A Chinese infantry soldier during the Battle of Taierzhuang putting on a explosive suicide vest made out of Model 24 hand grenades to use in a suicide bombing against a Japanese tank. Due to lack of anti-armor weaponry, Suicide bombing was also used against the Japanese. Chinese troops strapped explosives like grenade packs or dynamite to their bodies and threw themselves under Japanese tanks to blow them up.[1] Dynamite and grenades were strapped on by Chinese troops who rushed at Japanese tanks and blew themselves up.[2][3][4][5][6] During one incident at Taierzhuang, Chinese suicide bombers obliterated four Japanese tanks with grenade bundles.[7][8]
