One day in February 1937 500 Japanese imperialists who wore white cloth with bandaged guns crawled in stealth into the Hongtoushan Secret Camp.

There were only about twenty guards in the secret camp at that time.

President Kim Il Sung issued an order to take it easy and occupy the southern ridge of Hongtoushan as soon as possible.

If they occupy the ridge, they could have a bird’s eye view of enemy’s movement and defeat the enemy attacking along a knife ridge and, once the enemy retreated, they could drive them into a valley and destroy them all.

Kim Il Sung ordered a commanding officer to open the way for the enemy and remove sentries from the post, ensuring that they withdraw along the ridge within sight of the enemy and then turn to the valley some time later.

As soon as Kim Il Sung ordered to fire, the enemy’s position turned into shambles. Some were shot to fall down dead, some rolled over the ridge spontaneously and some rushed about to be alive but slipped and buried into the deep snow of the valley.

20 against 500—it was a great victory in the Hongtoushan battle.
