were made by the 15th and the i6th regiments of
the 2nd reserve, and that the Japanese succeeded
in carrying part of the hill, but were unable to
push their attack right home, and, after two
days’ desperate fighting, were driven out again
with considerable losses. The operations were
stopped at about six o’clock in the afternoon of
September 22nd, and no further attempts were
made to capture the position till a long time
after.
The Japanese casualties during these fights
had been : at the Lungyen redoubt about 1,200 ;
at
the Shuishi lunettes about 400 ;
at 180 Metre Hill
about 400 ;
and at 203 Metre Hill about 2,000
killed and wounded. Amongst the killed was
Major-General Yamamoto, commander of the
I St brigade.
