今日は1904年 に日露戦争の旅順攻囲戦で日本軍が203高地を占領した日になります。116years ago from today, on December 5th 1904, Japanese troops fought a heroic battle taking over 203 Meter Hill during the "Siege of Port Arthur"(August 1st 1904 to January 2nd 1905), a chapter in the Russo-Japanese War.これによって203高地からの砲撃で旅順港停泊中のロシア東洋艦隊を壊滅させることができました。As a result of this battle, Japanese troops were able to wipe out the Russian fleet which had been anchoring in Port Arthur harbor, by bombarding them from atop the 203 Meter Hill.1980年に東映系で公開された「二百三高地」(にひゃくさんこうち)は名画だと思います。観た事のない方は是非一度はごらんになられることをお勧めします。I personally think the movie "The Battle of Port Arthur" (1980) is a masterpiece, and would highly recommend watching it for those who haven't seen it yet.
