Battle of Jiansanfeng
On June 30, 1937 the KPRA defeated a large unit of the Japanese aggressors on Jiansanfeng.

After sustaining a hard blow in the Battle of Pochonbo, the enemy mobilized a huge force to chase the KPRA.

On Jiansanfeng the units of the KPRA under the command of Kim Il Sung made full preparations to destroy the pursuing enemy.

Around 8 a.m. the enemy launched an attack under cover of thick mist.

The KPRA soldiers waited with patience until the enemy were a stone’s throw from their positions, and then hit hard at them. The unit in front volleyed at the enemy, driving them into a valley, and those in both flanks made a counterattack, putting them on the defensive. The enemy soldiers who narrowly escaped death ran away as dusk fell.

Through this battle the KPRA struck another severe military and political blow at the Japanese aggressors and demonstrated its strength once again. The victory in the battle was significant in consolidating the successes gained in the operation for advance into the homeland and convincing the people of the triumph of the revolution.
