Army battles must be supported by heavy weapons. Friends who have watched anti-Japanese TV dramas or learned about the situation of China’s fight against the enemy at that time will find that the army usually has commanders when using artillery shells. Fire, and then the artillery will vigorously pull the rope connected to the artillery, so that the shell can be successfully launched. This operation of launching shells using ropes was used by the armies of many countries in that era. Even the artillery of the United States operated shells like this. Even now, this method is widely used in military activities. Among.
Although the method of firing by electric shock had been invented during World War II, the method of using a rope to fire cannonballs has not been eliminated. In fact, this method of pulling a rope to launch a projectile is called towed launch. The principle of this method is the same as that of firearms. One end of the rope for launching the shell is pulled by the soldier to launch, and the other end is tied with a firing pin. The firing pin is used to ignite the gunpowder inside the shell, and then the shell is launched. . Regardless of the simplicity of this method, only the soldiers can pull the rope to launch. This method can effectively avoid the huge impact caused by the recoil caused by the cannonball launching and hurt the soldier. The soldier can use the rope to trigger the cannonball at a distance. .
This method of towed launch is low in cost, and only a strong rope is needed to complete the launch. And because of the wars, this method was used to launch shells most of the time, so the reliability of this method was extremely high, and the technology honed in actual combat was quite mature. And this kind of operation is very simple. Due to the complex structure and huge size of a gun, it cannot be equipped with a trigger like a machine, just squeeze the trigger. Therefore, a rope can be used instead to control the firing pin to ignite the gunpowder. The operation is more Simple.
So even now, there are more advanced and reliable science and technology to replace these "simple" launch methods. However, this kind of towed launching still relies on its effective launching ability and easy operation, so it is widely used and has not been eliminated. I have to admire the reliability and power of human wisdom.
