My Italian: Chapter 619 , Battle of Malta 1

, the fastest update of my latest chapter of Yidaili!

The British were secretly planning, and they were unaware of the Italians who were eyeing Malta. Of course, with the passage of time, soon came the time for the launch of the campaign.

Palermo is the largest city in Sicily and the island's largest port city. Relying on the convenient advantages of its port, Palermo has also become the logistics center of the Malta campaign, a large number of transport ships gathered here, and the marines preparing for the landing operation are also assembled here. This also led to its port warehouses being piled up with various combat materials, and even some that could not be piled up directly covered with tarps at the wharf.

At this time, a large number of soldiers gathered at the dock, and they were lining up to board the transport ships. On the other side of the dock, a large number of weapons and equipment were also put on the ships with loading and unloading capabilities with the help of cranes.

In addition, a warship outside the port has also started at this time. This is the reserve fleet, led by Lieutenant General Negovan, who will provide **** for the transport formation, as well as fire support at sea.

As for Malta's operational preparations, in addition to preparations at sea and on the ground, it also extended to the sky.

The airship that shined in the frontier battle also appeared in Palermo.

On the outskirts of Palermo, a large open space has long been cleared, here is the anchorage of the second wing of the Italian airship.

What is the Airship Second Wing?

This is a long story. In the border battle with France, although the airships used by Italy gave great convenience to the battlefield. But the management of the airship is very bad. Although in peacetime, the Italian military already has squadrons for airships, but this formation can still be used when managing airships with fewer navy and army, but it is not suitable at all after the recruitment of civilian airships.

You must know that before the war, there were a lot of Italian civilian airships, of which Alitalia had nearly 300 airships of various types for air transportation. After the outbreak of the war, most of these airships were recruited by the military.

It needs to be said here that after the outbreak of the war, there were 21 Italian civilians abroad, including 7 in Britain, France, Russia and its overseas territories. 4 airships reacted quickly and flew away from the hostile forces, and 3 dodged and could not be controlled by them.

Among these airships, the Swan, which flew across the Atlantic, was the most thrilling. It was on an air route from South America to Europe and was passing over the British and French colonies in Africa. https://

As soon as he got the news of the outbreak of war, the captain immediately ordered the airship not to dock at N'Djamena, which was originally a supply station, and fly directly over the Sahara Desert.

Thanks to the Swan's many years of experience in flying South American routes, coupled with the superb skills of the Swan's staff.

The Swan traversed the Sahara without a hitch all the way, and finally resupplied in Sabha, and then drove all the way back to Rome.

In fact, the British in N'Djamena were prepared that as soon as the Swan landed, it would be confiscated on the grounds of enemy supplies.

The British are still very interested in this giant airship.

Speaking of which, before the war, only Germany and Italy were able to manufacture giant airships. This kind of airship with a length of more than 200 meters is not easy to manufacture, because it is not necessary to directly enlarge the airship to make a larger size.

Of course, this kind of giant airship is also more liked by airlines. After all, it can carry more cargo or personnel without increasing the consumption, which allows airlines to earn more.

However, most of the giant airships in the world are owned by Alitalia. The world's largest airline has a monopoly on most giant airships by virtue of its special status with Led Zeppelin and Italian Airship. Only German airlines can take advantage of the home field advantage to take food from Air Italy, and other airlines can only watch it swallow the huge profits of intercontinental flights.

This is also the case, which led to the Italian military being able to recruit a large number of airships after the outbreak of the war. These airships have given the Italian military great convenience in air transportation, ground attack, airborne and other aspects.

Italy can retake the Savoy region, and the airship is definitely the first to take the credit.

In mountainous areas with more restrictions, airships live up to expectations, and in less restrictive seas, airships will definitely play a greater role.

This is indeed the case. Just in reconnaissance, the Navy is extremely satisfied with the airship.

In fact, airships carry radio stations and scout around at a speed of more than 100 kilometers in the sky, which is more convenient than naval warships.

Of course, this is except for extreme weather, but then again, the Mediterranean Sea is not the North Sea, so how come there are so many extreme weather.

Therefore, in order to make the airship play a greater role in the Battle of Malta, it is imperative to use a larger establishment, and this is how the second wing of the airship came.

The airship wing has 5 battalions with a total of 139 airships. Among them, the first brigade is mainly composed of small airships, which are mainly responsible for reconnaissance tasks, and occasionally perform in air fire support activities.

The second and third groups are mainly medium-sized airships, and they are also the airships with the largest number of wing groups. These airships are mainly the main force of air attacks, and also perform tasks such as cameo reconnaissance, high-risk transportation, airborne, and parachute.

As for the fourth brigade, it is dominated by large airships, which are mainly responsible for transportation, airborne and other tasks.

As for the fifth brigade, it is also the brigade with the smallest number of airships. It is composed of giant airships, and these airships also undertake tasks such as transport and landing.

However, unlike other airships, due to the relatively large carrying capacity of the giant airship, the military can modify and strengthen it. It can be loaded with heavy weapons such as artillery, so that troops in urgent need of heavy firepower can quickly get firepower support.

This pair of restricted troops such as paratroopers and mountain infantry can get more fire support.

Of course, given the high cost of these giant airships, tasks such as bombing and parachuting behind enemy lines are generally not allowed to be done. Because each of these airships can support a destroyer, coupled with its vulnerability, the loss of one can make the military feel distressed.

And now, UU reading www. uukanshu.com These large and small airships will be launched from the field outside Palermo, and they will be the first wave of firepower in the Battle of Malta, venting over the defenders' heads. For the landed marines, clear the obstacles they encountered.

Of course, not all airships are preparing for lift-off, and the fearsome big guys on the side of the field are not moving.

But anyway, Italy's attack on the island of Malta has begun.

Next, we will see the battle of wits and courage on both sides, who will have the last laugh.
