Chapter 578 Shipwreck
This ship is different from the sunken warships that Yang Jing saw in the waters near Lorengao Port before. From the appearance of this ship, it looks more like an armed transport ship.

The water depth of the sea area Yang Jing chose today is quite acceptable, exceeding 200 meters. However, not far from the east of where Yang Jing anchored, there is a raised sea ridge, and the armed transport ship lies flat on it. On a sea ridge.

The distance between the sea ridge and the sea surface was only six to seventy meters, so the sunken armed transport ship sank on the sea ridge. Even without the help of lights, Yang Jing could see the ship clearly after getting close.

The reason why it can be determined that this is an armed transport ship of the Japanese is because although the ship has sunk on the seabed for more than 70 years, the ship's number can still be seen clearly. The First Shining Maru".

Moreover, the twin 120mm guns can be seen on the stern of this ship, and the rusted and disfigured 25mm rapid-fire guns can also be seen on the decks on both sides of the ship.

This kind of weaponry is the standard equipment of Japanese armed transport ships during World War II. If this ship is complete, it should be more than 80 meters long and have a displacement close to [-] tons.But it is a pity that the entire bow of the ship has disappeared. Yang Jing estimated that the ship should have been bombed by the dive bombers of the US-Australian coalition forces, and then the ammunition depot located under the main gun on the bow was hit. , The ammunition exploded, directly blowing up the entire bow of the ship, which caused the ship to sink rapidly.

The explosion of the ammunition depot is quite a terrifying thing, not to mention this kind of thin-skinned transport ship, even if it is a battleship, if it catches up with the explosion, it can directly make a battleship with a displacement of more than [-] tons Sunk directly.

The entire bow of the "First Shining Maru" was blown up. Apart from the explosion of the ammunition depot, Yang Jing really couldn't think of any other way to make the ship into such a miserable state.

However, this armed transport ship also reminded Yang Jing of a small naval battle that took place in the Kuril Islands in northern Japan after the Emperor of Japan announced his unconditional surrender.

That naval battle was a battle between two Japanese armed transport ships and Lao Maozi's two IХ-бис submarines. Among them, one of the two Japanese armed transport ships was the one that made great achievements. The name is called "Second Xinxing Pill".

That ship should be the sister ship of the armed transport ship that sank on the bottom of the sea.

Before and after the end of World War II, many little-known battles broke out between Lao Maozi and the Japanese army, including the last naval battle of World War II.

That was on August 1945, 8. The Soviet submarines L-22 and L-19 continued to conduct combat cruises in the waters near Hokkaido. At this time, it was already a week after Emperor Hirohito of Japan announced his unconditional surrender. .

Because of the issue of the ownership of the Thousand Islands, the Soviet army is preparing for a landing battle on the island at this time.On this day, the two submarines of the Soviet Pacific Fleet encountered two Japanese transport ships.

One of the two ships was a cargo ship called "Taito Maru". At that time, this ship was carrying 700 people. As a result, under the joint attack of two Soviet submarines, the ship did not even struggle, and was directly killed. Two torpedoes were sent to the bottom of the sea, and more than 700 passengers on board also returned to the bottom of the sea together.

After the two Soviet submarines successfully ambushed, they continued to sail until they saw a larger freighter approaching the port of Hokkaido through the periscope.This is another Japanese transport ship "Second Shinshin Maru" that is transporting Japanese nationals from Sakhalin Island, but this ship is actually an armed transport ship belonging to the Japanese Navy, and it can also be called a naval special gunboat.

At that time, the "Second Shinshin Maru" was carrying 780 Japanese soldiers.

The Soviet submarine quickly launched a torpedo and successfully hit the "Second Shinshinmaru", but when the Soviet army thought that the ship had lost its resistance, in order to save the torpedo, the two Soviet submarines moved from Floating to the surface of the sea, when preparing to use the artillery on the submarine to deal with the transport ship, it was suddenly shot violently by four 4mm naval guns and some 120mm machine guns installed by the Second Shinmaru.

The last two Soviet submarines dived quickly, leaving only large areas of heavy oil on the sea. The 2700-ton Second Shining Maru also struggled to return to the port, and it was not completely scrapped until 1966.However, the Soviet submarine L-19 never appeared again.

In other words, in the naval battle that was said to be the last battle of World War II, the Japanese relied on an armed transport ship to abruptly kill an old IХ-бис submarine.

It was the "Second Shining Maru" that achieved this feat.

But the armed transport ship in front of him is called "Dai Xinxing Maru", maybe it is really the sister ship of the transport ship that sank the Lao Maozi submarine.

It's just that this ship is obviously not as lucky as its sister ship, so it can only lie on the cold bottom of the sea now.

This was the first time Yang Jing saw a sunken transport ship on the seabed. Although he was a little curious, Yang Jing was not prepared to investigate the transport ship carefully.After all, this ship has been sunk here for so many years, and it is estimated that it has been probed by countless people.

But just when Yang Jing was about to leave here, he used the Sky Eye skill like a ghost, but it didn't matter, Yang Jing found a faint turquoise light in the ship.

This discovery made Yang Jing pause involuntarily, and he was not sure if he was delusional.

During World War II, the Japanese searched for supplies in Southeast Asia and even Guinea.From crude oil to iron ore to various precious metals, the little devils are like locusts passing through the border, grabbing whatever they want, wishing they could dig three feet into the ground.

But in the same way, the actions of the Japanese back then are well known, so salvage companies all over the world, large and small, attach great importance to the sunken ships of the Japanese during World War II, especially transport ships.

This ship was definitely sunk during World War II. It has been sunk for more than 70 years now, and this is not a deep water area. The water depth of the sunken ship is only 70 meters. It is estimated that this ship has been searched long ago. I don’t know. how many times.

But why does Baoguang still appear on this ship?

Unbelievably, Yang Jing used the Sky Eye skill again, only to find that there was indeed a faint precious light appearing.

It’s just that judging from the location where the precious light radiates, it’s not in the bridge or deck cabin, but in the pressurized water tank at the bottom of the ship.

This discovery aroused Yang Jing's interest.Obviously, this transport ship may have been preparing to come to Lorengar back then, or it may have just sailed from Lorengarh, but in any case, this ship failed to reach its destination successfully, but was killed by the enemy The plane was bombed and sunk.

And since precious light can be revealed, it means that this ship is loaded with some very valuable things.

Yang Jing looked at the instrumentation of the compressed air bottle, and found that more than half of the compressed air in the bottle had been used up, and he could last for another 10 or [-] minutes at most, so he thought about it and floated directly to the surface of the sea.

Although he has the storage space, Yang Jing has no special ability to breathe underwater, and he has never changed the compressed air bottle underwater, so he can only honestly float up to the sea level to replace the compressed air bottle.

The open-head sports boat was parked on the sea level not far away, and there was not even a ghost around.Yang Jing stepped on the water and took out a full can of compressed air bottle from the storage space. After replacing it, he pulled out a deep-diving lithium electric light, put it on his head and plunged into the water. Quickly swim towards the sunken ship below.

This time Yang Jing didn't stay outside anymore, but directly swam in along the big hole in the bow of the ship that was blown open.

Shipwrecks have always been a paradise for all kinds of marine life, especially small creatures. Yang Jing just got in a little bit, and big and small squids, small octopuses, and other fishes were frightened and ran around. "The squid drained a lot of black juice one after another, making it impossible to see anything around.

Squids and some octopuses and fishes like to parasitize in sunken ships. When Yang Jing entered, it was like throwing a stone into the latrine pit in the dog days. These fishes all fled around like mung bean flies. .

Regarding this, Yang Jing also had no choice. Fortunately, natural skills can see the precious light through the "ink"-stained sea water, which allows Yang Jing to slowly grope into the interior of this transport ship.

Once inside the ship, there are far fewer squids and octopuses.For fish, the interior of this shipwreck is an out-and-out labyrinth. Even though they were born and raised here, if they dare to venture into the interior of the hull, they will be so lost that they cannot find their way out. starved inside.

Therefore, some relatively well-preserved shipwreck interiors rarely contain fish.

Because Yang Jing swam in from the broken part of the bow, he didn't need to start from the deck to find his way down, as long as he swam forward along the cabin at the bottom, he could reach the position near the stern where the precious light emitted .

The pressurized water tank of the "First Shining Maru" was not blown apart in the ammunition explosion, so Yang Jing could not directly enter the bottom of the pressurized water tank, and could only find it from the cabin on the upper floor. Entrance to the ballast tank.

After swimming forward about 40 meters along the bottom cabin, Yang Jing suddenly felt that there was not a single fish around.Although there are very few fish living in the cabin, it does not mean that there are absolutely no fish.

But that's how it is here, and I can't even see a single fish while swimming.

This situation immediately raised Yang Jing's heart.

"Could it be that there are some large carnivorous fish living around here? Otherwise, why don't those small fish appear here? But how can large carnivorous fish survive in such a small cabin? Oh shit!"

Yang Jing thought in his heart before, but he cursed out the last four words directly, and a series of bubbles gushed out of his mouth immediately, even choking him.
