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

   Pyongyang, June 9 (KCNA) -- General Secretary Kim Jong Il inspected a sub-unit of KPA Unit No. 176 honored with the title of O Jung Hup-led 7th regiment.
    He was accompanied by KPA Generals Hyon Chol Hae and Ri Myong Su.
    He looked round the monument to President Kim Il Sung's on-site guidance to the sub-unit and the room devoted to the education in the revolutionary history.
    While seeing the historical relics and materials associated with the footprints of the President, Kim Jong Il recalled with deep emotion the unforgettable historical days.
    He said that the sub-unit has grown to be matchless combat ranks under the wise leadership and meticulous care of the President.
    Kim Jong Il highly appreciated the feats performed by the sub-unit, noting that the sub-unit honored with the title of O Jung Hup-led 7th regiment before any others is the one with a shining tradition as it has always taken the lead in upholding the WPK's Songun leadership by setting an example in the combat and political training to be followed by the whole army and displaying popular heroism in the sites of the socialist construction.
    After acquainting himself with the sub-unit's performance of duty, he watched the training of its soldiers.
    After watching the training, he expressed satisfaction over the fact that the soldiers of the sub-unit have grown to be a-match-for-a hundred fighters fully prepared politically and ideologically and in military technique so that they may wipe out any formidable enemy at one blow and firmly defend the socialist country. He set forth the tasks to be fulfilled by the sub-unit to further increase its combat capability.
    He took deep care of the living of the soldiers of the sub-unit as their real father would do, making the rounds of an education room, a bedroom, a mess hall, a kitchen, a wash-cum-bathroom and an outdoor resting place and other places of the sub-unit.
    He appreciated the efforts made by the sub-unit, greatly satisfied to learn that it has successfully built entertainment, educational and supply service facilities by thoroughly applying the way the Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Army managed its unit and its commanding officers, in particular, have taken utmost care of the living of its soldiers with paternal affection.
    He enjoyed an art performance given by soldiers of a company of the sub-unit.
    All soldiers of our People's Army are not only strong in faith and will but creators of noble and beautiful morality and culture and arts, he noted, stressing no force on earth can match these steel-strong elite ranks advancing, singing loudly songs of struggle and faith.
    He had a photo session with the servicepersons of the sub-unit.
