Patriotic Blood Corps

The Patriotic Blood Corps (Korean: 혈성단) also known as the Korean Patriotic Youth Blood Corps was an anti-Japanese armed group organized in Chupung, Primorsky Krai, Russia in 1920. It was founded by Kang Guk-mo, Kim Jong-hwa, and others based on members of the Korean Independence Corps who had moved from Western Jiandao. Chae Young (蔡英) was appointed commander and won the battle against the Japanese army in June 1920. In October 1920, it moved to Annuchino and integrated with the Sucheong army and the New People's Unit, but returned to Chupung in the fall of 1921.
