If we can't burn them from the sky, then we'll burn them from the ground!
Originally, each battalion only had 27 flamethrowers, which definitely wasn't enough for a satisfying burn.
To make the burning more enjoyable, each battalion was given an additional 9 German-made flamethrowers. Although their performance was slightly inferior, they were still adequate for burning people.
It must be said, compared to automatic weapons, sometimes flamethrowers are even more effective in the jungle. After all, flamethrowers don't require precise aiming—just spray in the general direction, and the flying streams of fire will ignite everything in their path, turning Japanese soldiers hiding in the foliage directly into human torches.
On the battlefield, a single soldier wielding a flamethrower can display the might of a one-man army. Once the flames touch anything, they won't stop until it's reduced to ashes. In just a few days, flamethrowers became the soldiers' favorite "fun gun."
