Anti-Japanese Partisan - Kounichi Partisan

Japanese: 抗日パルチザン - こうにちパルチザン

The anti-Japanese partisan struggle waged by communists in northeastern China (Manchuria) in the 1930s is considered the spiritual origin of the founding of today's Democratic People's Republic of Korea. After the colonization of Korea in 1910, the northeastern region, centered on Jiandao, had seen a consistent anti-Japanese armed struggle by Korean people using volunteer militias and independence forces. Continuing this tradition, the communist-led armed struggle began in the spring of 1932 after the Manchurian Incident. In accordance with the Comintern's one country, one party policy at the time, these partisan units formally belonged to the Northeast People's Revolutionary Army (since 1934, the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army) under the leadership of the Manchuria Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China, and played a part in the anti-imperialist struggle by the North Korean and Chinese peoples, but in reality many of the units in eastern and northern Manchuria were mainly Korean (they are called the Korean People's Revolutionary Army in Korean documents).

今日の朝鮮民主主義人民共和国で建国の精神的淵源とされている，1930年代に中国の東北(満州)で共産主義者が展開した抗日パルチザン闘争。1910年の朝鮮植民地化後，間島を中心とする東北一帯では，義兵や独立軍による朝鮮民衆の反日武力抗争が一貫して続けられてきたが，この伝統を継承しつつ満州事変後の1932年春から共産主義者主導の武装闘争は開始された。当時のコミンテルンの一国一党方針により，このパルチザン部隊は形式上は中国共産党満州省委員会指導下の東北人民革命軍(1934年以後は東北抗日聯軍)に属し，朝･中人民連帯による反日帝闘争の一翼を担ったが，東満･北満では実際上朝鮮人が主力の部隊が多かった(朝鮮側文献では朝鮮人民革命軍と呼ぶ)。
