The great leader Kim Il Sung was an iron-willed, brilliant commander who emerged ever-victorious with his outstanding military strategy and commanding art.
He humbled the US imperialists boasting of being the “strongest” in the world for the first time in history and led the Fatherland Liberation War to a brilliant victory, demonstrating the spirit of heroic Korea all over the world.
Victory of Ideology
War can be called a decisive battle based on physical strength and at the same time, a confrontation in ideology and military wisdom and strategy.
The brilliant victory in the past Fatherland Liberation War was that of the Juche idea authored by Kim Il Sung and the military idea based on it.
Kim Il Sung presented the idea on turning the Fatherland Liberation War into an all-people war, the idea on definitely ensuring the politico-ideological and strategic and tactical superiority of the army in the whole process of the war, the idea on satisfying the material need of the war with our own efforts, the idea on correctly combining large and small units operations and regular and guerrilla warfares and fighting mountain warfare and night warfare well.
All his ideas were the most scientific and revolutionary ideas stemming from the principle of the theory of ideology of Juche and they were the original ones of Korean style based on the specific reality and conditions of the country.
Victory of Strategy and Tactics
Kim Il Sung turned adversity into favourable conditions with his outstanding and seasoned commanding art, actively opening the turning phase of war victory.

Secret of Great Victory in War
The great leader Kim Il Sung was an iron-willed, brilliant commander who emerged ever-victorious with his outstanding military strategy and commanding art.
He humbled the US imperialists boasting of being the “strongest” in the world for the first time in history and led the Fatherland Liberation War to a brilliant victory, demonstrating the spirit of heroic Korea all over the world.
Victory of Ideology
War can be called a decisive battle based on physical strength and at the same time, a confrontation in ideology and military wisdom and strategy.
The brilliant victory in the past Fatherland Liberation War was that of the Juche idea authored by Kim Il Sung and the military idea based on it.
Kim Il Sung presented the idea on turning the Fatherland Liberation War into an all-people war, the idea on definitely ensuring the politico-ideological and strategic and tactical superiority of the army in the whole process of the war, the idea on satisfying the material need of the war with our own efforts, the idea on correctly combining large and small units operations and regular and guerrilla warfares and fighting mountain warfare and night warfare well.
All his ideas were the most scientific and revolutionary ideas stemming from the principle of the theory of ideology of Juche and they were the original ones of Korean style based on the specific reality and conditions of the country.
Victory of Strategy and Tactics
Kim Il Sung turned adversity into favourable conditions with his outstanding and seasoned commanding art, actively opening the turning phase of war victory.
He applied strategies and tactics such as immediate and overall counterattack against the enemy’s sudden invasion, consecutive attacks on all fronts and siege warfare to annihilate the enemy group, formation of the second front with regular units behind the enemy lines, mountain and night warfares, active position warfare, assault, sniper group’s movement, aircraft-hunting team movement and tank hunters’ team movement. They were the wise, peculiar and outstanding strategy and tactics no military strategist in all ages and countries had ever presented.
So the former President of Portugal, who was the chief of staff of the Portuguese army during the Korean War, said: “At that time the operational plan was made by the United States after several discussions with tens of generals who were chiefs of staff and military experts of Western countries on the side of the United States. But General Kim Il Sung defeated it single-handedly. Witnessing it with my own eyes, I learned that General Kim Il Sung is the only gifted military strategist and great brilliant commander in the world.”
Victory of Spiritual Strength
The decisive factor deciding the fate of war lies not in any weapons or military equipment but in the ideological and spiritual state of man handling them. This was the viewpoint of Kim Il Sung on the war.
The service personnel of the Korean People’s Army went over to an immediate and decisive counterattack from the beginning of the war to turn the tables and give consecutive attacks to the enemy in firm unity around Kim Il Sung with the faith that they can win a sure victory in the war as long as they are led by him.
They devoted their lives to defending even an inch of land without hesitation and the people in the rear turned belt with bare hands to make hand grenades and produced foodgrains in the hail of the enemy’s bullets during the war.
Indeed, the spirit of defending the country and mass heroism displayed by the brave soldiers of the People’s Army and people were the secret of the brilliant victory in the Fatherland Liberation War.
