bayonet charges

A bayonet charge is a military tactic where infantry soldiers rush towards the enemy with fixed bayonets attached to their rifles. This close-combat maneuver was common in historical warfare, especially during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Soldiers would charge at full speed to shock and overwhelm the enemy, aiming to engage in hand-to-hand combat. The effectiveness of bayonet charges depended on surprise, morale, and the ability to close distances quickly. While less common in modern warfare due to advances in technology and tactics, the bayonet charge remains a symbol of bravery and aggression in combat history.
