After the Great War, corpses were strewn across the field. Perhaps because the attrition was so severe, many armies had developed "animal warriors" and the results were good. From the most basic vehicles to communications, espionage, suicide bombings, war experts have never been soft on this.
Most animal warriors walk very restlessly, but war is war, and if you don't shed human blood, you have to shed dog blood. Thank you again for the peace and prosperity, and the animal allies who sacrificed for it...
1. Smoky (Yorkshire)
- Battle of Luzon
The most famous combat dog in American history, it went to the war zone alone in the Battle of Luzon and used his knotting skills to build a telegraph line system. The entire mission was completed in minutes, three days less if replaced by a human, and could be bombed. He fought in 12 battles in his lifetime, and also airdropped into the rear of the enemy army, and became a national star after the war, even with this breed of dogs.
2. Wojtek (Syrian brown bear)
- Served in the Polish army during World War II
While on a mission in the mountains of Syria, the Polish army encountered a young boy selling bears. They replaced the bear with a few cans and taught it to carry mortar shells. During wojtek's service with the 22nd Transport Company, it had always carried the weapon in a huddle manner, never dropping it once — probably because there were no cornfields. The insignia of this unit also became a brown bear carrying a cannonball.
3. Lin Wang (Asian elephant)
- The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression
It was a porter for the Japanese army and was later "captured" by the Chinese Expeditionary Force. Because there were fewer materials to carry and food to eat, Lin Wang worked hard and complained after surrendering, and after the war, he moved to Taiwan with Sun Liren. Later, it helped build the Monument to the Martyrs of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and raised funds for the famine in Hunan through circus performances. He died at the age of 86 at the Taipei Zoo, and everyone called him "Grandpa Lin Wang".
4. Kuznechik (Bactrian Camel)
- Battle of Stalingrad
A Bactrian camel from Kazakhstan, named "Grasshopper" by Soviet soldiers, became the leader of the logistics group of the 308th Rifle Division of the 1st Army. Its duty is to carry food and cooking utensils, as well as... Sell cute. By the way, it also participated in the Battle of Stalingrad and drove pots and pans to the front of the glass Parliament Building. With all the international friendly forces coming, is there any reason why the Hitler regime will not perish?
5.G.I. Joe (Kallio pigeon)
- Served in the British Army during World War II
When the British captured a small village with a German Nazi stronghold in 1943, they did not know that the Allies were preparing to bomb it from a distance. If the pigeon had not flown 32 kilometers in 20 minutes to spread the news to the base camp, thousands of soldiers in the British 169th Infantry Brigade might have been sent to God by friendly forces. In recognition of his outstanding contribution, Joe was made into a specimen after his death for posterity to see.
1. Divine soldiers descend from heaven
During the Spanish Civil War, the whole country was in a mess. Because supplies were difficult to reach the designated location, Nationalist pilots tied fragile supplies to turkeys and threw them off the plane. When desperate, the turkey becomes a parachute, and the bottled milk can also land smoothly. The turkeys must not have imagined that they had made great achievements, but they were also on the supply list.
2. Murder and murder
In 2007, it was rumored that after the British army occupied Basra Province, the "piranha badger" was released in the local area, that is, the variant African flathead brother. This matter was not only strenuously denied by the British, but also became the "most boring news" of the year. But the purpose of the people who released the rumors was achieved: the local residents who believed it to be true planned a number of bombings against the British army.
3. The beast leads the three armies
The U.S. military has a tradition of setting up "army mascots" that are used as symbols of communication for military units, or are listed in ceremonies, or even as simple pets. Crocodiles, lions, crows, pit bulls, foxes... Only you can't think of it, without him don't dare to raise. These little guys have paid salaries in the military, and even have dedicated personal doctors and shovelers.
4. Death screams
War Pigs, it sounds very funny. But during Alexander the Great's expedition to India, these pigs made a great contribution. They are predators of war elephant troops, and when their tails are tied to torches, they will run wildly, and their screams are particularly harsh. Elephants can't stand it and flee for their lives, trampling a large number of friendly troops to death. This move has been used many times throughout history until the war elephant troops disappeared completely.
1. The Great Sage Thunderbolt
During the 2003 Iraq War, American pig teammate Morocco sent a group of trained monkeys, claiming that they could go to minefields to clear mines. In practice, the monkeys were driven to a minefield and wandered back and forth in the woods until they stepped on the mine they were destined to do... This move was decisively rejected by the US military, probably because it was too cheap.
2. Bat King Purgatory
The United States plans to drop a large number of boxes into the Japanese mainland, each containing 26 bats. When the box is opened, the bats will find a building to hide, and then the remote-controlled incendiary bombs on them will explode, and the whole of Tokyo will be plunged into a sea of fire in an instant. Later this plan was canceled, but the Japanese did not have to be happy too soon, because the atomic bomb was built...
3. Dog lift tank
The earliest combat dog training unit of the US military was specially trained anti-tank dogs. Their routine is simple, they put food under the tank during training, and when they reach the battlefield, the dogs will drill under the tank, and they are all tied with explosives packages. Later, the Germans killed dogs on the front line on the grounds of "eradicating rabies", and the US military began to transform into training search and rescue dogs and mine clearance dogs.
4. Rat corpse blasting
British scientists stuffed bombs into the butts of rat corpses and mixed them with coal to transport into the boiler rooms of German weapons factories. But the first finished products were intercepted by the Gestapo, and the German boiler workers had one more job: they picked out all the dead rats in the coal and threw them away before burning coal. Last year, the British auction house Bonhams auction house auctioned a "rat bomb".
5. Big Fish Nuclear Bomb
It is already an open secret that the U.S. Navy trains sea lions and dolphins to find mines. But they also trained a group of killer whales to ram the enemy's coastline, and it is estimated that few people know about it. The whales were stuffed with nuclear bombs and were controlled to rush directly to enemy military positions. As long as they didn't have a whaling ship, they were definitely a dead. Fortunately, a full-scale nuclear war did not break out in the end.
1. Dog + gas mask
Let's talk about the "World War II" period of the U.S. military search and rescue dogs. Their task is to shuttle through the area of the exchange of fire, retrieve the wounded when they find them, or inform rescuers by call. The gas warfare that was rampant at the time forced the U.S. military to develop gas masks for them as well. Considering that the tongues of these soldiers are stretched all day long, and the position of their mouths has been extended...
2. Chicken + nuclear bomb
This is a true story that has been treated as an April Fool's Day joke for many years: after the British occupied West Germany, they buried nuclear weapons underground to prevent the Soviets from taking advantage of the opportunity to attack. Considering that the electronics would fail due to the cold, they put a few chickens and feed in the nuclear weapons... As long as the chickens are alive, they can provide a biological heat source to avoid icing. Chicken means: Lao Tzu chose to die!
3. Falcon + sharp blade
The British alone trained 250,000 carrier pigeons during world war II, and just as others were learning this trick, the British raised a group of falcons to catch enemy pigeons. The most bloody thing is that the captured pigeons are also locked up as "war criminals". Later, in order to do nothing, the British directly tied a blade to the claws of the falcon, and the pigeon came to cut the throat with a knife.
4. Squirrel + spy equipment
In 2007, Iranian intelligence officers captured 14 "peers," all of whom were squirrels carrying spy equipment. Iran said some people have taken advantage of the habit of squirrels to collect things, so that they are willing to take bugging devices and miniature cameras to the vicinity of military equipment. Considering that these squirrels are also unaware, they are all released after some education.
5. Rhinoceros + armor
In fact, it was more of a conceptual design, with the German painter Dürer drawing this armored rhinoceros warrior in 1515. It is based on a gift received by Pope Leo X, which the populace naturally does not see. So for a long time, Germans thought that rhinos were born with a suit of armor...
