At the beginning of August 1945 the Japanese imperialists built major fortresses along the border area and clamoured that it was an “impregnable defence line” while concentrating huge armed forces on the area. It was a big disturbance for the operation of final attack to liberate the country.
When even the Soviet high-ranking military officers took great pain over how to break through the enemy’s line, President Kim Il Sung clarified an outstanding plan of operation to organize a partial battle.
It was the President’s brilliant idea of operation that small units should attack suddenly the enemy’s major points of military importance and drive them into confusion so that they could reveal their hidden defence system, manpower and weapons at a hit and then make a final and general attack on them.
Thanks to his operation plan, the small units of the Korean People’s Revolutionary Army launched sudden attacks on the major points of military importance at midnight of August 8, 1945 and turned the enemy’s “impregnable defence line” into shambles, thus providing a favourable phase for the final attack operation.
