In order to create the Liberation Army, General Ji Cheong-cheon first wrote the "Korean Liberation Army Plan Daegang." This document was sent to the Chinese Military Committee through President Kim Gu, and the military strategy plan of Ji Cheongcheon in the early days of the establishment of the Liberation Army can be seen. Its contents are generally as follows. The mission of Liberation Army is to attract Korean armed forces in the enemy forces to the independence movement camp, carry out joint Korean-Chinese operations, and expand the military to become the driving force behind the mobilization of all Koreans. In addition, the military shall be governed by the General Command of the Liberation Army based on the Ilsa, and shall be led by the Chinese military commander as the General Commander of the ROK-China Allied Forces. The additional organization establishes the principle of initiating from the upper organization, and uses the method of recruiting Koreans from the Korean Independence Army in various regions by entering the northeast. As for the activity zones, Ki, Seom, Ye, Noh, Jin, and Northeast four provinces are the main activity zones. Regarding the armed battle of Koreans in the northeastern region, the Red Army along with the Joseon Revolution Army was incorporated to take a consistent action. For the attributes of the Liberation Army, military officers serving in each institution in the jurisdiction are convened.' Regardless of the ideology, the armed forces fighting against Japan in the northeastern region were incorporated into the Liberation Army to promote the unification of Korean armed forces for the anti-Japanese war to strengthen Manchuria-centered armed forces and unite the independence movement camp. When Ji Cheong-cheon was the commander-in-chief of the Korean Independence Army, he was disarmed by the behind-the-scenes maneuvering of the Chinese Communist Party leader Joo Bo-jung, but he planned to include Korean communists in the Liberation Army for the cause of independence. Of course, this idea was not realized by various factors, but it can be said that it has meaning as a national united front due to the acceleration of the anti-Japanese war. This document was sent to the Chinese authorities for review, and in September 1940, before the official approval of the Chinese Military Commission, the Liberation Army held a founding ceremony and began practical activities. As shown in the convenience plan, Gwangbok-gun established the organizational principle of forming a lower-level organization from the formation of an upper-level organization, so after the founding of the army, the task was to organize combat units and conduct military training. Accordingly, the military's security and equipment are covered by foreign aid, trained military officials in large quantities through short-term training, and dispatched all Korean soldiers to Manchuria and China to form at least three divisions. At a press conference to mark the second anniversary of the founding of Liberation Army, Ji Cheong-cheon said, "The center of Liberation Army's struggle is to launch a large-scale executive training and expand propaganda operations, and wait for Liberation Army to enter the northeast. In other words, the initial stage of military activities of the Liberation Army is to actively develop executive training and propaganda operations, and the latter stage is to unite with the Japanese in the northeast as a member of the Allied Forces and eventually make Korea independent. Recognizing this strategy, the General Command of the Liberation Army moved to the West Bank. Meanwhile, in December 1941, the Japanese imperialist forces mobilized air force to attack the naval base of the majesty of Jinju Bay, and the Pacific War broke out and eventually developed into a globalized war. Accordingly, the provisional government issued a statement against the Japanese War, officially declaring its position to participate in the anti-invasive joint front and counter the Japanese imperialism. However, there remained a solution to overcome the reality that the provisional government was a political organization that was not internationally approved. Ji Cheong-cheon explained that the meaning of the anti-Japanese war between the Liberation Army and the Chinese army is a war for independence of the motherland, a war for the establishment of peace in verbs, and a war for solving the problems of the world's weak people. Therefore, at a time when the war for national independence is bound to unfold as part of the world war, Ji Cheong-cheon pointed out, "One of our most desperate tasks at this stage is to gain international status." In other words, only when the temporary government gains international status and strengthens its revolutionary power can the Korean people's problem be solved by claiming the legitimate rights of the Korean people at international conferences if the war ends. This perception was based on the idea of securing official recognition of the Allies and participating in the war against Japan as a member of the Allies in order to solidify the international position of our people after the war. However, despite the efforts of temporary government factors, the temporary government was not officially approved externally, resulting in the need to return home as an individual after liberation. Meanwhile, in response to the rapidly changing internal and external situation, the need for the Liberation Army to rapidly reinforce was being reconsidered. Accordingly, Ji Cheong-cheon, along with Kim Won-bok and Lee Bok-won, submitted a "proposal on military policy" to the 35th meeting as members of the National Assembly. The standard for the amount of disease in the Liberation Army is set at 300,000, and in order to organize it, it is necessary to initiate the operation of each port as soon as possible. 1) It will be dispatched to Park Hyo-sam, the first district in the north of the Yellow River, reorganized, and give instructions on a unified craft route and policy. 2) A representative will be dispatched to the Korean Armed Forces in Hyunyu, Japan, to establish a desperate connection with it, provide as much assistance as possible, and to direct unified operational routes and operational policies. 3) It will push suitable agents in Korea, Manchuria, and Japan to focus on the people, especially students and the working class organization, to prepare for a crowd riot that will mix up future military actions with Cho Song, a candidate for military officials. 4) Military representatives will be dispatched to allies such as China, the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union to conduct negotiations on the subject of arms and even militaryization. 5) The Korean-American delegation will be expanded and organized, but unified diplomacy will be developed, including influential actors from each faction, and negotiations such as military funds, militaryization, and various special military technologies will be made. 6) A government representative will be dispatched to Moscow to organize a delegation covering Koreans who are influential in the region to negotiate with the Korean army, especially various military special technology talents, and even military funds and military flowers. 7) In addition to the use of various military schools in allies for military officer training, a military officer training center in our own territory will be established. 8) A considerable amount of military and loans will be negotiated against the blind countries such as the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union, and the United States. The proposal significantly increased the goal of the formation of the Liberation Army from three existing divisions to 300,000 and aims to strengthen armed forces in preparation for a full anti-Japanese war and unify the Korean armed forces by connecting them with armed groups in Matmanju, Joseon's mercenary. It is also noteworthy that it is proposing to expand military negotiations unique to China and engage in military aid negotiations with allied countries such as the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Soviet Union, especially the United States and the Soviet Union. It included plans such as Korean organizations residing in the United States and the Soviet Union, military vice-minister of the United States and the Soviet Union, and training of military officers of the Liberation Army with the help of the United States Soviet Union. Therefore, this military policy was a strategy to predict the defeat of the Japanese military before the Cairo meeting, a meeting between the leaders of the world order building after the war, and to strengthen the liberation front of the motherland. Therefore, this proposal was unanimously passed as it was recognized as an appropriate judgment law for military facilities. Since then, joint operation activities with allied countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom have been specifically raised and implemented. Meanwhile, when it comes to military training of the Liberation Army, in addition to the joint training policy with the Allied Forces, in-house training was planned, which was embodied as the "Plan to Implement the Korean Liberation Army Executive Training Team". However, the Chinese Military Commission has notified that the plan should be revised to focus on education on three people, and the Provisional Government State Council and General Command rejected it and renegotiated it with Chinese authorities to send Korean officers to Chinese military schools for education. As a result, the Korean Liberation Army was able to defy the training of executives through its own training as a national liberation force. However, the plan was approved by the Chinese authorities in February 1945, but the establishment of a training team was suspended because military training between South Korea and the U.S. was actually in negotiations at the time. However, before the plan was officially approved, the 6th branch of Jingmo, which had actually achieved great results in the activities of the enemy's first mother, was able to train 70 army lieutenants by setting up a Korean Liberation Army executive training team at the Imcheon Branch of the Central Military Academy. Meanwhile, military cooperation with allied countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom was implemented based on military strategies such as Proposal on Military Policy and Plan for Military Affairs. Thus, the dispatch of the Liberation Army to the U.S. Embassy in China and the dispatch of personnel dispatches to British troops in India were put into practice. In addition, the 2nd and 3rd zones were jointly trained with the US Army's OSS Special Forces to operate on infiltration into the enemy's post-regions.
These joint operations and training are closely related to the war situation of the world war, especially the US military OSS, which was active in China, was seeking to cooperate with the Liberation Army, emphasizing the strategic value of the Korean Peninsula. Thus, military cooperation between South Korea and the United States was carried out, coupled with the interests of the U.S. military OSS special forces to use Koreans for enemy rear activities in the anti-Japanese war. Meanwhile, the international war phase was changing rapidly, the German totalitarian forces were on the verge of defeat, and Japan was also losing everywhere. In this rapidly changing international situation, the provisional government and the Liberation Army immediately reduced the need to operate with the allies and established strategies to respond to this situation from the beginning of 1945. This was related to the perception that the war should be rapidly vacuumed into the Northeast and Korea as a member of the Allied Forces at a time when it was nearing an end. Thus, Jicheongcheon came up with specific military strategies such as "military policy proposals," "Korean Provisional Government Military Progress Plan," and "Korean Liberation Army Construction and Operation Plan" along with joint negotiations with the U.S. military through the 2nd and 3rd zones. As the military strategy of the Liberation Army for joint operations with the Allied Forces was established, contact was also made between local working-level officials, and joint ventures between the 2nd, 3rd and US military OSSs proceeded smoothly. Lee Bum-seok and Kim Hak-gyu came to the Central Police Agency in early April 1945, and the Liberation Army's OSS training was conducted after official meetings between Kim Gu, Ji Cheong-cheon, Lee Bum-seok, and Kim Hak-kyu, the representative of the U.S. military OSS. On May 11, 1945, the second zone began OSS training around July 1945 with the support of the U.S. military. Thus, among the three strategies of anti-Japanese warfare, the foundation for the construction of underground forces in Korea was prepared. However, this training was not the whole of the military strategy of Gwangbuk-gun. In other words, the strategy of advancing to the northeast was continuously maintained within the Liberation Army at the time by concentrating military power, joining forces with the Chinese army, and conducting a full-scale anti-Japanese war. However, since it is difficult to advance to the northeast with hundreds of Liberation Army's active armed forces right now, it can be said that the strategy of infiltrating the Liberation Army personnel who have completed OSS training that can be used for guerrilla operations took precedence. Considering the military strategy of the Liberation Army, Jicheongcheon established the principle of top-down organization during the initial founding process to expand the period of units, and to promote the unification of military force in the northeast. And it can be said that the strategies of these two principles have been carried out until the time of liberation. Thus, from the founding to the early stages, the integrated movement of armed forces in the jurisdiction to secure key units, first-time activities, and diplomatic and propaganda activities for external approval of the Liberation Army were carried out. Based on these activities, a practical anti-Japanese war strategy was devised based on the expansion of Liberation Army agents, and it was a strategy to participate in the war against Japan through joint operations with allied forces based on the alliance's approval to secure international status after the war. The strategy consisted of three contents: the expansion of the main unit of the Liberation Army to the northeast and vacuumed into Korea across the Yalu River and Tuman River, the second to infiltrate training personnel into the enemy territory, and the third to land on the Korean Peninsula using the Korean Peninsula. These three strategies were scheduled to be implemented to drive out Japanese imperialist forces and make their homeland independent through full-scale battles in Korea, but strategies such as advancing to the northeast or landing in Korea through the Pacific could not be realized by the Japanese colonial rule. In addition, despite the end of some training, the domestic infiltration operation through joint ventures with special forces of the Majuk Army was not realized due to the Japanese surrender. Although the military strategy of the Liberation Army could not be implemented due to the early surrender of the Japanese colonial rule, its historical significance is greatly appreciated in that it made military efforts to achieve Korea's independence and enhance Korea's position within the postwar international order.
