The plane took off in five minutes. Since there is no special seat, I can only sit in the cabin full of cargo with a few soldiers who are on the same plane.

　　 When I first started flying, I still felt good. When the plane rose to a certain altitude, the temperature in the cabin began to drop suddenly. Although I was wearing a thick military coat, I was still shivering from the cold.

　　 The fighters on the same plane seem to travel this route frequently. They have rich experience in warming up from the cold. Not long after the temperature dropped, they skillfully took out the blankets from the large backpacks they carried with them. Seeing me sneezing from the cold, a kind soldier handed over a blanket and said kindly: "Comrade Commander, I have an extra blanket here. Use it first. Be careful not to freeze it. ."

　　 I glanced at him gratefully, took the blanket from his hand, and put it on my body. Fortunately, with this blanket to keep out the cold, I could not catch a cold when I arrived in Leningrad.

　　 After the plane landed at the airport, the rear compartment opened, and I followed a few soldiers and got off the plane. Seeing me getting off the plane, a second lieutenant officer approached me immediately. When he came to me, he raised his hand to salute and asked politely: "Comrade Commander, hello! Are you Major Oshanina from Moscow?"

　　 I looked down at my military coat that I did not wear any military rank emblems, then nodded and said, "Yes, I am Major Oshanina. Are you here to pick me up?"

The second lieutenant shook his head unexpectedly and said, "Comrade Major, I am Bergkin, the platoon leader of the airport guard. As the city is being bombarded by the Germans, the car that came to pick you up is stuck on the road. I was ordered to take you to the airport first. To rest in his duty room."

　　 As I followed Lieutenant Bergkin to the duty room, I couldn't help but curiously asked: "Does the German army often bombard the city?"

"Yes," the second lieutenant gave me an affirmative answer: "It turns out that the Germans still bombed the city. When they felt that it was a waste to bomb the besieged city with their precious aircraft, they switched to bombing with artillery. We are."

When the second lieutenant said this, I couldn't help but shudder, saying that this place is much more dangerous than Moscow. Today, if I was killed by a German shell on the way to the Smolny Palace, that kind of death would be enough. Unjust.

　　 was sitting in the duty room and could just see the plane just now. Around the plane, there were a dozen trucks parked, and soldiers were unloading things. Although it was a little far apart, I could still see clearly that the small anti-tank gun and heavy machine gun were unloaded. After the soldiers loaded all the flour and sugar from the plane on the vacated truck, they loaded the weapons unloaded from the truck into the plane.

　　 Seeing this scene, my curiosity regained my curiosity, and I couldn’t help asking again: "Comrade Lieutenant, what are they doing?"

The second lieutenant standing at the window said without turning his head: "This plane is for weapons produced by Leningrad. Due to the shortage of food in the city, the transport plane will bring us a full plane every time. food."

　　 I was trying to learn more about Leningrad, when the second lieutenant suddenly said: "Comrade Major, your car is here." After that, he opened the door and walked out.

A lieutenant and a driver came to pick me up. When the Jim car stopped outside the watch, the lieutenant got out of the car and ran in front of me. He stood up and saluted and said loudly, "Comrade Major, hello! I am Lieutenant Ivanov from the headquarters was ordered to pick you up."

　　 I raised my hand in return, and then reached out to him and said kindly: "Hello, Comrade Lieutenant, thank you for coming to pick me up."

After Ivanov shook hands with me, he leaned sideways in a gesture of inviting him and said, "Comrade Major, please get in the car. Because of the German shelling, we have already lost a lot of time. If we don’t leave, we will go to Sri Lanka. It should be dark at Morni Palace."

　　 The driver’s skills are very good. He drove the Jim car at high speed on the bumpy road. It took only half an hour to reach the gate of Officer Smolny.

　　 The entrance to the Smolny Palace is covered with a huge camouflage net. Although the sky is still dark, the light here is very dark. We got out of the car at the door. After the driver drove the car away, I followed Ivanov and walked into the building.

　　 The guards on duty at the gate, whether they are officers or soldiers, are extremely strict with regard to personnel entering and exiting. There are indications that Ivanov and these guards are very familiar with ~lightnovelpub.net~, but from the gate, he also had to show his credentials to the sentry post three times in a row. After checking his documents, the young officers who served as guards repeatedly checked my documents. Even the officers with a sentry post called the relevant departments to ask if I was eligible to enter the Smolny Palace.

　　 Ivanov took me to the door of the building, stopped and said, "Comrade Major, according to my authority, I can only send you here. You can only take the rest of the journey."

　　 I reached out to him, shook his hand, and said, "Thank you, Comrade Lieutenant. We will have a period later."

　　 Ivanov nodded at me, and after a military salute, turned and left.

　　 I walked up to the second floor, only to remember that I didn't know which floor the office of Lieutenant General Huo Jin was on. I didn’t expect to ask Lieutenant Ivanov about this just now, so I had to wander in the corridors of the Smolny Palace, hoping to find the commander’s office based on the name signs hanging on each door. . However, I was quickly disappointed. I couldn't see any name signs on the door. Perhaps for confidentiality reasons, those signs had been removed long ago. Today, only narrow light-colored marks are left on the door. I hesitated a little, and didn't dare to ask Huo Jin's office as soon as I met someone. After wandering for a long time, I was about to go back to the hall downstairs to ask the guards for the room number I was looking for. As soon as I turned around, I ran into a commander who was walking out of the nearest door.

　　 The commander didn't see me wandering in the corridor, so he walked straight in the opposite direction, getting farther and farther away from me. I summoned the courage to chase forward quickly, and at the same time raised my voice and shouted, "Comrade Commander, please wait a minute!"
