WAVELL’S ARMY MARCHING INTO BURMA TO START 1
JJfew British Army

Jload For Chinese
Japs Retreat Without
Fight Before New
Invasion Force
^ NEW DELHI, Dec. ID—(UP)
—Gen. Sir Archibald Wavejl’s
British imperial army was on
the offensive along the roads
■mb rivers of Burma today one
year and four days after the j
• Japanese invasion that resulted |
in a complete British retirement
into India.
In the first phase of the of-
fensive, a communique of the
Indian command announced, the
British forces struck 30 miles
into Burma along the Bay of
Bengal, advancing on a 20-mile
front between the buy and the
Jla.vu river.
Japanese forces, which had
been fortifying the area,
withdrew without offering
a light.
It was not immediately appar-
ent whether the advance was
the first move in a hig scale
offensive all along the Burmese
border or one of limited scope
designed to test t he- thickness of
the Japanese defense belt,
f But it w;ts tile first step to-
ward the fulfillment of Waved's
promise to drive the Japanese
front Burma and open the Bur-
ma road for (lie supplies which
China needs urgently with
V.hich to drive to the China sea
coast and establish air bases
from which American land bas-
ed planes can bomb Japan.
Wa veil's communique reveal-
ed that the British forces had
Jlnpened their attack several
days ago.'
Striking suddenly from the
Chittagong hill region, the pow-
erful British and Indian forces
moved southward along the bay
4:if Bengal, and occupied Baung-
dau and Buthidaung, 30 miles
inside Burma and 00 miles above
Akyab.
It was indicated that the Brit-
ish advance continued toward
% ' kyab, 90 miles inside Burma.
Royal Air force planes, close-
ly supporting the ground forc-
es, swept ahead oft the army and
I heavily attacked Akyab and Ra-
thendaung village 20 miles
