Strategy of Attrition - Hail of Bullets

Crossing frontiers

From the peninsula

The horde advancing

Into China

On the rampage

Insubordination

Cabal of generals

Rebellion

Operate without approval

Divisions run amok

Mobilizing border troops

Piling up their stocks

Conducting maneuvers

Harsh arrogance

Swallow the giant

With malevolence

Increase aggression

Sweep into chapel

Rotation bombings

Burning Shanghai

Open game for victors

As they mow civilians down

Public decapitation

But still they did not bow

Imprisonment meant slavery

Mass-rapes day and night

Use of chemical weapons

No surrender insight

Strategy of attrition

Lure intruders far inland

Retreat, harass, attack

Penetrating fragile flanks

Devouring juggernaut

A tactic to repeat

Impossible conquest

Never complete
