Chapter 580 Shipwreck

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

The water depth of the sea area that Yang Jing chose today is quite good, exceeding 200 meters. However, not far east of Yang Jing's anchor, there is a raised ridge, and the armed transport ship lies flat on this ridge.

The distance between the ridge and the sea is only sixty or seventy meters, so the sunken armed transport ship sank above the ridge. Even without the help of lights, Yang Jing can see the ship clearly after getting closer.

The reason why it is confirmed that this is a Japanese armed transport ship is that although the ship has sunk for more than seventy years, the ship's ship's ship's ship number can still be seen clearly. The name of this ship is "First Xingxing Maru".

Moreover, the double-equipped 120mm cannon can also be seen at the stern of the ship. On the decks on both sides of the hull, the rusted 25mm rapid-fire cannon can also be seen.

This weapon and equipment were the standard equipment for Japanese armed transport ships during World War II. If the ship was complete, its length should be more than 80 meters and its displacement should be close to 3,000 tons. Unfortunately, the entire bow of the ship had disappeared. Yang Jing estimated that the ship should have been bombed by the US-Australia dive bomber at that time, and then the ammunition depot below the main gun of the bow was hit, and the ammunition exploded, directly blowing the entire bow away, which caused the ship to sink rapidly.

The mortal explosion of the ammunition depot is a very terrifying thing. Not to mention such a thin-skinned and large-filled transport ship, even a battleship, if it catches the mortal explosion, it can directly sink a battleship with a displacement of more than 30,000 tons.

The entire bow of this "First Xingxing Wan" was blown away. Apart from the ammunition depot, Yang Jing really couldn't think of any other way to make the ship look like this.

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 Japanese Emperor announced his unconditional surrender.

The naval battle was a battle between two Japanese armed transport ships and two Russian submarines. One of the two Japanese armed transport ships, that is, the one that made achievements, was named "Second Xinxingmaru".

The ship should be a sister ship with the armed transport ship that sank on the bottom of the sea in front of him.

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

It was on August 22, 1945 that the Soviet submarines L-19 and L-12 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.

Due to the ownership of the Kuril Islands, the Soviet army was preparing to carry out a landing battle to seize the island. On this day, the two submarines of the Soviet Pacific Fleet encountered two Japanese transport ships.

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

After the two Soviet submarines were successfully ambushed, they continued sailing until they saw a larger cargo ship approaching the port of Hokkaido through the periscope. This was another Japanese transport ship "Second Emerging Maru", which was transporting Japanese expatriates on Sakhalin Island, but this ship was actually an armed transport ship belonging to the Japanese Navy, and can also be called a naval ad hoc gunboat.

At that time, the "Second Xingjian" ship was carrying 780 Japanese soldiers.

The Soviet submarine quickly fired torpedoes and successfully hit the "Second Xingmao". But when the Soviet army thought that the ship had lost its resistance, in order to save the torpedo, two Soviet submarines floated from the sea to the sea and were preparing to use the artillery brought by the submarine to deal with the transport ship, they were suddenly fired by four 120mm caliber naval guns installed by the Second Xingmao and some 25mm machine guns.

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

In other words, in the naval battle, which was claimed to be the end of the last World War II, the Japanese killed an old Russian IХ-бис submarine with an armed transport ship.

It was the "Second Emerging Pill" that created this feat.

But the armed transport ship in front of him is called the "First Xingxing Maru". Maybe it is really the sister ship of the transport ship that sunks the old Russian submarine.

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

This is the first time Yang Jing has seen a sunken transport ship at the bottom of the sea. Although he is a little curious, Yang Jing is not ready to carefully investigate the transport ship. After all, this ship has been sank here for so many years, and I guess he has been investigated by many people for a long time.

But just as Yang Jing was about to leave here, he used the Sky Eye skill in a terrible way. As a result, it didn't matter. Yang Jing actually found a faint green treasure light in the ship.

This discovery made Yang Jing pause involuntarily, and he was not sure whether he was confused.

During World War II, Japan searched for supplies in Southeast Asia and even Guinea. From crude oil to iron ore to various precious metals, the Japanese were like locusts passing through the border, plundering whatever they caught and wished they could dig three feet into the ground.

But similarly, Japan's behavior back then was well known, so salvage companies all over the world attached great importance to Japan's shipwrecks during World War II, especially transport ships.

This ship was definitely sunk during World War II. It has been sank for more than 70 years. Moreover, it is not a deep water area. The water depth of the shipwreck is only sixty or seventy meters. It is estimated that this ship has been plundered for countless times.

But why are there still treasure lights on this ship?

Yang Jing used the Tianyan skill again without believing in the evil, but found that a faint light appeared.

However, from the location where the treasure light emits, it is not in the bridge or deck cabin, but in the pressurized water tank at the bottom of the ship.

This discovery made Yang Jing a little interested. It was obvious that the transport ship might have been preparing to arrive at Lorengao, or maybe it had just left Lorengao, but no matter what, the ship failed to reach its destination successfully, but was sunk by an enemy plane.

And since there is a treasure light that can be revealed, it means that the ship is loaded with some valuable things.

Yang Jing looked at the meter of the compressed air bottle and found that the compressed air in the bottle had been used for half of it, and he could last for at most twenty minutes. So he thought about it and floated directly to the sea.

Although he has storage space, Yang Jing has not had the special ability to breathe underwater, and he has never done it before when changing the compressed air bottle underwater, so he can only float up to the sea level and replace the compressed air bottle.

The open-headed sports boat was parked at the sea level not far away, with no ghosts around it. Yang Jing stepped on the water and took out a full can of compressed air bottle from the storage space. After changing it, he pulled out a deep-submersible lithium battery lamp, put it on his head and plunged into the water, quickly swimming towards the shipwreck below.

This time, Yang Jing did not stay outside anymore, but swam directly along the big hole that was blown open on the bow of the ship.

Shipwrecks have always been a paradise for various marine creatures, especially small creatures. Yang Jing had just gotten into a little while, and squids, octopus and other fish were frightened and ran around. Those squids that could put "ink" had eliminated a lot of black juice one after another, making it impossible to see anything around.

Squids also have some octopuses and fish, but they like to parasitize in shipwrecks. When Yang Jing entered, he was like throwing a stone into the dry toilet during the summer days. These fish were all as vast as mung bean flies.

Yang Jing had no choice but to do this. Fortunately, the natural skills could see the treasure light through these sea waters dyed black by "ink", which allowed Yang Jing to slowly groping into the interior of the transport ship.

After arriving inside the ship, there are much less squid, octopus, etc. For fish, the inside of this shipwreck is an absolute maze. Although they are born and grown here, if they dare to enter the inside of the hull, they will be confused and will not find a way out and eventually starve to death.

Therefore, some relatively well-preserved shipwrecks have few fish.

Because Yang Jing swam in from the broken part of the bow, he didn't have to look for a way down from the deck. He just swam forward along the bottom cabin and reached the position where the treasure light emitted near the stern of the ship.

The water pressure tank of the "First Xingxing Pill" was not exploded during the ammunition explosion, so Yang Jing could not directly enter the water pressure tank on the bottom floor, and could only find the entrance to the water pressure tank from the previous floor cabin.

After swimming forward along the bottom cabin for about forty meters, Yang Jing suddenly felt that a fish was gone around him. Although there were very few fish living inside the cabin, it was not that there were absolutely no one.

But that's what it is here. As I swim, I can't even see a single fish.

This situation immediately made Yang Jing feel excited.

"Are there some large carnivorous fish living around here? Otherwise, why don't those small fish appear here? But how can large carnivorous fish live in such a small cabin...Oh, dazzle..."
