"It's, like... against the law? Or something?"

"This great attack on Bodai [Wantai], which was to settle the fate of Port Arthur by bringing about the fall of the eastern section of the forts, is extremely difficult to describe with anything like perfect accuracy. In the first place, it was made at night; secondly, it ended in a great disaster, and the Japanese authorities are therefore reticent on the matter; thirdly, the confusion was so great, and the troops became so inseparably mixed in the darkness, that not even the survivors could tell the same story."

— Ashmead-Bartlett Ellis, "Port Arthur, the Siege and Capitulation"

The Attack on Wantai was a part of the First Grand Assault of Port Arthur, when the Japanese Army attempted an assault on the Russian battery stationed at... Wantai. The Japanese tried a desperate gamble, attacking in the middle of the night, and hoped to seize the heights so as to break through the eastern fortline and endanger the city itself. It was repelled in the end, but the attackers briefly breached the first line of defense(the "Chinese Wall"). The engagement itself featured extensive use of searchlights by the Russians, which directed to wherever the Japanese army went and helped immensely.

So, yeah, you can try to break the siege and reverse the course of the war, if you're a chad. You can also click on the name of the quoted work to access its copy on Internet Archive, if you want to.
