戰時與日軍運輸艦同沉洋底的澳軍“雲雀支隊”大兵
——戰時澳軍“雲雀支隊”的命運(續三)
太平洋戰爭期間,澳軍在新不列顛島的亞包守備隊——“雲雀支隊”死亡最慘重的一次,當屬作為戰俘被日軍船運中國海南島做苦工途中,於1942年7月1日淩晨,在菲律賓呂宋島外洋附近海麵,被美軍潛艇一舉擊沉的日軍運輸艦“蒙得維的亞丸”號,艦上裝載的852名澳軍,全部遇難。
這850多名澳軍,分屬於雲雀支隊的主力第22步兵營及所有的附屬輔助部隊,包括要塞部隊、炮兵、新幾內亞誌願兵團、通訊部隊,甚至空軍的地勤人員等等,而且全部是士兵階級,即準尉以下的士兵,包括軍士、炮手及各類技術兵等等,因為日軍在裝運澳軍時,就已經將他們的官和兵分開,另船分運。

在神秘失蹤81年後,二戰期間被魚雷擊中的一艘日本船的殘骸在菲律賓附近被發現,船上有1000多人,大部分是澳大利亞戰俘。這是澳洲史上最大海上悲劇之一。

水下考古協會“寂靜世界”(Silentworld)基金會周六4月22日宣布,蒙特維多丸(Montevideo Maru)號於4月18日被發現在距離菲律賓呂宋島110公裏的南中國海4000多米深處。
寂靜世界基金會說,他們花了五年多計劃尋找這艘船。搜索工作於4月6日開始,采用聲納水下無人機,經過12天的搜索找到了這條沉船。
蒙特維多丸號是一艘混合貨船,於1942年7月1日被美國潛艇"鱘魚"號擊沉,美軍"鱘魚"號船員不知道這艘日本船正將美國盟軍澳大利亞的戰俘運到日本占領的中國海南島。
寂靜世界探險隊技術主管羅傑-特納(Roger Turner)船長在電話中說:“我們相信這艘船是被兩枚魚雷擊中的”。"第一枚魚雷擊沉了它,第二枚魚雷炸毀了部分艙室。

羅傑-特納補充說,這艘船被一分為二,船頭和船尾都躺在海床上,相距大約500米。
根據寂靜世界基金會的統計,這艘船上的遇難者約有1060人,來自14個國家,包括在新幾內亞拉包爾(Rabaul)戰役中被俘的979名澳大利亞人,其中至少有850名軍人。
蒙特維多丸號上的其他死者還包括挪威貨船赫斯坦(Herstein)號的33名水手,他們也在拉包爾被日軍俘虜,以及大約20名日本警衛和船員。
據同一消息來源,受害者還有英國、丹麥、愛沙尼亞、芬蘭、愛爾蘭、荷蘭、新西蘭、所羅門群島、瑞典和美國等國的國民。
寂靜世界基金會說,蒙特維多丸號的殘骸位於比泰坦尼克號沉船更深的地方,將不會受到幹擾。出於對遇難者家屬的尊重,任何物品或人類遺骸都不會被移走。
