Speaking of multi-functional military auxiliary weapons, you might immediately think of the Swiss Army Knife. It is called the Universal Knife. It is a folding knife that contains Swiss Army Knife and other tools on a knife. Because the Swiss Army equips soldiers with such utility knives. Named after. The basic tools of the Swiss Army Knife are often: ballpoint pen, toothpicks, scissors, flat knife, can opener, screwdriver, tweezers, etc.
However, today's protagonist is not it. Today I’m going to talk about a Chinese engineering shovel that you haven’t paid attention to. It is an "artifact" with 18 functions invented by the People's Liberation Army. The first thing you need to understand is "The Swiss Army Knife has the function of the PLA's engineering shovel. It has all the functions that the Swiss Army Knife does not have, and our engineering shovel also has it!"
First, we first introduce its most basic functions: shovel, pickaxe, saw.
When working in the field, the engineer shovel can be described as omnipotent, digging, cutting trees, and shoveling sand are all made by it. Since it is called "shovel", it naturally functions as a shovel. Turn the front end of the shovel to bend it ninety degrees, and it can be used as a shovel. Needless to say, it is definitely more durable than the shovel used by rural people. Long. The right side of the shovel is serrated, used for sawing wood and other functions.
The earliest use of these functions of the engineer shovel was during the Anti-Japanese War, and it was used in guerrilla warfare and tunnel warfare. Later, the Republic used military strategies such as preparing for war and famine, digging deep holes and accumulating grain, and carried out a large number of underground bunker fortifications. Of course, it was also an engineering shovel, but it had been using Very common shovel with long wooden handle.
The second major function: cut, start, and cut.
The right side of the engineer's shovel is sharply ground, and its usual function is to cut, cut and chop. It is used for cutting, cutting and chopping. I just mentioned that the other side of it is jagged, and the end of the jagged surface also has a bottle opener function, which can be used to open the usual bottled supplies.
The third function: cooking.
Yes, you read that right. This is the biggest highlight of the engineer shovel, and it is also the most wonderful function. The soldiers of the cooking squad often use such a small shovel to make delicious dishes. It is this function that makes it a must-have product for the People's Liberation Army to survive in the wild.
