假如战争今天爆发, If War Breaks Out Today. Another Soviet-style thousand-men-and-women-shouting-into-microphone march...I love it.

We can tell it's "post-Cultural Revolution" since the lyrics basically doesn't have anything to do with the "Party Chairman Revolution" theme. It also has this very Cold War vibe with talks about "if war breaks out today". But this song is actually super new--it came out in 2013, which is kinda surprising for a Soviet-style march like this.

This song came out from another call to all military units for "military-strengthening themed songs" made by no other but our dear old PLA General Political Department Propaganda Department (总政治部宣传部)--you might remember that "When That Day Comes" (当那一天来临) song also came out of such a contest, but that was in 2005, and this time it's 2013. This song is a part of the "Military-Strengthening Battle Song" (强军战歌) series organized by the General Political Department that included a good few dozens of new military songs. Well, too bad we won't see those fellas from the GPD anymore since it's been disbanded in the 2015 PLA reform.

This traditional Soviet-style performance was done by the General Political Department Song and Dance Troupe in the 2014 Theatrical Performance for Veterans. THERE IS ALSO A ROCK VERSION of this song, performed in the 2013 Military-Strengthening Battle Song Concert by a certain 66284 Unit, which I have no idea what kind of military unit it is (just so you know I haven't memorized all the PLA unit IDs because I have a life), but it's rock and it's pretty cool, and you can check it out here：

LYRICS
磨砺意志的铠甲
压满智慧的弹夹
人未出发
心已到达
意念在厮杀
军人的魂魄
在制高点上挺拔
一切为了面对
假如战争今天爆发

每一天都全副披挂
每一刻都整装待发
我用生命向使命承诺
假如战争今天爆发
这就是我的回答

抛开温情的牵挂
跨越极限的关卡
旗在翻飞
梦已合围
胆略再穿插
军人的血性
在冲锋号中锻打
一切为了迎接
假如战争今天爆发

每一天都全副披挂
每一刻都整装待发
我用生命向使命承诺
假如战争今天爆发
这就是我的回答

每一天都全副披挂
每一刻都整装待发
我用生命向使命承诺
假如战争今天爆发
这就是我的回答
这就是我的回答

Harden the armour of resolve
Fill up the magazine of knowledge
I’m still here
My heart is there
My mind is fighting hard
The soldier’s spirit
standing firm on the high ground
So I won’t be afraid
If war breaks out today

Everyday I’m in full gear
Every second I’m ready to roll
I pledge to duty with my life
If war breaks out
This will be my answer

Put aside the caring love
Cross over the human limit
Flags are flying
Dreams are flanking
Mettle is breaking through
The soldier’s ferocity
Forged in the call for charge
So I won’t be afraid
If war breaks out today

Everyday I’m in full gear
Every second I’m ready to roll
I pledge to duty with my life
If war breaks out
This will be my answer

Everyday I’m in full gear
Every second I’m ready to roll
I pledge to duty with my life
If war breaks out
This will be my answer
