This fiery march is from 1937 (a good year for Gunka lol). It was pretty popular and is always included on collections of that period.
Another product of the Sino-Japanese war, this song talks about the battlefield, its hardships and the duty of the soldier.
Certain verses just glorify the demanded heroism of the Japanese soldier such as the one with the dying soldier shouting 'Tennouheika Banzai!' (May the Emperor live for 10 thousand years!).
Another verse explains what the soldier believed he was fighting for, 'peace' in Asia (and liberation of the countries they entered, under the wing of Japanese influence).
