Banzai charge
Term used by the Allied forces to refer to Japanese human wave attacks
Banzai charge or Banzai attack (Japanese: バンザイ突撃 or 万歳突撃, banzai totsugeki) is the term that was used by the Allied forces of World War II to refer to Japanese human wave attacks and swarming staged by infantry units. This term came from the Japanese battle cry tennōheika banzai (天皇陛下万歳, 'long live His Imperial Majesty'), and was shortened to banzai, specifically referring to the bayonet charge tactic used by the Imperial Japanese Army during the Pacific War.

Banzai charge or Banzai attack (Japanese: バンザイ突撃 or 万歳突撃, banzai totsugeki) is the term that was used by the Allied forces of World War II to refer to Japanese human wave attacks and swarming staged by infantry units. This term came from the Japanese battle cry tennōheika banzai (天皇陛下万歳, 'long live His Imperial Majesty'), and was shortened to banzai, specifically referring to the bayonet charge tactic used by the Imperial Japanese Army during the Pacific War. This tactic was used when the Japanese commanders of infantry battalions foresaw that a battle was about to be lost, as a last ditch effort in thwarting Allied forces.
