Military Song of the New Fourth Army

Lyrics: Chen Yi?

Music: He Shide

Singer: China Opera and Dance Drama Chorus

The glorious Northern Expedition under the city of Wuchang, stained with blood on our names

Struggled alone on Luoxiao Mountain, inherited the merits of the martyrs

Thousands of struggles, snow, hunger and cold

p>

Traveling thousands of miles to fight, camping in poor mountains

Acquire rich struggle experience and exercise the spirit of hard sacrifice

For the happiness of society and the survival of the nation

< p>Always persist in our struggle, and the athletes of the eight provinces have joined together to form an iron stream of resistance against Japan

The athletes of the eight provinces have formed an iron stream to resist Japan, marching eastward and eastward

We are the iron stream We are the iron New Fourth Army, marching eastward and eastward

We are the iron New Fourth Army, marching eastward and eastward

We are the iron New Fourth Army, marching eastward to the east of the Yangtze River

Any We are galloping vertically and horizontally, going deep behind enemy lines and winning every battle

The cry to kill the enemy is surging, we must charge bravely

To annihilate the enemy invaders, we must shout loudly

Arouse the people, Carry forward the fine traditions of the revolution

Create a modern new revolutionary army, for social happiness

For the survival of the nation, consolidate unity and resolute struggle

The Anti-Japanese War and the founding of the nation uphold independence and freedom The flag of the War of Resistance and the founding of the nation held high the banner of independence and freedom

Move forward, we are the iron New Fourth Army

Move forward, we are the iron New Fourth Army

Move forward, We are the iron New Fourth Army
