When Admiral Cadorna and Simeone were the defenders of the city of Skopje and planned to make a surprise move. A fleet appears off the coast of Izmir.

With the appearance of this fleet, the Italian fleet, which was invincible in this war, also appeared in front of the local residents. The local residents of this city where Homer was said to have been born were not at all like the legendary poet who stayed to witness it with their own eyes. They all flocked to the outside of the city with their families and mouths.

Facing the wave of fleeing in Izmir City, Lieutenant Admiral Yagier, the fleet commander who led the **** and fire support, put down the telescope in his hand and said. "Order the fleet to launch an artillery attack in half an hour, and tell Lord Grove this news. Let's give those innocent civilians some time to flee."

"The kindness of the lieutenant general, the residents of this place should be grateful."

Rear Admiral Hilma, the fleet chief of staff standing beside him, praised the commander's kindness. And Lieutenant Colonel Lefer, who was standing beside the two as the flagship captain, looked at the two in front of him speechlessly.

Half an hour is the time the fleet needs to prepare before the bombardment, and how many people can leave the city in half an hour. If it's kindness, it should be given two hours for it to start showing results. However, he could only keep this in his heart. The Ottomans in the city had nothing to do with him, and he couldn't blame his boss for this.

The two fleet commanders did not know the thoughts of Leifer behind him.

However, the messengers ran very fast. After all, there was no radio in this era, and semaphores, signal lights, etc. were needed to send information.

When the Italian fleet was still preparing, the officers and soldiers of the Ottoman 79th Division, which was the garrison of Izmir City, were also panicking. The division was formed less than two months ago, but the equipment was insufficient, and even the basic training had not been completed, otherwise it would not be their turn to garrison the place, and they would have been pulled to the front line of Adrianople.

Faced with the sudden arrival of the Italian fleet, Major General Hartmut, the division commander and the highest commander of the garrison, felt heavy pressure.

Standing on the watchtower in the best position, he looked at the tall and mighty Italian battleship outside the harbor, and anxiously asked the chief of staff beside him. "Is the coastal defense battery ready?"

"Not yet."

Hearing this answer, Hartmut, who put down the telescope in his hand, asked in surprise. "Why aren't you ready, what the **** is going on?"

Faced with Hartmut's questioning, the chief of staff answered. "Because the commander of the coastal defense battery, Lieutenant Colonel Hartmut, took the key to the ammunition depot, the soldiers of the battery have not been able to receive the ammunition."

Hearing the chief of staff's answer, Hartmut looked surprised, could there be anything more absurd than this. "Then go find this **** lieutenant colonel."

Because of its particularity, the munitions and ammunition depot is extremely strong. If there is no key, it will not take a long time to open it. As for using other tools or methods, you can imagine the pressure if you want flammable and explosive ammunition behind the door.

"People have been sent to look for it. Some officers and soldiers saw Lieutenant Colonel Hartmut leaving with the two girls last night."

Hearing this, Hartmut felt furious. If Lieutenant Colonel Hartmut appeared in front of him now, he would have drawn his pistol and killed him on the spot. I really regret that because of his uncle relationship as the mayor of the city, I couldn't let this guy get out of the way, and now the retribution is on me.

Although Izmir's coastal defense fort can play a big role, it is hard to say, but if the Italians know that they lack the deterrence of coastal defense, the consequences will be disastrous.

When the local defenders were looking for the lieutenant colonel, the Italian fleet outside the harbour finally made a new move. When they came in, they immediately set their sights on the coastal defense battery that threatened them the most.

"Eight kilometers..."

"Six kilometers..."

"Five kilometers..."

As the observers kept reporting the distance between the two, when they entered the distance of 5,000 meters, Lieutenant Admiral Yagier, the commander of the fleet, felt strange. In fact, it was not only him who felt strange, but also other officers and soldiers of the fleet. Why did the enemy No fire, although according to the information the city's shore fire cannons are not enough to cause fatal damage to several battleships, they are all within their effective range, and there should be no response.

Although some did not understand why the enemy's fort did not fire, Lieutenant General Yagier saw this as an opportunity. "Open fire. If the enemy doesn't fight back, get close to 3,000 meters away and bombard it."

Following his orders, an artillery fleet composed entirely of battleships of more than 10,000 tons bombarded the battery in turn.

"Boom boom~"

The power of the large-caliber naval guns was vividly displayed in the shelling. A single shell blasted huge craters around the coastal defense fort.

However, even if the fleet was bombarded like this, the enemy battery still did not respond. At this time, although the officers and soldiers of the fleet did not know what happened, it was obvious that they still understood the truth of taking advantage of illness to kill people. The fleet then approached the battery while shelling.

When it entered the distance of 3,000 meters, the accuracy of the fleet's artillery was greatly improved. Several artillery shells fell on the position of the battery and exploded.

"Continue shelling, don't stop."

Lieutenant General Yagier, who saw such a scene, would not miss the opportunity. He wants to completely destroy the enemy's fort. As long as the enemy does not have the cover of the coastal defense battery, then the capture of the city of Izmir is easy.

"An enemy is approaching the battery, bearing 54.12."

As the shelling continued, sharp-eyed lookouts observed a stream of enemies rushing towards the battery and pushing something.

But no matter what they were pushing, since they were discovered, there was only one result~www.NovelMTL.com~ Soon the two battleships turned their guns around and launched against the enemy who dared to rush to the fort now. shelling.

Boom boom boom, after a few shells exploded, a louder boom sounded. Now everyone knew what they were doing, but the result was very deadly at the time.

After watching the death squad he sent from afar being wiped out, Major General Hartmut waved his hand and slammed into the wall.

At this time, it is impossible to send death squads, and the next issue to consider is not just defending the city. These are the consequences of that lieutenant colonel Hartmut. Thinking of this, Major General Hartmut said bitterly. "Reinforce the fort with Lieutenant Colonel Hartmut. He will either live with the fort or be shot for desertion. It's up to him to choose."

It was obvious that at this time, Major General Hartmut had already disregarded the others, and the little Lieutenant Colonel Hartmut could not bear the responsibility of Izmir.
