After the liberation of the country he made positive efforts to unite young people close around the party, build regular revolutionary armed forces and firmly defend the revolutionary base in the northern half of Korea in hearty response to the line of building a new country put forward by the President. During the arduous Fatherland Liberation War fought to beat back the U.S. imperialists' armed invasion he led servicepersons to crush enemies, contributing to the victory in the war.
After the war, he thoroughly implemented the party's self-defensive military line, holding an important post in the People's Army, and thus contributed to developing the army into invincible revolutionary armed forces.
