The battle in China after the fall of Nanjing was main news for the Japanese people in 1938. It occupied 80% of total news the year.
The deeper Chiang Kai-shek retreats, the deeper Japanese troops chases him into the continent.

War and peace in 1938.
The Japanese government begins to sell Tokyo Expo 1940 tickets on March 10, 1938.
At the 73rd Imperial Diet held in March, bills related to the wartime system such as the National Mobilization Law, the Electricity Management Bill and others were passed.
Nanjing in the springtime. Our Red Cross nurses also seem to be healed by the cherry blossoms.
Training ships Iwate and Yakumo of the Imperial Japanese Navy Training Fleet set sail in April with 200 young cadets who will be responsible for the future of Japan in emergency.
Mr. Jigoro Kanou (father of Japan's Kodokan Judo as sports) enjoys sightseeing in Egypt after the IOC General Assembly held in Cairo in March to discuss details of the Tokyo 1940 Olympic Games. He is also a good photographer. (He passed away in May soon due to pneumonia in the Pacific on the way back to Japan)
The naval blockade off the coast of mainland China by our navy for about half a year is effective in April.
Ahead of the 2600th imperial year ceremony scheduled in 1940, a ceremony to appoint Prince Chichibu as the executive committee president was held at the Meiji Shrine Gaien Stadium in the afternoon of April 10 .
3,000 members from 4 vigilante groups in Beijing held a parade under the command of Mayor of Beijing, Yu Chin-hoon, on April 7.

The world prepares for war in 1938.
In the Republic of Mexico which is steadily making rapid progress in various fields under the administration of President Lázaro Cárdenas, women also awaken to their national consciousness. A patriotic group organized by women's workers recently marched in their fascistic uniforms to receive inspection by the president.
In Europe which is currently under the international emergency, a female volunteer army has been organized in Portugal on May 30.
Britain and France have adopted a joint hard-line policy against Germany in the situation of Germany's advance into the Czech territory. They are very cautious about the coming Nazi Rally in Nuremberg (in September) as a turning point.

If the Czech issue may trigger World War II, how will Switzerland, the country of peace, respond?
Answer to this question is shown by their total mobilization drill of the air force in the Alps carried out in mid-September.

Great stuff, Shinpachi! Whole 'nother perspective on events that are just not covered in histories I have read. The day to day events involving other nations has been enlightening.

I wonder what that Swiss Air Force aircraft is. Looks ugly enough to be French. And what are those bits hanging aft of the axles on the wheels
Yep ... that's the French kite ... the Dewoitine D.27 III.

Even Japanese people do not know these news in 1938 today except elderly people over 90.
On April 16th, Tokyo Big6 University Baseball League Tournament begins
Our wounded heroes seem to be being healed enough to enjoy playing volleyball with the angels in white in Shanghai of the springtime
The Sumo champion Tamanishiki and his giant "army" of more than 100 wrestlers surprised Chinese people in Shanghai by lining up the majestic giants on April 21. They visited there to appreciate the great pains our soldiers had suffered in the fierce battle and to dedicate silent prayers to the tombstones of heroes. Photo: Our Sumo wrestlers and soldiers
The 4,533 souls of the national guardians that stood up for the oriental peace and became the precious foundation of the Empire of Japan. The grand festival of the Yasukuni Shrine to calm them shows unprecedented visitors from the early morning on the first day (in April).
Against the blind resistance by the enemy guerrillas, our imperial army's swift and bold mopping-up operation continues in Wuhu and Hangzhou, China (in April)
Our Col. Mano's unit that was sweeping the remaining enemies in the western area of the Tongpu railroad demolished about 6,000 tough enemy troops and immediately occupied the Fenxi Fortress (in April) at last
Our wild eagles that are thoroughly demolishing the state-of-the-art Chinese Air Force aircraft supplied by UK, US and Soviet Union are playing an active role in the skies of the continent (in May).
(Photo looks like a Mitsubishi Type 92 reconnaissance plane)
Fu Zuo-yi's plot had been ended as an illusion.
The former chairman of Sui-yuan Province, Fu Zuo-yi, tried to recover the lost ground by re-organizing his remaining troops in the steep mountains of Yijianfang and Erdaoshenger but had been prevented by our army's onslaught and began total retreat (in May)
