Chapter 11 Revenge Himmelstoss ran to the company commander's office pitifully and reported to him, but the company commander ignored his report. "Himmelstoss, you should be more careful during training." The company commander just said this casually and sent Himmelstoss away. He knew very well what kind of person Himmelstoss was, and he was quite happy to see that he was tricked by the new recruit this time. Himmelstoss walked back with a dark face. He once again brought Lu Mingfei and the others to the muddy ground and ordered them to train to lie down there. It rained here yesterday, turning the frozen mud into soft mud again, filled with freezing rainwater. The smell of the mud mixed with the stench of rotten leaves and soil made people feel nauseous. But orders are orders, and this is the army. Lu Mingfei and his men have no way of disobeying orders from their superiors, but they are human beings after all, not tools that only know how to execute orders. "Ready! Start running! Get down!" Himmelstoss gave all the orders, but Lu Mingfei and the others had not even finished the previous action. They slowly fell to the ground, while still raising their heads proudly and looking at Himmelstoss with contempt. Himmelstoss was so angry that he went crazy. He gave instructions again and again, and Lu Mingfei and the others followed his instructions, but they were very slow in execution. Himmelstoss's throat was almost hoarse, and Lu Mingfei and the others just felt a little tired. The sun has set, and Himmelstoss's voice has become hoarse. He is no longer as vigorous as before, but instead sounds like an old man. He finally compromised and announced the disbandment, but in the end he still ordered Lu Mingfei and Kropp to stand outside the barracks as punishment, as if he was trying to prove to others the price they would have to pay for going against him.
The night air was very cold. Lu Mingfei and Kropp put their hands on the cold gun barrels. The cold air and the cold gun barrels made their fingers numb. Their breath formed white mist in the cold air, but they remained motionless like a sculpture, because they knew that Himmelstoss was hiding not far away and watching them secretly, and they didn't want Himmelstoss to laugh at them. At this time, the barracks door opened, and Paul, Kemmerich, and Mueller came out and stood beside Lu Mingfei and Krop to protect them from the cold wind. Finally, everyone in the barracks came out, surrounded Lu Mingfei and Krop and made them stand together as punishment. Although the air was still cold, a warm current surged from Lu Mingfei's heart. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slowly. Perhaps this was friendship. Lu Mingfei has always had very few friends since he was a child. After high school, he only had one friend, an online friend he met while playing StarCraft online. But in this place which he regarded as hell, he made many friends. Ever since everyone stood in the corner with Lu Mingfei and Klopp as punishment that day, Himmelstoss seemed to be frightened and never bothered Lu Mingfei and the others again. But Lu Mingfei and his friends planned to settle the accounts with Himmelstoss. Ten weeks have passed, and tomorrow is the day Lu Mingfei and his team will go to the front. They plan to beat Himmelstoss before going to the front. This plan was thought out several weeks ago, and they have been waiting for today. They found out that Himmelstoss went to a tavern every night to drink and would pass a dark and deserted road on his way back. Lu Mingfei, Paul, Kemmerich, Kropp and Garden hid behind a pile of rocks and waited for Himmelstoss to arrive. Since he couldn't find a suitable sack, Lu Mingfei brought a bed sheet to use as a sack. "Garden...is your information reliable? Why hasn't Himmelstoss come yet?" Lu Mingfei and his companions were shivering with cold while hiding behind rocks. They couldn't help but ask Garden, because this information was provided by Garden. Garden is also a classmate of Lu Mingfei, but he is not in the same barracks with Lu Mingfei. However, he should be the one who hates Himmelstoss the most in all the barracks. Garden has enuresis and can't help wetting the bed at night, but Himmelstoss thinks Garden just pees on the bed because he is too lazy to go to the toilet at night. Himmelstoss even specially found another recruit from another barracks who suffered from enuresis like Garden and let him sleep with Garden. The barracks were all bunk beds, two layers high and the bed surfaces were made of wire mesh. Himmelstoss put the two men together, one on the upper bunk and the other on the lower bunk. The person sleeping below, of course, had enough for him. The next night, he changed the positions and the person who slept on the lower bunk moved to the upper bunk, so that he could take revenge. This was Himmelstoss's method of self-education. This method seems to be very good, but the premise is wrong. Neither of them wet the bed because they are lazy. In the end, one of them would have to sleep on the floor. On this cold night, the floor was so cold that it could freeze a person. So when Lu Mingfei and his team proposed this plan, Garden was the most active in finding out about Himmelstoss. "My...information is definitely correct...I paid a whole pack of cigarettes for this information!" Although Garden was shivering from the cold, his tone was extremely firm. "Here they come!" Klopp interrupted the conversation.
At this time, a staggering figure came from the end of the path, singing an unpleasant song. "one person?" "Yes! One person!" When they saw Himmelstoss was the only one walking on the path, everyone was excited, and they were all waiting for what was to happen next. When Himmelstoss staggered to the stone where Lu Mingfei and the others were hiding, Lu Mingfei jumped out like a nimble cheetah. The ten weeks of torture were not in vain. He was no longer the weakling who had to gasp for air after running a kilometer. The bed sheet covered Himmelstoss's head like a pocket. Himmelstoss didn't know what was happening and stood there in a daze. At this time Paul came over and knocked Himmelstoss to the ground with one punch. Himmelstoss fell to the ground and let out a shrill howl. "Who are you? How dare you attack a corporal!" Kemmerich also came over and sat on Himmelstoss's head. Himmelstoss's shouting instantly turned into whimpering. Kemmerich's cute baby face turned red with excitement. Garden took off Himmelstoss's pants, then pulled out his belt from his waist. The copper-headed belt hit Himmelstoss's buttocks, leaving a clear blood mark. Garden had a ferocious look on his face as he whipped Himmelstoss's buttocks over and over again. Others held Himmelstoss down to prevent him from moving. Finally, several people took turns whipping Himmelstoss with belts. Because Himmelstoss's head was pressed down, he couldn't even scream, and could only make a small whimper. The whimper sounded particularly miserable in the dark night, but Lu Mingfei and the others felt a little relieved. (End of this chapter)
