The human history records numberless big or small wars but there cannot be found a war in which a victory was achieved by waging guerilla warfare against a mighty aggressive army.

The anti-Japanese revolutionary war President Kim Il Sung personally organized and led was a genuine model of anti-imperialist national liberation war in which guerilla warfare was waged as its main form.

The guerilla warfare was applied as one of battle forms down through generations and regarded as a secondary or auxiliary means because large-unit operation and regular warfare were regarded as absolute.

The previous working-class military theory also set it forth as a premise that guerilla warfare can be conducted only when state backing or assistance of regular army is secured.

President Kim Il Sung made all-out efforts to find the mode of armed struggle appropriate to the reality of Korea and, at Mingyuegou Meeting in December 1931, advanced the unique military strategic idea on organizing and waging the anti-Japanese armed struggle with guerilla warfare as its main mode.

It was a brilliant discovery beyond imagination and a scientific and creative decision that he set guerilla warfare as a main struggle mode of national liberation war and put forward it as an independent military strategy.

The fundamental condition guaranteeing the victory of guerilla warfare was active people’s participation and their support.

The Korean People’s Revolutionary Army regarded as "a drop in the ocean" by the Japanese imperialists achieved the cause of national liberation by vigorous guerilla warfare while building firm mass foundation and strengthening family ties with people under the guidance of the President.

During the anti-Japanese revolutionary war the guerilla warfare demonstrated its validity and might to the full as an armed struggle mode of annihilating the huge army of imperialists by dint of the politico-ideological and strategic and tactical superiority.

Indeed, the President was a peerlessly illustrious commander who achieved victory by dint of unique guerilla warfare in the war to liberate the nation from Japanese colonial rule.
