Pyongyang, June 28 (KCNA) — The Fatherland Liberation War (June 25, 1950-July 27, 1953) was a war in which the DPRK (founded on September 9, 1948) honourably defended its freedom and independence of the country from the aggression of the imperialist allied forces headed by the U.S. imperialists.
The war, which can be called a confrontation between a rifle and A-bomb, witnessed military miracles unprecedented in the history of world wars thanks to the outstanding military ideas, Juche-oriented war tactics and superb strategy and tactics of President Kim Il Sung.
Liberation of Seoul, the Stronghold of the Enemy, in Just Three Days through Immediate Counterattack
The fate of the war depends on how to cope with the sudden large-scale aggression of the enemy.
The history of world wars records those countries which suffered repeated defeats as they failed to respond to the enemies’ aggression in time even though they had strong military muscle.
No one had imagined that the Korean People’s Army, which was just two years old, would launch an immediate and decisive counterattack and general offensive all over the front against the enemy’s sudden invasion.
It was a bold decision that could be made only by President Kim Il Sung possessed of military wisdom and extraordinary commanding art.
On June 25, 1950, the first day of the war, he convened an emergency meeting of the Cabinet and ordered to launch a decisive counterattack to wipe out the invaders. He gave instructions to deal a fatal blow at the enemies in the area of the 38th parallel and Seoul where the main group of the enemy is concentrated with the strongest density of firepower, regarding it as the main point of counterattack.
According to the strategic measures and operational policies of the President, the units of the People’s Army rapidly expanded their combat successes throughout the front, concentrating their main forces on the operation for liberating Seoul.
Over the fact that the KPA repulsed the armed invasion of the enemy within a few hours through an immediate counterattack, the world admired that it was a miracle unprecedented in the history of world wars.
The tide of the war was turned in a moment and the DPRK’s victory became certain from the beginning.
The enemies who lost Seoul lamented that their defeat was not just a defeat but a collapse.
The victory in the operation for liberating Seoul, the fruition of the President’s correct choice of the main strike direction and his extraordinary military art and Juche-oriented strategy and tactics on concentration of forces and equipment and combination of large units’ operation and small units’ operation, is proudly recorded on the first page of the history of the Fatherland Liberation War.
