>NaOH and aluminium
doesn't sound as bad as
>HCl and zinc
both should explode due to buildup of H2 gas. hot HCl is almost surely worse than hot NaOH. however:
>KOH and aluminium
potassium lye is quite aggressive. neither of these are deadly. if you want be really dangerous you should do
>HCl and TCCA
this will build up Cl2 gas which, apart from exploding, will be in deadly concentrations within around a meter of the blast radius, depending on the mass of ingredients. in a confined space this will be far worse

Ingredients:
-A moderately thick glass bottle that will shatter on impact but won't break in your hands
-A rag made of flammable fabric cut into strips
-Some sort of fuel with a syrup-y consistency if you want it to stick well (a good formula is dissolving styrofoam in acetone and mixing the resulting solution with an equal amount of gasoline; the Finns that coined the term Molotov cocktail thickened their gasoline with roofing tar)
1. Fill the bottle with the fuel in an open air or ventilated space
2. Tape a strip of rag around the neck to protect your hands from the heat
3. Shortly before you plan on throwing it, dip one half of a long rag strip into the fuel while the stuffing the other half in the neck of the bottle, plugging it while leaving about 5 cm hanging out
4. Light the rag and throw

This only works if you expect the invaders to occupy instead of just killing you. The US pissed around for two decades making opium, if they wanted to kill every single Afghan man, woman, and child the war would have been over in a year.

You do realize almost all wars are fought to occupy a country, not commit total genocide
