President Kim Il Sung held the meeting of the Party and the Young Communist League cadres at Mingyuegou in the middle of December 1931, and discussed a form of the armed struggle against Japanese imperialism.
At the meeting Kim Il Sung told participants with an emphasis that guerilla warfare should be the main form of the struggle under conditions of the country.
After hearing him some people expressed doubts: Will it be possible to defeat the enemy by waging such a form of the armed struggle? Will it be possible to beat, with an irregular armed force such as a guerrilla army, an army several millions strong equipped with modern, highly efficient weapons such as tanks, artillery and war-planes when we will have to fight without any home front or the support of a regular army, and in a foreign territory at that?
Kim Il Sung disabused them.
Kim Il Sung said.
“We are the sons of ruined people who have been deprived of all their state power, territory and resources. We are empty-handed young people who are now living in a foreign country. However, we have not hesitated to challenge the Japanese imperialists. What is it we are relying on in doing so? We have decided to start an anti-Japanese war by relying on the people. The people are the state, the people are the home front and the people are the regular army. When the war starts, the people will become soldiers and rise up. Therefore, the guerrilla warfare which we shall wage can be called a people’s war.”
