Lyrics of "Militia are Heroes"

Composed by Li Tongshu, Li Yansheng

The militia are all heroes

Not afraid of hardships and difficulties

Fighting mines to protect Japan's hometown

It's our good partner

Without iron mines, we can make stone mines

Without explosives, we can run them over ourselves

The mountains are full of stones

The devils are frightened by the bombing

The militia are all heroes

Not afraid of hardships and difficulties. A minefield was set up all over the mountain

The devil was blown up to the sky

The devil was blown up to the sky
