Battle at Motien Pass Drives Russians From Trenches
Russian forces led a five hour attack on Motien Pass in Manchuria, supported by heavy artillery and dense fog. Japanese troops under Gen Okazaki counterattacked, retook the ridge and temple area, inflicting heavy losses on three Russian regiments while suffering about 200 casualties themselves. Gen Tan Hamilton and other observers record a stark, businesslike view of the battlefield as Japanese initiative and dash overwhelmed the Russian assault.
