Application of barbed wire in military warfare
We often see on TV that border troops will use a kind of barbed wire to form a defense line. This line of defense is used to guard against sudden invasion by outsiders. In times of war, such barbed wire has existed. Why is a small wire so powerful that it can form a useful line of defense?
In fact, this wire is not ordinary wire, but based on the principle of thorns thorns made of barbed wire rope. This kind of wire has three or four spikes every few centimeters. Row upon row, this is the same principle as the ancient horse nails. Around a few layers, it can act as a line of defense. Ordinary people do not dare to get close to this kind of barbed wire, not careful was stuck, the bottom can not move. On the battlefield, this kind of wire can be stabbed to death. People usually feel very painful when they are pierced by a single iron nail, let alone hundreds or thousands of holes. At that time, the conditions were more difficult. It was impossible to build a wall on each border line, and it could not be done. The wall may be climbed up, if it is this kind of iron line, even the mountain duke dare not climb, let alone people. Wire costs less than a wall, but it is better than a wall, it is more than a line of defense it is a weapon.
The installation of this wire mesh is flexible and convenient, and it can be quickly recycled after use. So if you see a large area of subway lines along the border, you know there must be troops nearby. In the past, when I was still poorer, THERE was not so much money to replace the wire. With the wind and rain, the wire would rust over time. Once it rusts, it's more lethal, forming wound tetanus. Now society will flourish, such as the border wire many are electrified. More dare not be approached, a touch will be electrocuted, animals are afraid to approach. Because of its protective effect, many people now surround their gardens or planted orchards with wire to prevent thieves. Encounter this kind of wire, walking hard, let alone steal things, just walk out.
The application of wire mesh is very extensive, not only used in military wars, but also in agriculture, security protection also plays a very important role
