Banzai Burma 1942

This figure kit includes pieces of white metal to make a 75mm Banzai Burma 1942.

Banzai charge (from the Japanese battle cry "banzai") was a term applied during World War II by the Allied forces to human wave attacks mounted by infantry forces of the Imperial Japanese Army. The name Gyokusai (Japanese: honourable suicide; literally "jade shards") was however used by the Naikaku Johōkyoku (Cabinet Information Bureau) and the media of the Imperial Japanese regime. These attacks were usually launched as a suicide attack to avoid surrender and dishonour or as a final attempt at maximizing the odds of success in the face of usually numerically superior Allied forces.
