Facing insurmountable odds, Chinese armies used "Dare to Die corps" or suicide squads against the Japanese, using suicide bombing tactics such as detonating grenade vests and strapping explosives to their bodies. This tactic was used during the Battle of Shanghai and the Battle of Taierzhuang, where Chinese troops rushed at Japanese tanks and blew themselves up. In one incident, Chinese suicide bombers destroyed four Japanese tanks with grenade bundles, demonstrating the effectiveness of suicide bombing tactics in the war.
