Luo Ying did not look at the explosion point of the rocket behind him. The SVD in his hand was already aimed at the enemy who had just loaded the rocket. He pulled the trigger. "Bang!" There was a gunshot, and the bullet penetrated from the center of the rocket soldier's eyebrows. After it was shot out, it directly blew the rocket soldier's head away with a strong rotational force.
The deputy shooter who was loading the rocket soldier at the back was covered in blood and brains from his comrade. Just as he opened his mouth to vomit, a bullet passed through his neck. The torn neck bones could not support his weight. His head tilted to the side and fell to the ground.
After killing the two hidden rocket soldiers, Luo Ying began to use the scope to look for other rocket soldiers.
There were about two platoons of miscellaneous monkeys who came to attack the position this time. Seven or eight of them were killed by Luo Ying's snipers, and several more were shot dead by other soldiers. A dozen of them were left behind. The body was removed.
After the battle, company commander Wang Shengli inspected the position but did not take out his notepad. With Luo Ying's advance warning of the monkeys' sneak attack, there were no casualties among the soldiers, only a few who were blown up by rockets. The gravel broke their skin, and health worker Hu Jinfu cleaned their wounds without even bandaging them.
"Thanks to Platoon Commander Luo for detecting their movements in advance in this battle and killing two more rocket soldiers, our losses were minimized. I have recorded your contribution and will report it to the battalion headquarters when we return."
Company Commander Wang Shengli praised Luo Ying at the post-war meeting. It was his greatest wish that the company suffered no casualties in this battle. His mood also improved a lot and he stopped swearing.
After the meeting, Luo Ying returned to the third row of defense lines. The soldiers had renovated and reinforced the trenches and were sitting on the ground, leaning on the edge of the trenches, smoking and chatting to release the psychological pressure after the war.
It was almost dusk now, the sun was not as harsh as it was at noon, and there was still a slight breeze blowing after the rain. Although the wind carried the smell of blood, the soldiers had long been used to it and felt a little comfortable.
"Platoon leader, get it! It's starting to burn!" Liu Erwa saw Luo Ying coming back and took out a box of crumpled Shilin cigarettes from his trouser pocket. He picked one from the box that was not broken but was a little twisted. Throw the cigarette to him.
Luo Ying took the cigarette and leaned against the edge of the trench. He took the cigarette from the mouth of Zhang Baoguo who was smoking, held it to the fire, and took a deep breath. The nicotine and tar after burning the tobacco were inhaled into his lungs. It came out of his nose again, stimulating his nerve center.
After fighting several battles, the only ones who survived were the veterans, while the new recruits died in the first round of battle.
Luo Ying was able to survive on the battlefield from a new recruit because he listened to the combat experience imparted by his grandfather, father, and uncle, and also experienced it himself. It was considered lucky that he did not suffer serious injuries.
"Platoon leader, after the war, Goose wants to retire and go home. Goose is from the countryside and has no education. There is no use in staying in the army. The main reason is that Goose doesn't want my mother to suffer in farming. Goose wants to go back and help me farm. , The younger brothers and sisters in Goose’s family are too young to help, so Mother Goose is doing all the work alone.”
Shaanxi child Zhang Baoguo took a puff of cigarette, and with firm eyes in his young eyes, he told Luo Ying what was on his mind.
Luo Ying knew that Zhang Baoguo's father passed away early. He still had two younger brothers and a younger sister at home. His mother had a very difficult life with several children, which was why Zhang Baoguo wanted to demobilize.
Luo Ying also knew that after demobilization, rural soldiers in the army returned to their hometowns with demobilization fees. Unlike urban soldiers, the Ministry of Armed Forces would arrange jobs after demobilization.
"Okay! I remember you are 21 years old this year! You have been a soldier for three years. If you have any difficulties at home, please write to me."
"Goose knows. Goose also wants to see Tiananmen and take a photo. No one in Goose's village has been to Beijing. If they go back with the photos, they will definitely envy Goose." Zhang Baoguo said with hope in his eyes. His eyes looked as if he was holding a photo for the villagers to pass around.
Luo Ying could understand Zhang Baoguo's mood at this time. He had lived in the capital since he was a child and had long been tired of seeing the major scenic spots and historic sites in the capital. But for outsiders, especially those in rural areas in the mountainous areas, the capital was more important to them. It seemed so far out of reach.
After having something to eat in the evening, Luo Ying arranged the open and hidden sentries, then went to the crater in front of the cave, took out two spiritual stones and sat down cross-legged to practice.
During this period of time, he searched several places, but he still felt that the spiritual energy in the crater was stronger. Coupled with spiritual stone cultivation, he felt that the spiritual energy in his body had increased a lot, and he was probably about to break through the second level of the energy gathering stage.
After breaking through to the second level of Qi Gathering Stage, he can use some minor spells, such as fireball, wind control, clear water, wind blade...
Although he has not yet learned these few small spells, he has long been proficient in using the spells. However, he cannot use them at the first level of the gas gathering stage. The main reason is that the spiritual power in his body is too little and cannot be used at all. The spiritual power required for the spell.
In the middle of the night, Luo Ying replaced the secret sentry to observe the enemy's situation. Since he started practicing, his energy has doubled. He doesn't need to sleep at all every day. He only needs to run the exercises for a few cycles, and his mental fatigue will be relieved. All day long.
One night a few days later, Luo Ying came to the bomb crater again. He felt that he could break through to the second level of Qi gathering today. When he practiced last night, he felt that the spiritual power in his body began to collide with the blocked acupuncture points, but then it was dawn. , the soldiers all got up to take care of their personal hygiene, and he stopped practicing.
Tonight, he deliberately took out a hundred spiritual stones from the ring to provide him with spiritual energy to break through the realm.
There are about 30,000 to 40,000 spirit stones in Shen Beiyue's ring, as well as some pills. Luo Ying doesn't know the function of these pills, and he doesn't dare to take them indiscriminately. He just uses the spirit stones to practice.
After more than half a month, he has already memorized the contents on the jade slip in the ring by heart, and has a rough understanding of what the world of cultivation is like. In that world, there are not only various pills used in cultivation, but also many There are also various spiritual weapons, various attack talismans, various spiritual herbs and weapon refining materials.
Shen Beiyue's jade bottle did not have the function of the elixir marked on it. It may be that he was familiar with the uses of the elixir in the jade bottle and did not need to mark it. However, Luo Ying, a novice, knew nothing and it was his first time to come into contact with elixirs. Medicine, naturally you don’t dare to take these elixirs indiscriminately.
Holding two spiritual stones in his hand, he ran the Hongmeng Dao Jue technique and absorbed the spiritual energy in the spiritual stones to practice.
As more and more spiritual energy was refined in his body, it began to continuously impact new meridians and acupoints. Luo Ying accelerated the operation of his exercises to refine the spiritual energy he breathed into his body.
"Crack!" There was a soft sound in the body, and Luo Ying felt that the spiritual power in his body suddenly increased. A spiritual power several times more powerful than the first level of Qi Gathering flowed through the new meridians and acupoints, one by one. The orifice was filled with spiritual power, and it started to circulate along the new meridians.
The second level of Qi Gathering was broken through, and a stink came out of his body again. Luo Ying knew the impurities discharged from his body without looking. He raised his hand to type out a series of unskilled spells, but he couldn't connect them. He thought The clear water technique he used failed again and again. He looked up at the sky and saw that the east had begun to shine. In order not to be suspected by his comrades, he had to rub the dirt off his body with his hands.
