During training in a village in England during World War II, Corporal Charles Batchelor, a bayonet instructor for the Home Guard, a militia organization, in 1942, thrust his bayonet with such intensity that it ended his life at once for show, against a hanging bag that suggested the enemy.
White combat is close combat by soldiers and infantrymen fighting with white soldiers, i.e., swords, bayonets, and other weapons. It was cruel and intense combat for the soldiers involved in the bayonet charge. Soldiers fixed their bayonets and charged toward the enemy. For the soldiers, it was a moment of great fear and determination. For the charging soldiers, the bayonet charge became a self-destructive or other-destructive attack.
As they bayoneted toward the enemy, the soldiers were filled with adrenaline, with fear and determination. They were in a close combat with their own lives on the line. The training and camaraderie among the soldiers, who were also fearful, often contributed to the fear being stifled. The bayonet charge was intended to be a close encounter with the enemy, often executed in chaotic and brutal battle conditions. Soldiers rushed toward the enemy, shouting and screaming, adding to the fiery cruelty of the moment.
The infantry charge with bayonets was accompanied by physical exertion as soldiers held their weapons and equipment while charging toward the enemy. Combined with the weight of equipment and fear, the bayonet charge reached its physical and mental limits.
Despite the confusion and fear of the bayonet charge, soldiers needed to maintain mental focus during the bayonet charge. Strict discipline was enforced and coordination with fellow soldiers was forced in order to carry out the deadly bayonet charge. Close combat with bayonets was brutal and violent for both friend and foe. Soldiers had to be prepared to fight for the lives of their enemies. Often, bayonet assaults resulted in heavy casualties and casualties on both sides.
