The engineer shovel is improved by three generations of shovel to be folded twice. The handle is triangular-like streamline, and has the functions of shovel, pick, crowbar (stab), saw and knife. In the production process, high-quality quenched high-carbon steel is used to increase the strength. , Anti-wear, anti-corrosion and high temperature resistance. Also known as the engineer shovel. During the First World War, the German army was heavily equipped and used. The number of our army is the largest among the three armies of the People's Liberation Army. After the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, it is now the largest army in the world. In history, the People's Liberation Army first used shovel for military purposes on a large scale during the Three Great Wars. Before that, it was used to fight guerrillas. Tunnel warfare was not the People's Liberation Army and it was not considered a large-scale warfare. After the liberation, due to historical reasons, the Republic used military strategies such as preparing for war and famine, digging deep holes to accumulate grain and other military strategies throughout the country, and carried out a large number of underground bunker fortifications. In the field of equipment, there has never been a unified and true military engineer shovel, and the very common shovel with long wooden handle has been used.
The birth of a generation of military engineer shovel can be said to be a need for survival. Soldiers found that the wooden handle of the ordinary shovel was too long, difficult to carry, and easy to expose the target, so the wooden handle was sawed short. Later, this method gradually spread. According to the suggestions of many veterans and field observations of many shovels that have been used for many years, the logistics department added some small changes to the shovel. First of all, the wooden handle was far away from the top of the shovel. A small through hole was opened parallel to the shovel surface. Secondly, according to the wear of some old shovel, the wooden handle was changed to a thick-fine-thick streamline shape, and small holes were also added on both sides of the shovel surface. The four small holes are used to tie the shovel to the marching bag with a rope. It is not easy to fall during armed swimming, strenuous exercise and long marching. The streamlined wooden handle is more suitable for hand grip, and traditional military green paint is also used.
