Philippine Japs Are Using Flame Throwers
The Sixth Army's 37th Division pressed to within striking distance of the last major Japanese stronghold in the Philippines. The Buckeye Division under Maj. Gen. Robert S. Beightler consolidated positions a dozen miles from the Sagayan valley on northern Luzon after driving north from Santa Fe against scattered opposition. Japanese flame throwing tanks were encountered for the first time in the campaign. Enemy pockets along the pass to the valley slowed progress as mop up work continued on the flanks. With the breakthrough into the valley floor, mechanized armor could be used again to advantage.
