BATTLE OF TELISSU

The Battle of Telissu (Battle of Wa-Fang-Kou) was fought between the Russians and Japanese in June 1904. The battle was the result of the first attempt by the Russians to relieve Port Arthur from the north. On May the 30th Japanese cavalry made contact with Russian horsemen, and for the newt few days there were regular skirmishes between the two sides' horsemen.

Stackelberg, realising the Japanese had superior forces decided not to fight a decisive action, and took up a defensive position south of Wa-Fang-Kou, on a line running through Telissu, and across the valley of the Fuchon river, which divided the position into two parts. On June the 15th the Japanese under Oku attacked and defeated the weakened Russian right flank, forcing a retreat by the Russians who lost some 3500 troops, to the Japanese losses of about 1200.
