Yes, those who answered "banzai" are correct.
The Chinese too use this expression, and it is "wan sui" in Mandarin Chinese. Basically, both the Chinese and the Japanese were wishing their emperors to live "10,000 years" - or live forever. I did not consult Wikipedia for this.

Banzai - meaning ten thousand years. The Meiji rule is considered the oldest monarchy today. So long live the Enlightened One, Emperor Yoshihito.

by way of fact the eastern bought us out in Hawaii. that they had many secret radio stations and led planes in for the kill. the eastern on the Mainland performed a extensive roll interior the death at Hawaii. The people for this reason figured that the eastern on American soil would do precisely the comparable factor so as that they positioned them into camps for the secure practices of people and that they did no longer supply a darn at that element that this would possibly not be completely criminal. The preserve of usa replaced into regular and since the eastern confirmed their treachery at Pearl Harbor, usa did no longer want yet another Pearl Harbor on the west value. Germans have been locked up by way of fact of their German American Bund, yet Italians weren't stricken too plenty.

" Banzai "
Suicide charges and human wave attacks were called banzai attacks by Allied soldiers due to the Japanese Army's practice of shouting " Tennoheika banzai " meaning long live the emperor.

I think the word you're looking for is "banzai," but it's a bit more complicated than that, as your research will show.

In it's simplest form: "Banzai!" There's a bit more to it, but it basically means 10,000 years or something like that.
Google Banzai and see what you get...

Usually it was "banzai", thats if they were charging more men than they had.
