Military Miracles in Fatherland Liberation War

Pyongyang, July 27 (KCNA) -- Under the leadership of President Kim Il Sung, the invincible and iron-willed commander, the service personnel and people of the DPRK defeated the enemy's numerical and military and technical superiority by means of their politico-ideological and strategic and tactical superiority and won a brilliant victory in the Fatherland Liberation War (June 25, 1950 - July 27, 1953).

When they ignited the Korean War, the U.S. imperialists miscalculated that the young DPRK would be easily conquered by their huge military muscle.

During the three-year war, the U.S. imperialists hurled into the Korean front the troops amounting to more than two millions, including one third of the U.S. Army, one fifth of the U.S. Air Force, most of the U.S. Pacific Fleet and the armies of its satellite countries they mobilized by abusing the name of the UN, and spent over 73 million tons of munitions, 11 times those they consumed in the Pacific War.

But the myth of "mightiness" of the U.S. imperialists, who boasted of being the "strongest" in the world, was shattered and their new-type weapons destroyed since the start of the war.

During the war, the Korean People's Army killed, wounded and captured more than 1 567 120 enemies including 405 490 U.S. imperialist aggressor troops and captured and destroyed a huge amount of combat equipment including 12 220 aircrafts, 3 250 tanks and armored vehicles.

This was nearly 2.3 times as much as the losses the U.S. imperialists suffered in the four-year Pacific War during the Second World War.

Taft, the then commander of the U.S. forces, said that it was very clear that the U.S. was defeated in Korea, and that there was no enough army to repel the Korean People's Army in the world. Ridgway, commander of the "UN Forces", said that the U.S. should not forget the bitter mistakes and lessons it suffered in the Korean War and the armistice talks with the DPRK.

Clark, commander of the U.S. forces in the Far East and commander of the "UN Forces", also deplored that he came to be dishonored as the first commander of the U.S. forces who did not win victory and signed the armistice agreement in the history of the U.S.

The U.S. imperialists' fate was so miserable as to ignite the Korean War, and the victory won by the brave army and people of the DPRK in the war was recorded as a miracle in the world history of wars. -0-
