Just outside the city at Hungjao airdrome (see map) occurred the incident which started the war. There two Japanese sailors were reported murdered early this month, whereupon Japanese Admiral Hasegawa promptly demanded indemnity and the withdrawal of Chinese troops to a distance of 20 miles from the International Settlement. When the Chinese expressed distaste at being ordered out of their own country, the Japanese piled sailors ashore to reinforce their permanent garrison...
