Battle context
The Battle of Yingkou, fought outside the treaty port town of Yingkou in Manchuria, was a land engagement between Meiji Japanese forces under Nozu Michitsura and Qing Chinese forces under Song Qing during the final phase of the First Sino-Japanese War. The Qing forces, numbering around 40,000, suffered approximately 5,700 casualties against a Japanese force of nearly 55,800. The engagement at this treaty port town—sometimes referred to as the Battle of Niuzhuang or Newchwang—reflected the continued Japanese pressure on Manchurian positions as the war moved toward its conclusion in the spring of 1895, further eroding Qing military capacity in the region.
