The Third Reich
Chapter 866: Port Said
Hand cranking is a fairly normal way for aircraft engines in this era.
Some are on the front of the propeller with a crank handle, and some are on the side. There are many ways to start, and even the most evil old Maozi is started with explosives.
In history, even the BF109 was started by hand crank, but when it came to FW190, it was considered to have 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 started at all!
Now that the engine had started, Loso shouted loudly: "Move away, move away!"
The ground handling vehicle that was responsible for starting in front, and the ground handling vehicle used as a step, were quickly shifting aside, and Loso could not wait to pull the throttle lever backwards and release the brake.
From the parking area, P-40 quickly taxied to the runway. He needs to take off to meet the enemy!
The Germans actually wanted to carry out a sneak attack when the sky was just getting light. Of course, they would not watch the Germans raging. It was an eagle, so it would soar into the sky!
In front of Loso's eyes, the runway for take-off appeared. He fully opened the throttle. The water-cooled engine in front roared and roared. The wings on both sides were cutting through the airflow and continuously turning into lift.
Take off, take off!
Loso couldn't wait to pull up his plane, but at this moment, an anxious voice sounded in his headset: "Captain, Captain, pay attention to the back!"
Behind?
The front end is a long inline water-cooled engine, which occupies almost half the length of the fuselage. The cockpit is in the middle of the fuselage. This kind of fighter has almost no rearward vision. This is also the mainstream layout in the early days to minimize air resistance. !
And now, Loso turned his head vigorously and looked back. Before he saw anything, he heard a terrible noise from behind.
"Tom tom, tom tom!"
An HS129 attack aircraft had caught up with him, and shot a 40mm Bofors shell at him from behind!
After being replaced with a new engine, the maneuverability of this attack aircraft has finally undergone a completely renewed change. There is no longer any need to upset the pilots due to the reduced maneuverability caused by the cumbersome armor. At this time, the pilots in the cockpit, Just lower the control lever, and the nose of the machine headed down, like a dragonfly, and then the 40mm cannon fired!
The cannonballs came violently, and the plane on the runway was blown up!
Behind it, the 40mm grenade was burning blazingly, and the performance was quite powerful. As long as one hit, it could explode a big hole!
What self-closing fuel tanks and fire extinguishing systems are all useless!
The burning fighter continued to slid forward and slid. Loso in the cockpit exhausted all his strength and finally jumped down from above. He watched his fighter plane, like a huge fireball, charging Go to the lawn on the side of the base.
His foot was injured, he stood up limping, looked at the entire base, and listened to the constant explosions around, like **** on earth.
The air defense position on the west side of the base was the first to be dropped. A few HS129s came over, and once strafed, no one came up. Then, one Stuka dived and dropped bombs, exploding the entire antiaircraft artillery position.
Then, those HS129s continued to shoot at various targets in the airport, and even the thick hangars couldn’t stop them from shooting. A P-40 just exploded and caught fire, just like it was driving. It's the same for a bonfire party.
Numerous ground crews and pilots screamed and dodged everywhere. Behind them, German pilots strafed toward the ground. People were constantly shot and screamed.
Before the war, their base has been abolished! In front of Loso's eyes, there was fire everywhere, and death everywhere.
This is a war destined to be tragic!
Port Said.
This is a port that prospered solely on the Suez Canal. It exists as an important transit point. Now, Port Said, as the starting position of the Suez Canal, is the focus of the British army.
It is true that the guards here are not the troops mobilized from the colonies, but the purest British soldiers. Their fighting will must be stronger.
Moreover, they have made preparations in advance, that wide anti-tank trenches will block the attack of German tanks!
This is also their only way. The anti-tank guns sent by the United States were equipped with front-line troops, and they did not fall into their hands. With their current 2-pounder guns, they were useless.
The guarding soldiers, holding their rifles, were waiting in the trenches. There was some fog in the morning, and they looked extremely cold.
Just ten minutes ago, the Germans sneaked into their air base, and all fighters were destroyed on the runway. Therefore, everyone knows that the battle will start soon.
As a soldier of the empire, fight for the empire to the last minute!
"Oh, hum." At this moment, the roar of the engine came from the sky. They raised their heads and suddenly showed confused eyes. What flew was not a German Stuka, but a plane. Junker-52 transport aircraft!
What do you want to do with this plane?
Junker-52 was very careful not to have an air defense position close to the ground, just above the trenches on the front line, like snowflakes, a large number of leaflets were scattered.
The Germans are handing out flyers!
Private Ryan only felt a white flare in front of his eyes, a leaflet just covering his face, he picked it up and looked at the words on it, all written in English.
British soldiers, don't let your blood flow in vain!
The empire does not belong to George VI, and you should no longer bear the impossible ideals for George VI. Alexandria has fallen~www.wuxiaspot.com~Cairo has been captured by our army, George VI has disappeared in the rebellion, Elizabeth has returned to London, Egypt has surrendered, and this war is over!
Put down your weapons and return to the arms of Edward VIII. As long as you put down your weapons, no one will pursue your previous mistakes!
"No, no, this is a conspiracy by 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, and George VI is dead!"
"No, you are not allowed to insult King George VI. He is our leader. We will not surrender to the world's enemy, Germany!"
On the battlefield, there was chaos and people with all kinds of opinions. At this time, their commander did not come forward. The lower-level commanders had no ability to think and needed to listen to the higher-level commanders, but their upper-level commanders disappeared, and they were summoned back to the headquarters.
