ON THE OCCASION OF FOUNDING THE ANTI-JAPANESE PEOPLE'S GUERRILLA ARMY


Speech at the Ceremony to Found the Anti-Japanese People's Guerrilla Army April 25, 1932

This speech marks the creation of the army to crush the Japanese imperialists and to achieve the historic cause of national liberation. The fascist Japanese had become more brutal and brigandish and time had come for the Korean people to either fight back or die on their knees. Kim Il Sung built on the success of the Korean Revolutionary Army, the Young Communist League, and the Anti-Japanese Youth League. Forming these organizations first, he was able to entrench the socialist ideals into the Korean people and the Chinese compatriots in order to assure a victory over the Japanese occupiers.

The great leader called for the rapid expansion of the army for it to be a true people's army, and for the use of guerrilla tactics in order that the fight be successful.

MEMORABLE QUOTES

"A high degree of revolutionary determination and infinite loyalty to the revolution are the source of the strength of the people's guerrilla army and a decisive guarantee of its triumph over Japanese imperialism."
