Can you squish bacteria to kill it?

If you put a liquid with bacteria in it between two flat metal plates and applied like 100tons of force how much (if any) of the bacteria would survive?

Technically yes, but the challenge would be actually doing that.

Even the smoothest surface you’re likely to find would look like a mountain range under a microscope, so bacteria would just be chilling in all the crevices.
