Feats Made by Korean Armed Forces for Global Independence against Imperialism

   Pyongyang, April 25 (KCNA) -- Eighty odd years has passed since the birth of the revolutionary armed forces in Korea, which made signal contributions to the world history of struggles against imperialism.
    On April 25, Juche 21 (1932), President
Kim Il Sung founded the Anti-Japanese People's Guerrilla Army, the first revolutionary armed forces of the Korean nation, and called for forming an allied front with the Chinese nationalist anti-Japanese units.
    Since then, the revolutionary army of Korea had fully supported the anti-Japanese struggle of the Chinese people. The Korean guerrilla army, together with the Chinese units, jointly conducted many battles against the Japanese imperialists in northeastern China, including Dongning and Fusong county towns, Luozigou and Jingbohu.
    In the latter half of the 1930s, the Korean revolutionary army launched lots of military operations to defend the Soviet Union, the first socialist state in the world, under the slogan of "Defend the Soviet Union with Arms!"
    After Korea's liberation from the Japanese colonial rule, hundreds of thousands of its competent military and political cadres and young people took active part in the liberation war of China, fully displaying the great heroism and the internationalist spirit in many battle fields from the operation for liberating Changchun to the Hainan Dao landing operation.
    In this regard, Chairman Mao Zedong and Premier Zhou Enlai of China would say that its red flag with five stars is associated with the red blood shed by Korean communists.
    The heroic Korean People's Army (KPA), who defeated the U.S. imperialism in the Fatherland Liberation War (1950-1953), had rendered its sincere assistance to the world progressives in their anti-imperialist struggle, though it had to defend the DPRK's socialist system from the imperialist allied forces.
    In the Vietnam War its airmen and other servicepersons displayed the self-sacrificing spirit to smash the U.S. imperialist aggressors.
    The KPA's invincibility was also displayed to the full in the Middle East War conducted against Zionism by the Arab nations, including Egypt and Syria.
    The KPA gave unstinted assistance to the defence upbuilding in Asian, African and Latin American countries, contributing to the consolidation of their independence and sovereignty.
    The revolutionary armed forces of the DPRK with the powerful war deterrent, including diversified nuclear weapons and intercontinental ballistic missiles, are now determined to reliably defend socialism, the human cause of independence, in the van of the struggle against imperialism. -0-
