July 27 is a synonym for the victory of the DPRK in the fight against the U.S. imperialists.
The reports of the Supreme Headquarters of the Korean People's Army, which constantly resounded throughout the planet as a triumphant song and combat records written with blood in the fierce battle field along with the advancing ranks are unique in their aftermath and vitality and are resounding at the hearts of our people even in the 21st century.
These are a vivid example of the article's vitality.
President
"We should ensure that all our publications serve, to all intents and purposes, as a powerful ideological weapon of our party."
The famous articles in our mass media during the Fatherland Liberation War proved their vitality because they were written with revolutionary faith and will.
Our people and journalists had a faith in the President
And with this faith, the journalists and reporters defended the Supreme Headquarters at the cost of their lives, holding a pen in one hand and a gun in the other, and carried out their broadcasting tasks to the last under any conditions and circumstances.
Today, the articles in the newspaper on the day are on display at the Victorious Fatherland Liberation War Museum and other educational bases, serving as a powerful means for contributing to the education of our people and service personnel.
The famous works in our mass media during the Fatherland Liberation War proved their vitality as they showed the truth and the reality of the period.
The article is considered the most reliable record because it shows the most truthful and historical facts of the period.
The advent of articles that was required by the wartime environment during the war made it possible to ensure the credibility of the news.
The report of the Supreme Headquarters of the Korean People's Army (KPA),as a type of news article, played a role of informing strategic idea of the President through real facts and events.
The report carried the news of the rapidly changing situation at the front and the ever-expanding war results every day in the daily issue of the newspaper during the whole war, encouraging the service personnel and people to victory in the war.
This was a powerful report that showed the validity and vitality of the outstanding military strategies and tactical policies by the President
The combat records, which emerged with the war, was a report on the combat situation at all fronts and the life of the KPA officers and men on the front, telling vividly how they were performing feats.
On June 27th 1950, Rodong Sinmun, the organ newspaper of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, carried on a daily basis combat records showing the feats of a reconnaissance team of the Korean People's Army (KPA) with four who destroyed most of the enemy's company, thus raising the morale of the service personnel and people.
The combat records had the form of single-sided, extended and affirmative.
The combat report is a form of news article that was used in newspapers during the Fatherland Liberation War along with combat records.
As the battle at the front got fiercer and the results of individual units became greater, it was necessary to describe battles in a more comprehensive and more detailed way.
This led to the creation of a combat report as a form of combat news.
Typical of them are "the feats of the torpedo-boat to be recorded forever in the history of the navy of the DPRK" [July 11, 1950] and "the brave feats of the Korean People's Army, destroying the 24th US Division, breaking through the defence line of the Kumgang-Taejon and, Winning a victory in the battle and liberating Taejon"[Minju Joson, July 20, 1950].
Records of war correspondents were a powerful type of articles which showed the harsh situation of the Fatherland Liberation War.
These kinds of articles, which appeared during the war, played a great role in ensuring the viability of articles, because of their rapidity, accuracy and simplicity.
Another reason why the masterpieces of the Korean mass media during the Fatherland Liberation War had the great vitality was that they were written in journalists' blood in the most critical reality.
During the Fatherland Liberation War, war correspondents, together with the brave fighters, fought a life-and-death battle against the enemy on the burning height. In the course of this, they made reports on the struggle of precious heroes and handed it over to the world.
The original text of ‘the feats performed by the people's brave fighters on Wolmi Islet will shine forever in the national history' was vivid description.
The battle to defend Wolmido-Inchon coast was a series of fierce bloody battles.
The coastal defence units of the Korean People's Army fought heroically, staining Songdo, Asan Bay, Inchon Port, with blood against the enemy.
The enemy mobilized more than three hundred ships and more than five hundred aircrafts to come near Inchon.
Over three consecutive days Wolmi Islet was engulfed in flames and graphite, with a bomb shower.
The earthen pillbox was buried in the soil.
The beast-like U.S. mercenaries poured out petrol and firebombed.
All were covered with earth and reduced to ashes.
Hundreds of enemy planes flew over the sky for 24 hours, and at night the flare bombs lit the sky brightly like daytime.
In the morning on 13th ! They could see enemy ships clearly through the lenses of telescopes in outposts.
At last the guns on the coast opened fire.
All the gunfire called out a flame of rage which had been pent up.
The gunfire continued.
Fourteenth!
The enemy made a further landing attempt and approached the coast under the cover of hundreds of aircraft.
The gap between the islets were filled with enemy ships as if they covered the sea.
A fierce shelling began again.
Fifteenth!
A fierce battle of defending the coast was launched.
All the telegraphists and the corpsmen took part in the close combat.
Our heroic combatants blocked the enemy with blood so as not to trample down even an inch of the land of the country. They fell down with precious blood on the land of the country.
At seven o'clock on the seventeenth, the last message arrived. The switchboard operator, Kim Myong Suk, sent the last message to the commanding post in Inchon post office which was burning in flame and was surrounded by enemy.
Without the newspaper ‘Minju Joson on October 6th 1950 and If he had not been able to perform the combat feats of the coastal artillerymen on Wolmi Islet in a diary style and show the combat situation in the form of a field news in the form of a diary, the heroic feats of the coastal artillerymen of Wolmi Islet would not have been carried forward to posterity in such a truthful and prompt way, and the Korean film ‘Wolmi islet 'would not have been produced.
The article caused a great sensation at home and abroad.
The great leader read this article in the newspaper ‘Minju Joson'and said that the article contained a lot of contents and ensured the vividness of description and such articles could play a great role in educating and encouraging people.
Hero Han Kye Ryol and Ri Su Bok who are considered to be the model of life and struggle by our young people nowadays are also introduced to many people through these articles.
‘The height of the country is my height', an article on May 19th, 1951, described the hero's sacrificing struggle and the basis of life. The article had the subtitle of ‘The people's son, Han Kye Ryol, being loyal to the Party and the Leader and the fatherland to the end'and subheadings of ‘He grew up as an indomitable fighter', ‘He always dealt deaths to the enemy, defending ‘my Height' to the last, and ‘the feats by Han Kye Ryol will be forever in the history of our republic'.
Heroic combat records about fighter Ri Su Bok, continuously published in the DPRK's leading newspapers, show the indomitable fighting spirit and high spiritual world of the heroic soldiers in a realistic way-for example ‘The squad leader, Ri Su Bok who suppressed the enemy's heavy machine gun pillbox as if he was a bomb. How brave he is!'[‘Minju Joson'November 23rd 1951] and ‘Ri Su Bok, vice-chairman of the company DYL, who blocked the enemy heavy machine gun pillbox'.
The article about the heroic feats by Ri Su Bok that many writers and artists often mention with literary works and melodies was written as a draft like this and the famous articles presenting July 27th written by war correspondents in the flames of the war are all displaying their vitality.
Those famous articles left an indelible trace in the history of our Party's mass media and greatly contributed to the victory of the Fatherland Liberation War, which is greatly inspiring our people and service personnel vigorously advancing towards the victory of Juche revolution under the leadership of the respected Comrade
