In diesem Zusammenhang noch ein Auszug aus dem 6. Band der Werke von Präsident Kim Il Sung:
ON THE OCCASION OF THE LIBERATION OF PYONGYANG
Appeal of the Supreme Commander of the Korean People’s Army
December 9, 1950
Dear citizens of Pyongyang, Dear fellow countrymen, brothers and sisters, Heroic People’s Army and guerrillas, Brotherly Chinese People’s Volunteers,
Pyongyang, a celebrated ancient capital of our country with a five thousand year old brilliant history and which is now the powerful democratic base of the new people’s Korea, was liberated on December 6 from the temporary occupation of the US imperialist aggressors and the traitorous Syngman Rhee clique. It is thanks to the heavy attack carried out by the units of the heroic People’s Army, the brave guerrilla units who were active in the rear of the enemy and the brotherly Chinese People’s Volunteers, under the command of the Supreme Headquarters of the Korean People’s Army.
On the occasion of the liberation of Pyongyang, allow me, on behalf of the Government of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and the Supreme Headquarters of the Korean People’s Army, to express my deep thanks to the units of the Korean People’s Army, the guerrillas and the Chinese People’s Volunteers, and offer warm congratulations to the liberated Pyongyang citizens and all fellow countrymen, brothers and sisters of Korea.
The heroic People’s Army and guerrillas, in close cooperation with the brotherly Chinese People’s Volunteers, have already liberated almost all the areas north of the 38th parallel, including Pyongyang, and some areas of the southern half, and are now continuing a large-scale annihilation programme in pursuit of the enemy who are fleeing southward in confusion. Large combined units of our brave people’s guerrillas who penetrated deep behind enemy lines have begun to attack them in different parts south of the 38th parallel.
The wild ambitions and plot of the American marauders to swallow up our country with one stroke and to conquer our people by “blitz warfare” are being shattered.
During the past two months of the sacred Fatherland Liberation War, our heroic People’s Army, an army of our country and people, was compelled to make a temporary strategic retreat before the advancing preponderant armed forces of aggression from many imperialist countries headed by the US imperialist aggressors. Our retreat, however, was a temporary one aimed to administer a powerful attack upon the enemy and wipe out and drive them out of our soil and lead the great Fatherland Liberation War to victory.
Even in the most difficult period of the retreat, all the Korean people who rose in their just struggle to defend the independence, freedom and honour of the country, never surrendered to the’enemy. They rallied firmly around the Government of the Republic and expressed through their actual struggle their firm determination to achieve the final victory at all costs.
This determination has been expressed in the all-people’s guerrilla movement conducted in all the areas of north Korea which were temporarily occupied by the enemy; it has been expressed in the widespread underground activities of people’s government and Workers’ Party organizations and in the patriotic, selfless assistance of the population to the People’s Army and the Chinese People’s Volunteers.
The people’s strength is inexhaustible. This strength is invincible.
The Korean people who have risen in the just struggle to defend the independence, freedom and honour of their country, are enjoying great encouragement and support from the peoples of the Soviet Union, China and other People’s Democracies as well as other freedom-loving people the world over. This constitutes another important source of our people’s firm faith in victory and their unlimited strength.
Dear officers and men of the People’s Army and brave fighters of the Chinese People’s Volunteers,
Men and women guerrillas,
Dear fellow countrymen, brothers and sisters,
The path to the final victory is open to us. However, we must realize that manifold difficulties and obstacles still lie ahead of us. We can win the ultimate victory only by overcoming difficulties and through grim struggle and sacrifice.
The enemy is retreating in confusion, but they are not yet annihilated. They are making more frantic efforts to regroup their forces and achieve their sinister aims at any cost.
In order to wipe out the enemy and attain the final victory in the war, we must not give the fleeing enemy any breathing time to build new defence lines or to reorganize their forces.
The People’s Army units should speed up their advance. The guerrilla units must further intensify their activities behind enemy lines, carry out incessant surprise attacks upon the enemy and block their routes of retreat and bridges, so that not a single enemy can escape.
The retreating enemy is destroying our towns, villages, factories, enterprises, railways and buildings. In the liberated areas, our people should maintain order, and quickly restore what has been damaged, and build dwelling houses to stabilize their lives as soon as possible. Along with this, they should ensure that there is a proper supply of provisions to the units of the People’s Army and the Chinese People’s Volunteers. They should repair railways, communications facilities, roads and bridges in good time and aid the front actively.
The people in those areas which are not yet liberated should employ all available means to wipe out the enemy mercilessly and protect their towns, villages, factories and mills. They must supply provisions to the guerrilla units which are fighting heroically behind enemy lines and give them every possible assistance.
All the Korean people should rally more firmly around the Government of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and march forward to the victory of the Fatherland Liberation War.
Death to our sworn enemies, the US invaders and the traitorous Syngman Rhee clique, for the misfortune they brought to our country and people!
Glory to the heroic People’s Army and the brotherly Chinese People’s Volunteers who are marching forward, destroying the enemy!
Glory to the brave men and women guerrillas who are active behind enemy lines!
Long live the united Korean people!
Long live the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea!
