If it weren't for Qin Feng leading the team, their compatriots might not have even had a chance to retreat.
Excellent! The country has such talented individuals, it's truly awe-inspiring. Looking at Qin Feng, Gao Yun's heart was filled with nothing but admiration.
Those in the cabin who sensed they might be safe emerged, and upon seeing the figure standing on the bridge, they couldn't help but applaud.
Clap, clap, clap…
Instantly, the entire bridge was filled with deafening applause. Everyone on the warship looked at Qin Feng with fervent eyes.
This was not just admiration for strength, but gratitude towards a lifesaver.
For everyone knew that if it weren't for this young soldier taking action to destroy the enemy submarine, they would all likely be facing enemy fire right now.
He saved them all. He deserved all the credit. Everyone present looked at Qin Feng, their emotions stirred, clapping vigorously to express their heartfelt gratitude.
Clap, clap, clap…
The applause continued, lasting for almost a full minute without ceasing.
However, Qin Feng, standing before them, did not look pleased despite the ovation.
To be honest, Qin Feng was deeply uncomfortable with such a spectacle. His principle had always been to remain as low-key as possible, and he did not wish to face this.
He usually would have slipped away if given the chance, but it seemed impossible now.
Sigh!
Everyone says that people fear fame as much as pigs fear fattening. It seems this saying holds true. Nevertheless, they had truly escaped from the jaws of death this time.
Qin Feng pondered for a moment, glancing at the crowd before turning to Gao Yun and reminding him, "Captain Gao, it's too early to celebrate. The enemy was clearly well-prepared this time. Since they dared to send a submarine to attack us, they will likely dispatch a second and a third. This is just the beginning."
Hearing Qin Feng's words, Gao Yun understood that he might not be accustomed to such attention. He patted Qin Feng's shoulder and said,
"Don't worry. Just moments ago, our country's submarines entered this area. Those damned scoundrels have lost their only chance. Everyone is safe now, and it's all thanks to you."
"So, as I said, I will submit a commendation for you to the higher-ups when we return."
As he spoke, Gao Yun looked at Qin Feng with genuine sincerity.
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng no longer demurred. To refuse further would be affectation. He walked out alongside Captain Gao Yun.
In no time, they arrived together on the warship's deck.
Looking out, they could see various objects floating to the surface on the distant horizon. These were naval items, including life jackets, daily necessities… and even striking wreckage of bodies.
Seeing these items continuously rising from the seabed and scattering with the waves, Gao Yun's expression turned grim. At a glance, he recognized them as belonging to the people and equipment of the submarine.
The next second, he looked at Qin Feng beside him and said coldly, "Look at those things ahead. Those fellows are truly shameless, attacking us with a submarine. But thankfully, you helped us."
As he spoke, Gao Yun's gaze towards Qin Feng was filled with fervent gratitude.
He knew very well that if this young man hadn't intervened and destroyed the enemy submarine, their survival in this vast ocean would have been uncertain.
What surprised him even more was that Qin Feng, a marine, understood naval warfare so well and managed to execute such a brilliant maneuver, destroying the enemy submarine with two anti-submarine torpedoes.
This action appeared simple, but it was incredibly perilous. A slight miscalculation could have rendered the torpedoes useless, potentially leading to their annihilation.
What kind of strength did Qin Feng possess to be so confident in attacking a submarine? Gao Yun couldn't even fathom it, but he also knew Qin Feng was not one to act rashly.
Gao Yun was utterly awestruck by Qin Feng's prowess. He even mused that if Qin Feng were to join the navy, their future would undoubtedly be even more brilliant, and he would likely create many more miracles.
With this thought, Gao Yun grinned and said to Qin Feng, "Brother, have you considered a career in our navy? Why not join us? With you here, we wouldn't fear submarines at all. One torpedo from you solves the problem, how satisfying is that!"
Hearing Gao Yun's words, Qin Feng couldn't help but roll his eyes. Good heavens, he was trying to poach him!
Qin Feng gave Gao Yun a nonchalant glance and said irritably, "Captain Gao, you overestimate me. Being able to hit the submarine was mainly due to the tracking and homing capabilities of the anti-submarine torpedoes, and it was also a matter of good luck. If we hadn't sunk them just now, we would have bid farewell to this world."
To refuse, Qin Feng resorted to talking about luck.
However, luck was indeed a mysterious thing. Sometimes you could be lucky enough to find money on the street, and other times you could be so unlucky as to choke on water. It was truly inscrutable.
Gao Yun did not get angry upon hearing Qin Feng's words. He smiled faintly, gazing out at the distant sea, and said, "Haha… but don't we have an old saying? Luck is also a part of strength."
Qin Feng remained silent, offering only a slight smile as he too looked towards the sea.
But Gao Yun had no intention of giving up. He continued, "That's not right. If that's the case, I need to break it down for you… analyze it. I was actually observing the enemy's course of action the whole time. When you fired the anti-submarine torpedoes, we had only just detected their arrival via sonar. Given the situation at that moment, it was extremely perilous, and we dared not act rashly. To our surprise, you directly engaged with such a well-planned strategy."
"You first fired one torpedo, and although the enemy successfully evaded it, this outcome seemed to be within your predictions. So, while they were evading, you decisively fired the second torpedo."
"At that time, the enemy was busy evading and had no idea you would be so bold as to fire again. And the second torpedo just happened to appear on their evasion course, leading to a direct hit."
"Don't say they didn't anticipate it. I believe even if they had predicted you would attack, they would have had no time to react because you gave them absolutely no time to do so. Moreover, with the torpedo coming head-on, how could they possibly escape?"
"Hahaha… that scene was incredibly spectacular. You wouldn't believe how many people were glued to the screen, silently urging for a hit. Especially when you struck their submarine, all the naval soldiers on the bridge erupted."
"They were so excited…"
