Imperial Japanese military song - Manchuria March (満州行進曲)

This is a song about Manchuria, the Japanese viewed Manchuria as lifeline of Japan, owing to its resources and population. Today, Manchuria as a (disputed) nation no longer exists, but as parts of Dongbei China and Russia.
Translated by me, I do not support Japanese imperialism; may not be perfect because I'm not Japanese.

原創中文翻譯： 『 満州行進曲 』 《滿洲進行曲》 過ぎし日露の戦ひに 勇士の骨をうづめたる 忠霊塔を仰ぎ見よ 赤き血潮に色染めし 夕陽をあびて空たかく 千里曠野に聳えたり 時值日露鏖戰後 死士屍骨埋於此 遙看忠靈塔高矗 天光之下血色顯 朗朗青空日高懸 千里曠野皆照遍 酷寒零下三十度 銃も剣も砲身も 駒の蹄も凍るとき すはや近づく敵の影 防寒服が重いぞと 互ひに顔を見合はせる 嚴冬零下三十度 寒光出鞘影閃爍 馬駒蹄結半尺凍 重重敵形匿叢中 身著衣襖如鉛重 兵士相看露笑容 しつかりかぶる鉄かぶと たちまちつくる散兵壕 我が連隊旗ひらひらと 見上げる空に日の丸の 銀翼光る爆撃機 弾に舞ひ立つ伝書鳩 堅固鋼盔頭上戴 建築戰壕又幾座 連隊旗幟迎風揚 抬頭便見日之丸 銀翼戰機翱翔過 信鴿彈林中穿梭 戦ひやんで陣営の かがやき冴える星の下 黃色い泥水汲み取つて かしぐ飯盒に立つ湯気の ぬくみに探ぐる肌守り 故郷いかにと語り合ふ 直至戰止紮營寨 輝輝星辰照夜空 黃沙泥水流淌過 白飯熱氣蒸騰出 守將肌膚感暖意 話及何時歸故鄉 面影さらぬ戦友の 遺髪の前にいまひらく 慰問袋のキャラメルを ささげる心きみ知るや 背嚢枕に夜もすがら ねむれぬ朝の大ふぶき 長發麵容我戰友 緩緩打開慰問袋 慰問袋中藏焦糖 誠炙熱心天皇知 身枕睡袋好安眠 誰知晨起暴風雪 東洋平和のためならば 我等がいのち捨つるとも なにか惜しまん日本の 生命線はここにあり 九千萬のはらからと ともに守らん満洲を 戰為東亞永和平 死為社稷何所惜 我軍駐紮在此處 是為日本生命線 九千萬眾齊奮起 固守滿洲王道土

I like that flag, although I doubt they sell designs that are exactly the same.

[@richmondlandersenfells2238]

The thumbnail photo you see is from the imperial Japanese anti bandit squadron. An elite unite who specializes in the seizing and terminating all bandits and guerrillas roaming the countryside as well as locating and terminating thugs and criminals operating within the open cities of manchukuo. The anti bandit skull squadron was pretty much the equivalent of the Japanese sturmtruppen and played a huge key role in the final pacification of Manchuria in 1942 which is almost the equivalent of the final solution of the third Reich.

[@borgor4966]

Interesting, I noticed the flag's similarity to the Totenkopf and this explanation provides the logical clarification for its resemblance.

The man near the middle of the group, holding the (from our perspective) right-hand corner of the flag, looks White. Did any Whites fight alongside the Japanese like this? Perhaps he's simply of Ainu descent.

[@ivan5595]

There were white soldiers in IJA, were mostly used for patroling, I don't think they used them for warfare. And the Jomon phenotype sometimes shows itself once in a while in the Japanese population, that's why you see some Japanese having beards.

[@mooseolini1447]

@@ivan5595 Primarily Russians fleeing the Communist revolution, right? I know there were Dutchmen who were essentially kept in Japan as honoured prisoners. Perhaps some Dutch were part of the IJA, too? It's strange to imagine. I take it you don't know who the individual in that image is, though?

[@shako4907]

@@mooseolini1447 nobody does, he was from the Skull Squadron though

[@kn2549]

How does he look white? Lol And Ainu people dont look anywhere near caucasian.

[@mooseolini1447]

@@kn2549 Nobody else seems to disagree that the man in question "looks" White. "lol"? Yes, hilarious. As for the Ainu, prior to the Meiji declaration to have them mix with the Japanese majority (forced marriages), they were (still are, in fact) White-looking. Certainly moreso than the average Japanese person. So much so that they were initially classified as Caucasoid in Imperial Japan. Additionally, some Japanese referred to Russians as 'red-haired Ainu'. So, clearly the Japanese of the day agreed with me. You know better though, right?
