Chinese Armies Crush Jap Attacks On Burma Fronts
Chinese and Allied forces report steady progress against Japanese offensives in Burma and across southern China. Chinese spokesmen say 13 Japanese attacks were repulsed and 17 were defeated by Chinese forces during the past week, aided by ongoing Allied air operations from the Southwest Pacific. Official summaries highlight stabilized fronts along the Yangtze and Yunnan borders, with heavy fighting near Taizhou and the Irrawaddy corridor. Allied planes conducted a three hour air assault on Salamaua in New Guinea, hitting targets at Timike, Bobo, and disrupting the Thamper River bridge, impacting enemy supply lines along the coast.
