Bulgarian Empire

Chapter 66, Bombing

After the outbreak of the World War, European countries issued official documents one after another, declaring the justice of their country's participation in the war, and pinning the shit pot of starting the war on the enemy.

The French government shouted: "Fight to defend France"; (French: Fight for revenge and regain lost land!)

The German government declares: "Fight for the dignity of the country"; (Germans: Fight for the land under the sun, for resources, for the market!)

The British government declared: "Fight for the peace of the world, for the stability of Europe"; (British: Didn't you say peace? Why did it start so soon? Hans is so presumptuous, he dared to ignore Britain The empire’s warning must teach them a lesson!)

The Russian government declared: "Fight for the insult of the Slavic brothers by the Austro-Hungarian Empire"; (Russian: Where are the Slavic brothers? Bulgaria? It seems wrong, the Austro-Hungarian Empire failed to do anything to them? Could it be Serbia, do they count?)

The government of the Austro-Hungarian Empire declared: "The enemy is coming, take up arms to defend the country"; Independence. In general, can we wait? We're not ready yet!)

The Italian government declared: "The enemy has declared war, and we are forced to fight"; (Italian: We didn't do anything? Do we have to join the war just because we are allies? Damn the Triple Alliance, labor and capital really don't want to go fight!)

The Ottoman Empire government shouted: "~~Jihad, recapture Constantinople"; (Turks: Take revenge, show the Russians and Bulgarians a little bit of color, let them experience it~~~ It’s amazing! 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 recover the lost land"; (Romanians: Bulgarians are so fierce! Bears are so fierce! Why are we caught in the middle? It's not fair!)

The Kingdom of Montenegro declared: "Fight to defend the country"; (Montenegro people: I don't want to fight Bulgaria, if I want to fight, I want to 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-Bulgarian Alliance" has all joined the alliance except Greece, which is already finished.

The reason for the Bulgarian government's participation in the war is naturally: "Fight for national security"!

This reason is very strong, at least the Bulgarians believe it, or it is: "Fight for land and military merit!"

...

While the governments of various countries are fighting the propaganda war, the war is also fully waged.

The Germans and the French have already started a head-to-head confrontation. Millions of troops from both sides are fighting on the German-French border. The blood flowed like a river; the bears on the eastern front and Germany and Austria are fighting in a three-way melee; Bulgaria in the Balkans is attacking Belgrade, and the Kingdom of Montenegro is attacking Bulgaria again .

The hard-working Romania is preparing for a one-vs-two, and the Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen dynasty that has just succeeded to the throne-Ferdinand has not yet had the courage to take the initiative to attack.

Although the world war has begun, the climax has not yet come. Except for Bulgaria, which has been prepared in advance, all countries are still undergoing final mobilization work.

So the Italians are struggling. As a member of the Allied Powers, Italy is also prepared in advance, but they are all defending against the French attack.

As for Taranto, which is completely the rear, does it need to be defended? With the strength of the Italian navy and the shore artillery at the port, even if all the Allied fleets in the Mediterranean were brought over, everyone would be wounded. 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 sleep, and before they had time to enjoy a delicious breakfast, there was a roar in the sky, and a group of "big birds" roared past.

The tranquility of the Port of Taranto was shattered,

A tongue of fire shot out from the sky, and the Italian navy soldiers who were doing morning exercises fell down in response.

That's right, it is the Bulgarian Air Force's Falcon 1 fighter that opened the way ahead, which was designed by the famous Anthony Fokker.

In history, this young aircraft designer was underappreciated. After the outbreak of the World War, the British once offered him a sky-high price of 10 million US dollars, but it was destroyed by the German intelligence organization. He himself only found out after the war.

Of course, before the outbreak of World War II, aircraft designers were not taken seriously, and this time and space is no exception. Anthony Falk accepted Ferdinand's olive branch at the most desperate time.

The Falcon 1 generation fighter is a monoplane fighter, which is an improved version of the famous Fokker e.3 fighter!

After all, historically it was created temporarily after the outbreak of the war, and the Falcon 1 has been perfected for two years, and its performance has been greatly improved.

Although it is a fighter jet, its ammunition load has surpassed that of an ordinary bomber. Ferdinand didn't bother to ask what was going on, but it is perfect for leading the battle now.

After a round of machine gun fire at an altitude of 100 meters, the Italians were completely in chaos, and anti-aircraft firepower did not exist.

Due to the different speeds of the planes, even though they took off at the same time, the fighters still had to arrive at the destination ten minutes before the bombers.

So the first batch of Falcon 1 launched the first round of attacks. Since the Italians had no anti-aircraft firepower, the Bulgarian Air Force kept attacking at a height of about 100 meters.

Obviously, the target of this battle is not these naval soldiers, they are only incidental, the main target is the Italian Navy warship in the port of Taranto, and the main purpose of attacking the crowd is to disrupt order.

Facts have proved that this time the Bulgarian Air Force got off to a smooth start. It was the first time they faced a threat from the sky, and the Italians below had completely lost their organization and were in a mess.

Immediately afterwards, everyone unanimously aimed at the warships in the port and started dropping bombs.

Of course, even if it is only a fixed target at a height of 100 meters, the hit rate in the high flight of the aircraft is not very good.

But it doesn't matter, there are enough Italian naval warships in the port of Taranto, and the distances are not far apart. If you don't hit this one, you can hit another one. This is much more accurate than a sneak attack at night!

As for the reaction of the Italians, they were naturally in a forced state, and there was no one in their hands if they wanted to fight back!

Shooting down planes with rifles only exists in anti-Japanese dramas, and it is not much different from tearing down planes by hand. It does not exist in real situations!

According to incomplete statistics, the probability of shooting down a plane with a rifle is even lower than the probability of the plane falling from the sky by itself!

As for shooting down planes with heavy machine guns and light machine guns, that's even more nonsense. Just point your guns at the sky, don't worry about jamming, but also worry about bombing! Otherwise, why produce a special anti-aircraft machine gun?

The time for bombing was over soon, and after a loud bang, a mess was left behind. The pilots continued to shoot at the crowd with machine guns, regardless of the results of the battle.

A few minutes later, bombers also roared in. They were the main force of the attack. The main purpose of the fighter jets was to disrupt order and prevent the Italians from organizing and driving the warships away.

Different from fighter jet attacks, bombers are much more powerful, and their hit rate has also been significantly improved. Hundreds of tons of bombs were dumped on Italian naval ports, and a large number of warships were hit.

The warships began to sink at a speed visible to the naked eye. After the bombing was completed, the bombers began to return, while the fighter jets continued to create chaos.

The Italians also began to organize a weak counterattack. I don't know which idiot gave the order to think that the airship can deal with the plane, and then there is no more!

Whether it is an Italian aircraft or an airship, they have only contributed a new record to the Bulgarian Air Force!

Using reconnaissance planes to deal with fighter jets and airships to deal with fighter jets can only be said to be the Italians who went to the doctor in a hurry.

However, the Italian Navy Rear Admiral Georgoff Messe was powerless and had to make a final effort. Although it might be futile, he had to die as a living horse doctor in the face of a crisis!

When the bombers were all evacuated, the fighter jets also began to retreat. There is no way that the explosive power of aircraft in this era is limited.

The battery life of Falcon 1 is theoretically 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 evacuate, you will be in big trouble!

Airplanes in 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, Major General Georgoff Messe immediately organized his personnel to fight the fire. Unfortunately, the second round of bombing was caused by inoculation again. The Italian navy, which had not had time to organize, was in chaos again, and the chaotic crowd was running around. Find shelter from the bombing.

Fortunately, the target of the Bulgarian Air Force is not them. The target of the bombing this time is not just the warships in the port. After the first round of bombing, the Italian Navy has suffered heavy losses.

This time, apart from splitting half of the planes to continue bombing the warships, others have set their targets on the forts and shipyards, destroying the Italians' naval war potential as much as possible, which is also the main purpose of this operation!
