As the military industry gradually becomes bigger and stronger, the PLA's weapons and equipment has long bid farewell to the poor and poor in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Various military equipment that we are familiar with or unfamiliar with are gradually enriched into the national defense system. Not to mention anything else, just take the relatively simple production cost and the cost is not high, but training and combat are indispensable. For example, in addition to the early Five-Five, Six-Five, and the famous 205 Type Engineer's Shovel , there are also many models equipped in the battle sequence of various PLA's troops.
In the late 1980s, the People's Liberation Army equipped a more special multi-functional engineer shovel or engineer shovel -type 87 multi-functional engineer shovel with lightning probe. This kind of engineer shovel that can be folded in to facilitate the carrying of marching can be folded to a minimum of 50cm long and 16.5cm wide. Even if it is fully expanded from head to toe, it is only 69cm. Even if it still has a 14cm long pickaxe and a 23cm long lightning rod . The shovel surface and shovel heads are all made of quenched high-carbon steel, which is relatively strong in terms of strength, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and high temperature resistance.
This domestic equipment that combines various functions such as shovels, shovels, picks, saws, and lightning probes can be used to dig trenches and bunkers, and lightning probes can also be used to remove mines, and can be used to cut trees and saw wood. It can also be used to cut trees and saw wood, and can be used as a crowbar to pry stones or even a pan to heat canned eggs. Of course, in close combat, it is also a weapon that is no less than a bayonet. This engineer shovel is mainly painted in dark green or light green paint. The straight wooden handle has a hollow at the end and is sealed with an aluminum alloy cover. The steel lightning probe hidden in the wooden handle can be pulled out. The cover can be tightened to fix the lightning probe.
and was later called the "China Universal Military Ship". The total length of is not 590mm, and the folded length is only about 400mm, and the overall weight is only 0.85kg, making it more convenient to carry marching. This equipment with the functions of sixteen tools can be said to be the best among domestic engineer shovels, and is also the first generation of domestic multi-functional military shovels with independent intellectual property rights.
This kind of engineer shovel is made of special high-carbon steel . It has very strong strength and toughness. It can not only easily cut off the 8# steel wire, but also bend the shovel surface for 45 degrees thousands of times without deformation and cracking. The blade on the right can be used to cut trees and open the way, while the sawtooth on the left can be used to cut iron bars or trunks. This kind of engineer shovel has more than ten functions such as digging, sawing, chopping, cutting, piercing, cutting, picking, hooking, prying hammer, measuring, and clang. It is precisely because this kind of engineer shovel is extremely practical and easy to carry, it is widely used in many industries such as outdoors, forestry, surveying, geology, and archaeology. You can still see this kind of engineer shovel from time to time.
