Lyrics: Guang William. J (Zhang Guangnian);
Music: Xian Xinghai;
Its lyrics are:
The wind is whistling and the horse is barking.
The Yellow River is roaring, the Yellow River is roaring.
The hills in Hexi are lofty, and the sorghum in Hedong and Hebei is ripe.
There are many anti-Japanese heroes in the mountains.
In the green tent, the guerrillas are heroic.
Picked up a soil gun and a foreign gun, waving broadsword and spear.
Defend my hometown and the Yellow River.
Defend North China and all China.
The wind is whistling and the horse is barking.
The Yellow River is roaring, the Yellow River is roaring.
The hills in Hexi are lofty, and the sorghum in Hedong and Hebei is ripe.
There are many anti-Japanese heroes in the mountains.
In the green tent, the guerrillas are heroic.
Picked up a soil gun and a foreign gun, waving broadsword and spear.
Defend my hometown and the Yellow River.
Defend North China and all China.
The wind is whistling and the horse is barking.
The Yellow River is roaring, the Yellow River is roaring.
Hexi hills are towering, east of Hedong and north of Hebei.
Sorghum is ripe, among the mountains.
There are many anti-Japanese heroes, under the green gauze account.
Guerrillas are brave and good at fighting, and in the end they are all local guns and foreign guns.
Waving broadsword and spear, defending hometown.
Defend the Yellow River and North China.
Defend all China.
