Hand-cranking is a very normal way for aircraft engines in this era.

Some are in front of the propeller and add a shaking slot, while others are on the side. There are various starting methods, and even the most evil Russians start with explosives.

In history, even bf109 was started by hand, and it was only after fw190 that there was an electric start.

This method is primitive and backward, but it also has benefits. For example, if someone wants to steal the plane and there is only one person, it cannot be stolen because it cannot be activated at all!

Now that the engine has started, Losso shouted loudly: "Come away, move away!"

The ground crew in charge of starting up and the ground crew car that was on the steps were moving quickly to the side, and Losso couldn't wait to pull the accelerator lever back and release the brakes.

P-40 quickly slid towards the runway from the shutdown area. He needed to take off and face the enemy!

The Germans actually wanted to launch a sneak attack when the sky was just dawn. Of course, they would not watch the Germans rage. They were eagles and they were going to soar in the sky!

There was a take-off runway in front of Loso's eyes. He opened the accelerator and the water-cooled engine in front roared and made waves of roar. The wings on both sides were slashing the airflow and continuously turning into lift.

Take off, take off!

Losso couldn't wait to pull his plane up, but, at this moment, an anxious voice sounded in his headphones: "Captain, captain, pay attention to the back!"

later?

The front end is a long inline water-cooled engine, which accounts for almost half of the length of the fuselage. The cockpit is in the middle of the fuselage. This fighter has almost no backward vision. This is also the mainstream layout plan in the early days, trying to minimize air resistance!

And now, Losso turned his head hard and looked back. Before he could see anything, he could hear the terrifying sound behind him.

"Bang, bang!"

An HS129 attack aircraft had caught up with him and shot 40mm Bofos shells at him from behind!

After replacing the new engine, the maneuverability of this attack aircraft has finally undergone a complete transformation. The pilot will no longer be unhappy because of the burden of armor. At this time, the pilot in the cockpit just lowered the operating rod, and the nose of the aircraft leaped down gracefully, like a dragonfly, followed by the 40mm cannon fired!

The shells rushed to the scene, and the plane on the runway was blown up!

Behind it, it burns wildly. The 40mm grenade has a very powerful performance. As long as one is hit, a big hole can be exploded!

What kind of self-immune fuel tanks and fire extinguishing systems are useless!

The burning fighter plane continued to slide forward, and Loso in the cockpit used all his strength to finally jump off from above. He watched his fighter plane rushing to the lawn on the side of the base like a huge fireball.

His foot was injured, he limped up, looked at the entire base, and listened to the constant explosions around him, like hell on earth.

The air defense position on the west side of the base was the first to be dropped. Several HS129s came over and no one emerged after firing. Then, one by one, Stuka dived and dropped bombs, blowing the entire anti-aircraft gun position to pieces.

Then, the hs129 continued to shoot at various targets in the airport, and even the thick hangar could not stop their strafing. The p-40s exploded and caught fire, just like a bonfire party.

Countless ground crew members and pilots screamed and dodged everywhere. Behind them was the German pilots shooting towards the ground, and people were constantly being shot and screaming.

Before the war began, their base was destroyed! There were fire everywhere in front of Loso's eyes and death everywhere.

This is a war that is destined to be tragic!

Port Said.

This is a port that flourished entirely by the Suez Canal and exists as an important transit station. Now, the Port of Said, as the starting position of the Suez Canal, is the focus of the British guardianship.

Yes, the guards here are not the troops mobilized from the colonies, but the purest British soldiers, whose fighting will is stronger.

Moreover, they have prepared in advance that the wide anti-tank trench will block the attack of German tanks!

This is also their only way. The anti-tank guns sent by the United States have all equipped the front-line troops, but they have not fallen into their hands. It is useless to rely on their current 2-pound guns.

The guards, holding their rifles, were waiting in the trenches. There was some mist in the morning, and it looked extremely cold.

Just over a dozen minutes ago, the Germans sneaked into their air base, and all the fighter planes were destroyed on the runway, so everyone knew that the battle would start soon.

As a soldier of the empire, you must fight for the empire until the last moment!

"Buzz, buzz." At this moment, the roar of the engine came from the sky. When they raised their heads, they immediately showed their confused eyes. It was not the German Stuka, but a Juncker-52 transport plane flying over!

What do this plane want to do?

Junker-52 was very careful not to have a position near the ground air defense position, and was just above the trenches on the front line, like snowflakes, scattering a large number of leaflets.

The Germans are sending leaflets!

Brave Ryan only felt a white moment in front of him. A flyer just covered his face. He picked it up and looked at the words on it, which were all written in English.

British soldiers, don't let your blood flow in vain!

The empire is not George VI's. You should no longer bear the impossible ideals for George VI. Alexandria has fallen, Cairo has been captured by our army, George VI has disappeared among the chaos, Elizabeth has returned to London, Egypt has surrendered, and this war has ended!

Put down your weapons and return to Edward VIII's arms. As long as you put down your weapons, no one will pursue your past mistakes!

"No, no, this is a German conspiracy, we should not be fooled!"

Someone shouted.

"No, this is the fact. If General Montgomery was still in Alexandria, how could Germany keep raiding here!"

"Edward VIII is the king now, and George VI has passed away!"

"No, we are not allowed to insult King George VI. He is our leader. We will not surrender to the world's enemy Germany!"

The position was in chaos and there were people with all kinds of opinions. At this time, their commanders did not stand up. The subordinate commanders had no ability to think and needed to listen to the superior commanders, but their superior commanders disappeared and they were summoned back to the headquarters.
