As a kind of armor to protect the head, the helmet is one of the indispensable tools in people's daily life, it has long appeared in the history of China, and was called "gizzard, first armor, hood or head hammer" in ancient times. The earliest foreign metal helmets were manufactured more than 800 years ago, and the Bronze Helmet of the Shang Dynasty unearthed from the Yin Ruins of Anyang in China, dating back about 3,000 years, is the world's earliest metal helmet.
With the change of the times, the shape and style of helmets continue to increase, and the "devils" in the TV series also wear a helmet like a melon skin, wrapped around a layer of nets, and this layer of nets actually saved their lives.
In fact, Japan itself has no history and civilization, but we have to admit that they are a country that loves to learn, when Emperor Shuming successively appointed 19 envoys to the Tang Dynasty to study in our country, whether it is the legal system or cultural customs, all copied down and went back to study, and later embarked on the road of "total Westernization" and entered the ranks of the world's military powers.
Helmet as an important protective tool in the past and the present war, Japan naturally to quickly learn and use, during World War II, the manufacture of steel helmets gradually took shape, such as the US military M1, German M35, Soviet 194O, British Mark, Japan learned from its experience, imitated the "cherry blossom helmet", because the helmet top has a cherry blossom pattern and named.
However, this kind of helmet is very easy to reflect, when a Japanese known as the "god of war" Iizuka Kunigoro, because he wore his particularly bright steel helmet, posing for the reporter, the helmet was reflected, was seen by our Chinese veterans, two shots were solved, attracted the attention of the Japanese military, and later invented a new helmet, was wrapped in a layer of net, and the winding method is very complicated and exquisite, what is the use of it?
The first effect is to reduce reflections. As in the example of Kunigoro Iizuka above, the Japanese helmets at first were too easy to reflect, and they were not seen, and the reflection became a living target, covering a layer of net, which could effectively reduce the reflection.
The second effect is more conducive to disguising oneself. When they fell into the grass, they inserted branches and sticks in their hats, revealing only two eyes, effectively camouflaged their fragile heads.
The third effect is to prevent the helmet from falling to the ground too loud. The helmet made of steel was very bulky and made a sound when it was hit, covering it with a layer of netting to reduce the sound of the collision, the Japanese captive explained.
The fourth function is that it is convenient and quick to pick up and cook and eat. Helmets are an important tool in combat, if they are accidentally lost or damaged, they may be killed, and if there are others on the ground who have lost helmets, they must be picked up quickly. The smooth helmet is not convenient to pick up immediately, and the net is easy to hook with the fingers. On the other hand, when they fight in the field, they will use their helmets as pots and net pockets to net fish, solving the survival tools.
Later, the armies of other countries also followed the practice of the Japanese army, coupled with the upgrading of helmet materials, effectively protected the heads of soldiers, and the soldiers in the picture saved their lives because of the protection of helmets.
In China, there is an idiom of "take its essence and remove its dross", which means to absorb the best things in things and discard the bad and useless things in things. We must not forget the harm caused to us by Japan, but the good things they invented should also be used to learn to use and serve ourselves!
