Chasing Chiang Kai-shek in Xuzhou, Japan's war in China continued in 1938.

Captured state-of-the-art armored vehicle that Chiang is proud of.

Fighting warriors

Modest entertainment under the war -
With the challenger Tamanoumi's fine dodging, Champion Musashiyama falls on the ring.
Tamanoumi's perfect resurrection from the injury!

War in China continues in January, 1939.
Chinese did not fight but retreated without hesitation when they could not win.
This was a big difference between Japanese 'samurais' and Chinese 'peasants'.

I did not know that old Japanese people regarded Australia as UK.
This may be why China is aggressive in the region if their recognition is not updated.

"Command by radio waves
Successful new training for police dogs

In the radio wave era, a police dog is finally commanded by radio waves.
At the Sydney Police Station in New South Wales, England, they recently hung a receiver on a police dog and controlled it by radio command. Test was resulted with 100 percent success.
Another chance to utilize police dogs has been increased.
Photo shows one of the experiments."

I can honestly say I never saw that picture before either.

 

[Shinpachi]

I have found it in a postwar book published in the 1950s which was my blindspot.

 

[Capt. Vick]

It was also in the Monogram Close-Up 19 book.
