   Pyongyang, October 5 (KCNA) -- General Secretary Kim Jong Il met and congratulated the participants in the meeting of commanders and political instructors of KPA battalions. When Kim Jong Il appeared in the photographing site, the participants enthusiastically welcomed him with stormy cheers of "hurrah!" and loud shouts of slogans "Let's defend with our lives the headquarters of the revolution headed by the great Comrade Kim Jong Il!," "Let's fight at the cost of our lives for the respected Supreme Commander Comrade Kim Jong Il!," "Human bullets and bombs!" and "Devoted defence!"
    Kim Jong Il waved back to the enthusiastically cheering attendants of the meeting and sent warm greetings to them.
    Present there were Jo Myong Rok, first vice-chairman of the NDC of the DPRK and director of the General Political Department of the KPA, Kim Yong Chun, member of the NDC of the DPRK and chief of the KPA General Staff, Kim Il Chol, member of the NDC of the DPRK and minister of the People's Armed Forces, the commanders of the services and arms of the KPA, staff members of the KPA Supreme Command and general officers.
    Kim Jong Il warmly congratulated the participants of the meeting for having consolidated their battalions as a-match-for-a-hundred elite ranks of human bullets and bombs through a vigorous drive to implement the party's military line and thus made positive contributions to bolstering the KPA as invincible revolutionary armed forces intensely loyal to the party, the leader, the country and the people.
    Then he had a picture taken with them.
    He expressed expectation and belief that the battalion commanders and political instructors would further strengthen the battalions, the lowest units of the KPA to be commanded and basic combat units, politically and militarily so that the KPA may creditably discharge its honorable mission and duty as the pillar and main force of the revolution.
