Speech Delivered at the Meeting of Party and Young Communist League Cadres Held at Mingyuegou, Yanji County December 16, 1931
In this speech the Great Leader says that the time is right to urgently put together a fighting force of anti-imperialists, using the tactics and ideas from Marxist-Leninism, and to prepare for guerrilla warfare. The fascist Japanese occupiers will not leave on their own, violence must be waged against them. He calls for the creation of the Anti-Japanese People's Guerrilla Army, and for weapons to be stolen from the enemy using homemade spears and clubs.
Kim Il Sung calls for the creation of guerrilla zones in rural areas as places the army can train, and selects the mountainous area along the Tuman-gang River as the base of operations. He calls for a united front with Korean and Chinese peoples. Chinese at this time in Manchuria are also suffering at the hands of the imperialist Japanese.
MEMORABLE QUOTES
"Guerrilla warfare is, in essence, a people's warfare that presupposes the active participation of the masses. The energetic participation and support and encouragement of the people is the basic condition that guarantees the constant reinforcement of the guerrilla army and the success of guerrilla warfare. Only when there is a solid mass foundation and close ties of kinship with the masses can the guerrilla army break bottlenecks, overcome difficulties and win a final victory however protracted and arduous the struggle."
"Whether or not we can realize the historical cause of the country's restoration by organizing and waging the armed struggle and wiping out Japanese imperialism depends entirely upon how we discharge our assigned revolutionary tasks."
