Shanghai clashes as Japanese fire on French concession police
Japanese troops renewed attacks on police in the foreign settlement at Shanghai’s French concession. An armed standoff ended with troop withdrawal after protests by American Cornell S. Franklin and a Japanese envoy. British police were beaten in earlier incidents, drawing London criticism and possible diplomatic strain. Reports say Japanese advances north of Shanghai targeted rail lines, with several towns in Shandong and Tientsin-Pukow rail corridors escalating the conflict. Eighteen Chinese aircraft were claimed shot down by Japanese forces, with minor losses on the Japanese side.
