Kim Jong Un Guides Landing and Anti-landing Drills of KPA Units
Pyongyang, March 25 (KCNA) -- Supreme Commander of the Korean People's Army Marshal Kim Jong Un, first secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and first chairman of the National Defence Commission of the DPRK, on Monday guided the landing and anti-landing drills of KPA Large Combined Units 324 and 287 and KPA Navy Combined Unit 597.

He issued an order for drills without any notice and finally examined the landing and anti-landing capabilities of the large combined units of the KPA Ground Force and the KPA Navy combined unit situated in the eastern sector of the front and the east coastal area.

After receiving a report on the plan of the drills, he gave an order to start the drills.

First the drill of striking and wiping out landing enemies in the waters took place.

Multiple launch rocket systems opened fire all at once.

He was greatly satisfied with the drill. He said "It was well done", adding that the units made intensive firing at the group of enemy warships after setting a correct time for firing on the basis of the full grasp of the enemy's landing plan and when the rate of destroying enemy ships was considered as the highest.

He stressed the need to destroy the enemies in waters to the last man through strong firepower so that they might not land in the coast of the territory.

He ordered the soldiers of the heroic KPA to display their mettle in the great war against the enemies and send all of them to the bottom of the sea as they run wild like wolves threatened with fire.

Then the landing operation of KPA Navy Unit 597 started.

High-speed boats charged into the coast in succession.

Watching through field glasses combatants occupying enemy positions at a breath, he said they look highly-spirited and if it were an actual battle, the enemies would have no time to come to their senses.

He called the women soldiers of the 3rd artillery piece of the 1st Platoon of a battery under KPA Large Combined Unit 324 who had been involved in the artillery firing at the landing enemies to come close to him. He personally designated a firepower position beside him and set a target without any notice before giving an order to destroy it.

Upon receiving the order, members of the women's multiple rocket system rapidly took the firepower position and accurately hit the target.

He shook their hands one by one, praising them as great soldiers and crack shots. They performed their duties well though he had set without any notice a target which was not envisaged in the drill program and assigned to them duty to destroy it, he said. He took them to his arms before having a photo taken with them.

"How praiseworthy Korean women are and a-match-for-a-hundred members of the women's multiple rocket system can never be compared with nukes", he noted, earnestly telling them to conduct training better and launch a dynamic campaign to become one-beats- a hundred crack shots at ordinary times and hero artillery women by sending enemy warships to the bottom of the sea in the decisive battles.

He was accompanied by Hyon Yong Chol, Pak Jong Chon and Rim Kwang Il.
