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.
The commander shouted, "Cease fire!"
Modern JSDF term for 'cease fire'; 撃ち方やめ is an older, more dramatic command.
Standard military command spelling; やめ is written in kana.
Alternate spelling using the kanji 止め for やめ.
Variant using 打ち方; less common in modern military contexts.
Rare variant combining 打ち方 and 止め.
A military command formed from 撃ち方 “firing” and the command form やめ “stop.” Here 撃ち方 denotes the act of firing, not a method of shooting.
