U. S. Heavy Bomber*
Smash Hitler’s Oil
Supply in Romania
I Allied Supreme Headquar-
ters, London, July 28. (UP)—
Up to 1,500 U. S. heavy bomb-
ers laid bombs acmes the great
Leona synthetic oil plant at
Merseburg in central Germany
and the Romanian wells and
refineries at Ploesti today in
twin blowB from the west and
sooth against two main
sources of Germany’s dwind-
ling oil sopplies.
It was the second Allied at-
tack on Ploesti ia 12 hours.
The U. S. Eighth air force at-
tack on Merseburg was a con-
tinuation of the revived Allied
campaign against Germany’s
war industry which included
an attack last liight by BAF
Mosquitos against Stuttgart,
now bombed three times in
four nights.
Although heavy weather
short-circuited Allied aerial
activity over the Normahdy
front today, a headquarters
spokesman said that about 1,-
000 sorties were flown by me-
dium and light bombers, fight-
er bombers and fighters of the
Ninth U. S. air force and oth-
er Allied units in tactical sup-
port of the ground forces.
More- than 180 American
Marauders and Havocs at-
tacked rail bridges wpst of.
Paris in a move to cut off rein-
forcements to the hard-pressed
Nazis in Normandy, returning
without loss, while Spitfires
and Mosquitos delivered sting-
ing blows against German
transport in Brittany, losing
one fighter.
One thousand U. S. Eighth
air force heavy bombers had
an equal number of fighters
bored through flak so thick
that at times its smoke dim-
pilots during the attack on the
of fighter
Leona plant. The vast.
sprawling works account for a
large percentage of Germany’s
remaining synthetic fuel sup-
plies and had been ta 76 per
cent production.
2000 Jnpa Killed
Effort to Hold Guam
Pearl Harbor, July 28. (UP)
-The emperor’s garrison on
Guam, fighting desperately to
deny the use of the island to
United States Forces, lost an
estimated 2,000 killed in a
bloody early morning battle
Tuesday, Admiral Chester W.
Nimitz announced today.
The communique said ' the
American tines remained gen-
erally unchanged Wednesday
on the basis'of the latest re-
ports from the former U.
naval station 111 miles south!
of Saipan.
Marine raiders, now part of ;
the First Provisional Marine
brigade,- continued torturous
fighting through Japanese de-
fenses on Orate peninsula, to-
ward the important airfield
there, and toward Sumay.
More than 2,<K>0 Japanese
entrenched ip dugouts and
pillboxes now were fighting off
marines with automatic wea-
pons, while enemy artillery
and mortars sprayed the
American positions with ex-
plosive shells.
U. S. gunboats steamed
close inshore to support the
invasion troops st short range.
Simultaneously carrier aircraft
bombed the Japanese airfields
on Guam, and also at Rota to
the north.
Delayed reports indicated
severe fighting occurred before
dawn July 25 in the northern
beach area..
Japanese attacking in the
dark slipped through United
States lines in some places. As
day broke the Americans be-
gan mopping np those who
had filtered through and re-
pulsed other enemy ground
troops who spearheaded the
offensive.
The attackers left behind
an estimated 2,000 dead after
the battle was finished. Those
losses brought the total of ene-
my troops killed on Guam to a
minimum of 4,800 while 2,089
Japanese dead have been
counted an Tinian.
The desperate fighting an
Guam indicated the Japanese
intend to make a typical, last-
ditch stand there in an attempt
to prevent the United States
from obtaining use of Aprs
harbor, Orate air field, and
shore installations.
The military facilities avail-
able on Guam could form the
nucleus for an important west-
o jern Pacific operations base.
The bitter fighting there
was no surprise to our com-
manders who had anticipated
the battle for Guam would be
as difficult as any fought in
the Paidfe—including Sai-
pan.
The Gnam terrain is ideally
suited for the Japanese style
of defense, - in which small
units hole up in caves and
dugouts in the hills.
