Kim Jong Il Inspects KPA Sub-unit

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, July 29 (KCNA) -- Supreme Commander of the Korean People's Army Kim Jong Il, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and chairman of the DPRK National Defence Commission, inspected a sub-unit of KPA Unit 821 on the frontline. He was greeted on the spot by commanding officers of the unit and the sub-unit.
    Then he mounted the forward commanding post on the top of a height where he received a report on the situation from the commander of the unit.
    He was greatly satisfied to learn that the servicepersons of the unit, firmly equipped with the Party's Juche-oriented war methods, have turned their defence theatre into an impregnable fortress with the noble patriotic determination to devotedly defend the socialist homeland by force of arms and burning hatred for the U.S. imperialist aggressors.
    He watched the firepower training of servicepersons.
    He set forth important tasks which would serve as guidelines in increasing the unit's combat capability in every way, pleased to learn that all the servicepersons of the sub-unit have been trained as a-match-for-a hundred fighters capable of beating back any invasion of the enemy at a single stroke.
    He highly praised them for having made full combat preparations.
    Noting that intensified training is the master key to preparing all the servicepersons as a-match-for-a hundred fighters, he underscored the need to pay primary attention to the work to implement the Party's policy on training to the letter at all times.
    He acquainted himself with the service and living of servicepersons, going round an education room, a bedroom, a mess hall, a kitchen, a washroom, a vegetable field and other places of the unit.
    He was greatly satisfied to see that the servicepersons of the sub-unit have spruced up the outside and inside of the barracks by thoroughly applying the way the anti-Japanese guerillas managed their unit, and built excellent entertainment and logistic facilities.
    He met with commanding officers of the unit to learn in detail about the sideline job this year. The commanding officers have a great role to play in steadily improving the supply service for the soldiers, he said, indicating ways to do so one by one.
    He spared time to attend a meeting held in the outdoor resting place to congratulate model soldiers.
    He gave servicepersons of the sub-unit a pair of binoculars and an automatic rifle as gifts before having a photo session with them.
    He was accompanied by KPA Generals Hyon Chol Hae and Pak Jae Gyong and Ri Yong Chol, member of the Central Military Commission of the WPK and first vice department director of its Central Committee.
