KPA servicemen vow to firmly defend their country
Pyongyang, February 1 (KCNA) -- A gathering of servicemen of the Korean People's Army in Mt. Taedok was held on the spot on January 31 to bring about collective innovations in rounding off their combat preparations under the slogan "a-match-for-a-hundred" put forth by President Kim Il Sung. When Kim Il Sung visited a post on Mt. Taedok in the forefront area on Feb. 6, Juche 52 (1963) he said that a famous general in a war had been called "a-match-for-a-hundred" from the olden times and instructed that this slogan should be upheld by the people's army.The reporter and speakers recalled that Kim Il Sung put forth this slogan, providing the people's army with important guidelines to be held fast to by it forever, adding that this is an outstanding exploit performed by him in the cause of building the army of Juche which will always remain shining together with the proud history of the Korean revolutionary armed forces.
They also pointed out that leader Kim Jong Il clearly taught commanding officers of the people's army the revolutionary essence of the slogan and its requirements on that historical day and has worked heart and soul to strengthen and develop the people's army into revolutionary armed forces, each being a match for a hundred and provided dynamic guidance to the drive to this end for four decades.
An appeal was adopted there.
It called on the servicemen of all arms and services to be fully combat-ready so that they may promptly go into decisive actions once they are given an order by Supreme Commander Kim Jong Il.
If the enemy invades the inviolable land, territorial air and waters of the country even 0.001 mm, the KPA will deal deadly blows at the aggressors and wipe them out to the last man, they warned.
