The attack on the nemy on Nanshan
Hill commenced at 2:35 a m. OF the 18th.
The enemys defensive works were Of
almost permanent nature, and their ar
ulery consisted OF fifty guns OF various
calibers and two quick-hring field ar
ullery companies. Their infantry rang

trenches with looDholes. and placed ma
chine guns on important poIAts and
o1ered a stubborn resistance.
We ranged all our field guns upon the
forts and the enemy's principal artillery
ana slenced all Of them. While quick
nrers previously retired to Nankwan-

watchers TO keep track of the action so
fast was II developed. However. shortly
after 10 o'clock it could be seen that
the Russian rapid fire guns were being
drawn back along the hill while the
fire from the heavier pieces had per-
ceptibly slackened.
A second charge was ordered As one
man the entire japanese frontal force
started across the second zone OF fire
The Russians poured IN a deadly fire
from their artillery and musketry. and
many OF the shots found q soft resting
place In the human form Of a foeman.
Foot by foot, the japanese fought their
way. and the effort was sublime In the
extreme. Gaining the first heights IL
was noticed that the Russians had had
leaving behing them all of their sun
plies. 1t was but a breathing spell that
the brave yellow soldiers secured. and
then the hardly audible order FIX bayo-

manders.
The order was quickly obeyed. and a
rev minutes later the signal charge was
sounded from the bugle OF the orderly
