Chapter 124 Something happened! [Seeking monthly votes]

Three people, two flags, this strange and shocking combination seemed to be wrapped in a tremendous force, stomping heavily in the corridor of the regiment headquarters.

Every step he took seemed to tear through the floor of the corridor. The dull sound of his footsteps was like the beating of a war drum, attracting the attention of everyone wherever he went, as if drawn by a magnet.

The officer on duty was handling matters peacefully when he was suddenly startled by the unusual noise. He rushed out of the house as if he was bounced up.

His face was filled with astonishment, his eyes wide open, as if he wanted to engrave this incredible scene before him into his mind. He shouted at Gao Cheng at the top of his lungs, "Seventh Company Commander, what on earth are you trying to do?"

The voice, filled with panic and questioning, echoed in the empty corridor.

Gao Cheng, however, was like a cold-faced god of war, ignoring the calls of the officer on duty.

He exudes a chilling aura, a determination that will not tolerate disobedience and will not give up until his goal is achieved.

There was no hesitation in his steps, and each step was firm and powerful, as if he was rushing to the battlefield. With a "bang", he pushed open the door of the group newspaper editorial office with all his strength. The door shook violently and made a loud noise.

Secretary Zhang and Li Meng were busy and concentrating on their work, and were frightened by the sudden loud noise and the intruder.

Their eyes widened, their expressions frozen, and they stood there in a daze for a moment, as if they were under a spell.

This unprecedented scene made their minds go blank and they were completely stunned.

"Yes, what's the matter?" It took Secretary Zhang a long time to come back to his senses, but his voice had lost its usual calmness and was trembling unconsciously.

He pretended to be calm and looked at Gao Cheng panickingly, trying to find a hint of answer from Gao Cheng's cold face.

Gao Cheng's expression was as cold as ice, so cold that people dared not look directly at him.

He was calm and composed, yet he exuded a sense of oppression that could not be ignored.

He first reached out and grabbed the Youth League newspaper on the table, then slammed it hard on the table with a "bang", making the newspaper rustle.

Then, he saluted with a perfect military standard. His movements were vigorous and powerful, full of strength, as if he wanted to use this salute to tell the glory and perseverance of the 7th Steel Company.

Then, he suddenly took the flag of "Bloody Vanguard Steel Company 7" from Wu Liuyi's hand, and placed it on the table steadily but with a bit of anger, as if he was placing an extremely precious and sacred object that could not be desecrated.

After doing all this, he gritted his teeth and spoke each word, each word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, filled with questioning and anger: "Secretary Zhang, your newspaper reported that the Sixth Company won the first battle of Menglianggu?"

Secretary Zhang opened his mouth, but his throat seemed to be choked by something and he could not make a sound. He could only subconsciously nod slightly as a form of acknowledgment.

This simple action seemed to have exhausted all his strength.

Gao Cheng's eyes instantly turned red as if they were about to bleed. His tone was filled with grief and indignation. The pain and unwillingness contained in his voice made everyone present feel the waves in his heart. "In that battle, the 7th Steel Company sacrificed 57 brothers! 57 lives, lost just like that, in exchange for this flag, with these seven words clearly written on it!"

His voice grew louder and louder, until it was almost a roar, filled with remembrance of his fallen comrades and anger at the distortion of the truth.

Secretary Zhang was speechless for a moment. He knew in his heart that according to common sense, the "Bloody Pioneer" should indeed be given to the company that fought the first battle, but at this moment he was speechless. What he wanted was a gimmick.

What he wants is the publicity that can be published in the group newspaper. This honor will allow him to distort the truth.

It was just a reputation, an honor for a company that was about to be disbanded, and he was not afraid.

He was bullying this incomplete company. It was impossible for the staff of the regimental newspaper to be afraid of the grassroots company.

"Even if you fought your first battle well?" Secretary Zhang already knew Gao Cheng's intention, but he didn't want to face it. There was a hint of perfunctory and evasiveness in his tone, trying to get away with it.

This light sentence was like a fire, completely igniting Gao Cheng's long-accumulated anger.

The rage suddenly surged up and instantly enveloped him.

His face turned red and the veins on his forehead bulged like angry little snakes.

He took a step forward, clenched his fists, and shouted, "Even so? Okay? That's easy for you to say! Do you know what this means for the 7th Steel Company?"

The roar made the air in the house tremble.

Secretary Zhang was so frightened by Gao Cheng's momentum that his face turned pale, his eyes became evasive, and he took a step back in panic.

He was afraid, but he didn't want to give in, so he argued, "What do you want me to do? The newspapers have already been sent out!"

His voice was trembling slightly, but it also carried a determination to go all out and cheat until the end.

Gao Cheng's anger suddenly turned into calmness, and this calmness carried with it an oppressive feeling of impending storm.

Wu Liuyi and Gan Xiaoning made way for him behind him.

Feng Yuxiu slowly squeezed in from the back.

His eyes met the panicked Secretary Zhang.

This glance made Secretary Zhang's eyes flash with anger. He had already made up his mind that he must teach these defeated soldiers of the Seventh Company a lesson!
He had to vent his misery after being thrown into the ditch for a whole night on these people in front of him.

More and more people gathered around, and the anger between the two people grew stronger and stronger.

One is the anger that is about to go crazy, and the other is the inability to bear the other party's nonchalant tone.

"I demand that you make a public apology in this issue of the group newspaper!"

Li Meng blurted out: "That's funny, are you okay?" The tone was so sharp that it could corrode a person's bones, like a sharp blade full of poison, slashing straight towards Gao Cheng and the others, piercing the surrounding air so that a layer of ice instantly formed.

As soon as these words came out, Feng Yuxiu just smiled slightly, but Gao Cheng and Wu Liuyi, wow, at that moment they were like ignited barrels of high explosives, and flames suddenly shot up all over their bodies.

The gazes of the two men were like two cold and sharp blades, wrapped in raging anger, and shot towards Li Meng with a "swish". The anger in their eyes could devour people alive, and it was very intimidating. Li Meng was stared at by this gaze and trembled all over, as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on his head. The smile on his face froze instantly, and only then did he realize that he seemed to have poked a huge hornet's nest.

"You don't have to apologize."

Gao Cheng suppressed the rage that threatened to burst from his chest, gritted his teeth, and spoke word by word, each word seeming to be squeezed out from between his teeth, wrapped in an irresistible momentum. "I have two soldiers here. Whatever you want to compete in, grappling, mountaineering, climbing with bare hands, even if it's machine gun fire, we'll be there for you!"

His voice became increasingly high-pitched, and the ruthlessness of his desperate actions was practically written on his face. "If you think being rough is beneath your dignity, let's have a debate on the regiment's intranet. We'll discuss the army, navy, and air force, armored infantry tactics. As long as it's not about romantic sissies, I'll argue with you to the end!"

His eyes were wide open, almost popping out, staring at Secretary Zhang, as if to say, if this matter is not clarified clearly today, he, Gao Cheng, will never let them go!
Secretary Zhang had never experienced such a scene and threat before. He instantly flew into a rage, his face flushing red like a ripe tomato. Like a thoroughly enraged fighting cock, he yelled at the top of his lungs, "Aren't you just trying to exploit this situation? It wasn't even my idea to disband. Go and argue with the person in charge!"

He shouted at the top of his lungs and waved his arms wildly, as if he wanted to tear the air in front of him apart, trying to use these exaggerated movements to cover up his inner panic and guilt.

Gao Cheng, however, was like a towering, indestructible mountain, standing still and refusing to give an inch.

He suddenly took a big step forward, his aura suddenly surging, like a volcano about to erupt, and said fiercely: "First, the Seventh Company has not disbanded yet!"

His voice was loud and firm, resonating in the air like a huge bell, making people's ears buzz. "Secondly, even if the group is disbanded, the name still exists. That's called a reorganization, not a disbandment!"

His eyes revealed a kind of unwavering dedication to the company's honor, a look that seemed to penetrate everything. "Third, this has nothing to do with whether the Seventh Company disbands or not!"

Every word he said was like a heavy hammer, hitting Secretary Zhang's heart with tremendous force, making him feel panicked.

Secretary Zhang was stunned and completely caught off guard by Gao Cheng's series of fierce counterattacks.

He avoided Gao Cheng's sharp gaze, his eyes as flustered as a headless fly, looking around, like a frightened bird, terrified and eagerly looking for help.

Finally, he spotted Staff Officer Huang and, like a drowning man grasping at a straw, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Staff Officer Huang, do you think they're taking advantage of this situation?"

There was a hint of forced calmness in the voice, full of a plea for help, and he was almost kneeling down to Chief of Staff Huang.

Staff Officer Huang rolled his eyes at him and said mercilessly, "I think you don't understand the rules of field company operations."

These words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Zhang's head, completely extinguishing the little spark of hope in his heart and making him feel very cold.

Li Meng saw the situation and knew that if the stalemate continued, the situation would only get worse and worse, and there was no way to clean it up. So she had no choice but to bite the bullet and said reluctantly, "Alright, alright, go back. We'll discuss it."

It would have been fine if Li Meng just said that, but his next action was like pouring fuel on the anger of Gao Cheng and the others, completely igniting them.

He got so angry that he stretched out his hand to push Gao Cheng. As soon as his blind hand touched Gao Cheng's shoulder, Wu Liuyi was like a flash of black lightning and made a quick move.

Wu Liuyi's hand just swung slightly, so fast that people couldn't follow it with their eyes. Li Meng felt as if his wrist was clamped tightly by a large iron clamp. The pain made him scream "Ah", and the sound could almost break through the roof.

His whole body hunched over uncontrollably, his facial features twisted together in severe pain, like a crumpled ball of paper.

When Officer Zhang saw this scene, his eyes immediately turned red with anxiety. Like a mad bull, he jumped up and down, shouting at the top of his voice, "What do you mean by this? Are you going to attack me?"

His voice was shrill and almost cracking with anger and tension.

Gao Cheng lowered his eyes and glanced coldly at Li Meng, who was screaming in pain. His voice was low but full of chilling power: "Seventh Company never likes to talk nonsense."

The tone was full of disdain for a weak scholar like Li Meng, and pride in the Seventh Company's style that was ingrained in their bones, as if to say that the people of the Seventh Company should either speak with strength or solve problems with their fists.

Secretary Zhang finally realized that the people in front of him were not at all impressed by the majesty of his regimental organization. His face instantly turned as pale as paper, his lips trembled slightly uncontrollably, and he was so scared that he could hardly stand.

Although Gao Cheng had no intention of taking further action, he was completely enraged by this series of provocations and unreasonableness. He was like an active volcano about to erupt, exuding a terrifying aura.

He frantically grabbed something in his hand, as if to defend himself, and what he grabbed was actually a seal stone.

He gripped the seal stone tightly, his knuckles turning white from excessive force. The stone in his hand seemed to be a deadly weapon that would turn into the honor of the Seventh Company in the next second.

At this moment, the air was filled with a tense atmosphere that was about to explode, making people breathless, as if a fierce conflict that would turn the world upside down would break out in the next second. Everyone's heart was in their throat, waiting for the storm to break out completely.

"Company commander..."

Feng Yuxiu's voice sounded behind Gao Cheng.

"What?" Gao Cheng just turned around.

A figure rushed out from behind him.

The next second, Feng Yuxiu raised his right foot and kicked towards Director Zhang.

The tendons compressed by this kick exploded and bounced back.

-

"Captain, something big has happened!"

Inside the regiment office, Director Bai knocked on the door with a trembling voice.
