Chapter 210: World War II Shipwreck
Camp Commander Bai was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood what I meant, where is this? There must be more corpses inside. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoSure enough, as we slowly went deeper, many more bodies were found, all of them in the same posture as before death, and their faces were painless.
When we saw this tragic scene in front of us, our hearts were extremely shocked, all 78 officers and men of the whole boat were killed, and none of them survived. The most bizarre thing is that the facilities inside the boat are intact, and there are no signs of explosions, collisions, or vandalism.
Judging from the appearance of the bodies of the 78 officers and men, there were no external injuries, no signs of violent struggle and struggle, and the appearance of the dead was very peaceful, and many of them died at their posts.
Although the instruments on the submarine showed that the time had not stopped, and the watch hands of the victims were working normally, I can still be sure that the time of their death must have been 14:45 on the 15th of last month.
The matter was so serious that Battalion Commander Bai and the others did not know what to do next, so he had no choice but to report to his superiors, "After repeated confirmation by search and rescue personnel, the bodies of all 78 officers and men on the submarine have been found, and none of them have survive......d."
After that, Battalion Commander Bai received instructions from his superiors to tow the wrecked submarine back to the naval base, properly handle the aftermath of the 78 martyrs, and strictly investigate the cause of the accident.
The submarine has finally been found, and our mission has been successfully completed, but so far there has been no reasonable official explanation for the cause of the submarine crash, especially the real cause of death of the 78 officers and men.
On the way back, Battalion Commander Bai told us that he had just read the logbook on the submarine, and that the tragedy should have happened on the 15th of last month, because the contents of it ended that day.
Uncle Li said with a heavy face, "If they had ignored the distress signal and continued to complete the training plan, maybe the tragedy would not have happened." ”
But the white battalion commander said sadly, "For soldiers, it is a dead trap, and no one can get around it, because we will not die without saving anyone...... But how did they get sacrificed? There's a reason, right?"
This is also the answer I want to find, the cause of death has never been a problem with me, but for these 78 heroic souls, I can't give any answer.
"I can't give you the answer, it seems that the only way to go back is to let the forensic doctor investigate, but one thing I am sure of is that they did not suffer much before they died, and the death happened almost within a minute or two, so that they themselves did not feel that death was coming...... sacrificed. "I'll be honest.
Upon returning to the naval base, we were quickly removed from the search and rescue ship, and everything was to be kept in the highest secrecy until the matter was investigated. Because we signed a confidentiality agreement before, it was only the soldiers who came to find Uncle Li who sent us out of the naval base in a low-key manner.
Before leaving, they once again expressed their heartfelt feelings to us, and reminded us that we must keep this operation strictly confidential.
After leaving the naval base, they gave the three of us the phones they had taken away. The first thing Uncle Li did when he got his mobile phone was to use it to search the Internet for shipwrecks or disappearances of merchant ships in that sea area in the past few years.
Soon, a bizarre merchant ship distress incident that happened 7 years ago jumped in front of our eyes......
Seven years ago, a civilian rescue team in charge of the rescue in the Yellow Sea received a distress signal that a large cargo ship full of cargo was in distress in a deep sea area, and the people on board asked the rescue agency for help, indicating that their cargo ship had leaked water, and the hull had tilted, and the ship could sink at any time.
However, when the rescuers rushed to the area of the incident according to the coordinates provided in the distress signal, they did not find the cargo ship in distress. It stands to reason that when they receive a call for help and organize people to rescue them, the time is not very long, and it is impossible not to even see the shadow of the ship?
Because they suspected that the cargo ship was sinking, they then transferred underwater sonar search equipment to search for the sunken ship in the nearby waters, but they didn't expect them to find a large cargo ship on the bottom of the sea.
There are many reefs where the cargo ship sank, and it is estimated that it was caused by a water leak after hitting the reef. The frogmen in charge of the search found the bodies of 25 crew members in the wreck, but what is surprising is that the bodies were dressed in World War II American military uniforms.
And the materials on the ship are even more amazing, they are all guns, ammunition and necessary materials and supplies for the war. After many investigations, it was learned that this was actually an American shipwreck 70 years ago.
At that time, the cargo ship was full of supplies and was ready to come to support the Nationalist government at that time, but when the cargo ship sailed to the Yellow Sea, it suddenly encountered a typhoon and sank, and among the 25 crew members on board, there were 1 Chinese interpreter and 2 Kuomintang officers.
At that time, all the personnel involved in the salvage were dumbfounded, obviously it was a distress signal received yesterday, how could a 70-year-old shipwreck be salvaged? Because the incident was so weird, the official statement finally erased the distress signal.
The coordinates of the salvage position of the cargo ship are also given in detail on the Internet, which is exactly the set of coordinates that led the submarine to the wreckage site. And there are a few netizens who left messages below saying that in fact, many local fishermen know about this.
But experienced fishermen know that it is a group of ghost signals, if you go to the rescue, there is a chance that there will be no return!
After checking these information, the three of us all looked at each other, and Uncle Li said again and again: "I said why is that ship so dilapidated, it turns out that it was the Yankee's ship 70 years ago!"
Speaking of the ship, I suddenly remembered something, "Uncle Li, do you remember the sign on that ship?"
Uncle Li shook his head and said, "I was so nervous at the time, how could I have the time to pay attention to this!"
But Ding Yi interjected: "It should be a strange-looking faucet ......"
"That's right, I look like a dragon's head, but why would an American cargo ship use such an oriental logo?" I asked, puzzled.
Ding Yi naturally didn't know this point, but Uncle Li flicked my head and said, "Who said that there are no dragons in foreign countries, but their dragons are all dragons with wings and can breathe fire! Okay, this matter is far away, the matter of that ghost ship is not something we can control, remember, keep your mouth in order, don't run the train with your mouth full of bragging rights!"
I knew what he meant, so I said to him stupidly, "Don't worry, my dear uncle, as long as you don't drink too much and talk nonsense, Ding Yi and I will definitely not say it!"
Originally, I don't have any friends now, who can I brag with? Besides, even if I say it, someone will believe it?
