Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)

   Pyongyang, December 26 (KCNA) -- General Secretary Kim Jong Il inspected the command of KPA Unit 109 honored with the title of O Jung Hup-led 7th Regiment. He went round the monument to the on-the-spot guidance given by President Kim Il Sung, a room for the education in the revolutionary history and a room devoted to the history of the unit.
    He stressed the need for the unit to give fuller play to the honor of the vanguard unit in the future, too, saying that it is the unit with a glorious tradition of struggle as it registered such shining results in battles as wiping out huge manpower of the enemy and destroying a lot of his combat and technical equipment by displaying popular heroism in various battles during the past Fatherland Liberation War and, in this course, produced many heroes of the Republic and recipients of orders.
    He watched the training of servicepersons at the combined training room.
    He set forth the tasks to be undertaken to increase the combat capability of the unit in every way, greatly satisfied to learn that the unit has firmly prepared all the officers and men to be a-match-for-a-hundred combatants capable of satisfactorily carrying out their combat duties under any circumstances by putting the training on a regular basis.
    He acquainted himself with how the political and ideological work is being conducted at the unit, going round a servicepersons' hall and other entertainment and educational facilities.
    He praised the unit for fully applying the Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Army's style of political work to train all the servicepersons into staunch fighters equipped with transparent revolutionary outlook. A new turn is taking place in the political and ideological trait and fighting spirit of the soldiers of the People's Army in the Songun era and the might of the KPA has been remarkably augmented, he noted, emphasizing that no force on earth can match this great strong army fully equipped with the spirit of devotedly defending the leader.
    After going round supply service facilities of the unit, he expressed great satisfaction over the fact that the commanding officers of the unit have provided its servicepersons with good living conditions and highly appreciated the assiduous way they have managed its economic life.
