Some 10 weeks have passed since the
last echoes of the titanic Mukden COM
bat have died away, but the discussions
and tales of those hard days Of fighting
and retreat have not lessened, but on the
contrary, grow louder and louder. Here
in the army the newspaper articles and
kilograms portrayng disastrous rout OF
the Russians were read with aniazement
and indignation. The reality was as
follows:
The attack on the Russian positions
by the Japanese began February 10.
The first Manchurian army and parts
of the Third Army repulsed all attacks,
and as to the character of this repulse
the best proof is the fact that on March
2, after the repulse of the last attack on
the Gaotu Pass, the Japanese in COM
plete disorder, abandoning on their BIZ
vouacs many objects, ammunition, car
tridges, conserves and rice, retired almost
four miles. The same thing took place
on the remainder of the front of the
INST army. ny oNNoio
army, repulsing all the desperate attacks
on the western front, was unable now
ever, to throw back the japanese forces,
which were encircling Mukden from inc
north.
This success OF the japanese compelled
the Russians to Withdraw the hrst ana
third armies to the fortified positions on
the line OF the Hun River. On March
g the japanese succeeded IN breaking
through the Russian position on the
Hun River, which, together with tile
armies OF Nogi advancing TO the rail-
road from the west and with Okus as
sistance, forced the commander 10 give
the order to all three armies TO retreat
to Tie Pass. In spite OF the extremely
difficult circumstances the retirement OF
the troops from the advanced position
took place in good order. The retreat
was rendered more difficult by the
panic in the wagon trans.
One OF the rear guards, under com,
nand OF Major General Ganeheid, ana
a few battalions, losing the dlrectlon
which had been given them Tor the re-
treat, were surrounded. and after a
furious fight, succeeded IN partly break
ing through, with heavy losses. In TINS
way began the sudden confusion, which
became panic, among the wagon trans,
communicating partlyto those batteries
and parks which, owing to the duststorm,
lost their way and got between the
wagons. The troops OF the line were
almost untouched by the pane, and re-
tired fighting steadily, defending sue
cessive positions, while the rear guard
had to repulse the japanese with the
bayonet. Under the protection OF these

out soldiers, work on the railway was
continued until night of March II, and
all the rolling stock and all the wounded
were gotten away, with. the exception OF
400 especially seriously wounded, who
were left in several hospitals in Mukden,
together with $50 wounded Japanese.
