Tunnels play a non-negligible role in warfare, and as a key military facility, it hides the secrets of passages and strategic transfers. However, water attack as a strategic means poses a huge challenge to the tunnels. The core idea of water attack is to continuously fill the tunnel with water, and through continuous immersion, the tunnel cannot be used normally.
Modern tunnels are equipped with drainage systems, but these systems are not perfectly adapted to constant water attacks. The permeability of the water makes it difficult to keep the tunnels dry for long periods of time, even with a drainage system, making them ineffective in water warfare.
Although the water attack strategy can effectively weaken the use of tunnels, it may also have irreversible effects on tunnel structures, facilities and passages. When adopting a water offensive strategy, the military needs to take into account how to protect the basic functions and structural integrity of the tunnels.
Looking back on history, especially during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, how the ancestors in central Hebei used wisdom and innovation to resist the enemy's fire, poison gas and water attacks. They used earth and sand as a means of extinguishing fires, keeping water out and keeping the tunnels dry. The hanging plate was skillfully used to resist the onslaught of poison gases, demonstrating the ability of our ancestors to cope with extreme environments. By connecting the tunnel to the dry well culvert, they achieved a smooth removal of water and prevented the water attack from having a serious impact on the tunnel.
In the future, tunnels can improve their resistance to water by adopting advanced water-repellent coatings. The research and development of coating materials will provide a more reliable guarantee for the water resistance of the tunnel, so that it can perform more well under the water attack strategy. The development of intelligent induction drainage system will help to discharge water out of the tunnel in a timely and accurate manner, making the tunnel more competitive in the underwater war.
The integration of wisdom tradition and modern innovation has made us more deeply realize that military wisdom needs the organic combination of tradition and innovation in order to be invincible in the ever-changing war environment. In the future challenges, tunnels will continue to be the key point in military strategy, and the common development of wisdom inheritance and modern science and technology will create a more brilliant future.
