Tradition of Victories of DPRK

Pyongyang, March 20 (KCNA) -- The army and people of the DPRK are filled with the will to annihilate the enemy, determined to bring victory to Songun Korea through a resolute and relentless war of right for reunification, should the U.S. imperialists and the south Korean war maniacs invade an inch of the sky, land and sea of the DPRK.

It is the revolutionary temperament and proud tradition of the army and people of the DPRK to win victories all the time in the death-defying fight with the aggressors.

The anti-Japanese armed struggle was a war waged by the Korean People's Revolutionary Army against the Japanese imperialists' Kwantung Army one million strong without a rear of the state or support of a regular army.

The anti-Japanese revolutionary forerunners and people greeted the day of national liberation by routing the formidable Japanese imperialists who spread the myth of their "invincible Imperial Army", looking up to President Kim Il Sung as the sun of the nation and legendary hero.

The army and people of the DPRK shattered the myth of the "mightiness" of the U.S. imperialists and emerged as the victor in the Fatherland Liberation War by creating a lot of tactics and miracles beyond the usage and common sense of the war when the U.S. imperialists and their satellites invaded the young DPRK which was less than two years old.

The U.S imperialists brought dark clouds of war over Korea in the Pueblo incident and Panmunjom incident in the last century. But they fell on their knees each time in face of the indomitable spirit of the army and people of the DPRK.

The army and people of the DPRK defended their idea and system by shattering single-handedly the offensive of the imperialist allied forces to stifle the DPRK in the last decade of the 20th century when an anti-socialist storm swept the world with the east-west cold war compressed to DPRK-U.S. confrontation.

The DPRK has been further fortified as the impregnable socialist bulwark in the new century and won a brilliant victory in the acute standoff with the imperialists.

The spokesman of the General Staff of the Korean People's Army declared in a recent statement to the U.S imperialists and the south Korean puppet war maniacs who had launched into the aggressive Key Resolve and Foal Eagle joint military exercises, defying repeated warnings of the DPRK, that the revolutionary armed forces of the DPRK would respond with a prompt and merciless military action to a trifling hostile action of the enemy infringing on its sovereignty and violating its territory, territorial waters and air space.
