Japanese term or phrase: 砕け散れ

Dear ProZ members,

I have a stupid question about imperative forms. Let's say I'm fighting against an opponent or I'm trying to destroy something, and I decide to use my special technique.

If I shout something like 砕け散れ (or 砕けろ) am I addressing my target saying "now go to pieces" or am I "pushing" my own technique saying "go and destroy him/it"?

I'd say the first one, but I see translations that interpret these cases in the second way, so I'm starting to have some doubts.

Thank you very much!

English translation:Telling the target to break into pieces and become destroyed

Explanation:
The speaker is telling the target to "break into pieces", which practically means to "get destroyed". It's something like saying "Get lost" to mean "get killed".
