けれども，英語は不得手で中国人などによるウィキペディアの捏造記事の氾濫に腹が立っても修正が出来ません．

当時，外務省情報部が作成した対外向けの英語の公式発表がありますが，それなんかどうでしょうか．

２３．上海ニ於ケル大山中尉殺害事件ニ対スル外務当局発表（八月十日）

1. The strained situation now prevailing in Shanghai between the Japanese and Chinese forces is plainly attributable to the murder by the Chinese Peace Preservation Corps of Sub-Lieutenant Oyama and First-class Seaman Saito of the Japanese Naval Landing Party.

2. Sub-Lieutenant Oyama, accompanied by Seaman Saito who drove the automobile, set out to inspect the district (western section of the City where there are valuable Japanese investments) which it was his duty to safeguard as commander of the western outpost. Both of them met brutal death at the hands of the Chinese Peace Preservation Corps on the Extension Road which is under the jurisdiction of the Concession area, Oyama's face having been half crashed with brains protruding and intestines exposed. In his body were discovered eighteen bullet wounds and sword cuts which testify to the dreadful manner in which his body was subjected to unspeakable insult, Saito also met a similar fate.

3. It is easily to be imagined how indignant the members of the Japanese Landing Party felt at this outrage committed on their comrades, and this, more over, in a place where all nationals were free to pass The situation was further aggravated by the persistent provocation of the Chinese forces which greatly menaced the safety of the Concession. To meet the emergency, the Commander of the Landing Party deemed it urgent to strengthen the guard measure and caused a reinforcement of the Landing Party.

4. On the very day of the incident, Consul-General Okamoto saw Mayor Yui of Greater Shanghai and strongly requested the withdrawal of the Peace Preservation Corps and the removal of military works which were quite excessive in their scope and gravely endangered the peace and tranquillity of the City. Finding the request reasonable, Mayor Yui agreed and started to carry it out. However, the distance to which the Chinese forces withdrew was not deemed sufficient to insure safety, and Consul-General Okamoto made further request to Mayor Yui on the 11th that the Chinese forces be withdrawn to the distance judged necessary by military experts. To this Mayor Yui also replied that he would meet the request.
