Kim Jong Un Guides Winter River-crossing Attack Tactical Drill

Pyongyang, January 31 (KCNA) -- Kim Jong Un, supreme commander of the Korean People's Army, guided the winter river-crossing attack tactical drill of the reinforced tank and armored infantry regiment. At the observation post he received a report of the commander of the First Tank and Armored Infantry Regiment of the Seoul Ryu Kyong Su Guards 105th Tank Division of the Korean People's Army and issued an order to start the drill. An engineering reconnaissance was conducted before combatants crossed the frozen river like the lightning. Then they stormed and occupied heights of the enemy on the opposite bank of the river all of a sudden before moving to the depth of its area and fire power strike means of the regiment pounded the "enemy" bases. The crossing ground was reminiscent of a cauldron as tanks and armored cars broke through the "enemy's" defense line like the wind and made a hot pursuit of the fleeing enemy troops. Pleased to see the successful training, respected Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un highly praised the Seoul Ryu Kyong Su Guards 105th Tank Division of the Korean People's Army, saying it is distinguished, indeed, as it is widely known to be the strongest in the People's Army. He underscored the need for the People's Army to frequently organize more similar high-intensity rehearsals under the simulated conditions of a real war in the future irrespective of seasons and day and night to suit the natural and geographical and climatic features of Korea so as to steadily study and round off the combat methods and accumulate a wealth of combat experience. He gave instructions which would serve as guidelines for rounding off the combat preparations of the KPA. He stressed that its service personnel should make their training more intensive the way the anti-Japanese guerrillas did in Mt. Paektu as required by the Party's policy of bringing about a radical turn in training, always bearing in mind that their training leads to the square of a military parade celebrating national reunification and bolstering up the army guarantees the victorious advance of the Korean revolution and a bright future of the socialist country. -0-
