Imai commanded Yoshinaka ' s forces when the two cousins met at the Battle of Awazu in 1184 . He held off the attacks of Minamoto no Noriyori for a long time .

The noh play " Kanehira " is about his ghost relating the story of Yoshinaka and himself , and how he wanted to go to the other side .
RM - 38 The RM - 38 was a Soviet 50 mm light infantry mortar , developed as a variant of the M1938 120 mm mortar . The barrel was clamped at two elevation angles only - 45 and 75 degrees . Range variations were made by altering a sleeve round the base of the barrel . This sleeve opened a series of gas ports which bled off exhaust gases and so determined the range . The project was deemed overly complex and expensive , and was only produced for a short time , before being replaced by the Model 1939 . Despite the small number produced , some fell into German hands in 1941 , who introduced them as the 5 cm Granatwerfer 205 / 1 ( r ) . Development . The RM - 38 or 50 - RM 38 ( 50 - mm company mortar model 1938 ) was based on the Stokes mortar . It was further developed as the RM - 39 and RM40 . The Red Army of the USSR divided mortars into company ( RM ) battalion ( BM ) and regimental ( HM ) mortars . Development of a light 50mm company mortar started in 1937 . The RM - 38 was approved for use in 1938 and entered production in 1939 . In the space of just over a year RM - 39 , RM - 40 and RM - 41 replaced each other in succession . RM - 41 remained in production until 1943 , when the USSR decided to cease making 50mm mortars . Only RM - 41 was new design the others being incremental improvements of the original RM - 38 . Design Improvements . The problem of having only two fixed elevations and thus needing to adjust the range with the complex adjustment of gas escape made for inaccurate ranging and was dangerous to the mortar - man as well . The minimum shooting range of 200m was felt to be impractical in Red Army use as well . RM - 39 added a protective shield which directed the escaping hot gases away from the operator . Barrels got shorter with each new model . 50mm RM41 . Essentially a new design , influenced by German 50mm mortars , which was continued in use until 50mm mortars were removed from Soviet Army service . This mortar was without a tripod but instead relied on its barrel yoke which contained traverse and elevation adjustments . The gases now vented under the muzzle via a tube . Use . All models saw widespread use by the USSR in World War II . Captured in large numbers they were also re - used by the Finns and Germans . After World War II the USSR supplied them to North Korea and Vietnam . The Finns were apparently not impressed with these Russian 50mm mortars , giving them mildly derogatory nicknames - " Naku " and " Tiltu " , and not being over - zealous about re - issuing them . The Finns found the RM - 39 relatively accurate in use and setting the mortar ready to fire took only about one minute . The mortar was no substitute for the 80 - 82mm mortars however , perhaps due to only having 100g of TNT in the shell , less than some hand grenades .

Burdock piling Large rocks are fitted together over a mound of earth , and the remaining cracks are filled in with pebbles . This stone fill is called because of their small size . No mortar was used in the building of castle walls , which allowed the individual stones to move slightly during earthquakes without causing significant wall damage . This technique grew from an earlier Japanese wall - building technique known as disordered piling .

160mm Mortar M1943 The Soviet 160 mm Mortar M1943 was a smoothbore breech loading heavy mortar which fired a massive 160 mm bomb . The M1943 ( also called the MT - 13 ) was the heaviest mortar used by Soviet troops in World War II . Around 535 of these weapons were fielded with Soviet forces during the war . It was replaced in Soviet service after World War II by the M - 160 mortar of the same caliber . Description . Originally a simple scaling - up of the 120 mm M1938 mortar , it soon became apparent that drop - loading a 40 kg bomb into a 3 meter high tube would be too difficult for any man to do . It was redesigned into a breech loading weapon , and contains a substantial recoil system to soak up the massive shock of firing a 160 mm bomb and prevent the baseplate from burying itself too deeply . The barrel sits in a cradle which is attached to a baseplate and tripod . To load the weapon , the barrel is hinged forward which exposes the rear end of the tube . The bomb is then loaded , retained in place by a catch , and the barrel is swung back into the cradle , which in effect closes the breech . Because of the weight of the mortar , it is equipped with wheels and is designed to be towed by a motor - driven vehicle . Tactical organization . The Soviet Army deployed the 160 - mm mortar in brigades of 32 mortars each . The brigades were composed of four battalions of eight mortars each . Such brigades were part of the artillery divisions formed from 1944 onward ( see Divisions of the Soviet Union 1917 - 1945 ) . Postwar service . Used postwar by

De Havilland Don The de Havilland DH . 93 Don was a 1930s British multi - role three - seat training aircraft built by de Havilland at Hatfield Aerodrome . Design and development . The Don was designed to meet Air Ministry Specification T . 6 / 36 for a multi - role trainer and was a single - engined monoplane of wooden stressed - skin construction . The DH . 93 Don was intended to be a trainer for pilots and radio operators , and as a gunnery trainer , the gunnery requirement involved the mounting of a dorsal gun turret . Student pilot and instructor sat side - by - side up front , while behind in the cabin was accommodation for a trainee WT ( radio ) operator and the turret gunner . Operational history . The prototype ( serial number " L2387 " ) first flew on 18 June 1937 and was transferred to RAF Martlesham Heath for official evaluation . In the course of the trials , more equipment was added which increased the weight , as a result , in an attempt to reduce weight , the dorsal turret was removed . The aircraft was also modified with small auxiliary fins fitted beneath the tailplane . Despite the changes incorporated from the fifth aircraft , the type was deemed not suitable for training and the original order for 250 aircraft was reduced to only 50 aircraft , 20 of which were delivered as engineless airframes for ground training . The remaining aircraft served as communications and liaison aircraft , serving with No . 24 Sqn and numerous RAF Station Flights throughout the UK until early 1939 , but all were grounded for use as instructional airframes in March 1939 .
