Do other languages have sayings like that are shouted when charging the enemy?

That reminds me of a story about an Austrian army that was campaigning against the Turks, there was some confusion (they thought the Turks were attacking their camp at night and they started shooting at everything) and the German-speaking officers were shouting "Halt, Halt" which was interpreted by the non-German-speaking soldiers as "Allah Allah".

In the end, the Austrian army fled and when the Turkish army arrived days later, they found their camp with thousands of dead soldiers (from the friendly fire).
