Myth of U.S. "Mightiness" Shattered in Korean War
Pyongyang, July 4 (KCNA) -- The myth of the "mightiness" of the U.S. imperialists was exploded in the Korean War (June 1950-July 1953) for the first time in history.

It was entirely attributable to President Kim Il Sung's military wisdom.

The President always countered the aggressors with offensive spirit and unparalleled courage and grit.

His Juche-based war tactics resulted in the liberation of the city of Seoul three days after the outbreak of the war and sinking of a U.S. heavy cruiser, called "moving islet in the sea", by attack of only four torpedo boats.

An advance unit of the so-called U.S. "undefeated division" was annihilated at a stroke, attacked by a unit of the Korean People's Army. KPA units broke through in two days the enemy defence line built along the River Kum as "the line of no retreat". The commander of the "undefeated division" was arrested by a young KPA soldier in a battle in Taejon City.

In a nutshell, the war brought about the beginning of decline for the U.S. imperialists.
