Conquering Port Arthur - Port Arthur Conquest

Japanese: 旅順攻略 - りょじゅんこうりゃく

During the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese army blockaded the Russian naval base of Port Arthur and attacked its forts. They scuttled ships at the entrance to the harbor to block the Russian fleet, and hurried to occupy the fortifications defended by Stessel before the arrival of the Baltic Fleet. They attempted a short-term surprise attack with the 3rd Army under the command of Nogi Maresuke, but failed. After seven months of hard fighting, they occupied Hill 203, and took it by bombarding the fleet in the bay with fortress guns. 59,000 Japanese troops were killed or wounded. The battle during the Sino-Japanese War in which they landed at Huayukou on the east coast of the Liaodong Peninsula, occupied Jinzhou Fort, and then took the fortifications of Port Arthur is also called the Capture of Port Arthur.

Japanese:

日露戦争において，日本軍が行ったロシアの海軍基地旅順港の封鎖と要塞(ようさい)攻撃。港口に船を自沈させ露国艦隊を閉塞(へいそく)，バルチック艦隊到着前にステッセルの守備する要塞占領を急ぎ，乃木希典指揮の第３軍をもって短期奇襲を試みたが失敗。７ヵ月の苦戦のすえ二百三高地を占領し要塞砲による湾内艦隊への砲撃で陥落させた。日本軍死傷５万9000人。なお日清戦争において遼東半島東岸の花園口(かえんこう)に上陸し，金州城を占領後，旅順の堡塁を陥落(かんらく)させた戦も旅順攻略とよぶ。
