"If War Breaks Out Today" (假如战争今天爆发) is a Chinese military march with a Soviet twist. It was created in 2013 during a contest for the "Military-Strengthening Battle Song" (强军战歌), a series created by the PLA General Political Department, which disbanded in 2015. This traditional Soviet-style performance was done by the GPD Song and Dance Troupe in the 2014 Theatrical Performance for Veterans.[1]

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
Chorus:
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
𝄆 Chorus 𝄇[1]
