-Messer is not willing to end his military career, and he is thinking about countermeasures within the command.

Now the senior generals in the navy have retreated strategically, leaving only a few young and promising young officers to stay behind to command the defense of Taranto with him.

No, General! a young officer exclaimed

Georgiev Messer pretended to be calm and said, Karus said slowly, what's the bad news? Could it be that the Bulgarians have already boarded the 6th?

Yes, General! You are really amazing, Bulgaria just successfully boarded the 6th at the dock, and now they are attacking the port! Carus looked at Major General Georgief-Messer with admiration and said.

Georgief-Messer felt like he wanted to cry at this time. Of course it would be a good thing if things were normal, but now? This is the crow's mouth! \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

How many troops do we have now? Georgiev Messer asked shiveringly

After thinking about it, Carus said uncertainly: There are more than 13,000 people! But you know, it also includes our more than 2,000 naval officers and soldiers, and more than 5,000 garrison troops. , everyone else is a group of militia recruited on a temporary basis.

After thinking about it for a while, Georgief-Messer said with a wry smile: Order all troops to resist step by step, withdraw into the city in an orderly manner, use the buildings in the city as bunkers, and fight the enemy in a street battle!

Corruption is always the biggest enemy of an army. As the base camp of the navy, the garrison on the shore is undoubtedly the lowest, and naturally cannot escape the clutches of some people.

It is commonplace to deduct a little military pay and eat a few empty noises. To make matters worse, their daily training is also done under the command of naval officers. \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

Fighting power is God Ma Dongdong? This is really hard to reassure. In comparison, it is estimated that the combat effectiveness of more than two thousand naval officers and soldiers may be more reassuring!

...

Facts have proved that Georgiev - Messer's choice is correct, the Italian defenders on the frontal battlefield are not the opponents of the Bulgarian Navy 6 team.

It is the best choice to withdraw into the city and use the buildings as fortifications to fight street battles, delaying time and waiting for reinforcements. Anyway, this is the mainland of Italy, and as long as you drag on for a few days, reinforcements will continue to arrive.

It's a pity that he overestimated the execution ability of the people under him. The Italian army began to scramble to run back after the retreat order. As for the constant resistance, I'm sorry that this group of rabble did not have such a high level of military literacy!

The promised strategic retreat turned into a rout. Undoubtedly, the newly recruited militiamen were the first to run away. When they heard the retreat, they ran back, causing a flock effect, and the whole line collapsed. \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

The first regiment of Team 6, who had just boarded 6, had not figured out what was going on, 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 receive positions.

After the completion of boarding 6, Christo Ivanov did not start the siege battle immediately. After seizing the port, he immediately ordered to control the warships 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 has no ability to repair these warships?

When Christo Ivanov was complaining, Georgiev Messer in the city also knew that it was over, but not because of the problems of these warships, but because the defenders had lost their minds.

As for these warships, in his opinion, they were all seriously injured goods, and there was no way to go to sea at all. When the reinforcements arrived to recover Taranto, they naturally returned to Italy. \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

Christo Ivanov was worried that the Italians would blow up the warship, and Georgios Messer was worried that he would blow up the warship?

Now that the warship has been obtained, the task of the 6th team has been completed. As for how to get it back and repair it? That's the concern of Major General Pelt. Anyway, it's a simple repair. As long as it doesn't sink, I can take it back and repair it slowly.

Major General Christo Ivanov ordered in a spirited manner: One group is repaired on the spot.

The second regiment went to seize the shipyard, don't let them destroy the machinery and equipment, remember to find out all the engineers inside, and their family members as much as possible to pack and take away!

The three regiments went to seize the warehouse near the port and counted all the valuable things for me. These are our spoils, and we will send ships from China to receive them.

The four regiments are staring at the enemies in the city. If they dare to come forward, they will beat me back! \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

The garrison cleaned the battlefield for me, wiped out the remnants of the enemy, and cleaned up the factories in the suburbs by the way!

Obviously they are here to rob, as for the siege? Or wait for the domestic order!

There are only 10,000 people in the 6th Marine Corps. They have to attack the city, control the port, and face the continuous reinforcements of the Italians. How can they be so 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. Even if the loss is great, for the sake of political influence, the Italian government must rescue Taranto!

Seeing the unscrupulous robbery of the Bulgarian army, French Major General Winster was envious, but unfortunately 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 navy officers and soldiers as 6 military, use it to fight siege warfare, unless he has a brain! \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

General Pelt, won't you participate? Winster asked in confusion

As the commander of this naval battle, he did not bring anyone to participate in the robbery, which puzzled Wenster. More importantly, the Bulgarian navy has not disembarked to snatch the spoils, and it is even more impossible for them to go. France can't afford to lose this man!

Peerte smiled and said: This is the work of their 6th team, they have received professional training in this regard, and they are better than us!

By the way, General Winster, you blocked the Italian Navy, what was the result?

In order to ease the atmosphere, Pert chose to change the subject. He knew that the Italians would retreat, and they would definitely not be able to hide from the eyes of the French. This time the French beat the underdogs, and they would definitely gain something.

When this topic was mentioned, Winster's interest suddenly increased. As one of the heroes of this war, he was about to become the captain of a dreadnought ship. \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

It's not as good as you guys, I just killed two cruisers and a destroyer, and captured a battleship! Winster said eagerly.

After receiving this news, Peerte's good mood suddenly disappeared, and they fought desperately and finally made a wedding dress for France.

There were only four battleships that the Italians broke out of this time. Except for one former dreadnought, the rest were dreadnoughts. There is no doubt that the dreadnoughts deserved the attention of the French.

What Peerte didn't know was that if it wasn't for the fact that the Italians' battleships were relatively fast, they would have been wiped out by now.

In order to contain the Italians, the French navy was heartbroken this time, and now France has had double-digit warships that need to be overhauled.

Just to stop the Italians, they drove full horsepower and even carried loads. Now most of the power systems of these warships are scrapped and need to be replaced! \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

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 to the results, it's all worth it! Their biggest enemy in the Mediterranean, the Italian Navy, will not dare to come out for a long time in the future.

Although Peerte was a little unwilling in his heart, he still said without changing his face: Congratulations to you, then, it's the Andre Dory who was captured, right?

Winster nodded embarrassedly, expressing his acquiescence. Obviously, the French navy picked up a bargain this time, and he was embarrassed to continue to show off.

The two ended their conversation, and Peerte quickly reported the news to the country.

Compared with other people's depression, Ferdinand's mood is much better. The importance of dreadnoughts is still very big now. After the end of the world war, all countries have to recover their vitality. There are too many things, and whether they can afford them is a problem?

There are already five dreadnoughts in Bulgaria now, and if you add the repairable dreadnought in the Italian port, that's six. You can't do it all over the world, but it's enough to mix in the Mediterranean!

Ferdinand thought for a while and said: The 6th Army Department immediately dispatched two infantry divisions to reinforce Taranto, and the Logistics Department organized ships to bring back all our spoils as soon as possible.

The Air Force left a bomber regiment and a fighter group, and the rest were transferred back to prepare for the next step!

In fact, the war has come to the present, and the overall situation of Taranto has basically been settled. As for the Italians huddled in the city, there is nothing to worry about.

Anyway, Ferdinand didn't really plan to occupy Taranto. This is the homeland of the Italians. If Bulgaria occupies this place, prepare to fight them to the end!

Since Taranto cannot be made homeland, there is no point in occupying it for a long time. It's better to snatch everything that can be robbed now and leave a ruin for the Italians.
