During the Fatherland Liberation War (June 25, 1950—July 27, 1953) President Kim Il Sung made sure that the military and political training was intensified among service personnel and dogmatic tendencies were overcome in the military field.
In June Juche 40 (1951) he summoned the DPRK heroes and exemplary combatants from the front to the Supreme Headquarters to have a talk with them.
Noting that it was an important duty of soldiers to conduct military and political training well, he said: First of all, you should well receive political training. Through political lessons the People’s Army units should thoroughly instil the Party’s lines and policies into the soldiers so that they could act as intended by the Party.
Giving as gift a submachine gun, on which the slogan “Annihilate the US imperialist aggressors!” is etched, to every of the DPRK heroes and exemplary combatants, he said that the rifles were permeated with the precious blood and sweat shed by the revolutionary forerunners and other Korean people and called on them to destroy the US imperialist aggressors to the last by means of those arms.
One January day, while having a talk with commanders and political officers of the Korean People’s Army, he pointed to the need to overcome the dogmatic tendencies in the military field. As Westerners use knives and forks to have meals, we couldn’t follow suit, he said, adding we had better dine using a spoon and chopsticks following our traditional table manners and we should also deal with foreign war tactics in this way.
True to his instructions, while displaying matchless bravery and mass heroism in every battle, the KPA service personnel made the best use of mortars and howitzers to suit the topographical conditions of their mountainous country and took advantage of its mountainous landform, thus making tangible contributions to winning the war.
