Medieval warriors: we outnumber them 100:1, we can't lose! Artillary gunners: Oh cool, they're all grouped up.

The funniest part of this is that the JSDF are using outdated weapons even by our standards.

"Is the hill erupting around us!!??" No, just a small artillery squad enjoying free target practice

Soldier 1: see those group over there? Soldier 2: yeah? Soldier 1: see any waifus? Soldier 2: nah just dudes. Soldier 1: alright boys light 'em up.

He got 90% of his army killed just to shoot 1 arrow

I was expecting a soldier to walk about in a state of shock looking for his arm
@notarmchairhistorian7779
I tell ya. Waging war is humanity's greatest ability. A regular man with a 9mm is more powerful than an armored knight 500 years ago.
@Trubripes
It's pretty insane these guys can take 40 percent casualty in one engagement before they broke. 10 percent losses in a short span would convince most sane armies to turn around.
@Scifigamer0626
Bruh imagine if the gate opened 75-80 years early during WWII when imperial japan was still a thing. These guys really dodged a bullet with the timing on that.

Artillery gunners seeing all those clumped up formations: "Mmmm, m o i s t."
@alexanderrodger8989
Why do you think armies had to change their strategy after the First World War?
@FARBerserker
"what did we do to deserve this?" you attacked somebody stronger
@absolutenoncents9166
the only unrealistic part of this is that he didn't get immedately get shot by a sniper as soon as he lead the charge.

This is technically a death march.

This scene really captures just how fucking terrifying modern warfare really is. Think about it. One second you are walking & the next you are laying on your last breath because someone just hit you with a weapon so fast it is invisible to the eye from dozens or hundreds of kilometers away. At least in antiquated warfare, you see your enemy in the eyes; they are always in your view or somewhere in your peripheral. Battles occur locally on scales humans can easily perceive. Modern warfare on the other hand can span entire continents or even the whole planet itself & involve weapons capable of inflicting incredible devastation from ranges difficult to truly wrap your mind around. What's more is just how fast & how coordinated it is in comparison to anything classical warfare ever required. Widespread AI & planetary reconnaissance does that. These poor bastards truly had no idea what they were dealing with. Can't help but feel sorry for that general in all honesty. He fought this battle like every other he has fought before. Used everything he has been taught to overcome this mysterious enemy. Makes that last bit all the more emotionally impactful. To him, his world effectively was torn asunder in a single afternoon realizing that everything he has ever learned or done was for naught. In those brief moments, his life was rendered meaningless.

When the battle was so one-sided, it was no longer a fight, but a Massacre.
@iliadnetfear2586
To those saying they don't feel bad or don't entirely feel bad, just know this. The Empire used this attack to cull the neighboring kingdoms so none would threaten the now weaker Empire. These men were marched intentionally to their deaths in the hopes of maintaining the social order. The attack on Tokyo, which I assume is why nobody cares what happens to these troops, was only carried out by the Imperial forces and monster mercenaries. Among the Imperial troops sent were also Noblemen and/or their first sons. So this might not have even been the Emperor's choice, but a forced hand by the Nobles.

Officer: Do you see that army? Artilerist: Yes sir. Officer: Well, I don't wanna to see them anymore Artilerist: I understand sir.
