A hand-cranked start, a fairly normal way of aircraft engines in this era.

Some are in front of the propeller, with a crank card slot, some are on the side, and there are all kinds of starting methods, and even the most evil old hairy ones are started with explosives.

In history, even if it is BF109, it is a hand-cranked start, and in the later stage, it is only in the F190 that it can be regarded as having an electric start.

This method is primitive and backward, but there are also advantages, for example, if someone wants to steal the plane, if there is only one person, it cannot be stolen, because it cannot be started at all!

Now that the engine was started, Loso shouted, "Get out of the way, get out of the way!" ”

The ground crew in front of him who was in charge of starting, and the ground service car that was on the stairs, were quickly moving to the side, and Loso couldn't wait to pull the throttle lever back and release the brakes.

From the parking area, the P-40 taxied quickly towards the runway, he needed to take off and meet the enemy!

The Germans, when the sky was just dawning, wanted to carry out a sneak attack, of course they would not watch the Germans wreak havoc, they were eagles, and they wanted to soar into the sky!

In front of Loso's eyes, there was already a take-off runway, he opened the throttle wide, the water-cooled engine in front of him, roaring, emitting bursts of roar, the wings on both sides, cutting through the air flow, a steady stream of lift.

Take off, take off!

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

Behind?

The front end is a long in-line water-cooled engine, which occupies almost half the length of the fuselage, and the cockpit is in the middle of the fuselage.

And now, Lotso turned his head vigorously and looked behind him, and before he could see anything, he heard a terrible noise behind him.

"Tom, tom!"

An HS129 attack aircraft, already catching up with him, fired 40-mm Bofors shells at him from behind!

After the replacement of the new engine, the maneuverability of this attack aircraft has finally been reborn, and there is no longer any need to make the pilot unhappy because of the decline in maneuverability due to the cumbersome armor, at this time, the pilot in the cockpit just lowered the operating stick, and the nose of the aircraft leaned down in a dashing manner, like a dragonfly dotting water, and then the 40 mm cannon opened fire!

The shells came in a torrent, and the plane on the runway was blown up!

Behind it, a roaring fire, a 40mm grenade, the performance is quite strong, as long as one hits, it can explode a big hole!

What self-closing fuel tanks, what fire extinguishing systems, all useless!

The burning fighter plane continued to slide forward, sliding and running, and Losso in the cockpit, with all his strength, finally jumped down from above, and he watched his fighter plane, like a huge fireball, rush to the lawn on the side of the base.

His foot was injured, and he limped to his feet, looking at the entire base, listening 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 eliminated, and a few HS129s came over, and as soon as they strafed, no one came forward.

Then, those HS129s continued to shoot at various targets at the airport, unscrupulously strafing, even the thick hangars could not stop their strafing, and one P-40 after another, just like that, exploded and caught fire, just like a bonfire.

Countless ground crews, pilots, screaming, dodging everywhere, behind them, it was the German pilots strafing the ground, and people were constantly being shot and screaming.

Before the war started, their base had already been abolished! In front of Loso's eyes, there was fire everywhere, and death everywhere.

This is a war that is destined to be tragic!

Port Said.

It was a port that flourished entirely on the Suez Canal, existing as an important transit point, and now, Port Said, as the starting point of the Suez Canal, is the focus of British protection.

Yes, it was not the troops transferred from the colonies who guarded the place, but the purest British soldiers, whose will to fight was even stronger.

Moreover, they had prepared in advance, and the wide anti-tank trenches would block the attack of German tanks!

This is also the only way for them, the anti-tank guns sent by the United States are all equipped with the troops on the front line, and they do not fall into their hands, relying on their current 2-pounder guns, which are useless at all.

The soldiers on guard, with their rifles, waited in the trenches, and the early morning was a little foggy, and it looked extremely cold.

Just ten minutes ago, the Germans attacked their air base, and all the fighters were destroyed on the runway, so everyone knew that the battle would soon begin.

As a soldier of the Empire, fight for the Empire until the last moment!

"Buzz, buzz." At this moment, the roar of engines came from the sky, and when they raised their heads, they immediately showed a confused gaze, and it was not the German Stuka that flew in, but a Junkers-52 transport plane!

What does this plane want to do?

The Junkers-52 was careful not to place the air defense positions close to the ground, just over the trenches of the front line, like snowflakes, spilling a large number of leaflets.

The Germans are handing out leaflets!

Private Ryan, only felt a burst of whiteness in front of him, a leaflet, just covered his face, he picked it up, and looked at the words on it, all of which were written in English.

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

The Empire is not George VI's, and you should no longer take on the impossible ideals for George VI. Alexandria has fallen, Cairo has been conquered by our army, George VI has disappeared into chaos, Elizabeth has returned to London, Egypt has surrendered, this war is over!

Lay down your weapons and return to the arms of Edward VIII, just lay down your weapons, and no one will hold you accountable for your previous mistakes!

"No, no, this is a conspiracy of the Germans, let's not be fooled!"

Someone shouted.

"No, it's a fact, if General Montgomery was still in Alexandria, how could Germany keep raiding here!"

"Edward VIII is the current king, George VI, and he is dead!"

"No, you are not allowed to insult King George VI, he is our leader, and we will not surrender to our enemy Germany!"

On the position, there was confusion, there were people of all kinds of opinions, and at this time, their commander, but he did not come forward. The subordinate commanders, who did not have the ability to think, needed to listen to the superior commanders, and their superior commanders, all disappeared, and they were called back to the command.
