Japanese Forces Break Through Russian Defenses at Yalu
Regiments of Japanese soldiers crossed the bridge and Gen Kuroki telegraphed plans to attack on May 1 at dawn. By daylight his artillery supported a four mile advance as Japanese infantry charged the Russian positions near Chin-Lien Olleng and Yoshako, forcing Russians to abandon Antong and retreat to Peng-Huan Cheng. The Japanese now control the estuary of the Yalu. In Paris, some American financiers consider a Rasalan loan soon at favorable rates, with totals around 150 to 175 million dollars. Russian fleet activity shifts the balance as questions rise about whether they will join Port Arthur, signaling a possible naval battle in the Yellow Sea.
