"That's it." Du Lili waved her small fist, "If you don't accept it, we'll beat him down." ”

"This is also a way," Xiao Tiantian tilted her head, looked at Sun Hui seriously, and said a sentence that made him squirt blood, "As the old saying goes, sticks make filial piety." ”

"Liwei is a must, but it also has to pay attention to the way." Ye Chuchu said to Sun Hui, "Let's go to the 'punishment camp' to pick people, there are many officers in it, we can choose a leader to assist us in our work." ”

Seeing that everyone supported him, Sun Hui had confidence again.

The next step is to deal with the NKVD people.

At this time, Sun Hui and the girls didn't know that they would get a lot of unexpected help in the future.

When Major General Lukashenko returned to the command of the Leningrad Air Defense Forces, air raid sirens had just sounded over the city, where lights were under control.

Major General Lukashenko has taken an elevator down to a depth of 50 meters in the basement, above which is the newly built high-rise office building of the Air Defense Command. When the extremely complex command equipment was installed, he came with Marshal Voroshilov, then commander of the Leningrad Military District, and later with Zhukov, who succeeded Voroshilov.

People appreciate the office building and the underground headquarters. However, among these high-ranking "inspectors", perhaps one patronized the main hall, the command room of the commander of the Air Defense Forces. They were stunned when they saw the fluffy couches, the huge carpets on the floor, and the silencing velvet plastered to the walls. Some kept raising their eyebrows, and some smiled disappreciatively, and they all inevitably slandered: should the basement still be so luxurious? There was also a soda with a siphon on the table...... But no one said it to their faces. Perhaps it was because the command equipment in the room immediately diverted their attention, there were consoles, coordinate nets, maps, phosphor screens, various instruments and ancillary equipment. The condescending table in the center of the hall was so awe-inspiring that some people were even more surprised when they heard that sitting here they could get in touch with the headquarters of the units and detachments in the air defense zone, with the branches of the armed forces, with the chiefs, with the government organs, and even with any telephone in the city...... From this basement, it seems possible to observe and listen to any movement over and around Leningrad within 250 kilometers, of course, relying on the various air intelligence posts.

None of the people on duty here feel like they are outside the world, but. It is truly a unique place with its own atmosphere, facilities and everything you need for work and relaxation: bedrooms, canteens, showers, oxygen equipment, conference halls...... There is also a separate emergency power station in case the city's power station is damaged.

Major General Lukashenko took the elevator to the lowest floor, walked into the small hall of the command room, and was greeted by a captain on duty, wearing a red armband and a gas mask around his waist. He stepped forward to report that the command room had begun to direct the anti-air raid operation, but Major General Lukashenko interrupted him with a wave of his hand and walked straight through the carpet in the corridor, where there were countless doors on the left side, and each room was responsible for a kind of command and had a clear division of tasks.

He walked into the large war room and saw an old acquaintance, Vakhakimov, at a table on a raised platform, and around him several staff officers. Vakhakimov intuitively seized the moment when Major General Lukashenko came in, his eyes took off the air plotter, he stretched out on the swivel chair, and wanted to stand up, but Major General Lukashenko hurriedly said: "You have the right to be absent, hurry up and work." ”

The command room has indeed begun to work. That's warfare. Major General Lukashenko paced in the open space inside the hall, watching them.

Everything around you doesn't seem to be quite reality, like reading a science fiction novel and then being immersed in a dream. Looking at Vakhakimov from Vakhakimov's side, Major General Lukashenko felt that this picture was like an upside-down sky, with German bombers and our fighter planes marked on it, and from his own side, the earth could be seen through the sky. It is covered with a large transparent grating with movable coordinates. Next to it is an instrument used to calculate the coordinates of the detected target.

Targets have been discovered, and there are many of them, as can be seen on maps and fluorescent screens, anti-aircraft intelligence posts, fighter planes and searchlights have entered the battle, and enemy bombers and our fighters are increasing.

Lukashenko sometimes felt that he was watching a wonderful drama and that the protagonists were his friends. In this hall, next door, and in the air intelligence outpost and searchlight command room on the upper floor, there is indeed a live drama going on. Colonel Oleg and a team of officers were the key to the general air intelligence outpost. Every target, its altitude and course from each sentinel was to be marked immediately on a map and recorded in a record book. The most dangerous targets were then selected from the many targets and transmitted through the internal communication line to the chief of operations, Colonel Vagruev, who was sitting next to General Vakhakimov, who immediately marked it on the situation map.

Colonel Oleg's memories are like the moving film on a video camera, and everything that falls into the auditory lens is firmly recorded. When it is necessary to intercept the main material recorded, it only takes a moment of twisting back and forth to select the target accurately...... What a superhuman memory!

Selected targets are marked on the map with small aluminium aircraft models. These small planes are glued to the map, they represent the fleet, and they are beginning to approach Leningrad along the road and rail. On the commander's chart, the number of these aircraft is constantly increasing......

Colonel Vagruev unhurriedly and competently marked the combat course of each German group, accurately guessing their tasks. And General Vakhakimov, as usual, sat upright in a swivel chair, calmly judging the situation, and from time to time pressed the buttons on the console, and the console lights of the various service officers flashed red. This means that all calls on the line are temporarily suspended, and the familiar voice of the general giving orders can be heard......

The two powerful counter-attacking forces, fighter planes and anti-aircraft guns, immediately launched their activities in the near and far air in accordance with the orders of the commander of the Air Defense Forces, General Vakhakimov.

To the right of the hall of the general command room is the command room of the head of the aviation group, Colonel Lokashov, and to the left, the room of the anti-aircraft artillery of Colonel Shefraevich. Vakakimov's order was also conveyed here. On the second level, adjacent to the general anti-aircraft intelligence post, an operational group headed by Colonel Samsonov, the chief of searchlight service, commanded a large number of searchlights here.
