Landing and transportation of Japanese troops

Landing and transportation of Japanese troops

The Naval Intelligence Office describes the Japanese Army’s landing at Chemulpo, including how many troops landed, what types of ships transported the troops, and how the troops silently fulfilled their duties. The Japanese forces headed toward Seoul, where they set up the base for military operations and then occupied Ping Yang. Transportation was challenging on Korean roads, being limited to coolies and carts with two wheels.
