General Gripenberg was trying to capture tbe villages to the south of Heikoutai and to surround tbe Japanese with a view to threatening Yantai and Liaoyang. Marshall Oyama, on the 28th, finding the Japanese still unable to recapture Heikoutai, encouraged the Columns to make a night attack, though expecting annihilation owing to the numerous machine guns used by the enemy. The columns attacked with all their might, the Rus sians evacuating Heikoutai at dawn. The Russians admit thirteen thousand casualties.
