interjection
cease fire!
A military command ordering the immediate cessation of shooting. Used in historical or dramatic contexts; in modern JSDF, 射撃停止 (しゃげきていし) is more common.
隊長が「撃ち方やめ!」と叫んだ。
The commander shouted, "Cease fire!"
Modern JSDF term for 'cease fire'; 撃ち方やめ is an older, more dramatic command.
Compound of 撃ち方 (uchikata, 'way of shooting') + やめ (yame, 'stop'), the imperative form of 止める (yameru).
