Central Front Commands Three Fold Japanese Offensive
Three Japanese thrusts in Manipur during the campaign challenge Allied lines. Columns cross the Chindwin River south of Tamanthi, pushing toward Imphal through jungle routes. A second force advances up the Kaban Valley toward Imphal from Chindwin via Tamu. A third group threads rugged terrain aiming to outflank Tiddim toward Manipur Valley along the Tiddim track. History notes mark the air of the theater as a severe test of integrity in Pittsburg, Kansas.
