Eight Legendary Battle Cries-- Part 1: The Rebel Yell


From the May 21, 2015, History Channel.

1.  "Tenno Heika Banzai"--  Japanese Banzai charges during World War II.

2.  The Rebel Yell--  Writer Ambrose Bierce described it, "It was the ugliest sound that any mortal ever heard."  A banshee scream shrill yelp like a coyote would make.

3.  Greek "Alala" and "Eleleu"  They would yell this while banging their weapons on their shields.

4.  "There is no land for us beyond the Volga."  --  Soviet defenders of Stalingrad during World War II.
