Chapter 266

The plane will take off in five minutes. As there was no special seat, I had to sit in the cabin full of goods with a few soldiers on the same plane.

At the beginning of the flight, I still felt good. When the plane rose to a certain height, the temperature in the cabin began to drop suddenly. Although I was wearing a thick military coat, I was still shivering with cold.

It seems that the soldiers on the same plane often go back and forth to this route. They have rich experience in keeping out the cold. Soon after the temperature dropped, they skillfully took out the blanket from their backpack and put it on. Seeing that I was sneezing with cold, a kind-hearted soldier handed me a blanket and said in a friendly way, "Comrade commander, I still have an extra blanket here. Please use it first. Be careful not to freeze it."

I looked at him gratefully, took the blanket from his hand and put it on my body. Thanks to this blanket, I was able to get to Leningrad without catching cold.

After the plane landed at the airport, the back cabin opened, and I followed several soldiers out of the plane. As soon as I got off the plane, a second lieutenant came up to me. Before and after he came to me, he raised his hand to salute and politely asked, "Hello, comrade commander! Are you major oshanina from Moscow

I looked down at my coat, which I had not yet worn, and then nodded and said, "yes, I'm major oshanina. Are you here to meet me

The second lieutenant shook his head unexpectedly and said, "Comrade major, I'm bergkin, the platoon leader of the airport security. As the city is being shelled by the German army, the car that came to pick you up is trapped on the road. I have been ordered to take you to the duty room of the airport to have a rest first. "

As I followed second lieutenant bergkin to the duty room, I couldn't help asking curiously, "do the German often bombard the city?"

"Yes," the second lieutenant gave me a positive answer. "It turns out that the German army still bombed the cities. When they thought it was a waste to bomb the besieged cities with valuable airplanes, they used cannons to bombard us instead."

When I heard the second lieutenant say this, I could not help shivering. My heart said that it was much more dangerous here than Moscow. If I was killed by German shells on the way to smornie Palace today, I would be really unjust.

Sitting in the duty room, you can see the plane just now. Around the plane, a dozen trucks were parked, and soldiers were unloading things. Although it was a little far away, I could see clearly that the small anti tank guns and heavy machine guns were unloaded. The soldiers carried all the flour and sugar on the plane to the empty truck, and then loaded the weapons unloaded from the truck into the plane.

Seeing this scene, my curiosity rose again and I couldn't help asking, "Comrade lieutenant, what are they doing?"

The second lieutenant standing at the window said without looking back: "this plane is for weapons produced in Leningrad. Because of the shortage of food in the city, the transport plane will bring us a full plane of food every time."

Just as I wanted to know more about Leningrad, the second lieutenant suddenly said, "Comrade major, here comes your car." Then he opened the door and went out.

I was met by a lieutenant and a driver. When Jim's car stopped steadily outside the duty room, the lieutenant came out of the car, ran to me, stood at attention, saluted, and loudly reported, "Hello, major! I'm Lieutenant Ivanov from headquarters. I'm here to meet you

I raised my hand to give him a salute, then extended my hand to him and said in a friendly way, "Hello, comrade lieutenant, thank you for coming to meet me."

After shaking hands with me, Ivanov made a gesture of invitation and said, "Comrade major, please get on the bus. Because of the German bombardment, we have already wasted a lot of time. If we don't go any further, it will be dark when we get to smornie palace. "

The driver's skill is very good, driving Jim car, driving at high speed on the potholes of the road, only half an hour, arrived at the gate of Smolny officer.

The entrance of Smolny palace is covered with a huge camouflage net. Although it is not dark yet, the light here is very dark. We got off at the door. After the driver drove away, I followed Ivanov to the building.

The guards on duty at the gate, whether they are officers or soldiers, are extremely strict with the inspection of the people in and out. All kinds of signs show that Ivanov and these guards are very familiar, but from the gate, he had to show his identification to the sentry three times in a row. After checking his documents, the young officers who served as guards checked my documents again and again. Even the officers at the sentry called the relevant departments to ask if I was qualified to enter the smornie palace.

Ivanov took me to the gate of the building, stopped and said, "Comrade major, according to my authority, I can only send you here, and you can only walk the rest of the way."

I reached for him, shook his hand and said, "thank you, comrade lieutenant. We'll see you later. "

Ivanov nodded at me, saluted and turned away.

When I went up to the second floor, it occurred to me that I didn't know on which floor lieutenant general Huo Jin's office was. I didn't expect to ask Lieutenant Ivanov about it just now. Now I have to wander in the corridor of Smolny palace, hoping to find the commander's office according to the name signs on every door. However, I was soon disappointed that there were no name signs on the door. Perhaps for reasons of confidentiality, those signs had been removed for a long time. Today, only narrow light color marks are left on the door. I hesitated to ask where Huo Jin's office was as soon as I met someone. After wandering for a long time, I was going back to the hall downstairs to ask the guards for the room number I was looking for. As soon as I turned around, I met a commander who was coming out of the nearest door.

The commander didn't see me wandering in the corridor, so he went straight in the opposite direction, farther and farther away from me. I summoned up the courage to catch up quickly, and at the same time, I raised my voice and cried, "Comrade commander, please wait a moment!"
