On this day, 120 years ago, on January 2, 1905 (November 27, 1904 in the lunar calendar), the Russian army in Lushun surrendered to the Japanese army during the Russian-Japanese War. January 2nd. After half a year of siege and attack by the Japanese army, General Anatoli-Stosel finally handed over the Port of Lushun. At 4:30 p.m. today, General Naimi Kideon accepted Stosel's surrender letter in Tokyo. The Emperor of Japan promised that all surrendered troops would be treated humanely. However, according to Japanese practice, Stossel would be sentenced to death unless Tsar Nikolai intervened on his behalf. Stocell and his troops have made incredible efforts. Of the 45,000 remaining Russian soldiers in the city, 7700 were killed and 15,000 were injured. Storsel surrendered 10,000 hungry soldiers before completely surrendering. A total of 11,000 Japanese soldiers died between November 27 and December 5. Some people were not killed by artillery fire, but fell on layers of barbed wire that the Russians had set up around the city. The survivors stepped on the bodies of their companions buried in the ice and snow and pushed forward with difficulty but determination. In Tokyo, people set off firecrackers and drank heartily to celebrate victory. The Russian public has not yet received news of the fall of Lushun Pass. The tsar expected a victory for the Russian army to help him suppress civil unrest. Now it seems that he is no longer able to continue to oppose his people. With the fall of Lushun Port, hopes of saving central Manchuria were dashed. British naval circles talk about Russia's possible return of the Pacific Fleet. At the same time, they also rumored that President Roosevelt would accept the request to intervene.
